Lol ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-01-06, version 1.2* Keeps the brain sharp! ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2016-01-06, version 1.2* Very good game just to many ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate add popups *2016-01-22, version 1.2* I hate it!!! ### 1/5 — Ads *2016-01-12, version 1.2* Ads ### 1/5 — Ads *2016-01-05, version 1.2* To many ads ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2015-12-29, version 1.2* The game is fun but so many negatives. After I beat some levels, when I go back to the game it automatically resets to 3 or 4 levels back I already beat (then I have to replay those same levels-on expert it's super annoying esp)! Adds are terrible! Not worth it at all! ### 1/5 — Cool it with the adds!! *2015-11-10, version 1.2* This game is so irritating with all the freaking adds! I'm giving it one because I accidentally pressed the 'rate it' button because the stupid thing kept popping up ALL THE TIME!! No one will want to play it if it's this annoying. ### 1/5 — Volume??? *2015-11-01, version 1.2* Why is it impossible to turn down the volume or mute the sound? Until this is fixed, I'm giving this a rating of 1. ### 1/5 — Frustrating. *2015-10-24, version 1.2* Takes you back to puzzles you've already solved. If you purchase hints- it will give you same hint several times in a row, yet still take away from the number of hints you have paid for. Frustrating ### 1/5 — OMG the ads! *2015-10-14* Apparently people are giving this game 5 stars so that they can get rid of the ads and just play the game. I have never seen ads pop up this frequently in any game I have ever played. I can't enjoy the game because the pop up ads are so frequent! I refuse to give a high rating just to get rid of the ads. As for the game itself, not bad, but the thing I found annoying is that you may think of more than one solution to the puzzle, but the game won't accept any but the solution preprogrammed. ### 3/5 — Fun except *2016-01-27, version 1.2* The add campaign on steroids ! Maybe spam us every min but not every 20 seconds ### 3/5 — Great game but... *2015-10-31, version 1.2* Too many ads! Holy cow! I love the game but it gets super annoying when every time you win a game there's an ad. Other than that you'll love the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Word Dots *2026-07-30, version 3.0* Unlock 200 levels of play inside each four levels of hidden words ### 5/5 — The ads *2016-05-13, version 2.0* I hope this will make the ads go! They are so annoying! Over all this is a pretty good game. Maybe a 4 star. It's fun. But omg the ads!!! ### 5/5 — Meh *2016-03-17, version 2.0* 5 stars to remove ads ### 5/5 — Fun *2016-01-28, version 1.2* Fun but ads are annoying ### 5/5 — It's a great game! *2016-01-27, version 1.2* I love it and it's so fun to play. ### 5/5 — 5 stars for ad removal *2016-01-26, version 1.2* 5 stars for ad removal ### 5/5 — Fun but annoying game *2016-01-25, version 1.2* I like it but I hate it. ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-01-24, version 1.2* Ads are annoying ### 5/5 — Ads *2016-01-23, version 1.2* the ads are crazy annoying.... ### 5/5 — Fun *2016-01-21, version 1.2* Fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
