Love LOVE IT
Awful and Insane Pricing
They want $4.99 a week for a subscription to this app. That’s $260 a year to play word search games. What drugs are they on that makes them think that’s reasonable? It should be criminal to overcharge that much for a service.
Great app, but annoying adverts.
That was great to word search one puzzle at a time. There’s one thing that I’m not happy about: the lack of ad removal purchase by annoying adverts. When you can, please make it available. I appreciate that.
Tooooooo many ads many of which are wasaaayyyyytoo long!
Love the play just not the disruptions
Annoying Inbetween Mini Games
I like app the random unrelated unskippable mini games/ads in between each word search is so annoying. You’re forced to play a mini game and then it’ll ask you to donwnload another app. The mini games/ads are like those you’d see in a YouTube ad. I want word searches not random unskippable ads.
Game apps download
My name is Kira Hooyer and I just wanted to let you know that I can’t download any game apps on my phone because it’s blocked and I want to get it back.
Irritated
I’ve been playing this game for a month. Now all of a sudden there is a letter missing from 2 different puzzles, and neither will take the word “GABON”. It’s irritating to play through a whole section and not be able to earn all of your stars
Still has bugs
I like this app a lot BUT it doesn’t display correctly if you have zoom on for display causing the top row to be missing. Sometimes the ads push the top row up. Very annoying. Same problem on iPad version
Word game
While the idea is great, it’s too easy. Mostly annoying ads after each grid. Too tedious waiting for game to resume.chair sitter
Missing
Some of the words are missing one letter
Love this app!!
I love searching for words everyday and it keeps me busy!
Makes you think you have a virus
When you play this game, it keeps popping up your browser that you have a virus. I deleted the app. I will never re-download it. not safe for a seniors.
Best Word Search
Probably one of the best word search puzzles I’ve played & I would pay to get rid of the ads
Short play time
Ads are longer than the play time.
Go Nuts word search problem
There is a blank space in the Puzzle. To solve one word it will not work because of the space before it?
Ads
I just love this game and have it on my iPad and iPhone I can play for hours which I used to. But recently every time you finish one game you have to sit through a minute of ads. It used to not be like that. I’ve been playing for years now I just play for 3 minutes and have to sit through 6 ads. I’m so disappointed. Please take the time to read our reviews and lessen the amount of ads. As much as I love this game I’m going to be forced to stop playing it as I don’t have the patience to sit through so many long ads. Please fix this soon
Mcfee Norton forcefully open my browser
I’m playing the game and the browser opens saying it’s scanning my phone. This should not be happening at all. Used to love this game but this is just messed up. Deleting..
Annoying ads
I love this game! It is a lot of fun. However there are a few ads that pop up that are annoying. The ads seem to freeze my screen. I cannot skip or get out of it. I either have to press “ learn more or shop now. Sometimes something else “. It is sometimes still there after I play another game and go back to Word Crossy. Do I need to get a different game tp play? Why doesn’t the ad have an “X” to press when the ad is done? P.j.sss
Unable to finish
I downloaded this game and then deleted it because it would nt complete some words that had to cross over another.. No fun to play if you cannot finish!
Ads Are Ridiculous!
Clearly, the developer prefers the ad revenue to offering a fee for an ad-free game. The ads are obtrusive, obnoxious, take longer to run through than to complete a word search puzzle. You cannot stop them from running through their programs. And you’d never choose to download, which is why they’re camping on here, for exposure. I would gladly pay a fee for ad-free, as this is a nice, challenging game. That’s one reason for 3 *s. They also don’t annoy you with kitschy comic elements and competitions for foolish prizes. If you hate 3 minute ads every 2 1-minute games, don’t get this one. If there were no ads, I’d give this 5*s. I’ve downloaded others now, and will play those, instead.
This game is...
Sooo cool
Words not staying highlighted
Not sure what’s happening with this app now. Never had a problem before and always enjoyed playing it. However, now after finding a word and highlighting it, it does not stay marked as having found it. This is happening so much that I rarely open the app anymore. It’s very annoying! Plus the way it jumps from the game to the screen with ads. Hopefully it will get fixed.
