I’m trying to have this for my 89-year-old mom she’s confused and as it is. If she has to just sit and wait for three or four minutes she’s not gonna even get anything out of it. I already paid $3.99 for it on her iPad and I can’t even get it to do anything. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like the long wait times are making it challenging for your mom to enjoy the game, and we truly appreciate your feedback on this issue. It's essential for her to have a smooth and engaging experience. For any issues, please reach out to our support team at hola@tellmewow.com. We’re hopeful that with the right information, you’ll find a way to make it work for her.

Thank you for your patience, and we’re hopeful we can improve your experience soon! ### 2/5 — ads are abusive *2026-04-23* the games are decent. slow to start and gradually get a little harder but the ads are abusive even after it’s finished and you press X they don’t close off and let you back in the game. you have to shut the game off and re open it. not sure if this is a bug or not. and an ad after each level is annoying. don’t offer it for free if you’re just going to frustrate people. those who will use your game may have cognitive issues. don’t make them worse. sheesh! **Developer response:** Hello tagsangel, It sounds like the experience with ads has significantly impacted your enjoyment of the game.

Too many ads ### 3/5 — Parent *2026-02-16, version 3.6.2* Names & Faces doesn’t work. Does not display when selected. ### 2/5 — Needs simpler levels for dementia sufferers *2026-02-06* Looking for a simpler level for a senior with dementia. So not memorising the previous screen but instead using fine motor skills to navigate the dog to the bone (with no hidden obstacles). Great graphics though **Developer response:** Hi there!

I have to close out the site and start over. ### 2/5 — Ads, ads, and more ads. *2025-12-28, version 3.6.2* So many ads and no clear way to stop them. Makes it impossible to use the app. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2025-11-16, version 3.6.2* Great idea, but it is worthless for people with a dementia to sit through so many ads. ### 3/5 — Publicité *2025-11-09* Jeu top, mais beaucoup trop de pubs. Dommage ! **Developer response:** Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciez le jeu ! Cependant, nous comprenons que la fréquence des publicités puisse être dérangeante. Votre retour est précieux et nous vous remercions de l'avoir partagé. Nous espérons que vous continuerez à profiter de l'expérience de jeu ! ### 2/5 — Could be better *2025-10-26, version 3.6.2* Paid to remove ads and ads are still showing. OK app when it works but still buggy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Je bloque sur le premier jeu, problème de traduction *2026-08-02* Dès le premier jeu, cela commence mal ! Que signifie « bald » ? Si je dois avoir en parallèle un traducteur, c’est un problème, n’est-ce pas ? **Developer response:** Bonjour Laurenceya, Nous comprenons que la traduction dans le premier jeu ait pu prêter à confusion, et nous vous remercions pour votre retour.

Just shows 2 button at top and 1 won’t work, the other tells you how to play. Opened and closed trying over and over with same result. Other games play an ad after every level, can’t even replay same level without an ad…trying to force you to pay. Shouldn’t even call it free. And I’m not paying when not all games work! **Developer response:** Hello sj-aps, It sounds like you're experiencing significant issues with loading certain games, and we truly appreciate you sharing this. It's frustrating when things don’t work as expected, especially when ads interrupt your gameplay. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ve noted your concerns regarding the game experience and ad frequency. Please remember, there are several paid options available to remove ads for a smoother experience. For further assistance, please consider using the in-app support options to provide more details about the loading issues.

C’est dommage, mais je désinstalle… **Developer response:** Salut Jean-Vivi ! Merci d'avoir partagé vos impressions. Les publicités peuvent effectivement perturber l'expérience de jeu, et nous comprenons que cela puisse être frustrant. Votre retour est vraiment important pour nous.

Nous espérons que vous trouverez un jeu qui vous plaira davantage et que vous reviendrez nous voir bientôt ! ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2026-01-27* Simple games to start with, to be expected, however when the ratio of games to ads is less than 1:1 (ie spending more time skipping ads than playing the games), then I delete and try something else. Fully appreciate you need to make money, but this is just cynical and greedy. Can I interest you in an Audi A1, 74000 miles, 67 plate, auto wipers and lights, one careful owner, red, FSH, no accidents ? Bob from Hounslow tried our new weight-loss regime for a month and lost 116 pounds! Admittedly 100 pounds was in hidden costs, but he still lost over a stone in weight ! I’ll leave it there. **Developer response:** Hey there! It sounds like you've had quite the experience with the ads, and we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Your feedback is really valuable to us, and we’re always looking to improve. Remember, our game is just for entertainment, and we hope you find a gaming experience that brings you joy! If you have any further concerns, feel free to reach out to our support team at hola@tellmewow.com. Happy gaming! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-12-25, version 3.6.2* Too many ads.

If it happens again going just delete and move on to something else. ### 1/5 — Ripped me off! *2025-05-20, version 3.6.1* I paid for ad removal and my Mom with Alzheimer’s is still getting ads that cause her great confusion. What a disgrace! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So far so good on the first try *2026-08-09* I'm still on the easy level so I want to find out how far does this game go without getting boring. **Developer response:** Hi NT Ann!
