### 5/5 — They gave me “Bumhug” for an ork name

*2020-12-16, version 1.63*

Bumhug is legendary

### 1/5 — Horrible.

*2018-01-26, version 1.63*

Very time I touch, an Ad pops out. It Is terrible! Even if I’m not touching the screen, an ad pops out, and it is not like every 2 or 5 minutes at least! Is every second! The worst app for names ever.

### 1/5 — Fake virus alert

*2017-09-01, version 1.63*

Don't download this app will just keep popping up a window that tells you that apple security detected viruses on your phone. The warning is not real it's a scam to try get you to download something that will get your information. Apple please remove this app.

### 1/5 — Okay into terrible

*2017-05-19, version 1.63*

I used to like this app, but it has become completely unusable because so many adds pop up.

### 1/5 — Sigh

*2017-04-23, version 1.63*

The app is nice but literally every few seconds an ad pops up

### 2/5 — Ads are urber annoying

*2016-09-06, version 1.63*

This is a great app, but has two serious issues:
1. The name history isn't persistent across sessions. 
2. The ads need a way to shut off. I'd be happy to give the author an in-app purchase to disable them. 

Many of the ads auto-leave the app to purchase something in the ad, either from the App Store or a web browser, making the app unusable because as soon as it launches, it exits to the App Store or Safari. Either less invasive ads, or money to the author would be greatly appreciated.

### 1/5 — Ugh...

*2016-08-09, version 1.62*

Way to many ads. It's ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Too Many Ads

*2016-06-25, version 1.62*

What once was my go to app for names has just become my latest uninstall. Ads everywhere! I understand the one when you first start up but popups? Really?

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2016-06-13, version 1.62*

This app is ridiculous, you can't even use it without being taken to the App Store for another app. Horrible waste of time.

### 1/5 — Ads Galore

*2016-05-15, version 1.62*

I appreciate the need for generating a form of income. I can tolerate the bottom ads on most apps. 

You are forcibly making your app exit to another app with very disturbing and distracting advertising. 

Instead of being so focused on the generation of income, make an app that truly works for the user. 

Stick with iAds that doesn't cause an app switch.  

App deleted.
