### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2025-12-10, version 2.3.33*

Love the premise, but you can’t listen to your own music in the background while playing, and the list of additional words outside of goals is pretty short on vocabulary.

### 1/5 — No words

*2025-11-10, version 2.3.33*

One of the levels wants me to find five words. There are only four. One of the words is to be ‘cheek’ but there is an l in the middle of it.

### 5/5 — Really Fun Game

*2025-08-03, version 2.3.25*

### 1/5 — What has happened? Please Please Please Fix Your App!!!!!!!!!

*2025-04-20, version 2.3.25*

Normally this is one of my favorite games. But now players are unable to X out of a add after it is finished. I have to come out of game completely and clear the game screen out and then go back into the game to continue playing. Except when I go back into the game it just starts all over again. Too frustrating to try to play this game any more.
