### 1/5 — Make a reasonable lifetime option

*2025-12-08, version 2.2*

Useless without a pay-once lifetime option. The permissions are very invasive anyway, but if you add a one-time lifetime option I *might* be interested in this game, because I do enjoy a good word game.  I do NOT like games riddled with ads (whether forced or optional win-to-earn), or filled with consumable in-app purchases in order to properly play the game.

### 4/5 — Scratch Phrase

*2022-01-12, version 2.2*

I absolutely love this game but, there’s not enough levels!

### 2/5 — Bug!!

*2021-12-28, version 2.2*

Can’t complete some as letters missing and only when I pay to solve whole puzzle it shows I was correct! But the letters are sometimes missing so I can’t complete it. Also sometimes when I buy a hint, it takes coins and gives no hint. 

Please fix!!

### 5/5 — With ur da

*2021-09-12, version 2.2*

Great experience. We all had a really insightful time with ur game…. CREAMPIEING HAHAHAHA

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-03-23, version 2.2*

Can’t skip if you get stuck. Picture doesn’t reveal fully. Just a con game

### 5/5 — Excellent!!

*2021-02-24, version 2.1*

Barely any ads, super simple and fun and a different twist on the usual! Great and would totally recommend!

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2020-09-06, version 2.0*

I love this game! Some phrases are easy, some a challenge. If I get stuck, I take a screenshot and send to family. Someone will figure it out and it becomes a family challenge! Can’t wait for a second Scratch Phrase.

### 1/5 — Update deleted all my coins and progress!

*2020-09-01, version 2.0*

The update deleted all my coins and progress! This isn’t a good update by any means. 

What happened? Please restore!
