There has been no response to anybody in a couple years. What the heck is? I really love this game. I’ve been playing it for a couple years and I’ve won the levels so many times that I have lost count. You guys need to do something to improve this game. Or sell it to somebody that will. Could you guys have a great idea but on the same exact thing for years already, please do something more with it let somebody else do it. I have absolutely no problems with ads. I paid to not have them and I’ve never had them. Once in a great while it’ll take a minute to load the game when I first open it, but I’ve never had any issues with the game itself. ### 3/5 — Waiting *2025-01-25* I really love this game.

And now at the end no more levels????? ### 3/5 — Can no longer play on my iPad *2024-04-17, version 1.5.3* I enjoy playing this game but for some reason it will no longer load on my iPad I get as far as “LOADING” and that’s it. ### 2/5 — WAY too many videos *2024-02-26, version 1.5.3* Let’s say you open the app for the first time today, it’ll make you watch a video. Then you play for 10 seconds and flip over to another app (over to Safari to look up a spelling of a word for example). Maybe you were out of Words for only 10 seconds. It’ll still make you watch another video when you come back. Too much wasted time. ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2024-02-17, version 1.5.3* It’s been a year? No udate. ### 2/5 — Inappropriate Ads *2024-02-03, version 1.5.3* I like the game but the ads are inappropriate for the 4+ rating. That’s discouraging. ### 4/5 — Over too soon *2023-10-04, version 1.5.3* I really enjoyed this game. Found it very challenging. Next thing I know I’m on the last puzzle. I wonder if I start over if it will be just as challenging. I started it over again and was really enjoying the challenge. However, three days ago it wouldn’t download. I’ve deleted and reinstalled several times. Even installed on different device but will not download. Can this be fixed? It finally loaded after a minute or so. Now it takes like 5 seconds. Thanks for responding. Love this game. Am totally addicted. Also people are complaining about ads. I only see them when I add something. ### 3/5 — Great game but…… *2023-09-27, version 1.5.3* Love this game but the ads are killing me and taking all my joyfulness away from me. After every game it’s another ad. Why cant we play like 3 games and then an ad. I know I can put money out to kill the ads but I’m frugal. I have to stop playing cause it’s very annoying. The games not working. It’s been 3 days and still won’t load. ### 4/5 — Over too soon *2023-09-24* I really enjoyed this game. Found it very challenging. Next thing I know I’m on the last puzzle. I wonder if I start over if it will be just as challenging. I started it over again and was really enjoying the challenge. However, three days ago it wouldn’t download. I’ve deleted and reinstalled several times. Even installed on different device but will not download. Can this be fixed? **Developer response:** We are sorry you faced such a problem. Please contact us at support@appsyoulove.com and share details of your problem. We will try to resolve it! ### 2/5 — Annoying *2023-06-08, version 1.5.2* Once again the treasure chest is failing to record completed games. I am going to delete although I enjoy the game ### 3/5 — Ads are too long! *2023-05-09, version 1.5.2* I started playing this game recently and really like it! However, I’m not liking ads that now run for 60 seconds, especially the ones for Royal Match. I don’t mind ads that you can close after 15 or 20 seconds, which several of the games I currently play have, but this is ridiculous. Even after paying for opting out of ads unless I’m getting a reward, I’m finding that I can’t always get back to the game without closing down and starting up the game again. I will miss playing, but not the never ending ads. ### 4/5 — Is 560 the Top Level?? *2023-05-06, version 1.5.2* It’s a rewarding and entertaining game that makes it an interesting distraction. I enjoy the challenge of meeting/ surpassing the goal. There are a lot of adverts which is annoying but it’s pretty standard for this kind of game. I’m currently on Level 560 but can’t go any higher despite meeting/ exceeding the points target. It’s pretty confusing as it’s very random to have this as the end game level. My best guess is that new levels need to be added. Either way I’m stumped. ### 4/5 — Waiting for updates *2023-04-29, version 1.5.2* Enjoyed the game but thought more levels would be added. Also, stated word length would be unrestricted but I have had several long words I could not play due to length blocked Loved the stimulation to my brain as we all know keeping your brain active is the key to a sharp mind. ### 4/5 — Good brain game *2023-04-27, version 1.5.2* Love this word game but, just like another reviewer, I cannot progress beyond level 560. May have to delete this app and find another