Could be better
I love the puzzles themselves. What I don’t love is that it likes to freeze a lot. I will try to close and reopen the app for it to still be frozen. If that could be fixed this app would be even better.
Ads!!
Love this word search app, but in the last few days the Ads have been too much! It’s ok to have an Ad at the bottom of the screen, but now after every puzzle is a full page, animated and noisy game Ad that lasts for 30 seconds - that’s too much!
Ads Sometimes Lockup.
The game is great, however the ads sometimes lockup preventing me from playing the game. I have to reboot my iPad to correct the problem. Now that is annoying.
Super Awesome
This game is GREAT! Whenever I am waiting for something I play this for not a lot of time and time goes by so fast!!!! Please download it. Ignore the overall review for the app which is 4.5 think of it as 5.0!!!!!! #Wordsearchforlife
Font Size Update Too Small
The recent update to the font size makes it too difficult to read and user is unable to adjust it. Disappointed since I’ve used this app for years.
Great game with one opportunity
I’ve enjoyed playing this game and was very happy when (finally) more games were released. My challenge is the placement of ads which covers up the quick play option. This should be corrected.
Good game ANNOYING ads
Why don’t you guys have an option to purchase the game and eliminate ads?
Help
I don’t understand the rules .I get stars in a certain category and then they disappear! How can I understand?
😀
Great game. No problems.
Great idea
Live this game but screen freezes with the many ads that pop up. Too bad because It is fun and fast.
Challenge yourself
It’s fun to challenge yourself to be faster. way to waste some time
Too Many Ads
Even with receptiveness of words in the categories, I still enjoyed playing. I use this game to tire my mind. Recently though I noticed the explosion of ads. I get its a free app so there will be ads, after every time I finish a puzzle is excessive. The puzzles are to short and quick, the ratio of ads is annoying. Looking for a different app.
Fun game however
I keep coming across puzzles with blank spaces and search can’t be completed although the full word is there. Fix it
Go nuts
Fix Gabon plz
DISCLAIMER: this app has a lot of ads and use the same words over and over
I LOVED this game... at first though a couple moths later they take away your time and give you MORE AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE adds AND they are using the same words over and over and over and over again it’s JUST SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING I hate this app at this point I give one star you should be warned this game is horrible
Good game, until latest ads. Don't bother.
Liked this game. Played it a lot. Going to delete if this current set of ads is not removed. Sept 26/17
Removing app
I am removing this app because you can not turn off the sound for ads.
Annoying ads make it hard to use the app
After every game an ad pops up, and you can’t X it until it shows you the whole thing. Very annoying, especially for a kid.
Awesome app
This is an awesome game for people who like word searches. But I don’t like word searches but when I played this game I stared to love word searches!!!!!
Game deleted due to ads
Asinine. Keep your commercials.
Word search
Good game but wish there wasn't an add after each game.
Annoying Ads
Love to play the quick search while waiting for an appointment. I have the typical sounds shut off so as not to disturb others nearby. Recent ads have loud annoying sounds that can’t be shut off & lock up my screen so I can’t play. I hate this change!!! Had to shut off my phone to get it to stop.
Too many ads. Is there an ad free version?
I like this game but there are way too many ads for other games. At times it’s hard to determine how to get out of the Ad and return to word search. Frustrated by the annoying and numerous ads when I would just like to play the game
Me and Auntie and family 😌
Awesome fun great.Realy good game it’s cool.Its so fun to learn!
Annoying ads, strange chirping sound
There’s a lot of promise to the app, but the chirping sound and inability to disable the disruptive ads is just too much.
Good but too many ads
I like this game, but does there absolutely positively need to be an ad after each time I complete a puzzle? Even if I completed it in 30 seconds?
Freezes
This is the second time that I hit the ad at the bottom and you can’t get it to go back to the game. I had to delete and replace it. Won’t happen again.
WAY TO MANY ADVERTISEMENTS
Hi developers! This game is awesome for what it is intended to do. But the advertisements is OUT OF CONTROL. Please cut it down just a little bit. PLEASE! Having to watch an advertisement after every completed search. ANNOYING! Please Stop taking the fun from the game just for a little bit extra advertisement dollars. Thanks for hearing my rant!
