Word Life - Crossword puzzle 4+

Mostly good

While I do enjoy playing the game, the grammar challenges are quite annoying as it uses American English grammar, instead of a mix of English and American grammar. This means that when you answer correctly in English, it marks you as incorrect as it is based on American.
It would be far better for the dictionary to be universal. In particular, the use of the words “farther” and “further”. In English, we use “further” rather than “farther”…
And also, we use the letter “u” in words such as “colour” and other similarly spelled words.
I paid for the adverts to be removed, but still get pop ups of “offers” for tiles, bees, or whatever, which is annoying.
However, I appreciate the word bonus rainbows now not interrupting puzzles when you reach 20 bonus words…

45 Second Ads! Arrrgh!!

If you enjoy your Apps to be of the 45 second's variety then this is the app for you. None of those pesky quick 15-20 second ads or standard 30 second delays here, no sirree! A good old full blooded saga of an advert awaits you. So, if you don't normally get the time to enjoy some of those old favourite distractions such as watch paint dry, watch the grass grow or read war & peace then boy you're in luck! This feast of lengthy ads will be an absolute dream! Enjoy!

Update: So the developers posted a response to my review. It would perhaps mean a little more if it weren’t the same pre-scripted response that goes to everyone that has this gripe. It means you are not really listening. We accept the free versions need ads but seriously… 45 SECONDS? & so many! Oh, and for your information I HAVE purchased the so called no ads option! Thanks again for you developer no-response. Oh, and one last thing. Let’s have english spelling for a UK & rest of the world version. Your app is teaching the kids of the non-American world (of which it may surprise you to learn is quite vast) how to spell incorrectly… cheers

Developer Response ,

We are sorry for this, but to continue work on this free game we need revenue from Ads. If you don't want to see the Ads, you can purchase the No-ads pack. Thanks for your understanding and your feedback :)

Designed for American Players

I’m really enjoying this game. I like the variety, and love the grammar sections. My only complaint is that the questions in the ‘Spin the Wheel quiz’ and the grammar and trivia quizzes are aimed at North American players. In British English, trouser suit is correct. I’m British English and feel like a foreigner; at a disadvantage. It would be good if you had a British English option, or make the questions less American specific. There are also some irritating inconsistencies; for example contractions such as bro are allowed, but other English words are rejected. I think you could do with a British member or two on your development team, to widen your appeal, or remove the America specific questions, particularly about the television channels.
I cannot work out how the scoring works; it’s a mystery to me.
I do pretty well though, by guessing from the given letters. It’s good for the concentration.
