### 2/5 — Unsuitable remarks

*2017-02-22, version 1.5*

Used this within a school setting, one of the three letter remarks when something is wrong is unsuitable for children. We will be deleting.

### 2/5 — Aon-monkey

*2015-03-18, version 1.0*

Nice game but ads is not!!! 
เกมน่าเล่น แต่กุรำคาญมาก โคนาแม่งขึ้นตลอด :(

### 1/5 — Not recommend

*2015-03-18, version 1.0*

Jelek banget

### 2/5 — Unfamiliar Words

*2015-03-17, version 1.0*

ITS COOL.. WOW 4 letter word.. BUT THE HECK? Most of it.. I only saw it for the first time. I lasted for like.. 5 rounds or something.

### 1/5 — Dictionary words??

*2015-03-17, version 1.0*

This game uses its own dictionary that none of us are privy to.

### 1/5 — Is there even such a word?

*2015-03-17, version 1.0*

The game only gives a 4 letter word for you to guess which is extremely hard to do especially that there is no category given for the guess. There are even words such as "TSKS" that don't really exist at all!!

### 1/5 — Ignore the fake reviews. This game is terrible.

*2015-03-17, version 1.0*

I'm fairly certain all the other reviews are fake. Don't download this game. There are ton of made-up or obscure words, so it's nearly impossible to make any progress. And every time you fail (which will probably take less than a minute), you have to watch another five second ad. It's just a money grab for the lame app developer. Don't download this. It's awful.

### 1/5 — Pitiful

*2015-03-16, version 1.0*

This could've been such a great game wherein you'd keep trying to beat your own/your friends' high score. But then the 4-letter answers it gave were not real words in any language. Uninstalled until they fix this or simply add 5-6 letter REAL answers

### 1/5 — Words don't exist!

*2015-03-16, version 1.0*

There was a round when my first letter was C and no vowel was given to me. Of course I wasn't able to answer so I just waited until the shark eats the poor guy. The answer was CMXW!!! What in the world is that word? There are a lot of words that don't exist. Uninstalled!

### 1/5 — Weird game

*2015-03-16, version 1.0*

Preview seem to be fun but not even fun . No hint given and those answer are weird too. Some english words that no one will think of .

### 1/5 — Too much ads! Annoying.

*2015-03-16, version 1.0*

Every time u loose, the ads will popup and u have to wait 5secs before u can close it. So annoying! The game concept is ok -- u have to guess the word or else u die. But what the bad thing here is that there is no clue, and some of the words are not even in dictionary! Time is also too short. Oh well, I quickly made this review within a minute from installing and uninstalling it. Don't waste ur time. Trust me.

### 1/5 — ไม่มีคำใบ้บ่

*2015-03-15, version 1.0*

ยาก

### 1/5 — done!!

*2015-03-15, version 1.0*

you put all ads. in every single word. Best apps ever!!

### 1/5 — why can't I open it

*2015-03-15, version 1.0*

it just crashes everytime I click the app...

### 1/5 — Pointless game

*2015-03-15, version 1.0*

No clues, some words are not even actual words. The ads are also pretty annoying. Thought the screenshots look promising but the gameplay is pointless.

### 1/5 — Totally not suitable for kids

*2020-08-15, version 1.5*

I urge every parent or teacher to STAY AWAY from this app. It is absolutely not suited for children and should not be played by them!

### 1/5 — Unsuitable language

*2017-03-08, version 1.5*

Like the previous reviewer we have been using this app in a primary school with its intended audience - young children. Unfortunately, we also experienced the regular use of a completely unsuitable 3 letter word and we've therefore removed the app. We'd recommend adults look carefully at the program, especially when the shark gets the man and consider whether they wish their children to view the comment that is made.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-12-01, version 1.2*

After the update the app is nothing more but useless.i actually enjoyed this game. Hope it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Failing

*2015-11-19, version 1.2*

I just updated my app. Now, I cannot open it. What could have caused this.. I'm hoping for a new update soon that will fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Disgraceful

*2015-07-26, version 1.1*

I cannot believe an app aimed for children uses the acronym WTF. Unbelievable. I'm deleting. So should you!

### 1/5 — Crap game

*2015-03-21, version 1.0*

Guessing of random words without any hints. Gotta wait 5 seconds before able to close ads. Nonsense.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2015-03-20, version 1.0*

I expected much more from a highly-known developer who made Flappy Birds to make MORE than this, you really think you can get ANYWHERE with this game? You should have just sticked to Flappy Birds and siphon the money it made.

### 1/5 — Wth

*2015-03-19, version 1.0*

SO BAD!

### 1/5 — Do some improvements

*2015-03-18, version 1.0*

Give a topic so at least we know what word we should think of instead of trying to type in alphabets which leads to the shark eating the captain

### 1/5 — annoying no such words

*2015-03-18, version 1.0*

there is a word like brrrr mell sleel hiii like wth

Very good game for education

### 5/5 — Unique

*2015-03-12, version 1.0*

Very good for learning library

### 3/5 — Weird words

*2017-02-28, version 1.5*

The idea of the game seems pretty fun but it needs some updating. The letters available sometimes don't make words and the 'answers' sometimes aren't even words - maybe it is in another language, or they're acronyms. 
There should be options to shuffle new letters, skip, give up, etc. 
I think the game has potential to be better. It's pretty fun but the dictionary in the game really do need fixing.

### 3/5 — Fine😒

*2015-03-15, version 1.0*

😒Some words that are accepted does not even Exist (Even in the Dictionary), And other Country Names aren't even Accepted😒
