However, the amount of categories that need to be updated in preposterous. Pls update Oscar nominated films because I’ve lost so many rounds for doing recent movies. That’s all I ask please make sure you’re looking at the “this is a valid answer” claims and updating and then your game is a 10/10 ### 3/5 — Jogo muito bom porém cheio de anúncios *2026-08-06* O jogo é bom, porém a quantidade de anúncios chega a desmotivar a permanência no mesmo. Sei que existe a versão paga para que isto não ocorra, porém os usuários não assinantes são bombardeados com propagandas a cada 30-60 segundos. Se isto não lhe incomoda, com certeza o jogo vale as 5 estrelas, muito bem pensado e executado! **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback, Ana Clara! Entendemos que os anúncios podem ser incômodos, mas eles nos ajudam a manter o jogo gratuito. Considere a opção de adquirir o pacote que remove os anúncios para uma experiência sem interrupções. Ficamos felizes que tenha gostado do jogo, e esperamos que considere ajustar a classificação para cinco estrelas 😉 ### 4/5 — Fun but too many ads! *2026-08-05, version 3.34.1* I love this game however, the ads after every single round is super annoying! ### 2/5 — Fun game when it works *2026-07-31, version 3.34.1* App freezes on the ipad, started over the past week where I can see my games but nothing happens when I try to click on one ### 4/5 — Por favor atualizem *2026-07-22* O jogo está muito desatualizado, por exemplo em jogadores ganhadores da copa se você escreve campeões de 2022 não dá certo. Já tá mais que na hora de atualizar… **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo comentário, Ma💚! Lamentamos a experiência desatualizada. Você pode clicar na palavra na tela de resultados para sinalizar o problema. Isso ajuda a manter o jogo atualizado e interessante! 😊 ### 3/5 — Roleta *2026-07-20* A quantidades de vezes em que as letras K, W, Y e Q aparecem é impressionante! Até parece de propósito para a gente ter que pagar pra rodar de novo. **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback, Fernanda! Entendemos a frustração com as letras. A roleta é aleatória, mas repassaremos sua preocupação à equipe. Todos os comentários ajudam a melhorar o jogo! 😊 ### 3/5 — Bugs *2026-07-10* O jogo é muito bom, mas deu uma hora para outra quando eu entro no aplicativo(stop) eu entro e não consigo clicar em nada ele deu um bug que faz mais de duas semanas que não resolve queria muito saber se tem como resolver sem eu desinstalar o aplicativo. **Developer response:** Oi, Camille! Agradecemos seu feedback! 😟 Para resolver isso, por favor, envie um e-mail com uma captura de tela do erro, para que possamos ajudar. Nos envie um e-mail para stop@fanatee.com. ### 3/5 — Es fino, pero.. *2026-07-10, version 3.34.1* Mucha publicidad ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-07-09, version 3.34.1* Good app very fun except when you run out of lives and gets 4 cause my grandson isn’t very good ### 1/5 — It said anteaters were considered reptiles/amphibians *2026-06-06, version 3.34.1* wow ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-03, version 3.34.1* Can be fun, but there are too many ads to enjoy the game. Played this game a few years ago and there weren’t ever this many ads. Any time I click a button to proceed, I keep getting ads. ### 3/5 — 🤷🏻‍♀️ *2026-05-30, version 3.34.1* It would be a much better game if actual valid answers were accepted ### 1/5 — Great game -could be better though *2026-05-27, version 3.34.1* I love the challenge of this game. However, I hate that certain letters populate when there’s no answers for it. Like X is pretty limited, there’s no US States or Capitols that begin with Q, and so on. ### 4/5 — Good for your brain *2026-05-27, version 3.34.1* I’m enjoying the game. I purchased the ad free option so it’s more fun to play. Definitely need at least 5 lives and really you should consider removing Q and X. The one thing that irritates me are those players who cheat by looking up answers. It be nice to be able to block them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads!Ads!Ads! *2026-08-22, version 3.34.1* If you love Ads download this game ### 1/5 — As after every game?!? *2026-08-22, version 3.34.1* Don't download this game unless you love watching ads after every game. ### 1/5 — ADS - more than I’ve ever seen *2026-08-19, version 3.34.1* You will spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game ### 1/5 — Privacy policy is alarming *2026-08-17, version 3.34.1* We’re just being used to train ai???? For free???? Boo!!!! ### 1/5 — I hate this game *2026-08-07, version 3.34.1* Too many freaking ads and sweats. ### 1/5 — Quit asking me to rate the game over and over *2026-07-15, version 3.34.1* I’ve already reviewed this more than once! So I’m giving a one star rating every time it asks me after each game! ### 1/5 — Total rubbish *2026-07-11, version 3.34.1* Apparently “keys” are not an item you would find in your pocket?😂😂 Yeah to be fair I tend to stick mine in my arse. ### 1/5 — Ads make it unusable *2026-07-08, version 3.34.1* The ads are so long and frequent that the game is unplayable ### 1/5 — Ads, Fake Information *2026-06-29, version 3.34.1* Too much ads after each game, no Ukrainian language, as understood from other reviews - developers support aggression as they consider occupied Donetsk as ruzzian city. Deleted right away after seeing this review ### 1/5 — Fun but way too many ads *2026-06-09, version 3.34.1* The game itself is fun and a cool concept. The amount of ads genuinely ruins it entirely I don’t wanna have to pay 5 pounds for there not to be an ad every second. I understand the company needs money but it is extremely excessive to have an ad after every single game and clearly does not think about the user experience as well as they should. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Educational and fun *2026-08-20, version 3.34.1* I love this game. It is fun and it helps you think. ### 5/5 — Pretty solid game. “It a’ight” — my friend. STOP and read review *2026-08-07, version 3.34.1* STOP and read title ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-11, version 3.34.1* Bueno ### 5/5 — Stop the goat *2026-06-19, version 3.34.1* Stop is the best you seen like you are in your hero and queen era it always gives slaytastic and clock it vibes it also gets your brain thinking it’s fun ### 5/5 — 2 many ads tho *2026-06-14, version 3.34.1* Fun ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2026-05-29, version 3.34.1* Perfect to pass the time ### 5/5 — GOSTINHO DE INFÂNCIA *2026-05-17* Ótimo para raciocinio rápido **Developer response:** Obrigado por seu feedback e por nos atualizar sua avaliação! Ficamos muito contentes que o jogo traz boas memórias e desafia seu raciocínio! Se você tiver considerações ou sugestões, não hesite em nos contatar. 😊 ### 5/5 — Needs Updating *2026-04-14, version 3.34.1* There are so many answers I put that are absolutely valid answers. For example, the category was “fear of” with the letter N and I put “number 13l (Triskaidekaphobia) and it was invalid. Another topic was “Objects made of…” to which I put “Nylon Fiber,” another valid answer because many things are made using Nylon Fibers. The app needs a faster process to confirm appeals on if words count or not! ### 5/5 — Fun word game *2026-04-06, version 3.34.1* I enjoy playing. Fun categories. ### 5/5 — I’m awesome and my girlfriend hates me for it *2026-03-02, version 3.34.1* You read the title.
