C3BH **Developer response:** Hi C3bh- Our apologies for this issue! You can email us directly at support@BrainiumStudios.com. We would love to help! ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing & pop up ads *2019-11-16, version 1.5* I’ve managed to play one game in past 24 hrs. All other game attempts have frozen and required reboot to eliminate. Despite paying for an ad free version, I’m still getting google-driven pop up ads. Wish I hadn’t bought it. Very disappointed. ### 3/5 — Good app *2020-06-26, version 1.5* Good app but too American. ### 3/5 — Great games word search *2020-03-03* Word search needs update for full screen game play not the black bars at top and bottom on iPhone 11 ### 3/5 — Good app marred by poor design to remove ads *2017-10-06, version 1.5* This is a good app but if you. Want to remove the. Ads you will struggle I have tried 5 times and now given up ### 3/5 — C *2013-03-03, version 1.3.2* I like solitaire. It's a great game. The only change I would make is if you are playing and losing like five or six in a row it's too discouraging. How about 2 in a row then win a few again ### 3/5 — Good! *2012-12-29, version 1.3.2* Pretty good game to pass time. ### 3/5 — Good way to pass time *2012-12-05, version 1.3.2* Word search is fine but there needs to be additional categories ### 3/5 — Review *2012-10-29, version 1.3.1* Needs more it new subjects and words. It seems to be the same words all the time. ### 3/5 — Why pay? *2011-12-26* The $.99 version is basically the same as the free version! I just paid for nothing!! It's fun so I thought paying for it I would get more categories or open bonus rounds or something... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2019-03-29, version 1.5* Easy to use and fun to do. ### 5/5 — The BEST! *2018-07-17* I love word search puzzles, and this one is, hands-down, the BEST! WHAT I LOVE: The PLATFORM...it’s colorful, but not cluttered or distracting, is intuitively organized, and is easy to navigate; The OPTIONS...from easy to challenging—the word lists change within each level, so one isn’t always reworking the same old lists repeatedly, although many words do reappear in subsequent lists, which is appropriate; The STATS...your progress is tracked—number of words/games played, total time played, and average time per word; Option to PAUSE...If you want to leave in the middle of a game, you may...the game will automatically pause (or you can manually pause it)...upon resuming the game, you will be asked whether you want to resume your game or start a new one; The LISTS...The words are organized into categories, and leveled within...many games for fun play; The HINTS...if you get stuck, the hint button shows you where the first letter is located. WHAT I DO NOT LIKE: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I love this game just the way it is. GREAT JOB, DEVELOPERS! And, thank you. **Developer response:** We're glad you enjoy the game Crow, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! ### 5/5 — Word Search *2017-08-02* Really fun and challenging. Could offer more categories though. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback Umbermoon!
