Great Games Happen

PJ from CA
This game is great. Very relaxing and non threatening. Somewhat challenging but good workout for the ol’ noodle. Now let’s get to the heart of my review. The side game of word association is where it’s at. That little spin off game is so addicting. I can’t stop playing! Developers take note, that side game is a hit! Develop that into its own and you have a winner for sure. Call it Word Frenzy, take it, I won’t care if you use the name. It is the perfect word game. It’s so compelling and a good brain workout too. Just make more challenges, more rewards, and more competition with users. It’s a sure fire hit! I don’t even want to play the crossword puzzle game I originally downloaded it for.

I get anxious playing this game! Why? It is because while I am in the middle of a crossword, I’ll suddenly get a pop-up telling me that I’ve been entered into a Rocket Rush race tournament. There’s no way to decline participation in it and I’m upset that it forces me to play if I continue to try to finish the puzzle. Even if you exit out the pop-up, you are still entered into the race. What’s annoying too is that they sometimes give you more than 25 puzzles in order to complete the race. Who has that kind of time, especially when you have other demands or need to get to bed? These Rocket Rush races even pop up during the daily puzzle or while you’re trying to complete the daily challenge of completing four puzzles. The developers should change when these races pop up. They should NOT pop up during the daily puzzle or while you are trying to complete the daily challenge of four puzzles. It would be better to pop up after these have been completed. Also, there should be a way to decline participation in the race, as well as having a reasonable number of puzzles to complete during the race (10 or less is reasonable, NOT more than 25)! Because I don’t want to be a part of the race, I often just exit the game without even completing the puzzle, and I don’t come back until I know the race is over. Very frustrating!

Would have given a 5 star until it began scanning my iPad

I have enjoyed this crossword very much. Played it a lot. The ads weren’t obtrusive and came at the end of every puzzle. It was challenging enough to make it fun yet not so hard as to not be able to finish. Recently, however an ad, I think it’s an ad, pops up every time in the middle of working on a Crossword. It goes to a website and says it’s scanning my devices. I stop everything delete it, close down my iPad. Whether it’s actually scanning my device or at just trying to sell me something that does?? but it appears to actually be scanning my devices, with rolling numbers. I do not like that and I’m debating deleting the app as much as I like it. If it’s an ad separate from, the actual game this ad must be deleted, by the app. No one wants their device scanned without permission.. it can be dangerous.

Good Game, With One Issue

I’ve been playing this game for about a month, and I love it. The boards are fun and it is a good way to pass some time while engaging the mind. The primary issue I have is the ad that pops up and plays sound I’m while playing the board. It’s one thing to have the ads running at the top of the board, and after finishing the board, it is another thing to have other pop up ads with sound. It happens a couple times on the board. It is starting to get annoying.

Thank you for writing to us, and we're so sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. If you're bothered by audio ads, do note that you can close and stop the ad from playing as soon as it appears on the screen. Just tap on the cross button on the top-right corner. Also, if your game sound is switched off, it would stop audio ads as well.
