There’s so much ads and stuff. It gets annoying and yeah. And it’s like just boring sometimes not all the time though.👍 ;) ### 4/5 — Very Fun! *2024-06-01* When I’m waiting for my other games to process, I hop onto here and do some puzzles. Ads are always annoying, but they don’t take away from the fun really. Plus, I love that it’s Halloween themed! Lots of puzzles and themes, but they do repeat words pretty often. Nonetheless it’s a fun way to pass the time! ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2023-06-11* It’s ok but they need to add more scary ones and make it harder please game makers read this and change some things ### 4/5 — Really good!!! But one problem *2022-10-25, version 2.20.5* So it’s actually almost Halloween, it’s oct 24 2022. And I’m only 7 years old and I love word searches so much!!!!!! But… there is one problem it’s just hard for be to read some of the words. That’s the only problem ### 2/5 — Ad placement *2022-08-09* This would be 5 stars but I hate that the ad is right in the middle of the screen when your playing. It kinda ruins the Halloween feel of the game and you can’t even get rid of it when you press the X ### 2/5 — It’s kind of fun but you can’t advance *2020-10-05* You get stuck on the one page you’ve finished. The bottom corner of the “page” flips up part way, but you can’t see the whole thing to actually play it. No matter what you do it won’t allow you to actually play. You have to get out, flip that app to get into it as new every time. **Developer response:** We're happy to say this has been fixed in our new update. Thanks for your review. ### 4/5 — Problem with ios 13 *2019-09-20* This can be a fun game but since i updated to ios 13, it wont allow you to easily progress from the old puzzle to a new puzzle. The page just folds up and sticks. Also, this is happening to the Santa word search. ### 4/5 — wordsearch *2012-11-11, version 2.12* this wordsearch is fun but the only thing i dont like is that they have the same words over and over again ### 5/5 — Lovee 😘 *2012-10-05, version 2.12* This is my favorite Halloween game! I always download it around Halloween to get me into the spirit 😌 ### 2/5 — Don't update! *2012-10-01* I used to love this game so much. Now I'm going to delete it because I updated and there are ads you have to close before starting each new puzzle. There were already ads in the puzzle page, get rid of the pop ups before moving to a new puzzle!!!! I hate this game now! Great move. ### 5/5 — Word search *2012-09-26, version 2.11* Great Halloween fun!!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2012-09-22, version 2.11* I think it's really fun!! ### 5/5 — Great *2012-05-12, version 2.11* Cool game with spooky music to get you into a Halloween mood! ### 5/5 — Deedeedeedee *2012-04-30, version 2.11* It's kind of fun and kind of hard. Well for me it is. Still it is fun ### 3/5 — Halloween wordsearch *2011-10-31* Very good everyone enjoys playing it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezes up *2020-10-02* Right after I am done with the game try to go to the next broad it won’t go it stay half flipped up 🤔🥺😢I like the game I wish I could have played more of it **Developer response:** We're aware of the problem and working on a fix.
