If the requirement to now watch 15 ADS. If it comes back with more tasks, my guess is that it’s as misleading as the other 40-50 apps that I’ve tried. If they pay-up, I’ll recommend them to everyone. ### 5/5 — Friend *2023-12-28* Love this game and a chance to earn a little extra cash is always good ### 5/5 — Word Way *2023-12-21* Just beginning and I’m finding the words are easy. The money keeps adding up, but will let you know if I can cash out. ### 4/5 — Payment? *2023-12-16* I have been playing this for a while now and I don’t think it is going to pay out. After watching 15 ads , now I have to play 30 more levels and then there is probably more to do. Stop false advertising promising that you get paid fast when you don’t. If I don’t get paid then it’s another FAKE GAME to delete ### 3/5 — Love game but been playing since before Thanksgiving never got payout. *2023-12-13* Played this game everyday. Been playing about a month. Get daily game solved plus few others each day. Put in for payout. Never get below 3000 people ahead of me. Been same except one day it said 2100 people. Have about 30 days ready to be paid to my account but nothing and now I doubt it pays at all. Might keep doing daily puzzle for my brain. But don’t download if you need money cause it never happens. And now it’s 2 ads to every word I solve and then if it’s taking me a few minutes to come up with word ad pops up. Also. So most time it’s ads. ### 5/5 — So far, so good! *2023-12-04* So far, so good. Hopefully, this app pays. Unlike some others that you’ll never see the cash. ### 5/5 — Fun. *2023-12-02* Interesting. I have not one any money yet but I’ll keep trying! ### 5/5 — Fun & Easy *2023-12-02* Game is fun and easy to play except for the winning money part. ### 5/5 — Ye *2023-12-02* Unity has NEVER paid out or put some kind of twist of more tasks after you played. If you play do not expect anything because it will not happen. They have a lot of games as well ### 5/5 — Henry Segarra *2023-12-01* I want you transfer all the money so I can buy food. Thank you US. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Show me the money…I’m still waiting *2024-07-24* I don’t understand why these people like to play these games when it comes to paying up. There’s something about games that are Unity brand that don’t pay up. You got to watch 15 ads then complete 30 levels and then they process your query but the numbers go up and down. They provide you with their email but I bet they won’t respond. I’m going to have to stop playing these games that are made by Unity because they’re being dishonest. So anyone who reads this review don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — All lies No Cash Payout *2024-02-28* This game does not payout. The developers are completely dishonest. I have been playing for a couple weeks I have done all the steps to cash out and nothing has been paid out to my PayPal account it just says Queuing and the number fluctuates up and down from 3988 down to 2471 back up to 3624 and so on. This company is pocketing all of the advertising revenue that they get from all of us watching video after video and then they never payout. Please just be honest and transparent. If you payout I’ll change my review but at this point I am very upset. ### 1/5 — Winning *2023-12-27* It’s been a week since I cash out my winning of $1091. The queue at the time was 2800 now I’m 3240 in the queue , what’s this all about. Your add says you can cash out in minutes and yet here I am a week later and nothing is in my PayPal account. Too bad, this game is fun but the developers are not being honest about the prizes or winnings. ### 1/5 — Not what you say *2023-12-25* I am totally fine with playing games and even watching ads but when you go to cash out and it says you have to watch 15 ads ok no problem but when you have continually watched ads probably 100 and all it says is you have watched 3 ads what’s up with that. I want you to find out why it is saying that I want what I have earned. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-12-09* Before you can “redeem” you must watch 15 ads then you must when 30 games. Then it goes into a que. I have the screenshots to show that the amount was position 3046 and now it is 3890. The previous amount I tried to redeem disappeared but never hit my account. There are free apps with much fewer ads that don’t make false claims. There are about 10 ads for each level. However, to “cash out” you have to watch extra ads so it is about 12 ads per level. Don’t waste your time and give them the opportunity to profit from all the ads you have to watch! ### 1/5 — Total scam! *2023-12-07* Do not fall for the crazy high alleged payouts and give this app maker the money from the ads. I have screenshots to prove that the alleged payouts never happened, and the number on the “queue” (which I am sure is some bogus thing) actually grows when waiting for payout. You are also forced to watch more ads and finish more levels before you even get to the queue stage - it is all just bogus way for the maker to get ad revenue. ### 1/5 — Winning *2023-12-04* It’s been a week since I cash out my winning of $1091. The queue at the time was 2800 now I’m 3240 in the queue , what’s this all about. Your add says you can cash out in minutes and yet here I am a week later and nothing is in my PayPal account. Too bad, this game is fun but the developers are not being honest about the prizes or winnings. ### 1/5 — Game is not fair *2023-12-02* Game doesn’t live up to its advertisement! Not at all. First, there’s way too many ads. After every play there is an advertisement. When you are ready to cash out they make you do tasks - watch 30 ads. Then you have to play more games in order to cash out. Great game, but to bad it’s a Scam! ### 1/5 — Fake game *2023-12-02* It says that you don’t have to top off. False. With each level solved, you collect cash. The game says that you can request the cash immediately after you play for an hour. When you try to cash out, you need to watch 15 ads. Once you reach that threshold, it again says that you must watch 30 ads. I uninstalled the game at this point. ### 1/5 — Review *2023-12-01* I enjoy playing the game but dislike having to watch so many ads. The cash out process is ridiculous. First you have to watch ads, then clear additional levels and then you’re put into a queue that your number keeps changing. Example your number may be 2500 then the next time you look it may be 3900. I doubt there will ever be an actual payout. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoying game *2024-07-21* I find this game very relaxing and love the background, as well as the music. Although, I have not won any money yet, I pray I do as the funds will help to pay the balance of my mother’s funeral bill. ### 5/5 — It’s always easy to play *2024-07-15* It’s so easy to play that I don’t even want to go to sleep. I can play this game all day long. I wish other games were the same. ### 5/5 — Games *2024-07-06* These games are just so fun to play and then we lose our selves in them and lose track of time ### 5/5 — Word Wave the crave *2024-07-02* Love the challenge of this game and the amount of money given in the challenge. I can’t wait for the next word puzzle to pop up just to play. This is a great game. ### 5/5 — Review *2024-06-04* The only issue is no contact for you and I am not sure where my winnings go after it reaches PayPal. Do you know. So I can put it in my bank?Thank you and have a peaceful day ### 5/5 — Where is my money I won? *2024-04-07* I have made $2,000. It says I have $2,000 deposit in my PayPal account. No money in it. What is going on. Are you scamming me! I gave you my account numbers. For my PayPal account. ### 5/5 — We’ll wait and see! *2024-03-29* Just downloaded this game and it’s a lot of fun! I’ve already cashed out for $300+. I have to watch some ads for it to be approved and that’s ok. This is a Unity game and I really don’t expect to get paid, but, like I said, it’s fun and a great way to pass the time when nothing’s going on. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t expect to get any money, because Unity has never paid me before, but they do have fun and exciting games! Keep up the good work on that aspect. And if your company ever does decide to live up to what they advertise, like sending the cashed out money to PayPal, you will certainly become my newest BFF! Debby ### 5/5 — Word Connect *2024-01-11* I really enjoy this game because it has a lot of interesting gameplay. ### 5/5 — Great first day! *2024-01-06* Good word game. I am a veteran of the sea, so I love the pictures. I have always enjoyed word games. So for a first day this is a great start. Will let you know if it pays. ### 5/5 — Word wave crossword puzzle *2024-01-03* Found this game on an add it looked easy to play thought I’d give it a try bonus is you get paid to play!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
