### 1/5 — Too much of adult advertisement

*2024-07-03, version 5.0*

App development should not allow to make money out of adult content advertisements

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2024-04-13*

Absolutely too many ads! I understand, the games are okay overall. While I appreciate the need for ads, the excessive amount can be frustrating. It becomes an issue when you end up spending more time watching ads than actually playing. It's quite disappointing to encounter an ad every time you finish a game.

### 3/5 — Good but in 3 game ads are coming again and again

### 1/5 — Technical issues

*2023-11-09, version 5.0*

I have an iPhone and for some reason the word search box is bigger than the screen so you only see half the letters. Of course I purchased the app before getting that far in the game to see this. Disappointed as I enjoy the word search and other variations of the game itself

### 5/5 — Fantastic fun for entire family
