As a result the game is not enjoyable. Now deleted. ### 1/5 — Completely unplayable *2024-07-07, version 1.0.6* Even when you pay to remove ads, game play is constantly interrupted by ads. The ad finishes playing and up pops a notice saying you failed the level. AVOID! ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-07-01* I’m only giving this game one star because I have to in order to leave a review. Let me start by saying I like this game. The puzzles are challenging, and it is legit fun. That being said there are WAY too many ads!!! As if that wasn’t bad enough, if you watch an ad while you are playing, your time does NOT pause. Also, if your time runs out and you want (or have to, like me) complete every level, you can do that as long as………you guessed it! Watch another ad. Game is great, WAY TOO MANY ADS!!!! ### 1/5 — Junk game *2024-05-16* Don’t waste your time. You wait while going through the ads just to be forced back to the beginning. Worst part is, the ads are for junk games that I already downloaded, tried, and deleted. ### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS!!! *2024-05-03, version 1.0.3* I spent more time watching ads than game play. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Stupid!!! Will be deleting the app. ### 1/5 — To many min long ads *2024-04-20* I remove one screw on first level takes less than a sec. I have to watch a min long ad. I go to next level make two move I have to watch another ad. I mean come on. Change the way your ads are. I’ll watch ads all day long if I get a reward for it that will help in the game. But I’m not going to sit here and watch ads more than time I play the game all together. ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-03-29, version 1.0.2* Keeps freezing on me with no other apps open on iPhone 14. 😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Muchos anuncios *2024-03-04* Te obligan a ver anuncios ### 1/5 — Run *2024-03-03* If you like commercials, this app is for you ### 2/5 — Good but…. *2024-07-09* Gameplay is nice. A lot of challenging puzzles. Problem is the screw race. If you are rich enough to buy no ads, it’s good. But, if you have ads , you will lose by watching those ads that break into the game. While others can zip through without ads. So, while you watch, they are winning. It should be fair gameplay and is not. I used to enjoy the game. But, now there are a LOT of other screw puzzles out there that are just as good or better. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SCREW: NUTS AND BOLTS *2024-05-25, version 1.0.3* I absolutely love this game!!!! ### 5/5 — By far the best Screw puzzle *2024-05-11* Some easy puzzles, some more challenging. All very good. OST fun of all this genre of puzzles. Good graphics, very colorful. Unfortunately there are only 400 puzzles so far. If you don’t care to watch the ads, just turn off your internet for a while. ### 5/5 — Nuts and bolts *2024-04-11, version 1.0.2* Love the game,but to many adverts ### 4/5 — I’m delete this game *2024-04-06* Too many ads!!! ### 3/5 — It is not bad but *2024-08-25* Has potential but banner at bottom, ad -level-ad.. I watch more ads than play. ### 3/5 — Keeps jamming *2024-05-13, version 1.0.3* Have to keep signing out and then back in as it freezes on your “you have won” page after playing a level. Very frustrating ### 2/5 — Ads toooooo long! *2024-07-05* I love playing this puzzle, but I’m ready to ditch it because I feel like it is nothing more than a moneymaking scheme. I believe you should get paid for the effort you’ve put into making a good game, but the ads are way too long! In the complicated puzzles, some pieces aren’t consistent in falling out of the way and getting hung up on another piece. Sometimes a screw will fit in some tight places but not at other times. ### 2/5 — Too buggy *2024-06-29* I really liked this game, but deleted it due to the bugs. There are spare holes for free, and spare holes that require watching an ad. Fair enough. But more and more often the free holes ALSO trigger the ads. Sometimes the time watching an ad counts against you, so when the ad is over, you’ve already lost. Of course you can replay after watching another ad. And the first screw you move triggers another ad. Rinse and repeat. ### 2/5 — Ads *2024-03-03* Ads too long & too many --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
