### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2022-01-18*

Is there something wrong with this game ? I downloaded it and can’t get past the Home Screen with the balloon on it.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry you’re having an issue getting the game to work. If you could contact our support email, we’d be happy to help you out!

### 1/5 — Stops the game and won’t play

*2022-01-02*

I made it to level 50ish and the game just stops and it won’t play any further.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re working on a fix for this issue right now, we hope you’ll try it out when it’s released soon!

### 1/5 — Haptic feedback

*2021-11-12*

It’s new since last I played a while ago and there seems to be no way to turn it off? Real bummer, I used to love this game but it’s too much sensory for me now.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback! We’ll have an update out by this weekend that will allow players to disable Haptic feedback. Thanks for bearing with us 🙏

### 2/5 — Misleading ad, ok game, flawed word bank

*2022-02-17*

The advertising implies that an objective The advertising implies that an objective of the game is to find as many words as possible, Boggle-style. 

That is not the case. You have to figure out only the words that it wants, to fit in its crossword-like game board, most of which are short, repetitive, and plurals. 

It’s ok, but be prepared for how many words it doesn’t count/include. No being clever. It wants words (and non-words) like “pic”, “yup”, “yep”, “cie”, “ver”, “tri”, “rep”, “nan”, “duh”, “undues”, and “gobblr”, instead of “shriek”, “sallow”, “rogue”, “cover”, “rivet”, “inane”, “frill”, “pronto”, “gobbler”, etc. 

You will inevitably guess ten unique words that are not on the board, but the board of six will have only three words and also their plurals. Also, the longer you play, the more it includes misspelled words and abbreviations.

### 2/5 — I think it’s broken

*2021-12-23*

There are literally no other 6-letter words that come out of “growth.”

### 2/5 — A lesser word game

*2021-12-07*

Ads are pretty invasive and you don’t get extra points for finding words not in the puzzle itself like in some other similar games.

**Developer response:** Hello and thanks for your feedback! We’re working on an update that will give players credit for finding words that aren’t in the puzzle. We hope you’ll try it out when it’s ready!

### 3/5 — Freezes

*2022-10-26*

Gets to a certain level then freezes and have to start again

**Developer response:** Hello, we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this issue. If you could email us details at hello@brainstormgames.io we’d be happy to look into it and get to work on a fix. Thanks for playing!

### 3/5 — Misspelled?

*2022-03-20*

Can someone please tell me what the worth Gobblr is cause that was exactly the word. Also it’s hard to connect the letters as it often drops letters while I’m trying to connect them. Getting a little frustrated.