word based game. ### 4/5 — Great game, one query though *2023-04-23, version 1.5.2* Absolutely love the game but are there really only 560 ‘games’ as completed game 560 repeatedly but cannot progress any further? ### 3/5 — The game is kinda fun… *2023-04-17, version 1.5.2* … but you have to endure an OBSCENE number of LONG ads. If I stop for anything, I have to watch another ad to restart. If an ad plays out and the phone goes to standby before I can X it out, I have to watch another ad. What kind of nonsense is that?? I know the developer has to pay his bills but damn… The solitaire tri peaks ad will sit there all day long until you play the setup in the ad. I will not be manipulated into paying for ad-free only to have to still see ads to get the bonuses as I’m seeing in the other comments. I’m deleting the app from my phone and my iPad. As much as I enjoy the game, I’d rather play something with less interruptions. ### 3/5 — Ads won’t quit! *2023-04-16, version 1.5.2* I LOVE this game, but ads are way to many. You get a good start, and ads just keep interrupting! I believe this game really offers a good brain challenge and would be worth playing, but I don want that much ad frustration in my game play time. ### 2/5 — Paid for no ads *2023-04-09, version 1.5.2* Paid for no adds and still getting adds. Fun game but ads are annoying, paid but see no change. Bummer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Issue *2025-05-25, version 1.5.3* The game will not open. Stays on the “Loading” screen forever. Live the game though when I used to be able to play it. ### 1/5 — Not operational on iPhone 14 *2024-10-25, version 1.5.3* Game won’t open. Stays in loading stage for far way too long ### 1/5 — Stopped loading *2024-06-01, version 1.5.3* Game was great and then several months ago it simply stopped loading. It has never loaded since so one star because I cannot open it to lpay it!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-06, version 1.5.3* Just sits there loading ### 1/5 — Will not load *2023-10-01, version 1.5.3* I have enjoyed this game for months and find it stimulating. However today the screen is frozen where it says LOADING. I tried deleting and reinstalling but it is exactly the same. Very disappointed 🙁 ### 1/5 — Paying for no adds didn’t change a thing *2023-05-12, version 1.5.2* What a rip off, I paid 7.99 for no adds and it changed NOTHING. Every level I get adds still. I’d like a refund ### 1/5 — Upgrade to no ads?? *2023-05-02, version 1.5.2* Paid 4.99 for no ads! Did no good??! Why am I standing ll having to watch all these videos that I don’t want to see?? Help me give a better review!! ### 1/5 — Way too many ads! *2023-05-01, version 1.5.2* You are greedy and have way too many ads. A few less ads and people may keep this longer! ### 1/5 — Level *2023-04-19, version 1.5.2* It only goes up to level 560 then it’s all done? ### 1/5 — Review of this game. *2023-04-07, version 1.5.2* The game isn’t that bad, but the ads are way to long ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yeah *2025-08-03, version 1.5.3* Okay ### 5/5 — Addictive *2023-04-01, version 1.5.2* 😍😍😍 ### 5/5 — Words mahong *2023-03-30, version 1.5.2* This is a very interesting game I like that there is time to think plan and find words with many letters Unfortunately the game keeps freezing and the only way I can play again is to reboot my device However it is well worth the effort ### 5/5 — Like it *2023-03-24, version 1.5.2* Like it ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-03-03, version 1.5.2* I really like this game. ### 5/5 — Words mahjong *2023-02-21, version 1.5.2* I’ve have downloaded this game several times it loads but won’t open past the agreements for the privacy page ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-02-19, version 1.5.2* I’m really enjoying this game. I have no problem paying the purchase price, the people creating these apps have got to get paid. Really pleased to have found a decent word game since the owners of Scrabble have absolutely ruined that game. ### 5/5 — Game *2023-01-23, version 1.5.1* I seem to be at end of game. Are there additional levels? ### 5/5 — Purchase of no ads- still getting ads *2023-01-15* Hi, I love this app so I purchased no apps for 4.99 because there was an ad every couple of minutes. While the ad frequency has declined I still get one between every 5-10 minutes. I feel like there should be none . **Developer response:** Hello! We would really like to see if there is an issue with the game. Do these ads appear after you get a chest or just randomly during play? Your answer will really help us. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2023-01-08, version 1.5.1* This is a great game for dusting off the cobwebs, better than a crossword because you’re not limited to finding one particular word. Adverts can be annoying I’d be willing to pay if there was an ads free option --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
