Previously, the ads didn’t bother me. Lately, tho the ads have become invasive. I do not like that an ad can force my safari browser open to a certain website of their choosing. This is incredibly invasive and should not be allowed. Yes, I’m sure I can pay to remove ads but I shouldn’t have to. Go back to just showing an ad and stop the other nonsense. I’ve stopped playing a couple other games because they became inundated with these types of invasive ads. I guess this one will be axed next. ### 4/5 — Morning Brain Exercises *2026-08-15, version 1.31.0* Good on the brain ### 3/5 — Too many’s Ads *2026-08-05, version 1.31.0* Used to be good. Now your closing ads time after time. ### 5/5 — Mrs w *2026-07-13, version 1.30.0* Keeps my brain working 🤩 ### 5/5 — Five stars *2026-07-13, version 1.30.0* This game is five stars imo bc in the morning it gets my brain going but without stress so ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 4/5 — Beautiful simple app *2026-06-18, version 1.30.0* Love the minimal design. This app desperately needs a dark mode as the bright white causes a lot of eye strain and makes it unusable for winding down in the evening. Would be great if there was a custom mode where you could select themed words and determine the size of the game. ### 5/5 — I Enjoy Beating the Clock … *2026-06-16, version 1.30.0* This game keeps my eyes and my brains working. ### 2/5 — Only the same few words over and over *2026-06-08, version 1.30.0* Really enjoy this game overall, but I’m up to level 80 and the same words are repeated constantly, makes it boring and takes away the challenge. ### 5/5 — Daily must *2026-06-07, version 1.30.0* 2 mins a day for a win win ### 5/5 — me gusta mucho *2026-06-04, version 1.30.0* me gusta mucho ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-05-31, version 1.30.0* This is the best game ever in my opinion because it is relaxing and just peaceful and fun to all at the same time so yeah just hope you injoy relaxing ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-05-21, version 1.30.0* Amazing game!!! ### 4/5 — Rechtschreibung *2026-05-13* Deutsche Rechtschreibung beachten wäre schön - ihr scheint die Regeln mit ss-ß nicht zu kennen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — More ad time than game time!!! *2026-09-03, version 1.31.0* More ad time than game time!!! ### 1/5 — Mostly ads *2026-08-06, version 1.31.0* I played 5 rounds and watched a dozen ads. Complete overkill with the ads. Complete scam! This should be removed from the App Store. Especially with all the fake 5 star reviews. ### 1/5 — Not worth the ad interruption *2026-08-05, version 1.31.0* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Not a word “search” *2026-07-17, version 1.30.0* The puzzles in this game are just lists of words in parallel from top to bottom - it’s so easy that you don’t even have to look at the word bank to solve the puzzle completely. It’s not mentally stimulating at all; just lazy on the developer’s behalf. ### 1/5 — Used to be really good *2026-07-12, version 1.30.0* Updating a year later to say that somehow it’s gotten worse. The ads make the game unplayable. So the developer response saying they’d consider reducing the number of ads was clearly not true! I used to play this game for hours, but something changed since the last time I played. The ads are way too much now. I opened the app, first thing I got before doing anything was an ad. Tapped on the puzzle to play - ad before I could play. Finished the puzzle, another ad. Tapped on the next puzzle, you guessed it, another ad. Four ads to pay a single minute-long puzzle is crazy. Ad removal is $13, which seems steep for a mobile app too. ### 1/5 — Cool game horrible adds *2026-06-22, version 1.30.0* This is a calm cool game I enjoy playing on the train on my way to work but the amount of adds is insane add before the game and after you win is wild ### 1/5 — Music *2026-05-27, version 1.30.0* Calm Music ### 1/5 — Yikes? *2026-03-09, version 1.30.0* Why was the first word on the word search I just completed “bombing”? WTH ### 1/5 — Too many ADS *2025-12-31, version 1.30.0* There are way too many ads on this game. The last one before I deleted this game was for blood pressure that was so loud that my phone shook!!! I’m done!!! If I could give 0 stars I would 😡😡 ### 1/5 — Annoying ads on paid app *2025-12-23, version 1.30.0* Apps should be required to warn how many ads they will force upon a user in each 15 minutes of play time. Never would have paid for this app if I knew how many ads there were! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The was great *2026-08-30, version 1.31.0* It fun to play and it amazing ### 5/5 — Smart *2026-08-20, version 1.31.0* Pay attention ### 5/5 — Relaxing game *2026-08-18, version 1.31.0* Easy and stress releiving ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-08-13, version 1.31.0* Enjoyable and lots of fun! ### 5/5 — Word search *2026-08-13, version 1.31.0* Keeps your mind alert ### 5/5 — Word search *2026-08-07, version 1.31.0* Books are as fun as mine: A Real Search/ Beverly Norris on Amazon. I want to add my puzzles; Bible based. ### 5/5 — Sharpens my mind *2026-08-07, version 1.31.0* I found I pay attention to small details after playing this game a few months. Really enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Get away from life *2026-08-06, version 1.31.0* I love this app! It helps quiet the noise. ### 5/5 — Word Search - Crossword Game *2026-08-01, version 1.31.0* Overall the app is good but I do wish it gives harder more challenging words and limiting the hints to make it more fun. ### 5/5 — Search yellow word *2026-07-16, version 1.30.0* I want this go back onto my phone from the App Store --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
