This app has permission that it does not need to. It keeps my phone from sleeping thus runs down the battery. It has location access and no volume buttons in the app. It's extremely annoying with too many ads. It's overbearing and way too interfering. I'm uninstalling. And it's hit or miss if you want to play your friends. My sister's phone wouldn't let us play but my daughter's would. I'm definitely uninstalling.

Love this game, but please move the double arrow "give you the answer" button to the other side. It's too close to the backspace. A lot of times, while hitting backspace, you inadvertently hit that button twice by accident, giving you the answer. Also, I see a lot of complaints about the ads. I work in business, so I understand. However, I would definitely pay $4.99 for the ad free version.

too many ads. Reply to developers: There is a difference between ads and excessive ads. If I have to see an ad after each guess, it interrupts game play and makes it no fun. If I find value in the game, I will put money to it. If the game irritates me with too many ads before I can see if I like it, I just delete the game. I also have to make sure I will play it enough to justify paying money for it. I'd hate to pay, then stop playing because I decide I don't like a game.

Many people talked about the ads. If they would make it so the ads only played after you finished a word, this might be tolerable. But when I'm in the midst of trying to concentrate on what the word could be and it pops to 2 ads, it is so annoying. I thought I would give this a try to see how bad the ads were. When you put a double ad in the middle of the game that each require closing twice don't expect people to enjoy the game. And yet I didn't get ads after the word... Uninstalling.

too many ads. In response to Lion Studios' reply: I don't have an issue with the ads in-between games. But when you have them between rounds AND after three guesses in the middle of your round, it gets to be excessive. I watch ads more often than I spend time playing your game. For this reason I have Uninstalled your game. So yes, I reiterate, too many ads. Downgrading my rating to one star.

Great game... BUT, an ad literally every move I make? Seriously?! It is beyond annoying. I enter a word, I get an ad. Another word, I get an ad. And when I get the correct word, I've been stuck watching a 60-90 second ad with the tiniest of "x's" to see/locate and move past the ad. I have never seen anything like this from a game app. It has made the game unplayable. If you want people to pay and be ad free, irritating players is NOT the way to accomplish that.

I like the game, but beware of the ads. More than once, I have watched an ad to get coins or switch bonus tasks and the app being advertised has been downloaded to my phone despite my hitting the X to close the ad. Nothing pops up to ask if I want to download an ad, and it happens when the ads are playable. This is predatory and should be illegal. The next time it happens, I'm deleting the app and reporting it to the play store.

TOO MANY ADS! I like the little games like Word Fever and Secret Word, but there are just too many ads. I get about 5 ads every round, and every time that I get onto the game, I am greeted with an ad. A few times, I have just gotten off an ad, and when I try to play a word. There is another word before I can even put 2 letters down! Please remove a few ads.

Love the game and usually don't mind ads during games, but the ads are excessive in this one. They seemed to come up after each guess, and exiting them after they were finished was very difficult. Especially if you use a small device such as a cell phone. A lot of times I ended up on the advertised page on accident (maybe that's intended so they make more money) and had a hard time getting back. It was more ads than game and so annoying that I am uninstalling it after trying to play 2 rounds.

I downloaded to earn money thru a 'get paid to play' app. this is the ONLY game I left installed on my phone to play even after I no longer receive anything for playing it. I thought it was hard at first and who could actually play this? But the more I played the easier & fun it got & it makes me feel super smart when I guess it on the 2nd try lol the only reason I didn't rate this 5 stars is bc of all the incessant ads!! It can't be that expensive to run there's no payouts & the ads ruin it!!

The amount of ads is absurd. The fact that you're gonna give me an ad in the middle of my guess is absolutely unbelievable. You could at least make it so the ads come after games instead of making me pause in the middle of one to watch a stupid ad. Deleted after a couple of rounds because I figured I would not enjoy this if it was mostly ad watching.

too many ads interrupt too often and on my budget phone it's almost unplayable and causes the app to bug slightly. I can't play without it redirecting me to the Google Play store even though I click the 'x', directly, once. when I exit Google Play store, the app acknowledged that I clicked the 'x' so why did it redirect me to the store anyway? Even though I said I wasn't interested? Ads are getting too crazy and making games unplayable.

Don't waste your time! The game is constantly freezing. Also, the number of ads is absurd! Reply to Lion Studios Plus: I have a difficult time believing that "user experiences are taken seriously"when the majority of the reviews are negativity regarding the ads. Occasional ads are understandable, but the ones here are ridiculous. Not to mention the number of times the app alone crashes. Seriously, nobody wants to watch such bologna.

For the wordle part, most of the time the word is such that it could be well beyond 6 words that work, so sometimes you have enough on try 2 and you just hope one of the many words it could be are the word. It really isn't fun to fail because there are to many correctly fitting options. Also the ads are just silly. Like 3-5 ads for every wordle you complete.

This game would be fun, if I could actually play a puzzle for more than 3 minutes without an ad popping up. I can't enjoy a game, if I'm constantly interrupted by so many pop-ups. Wordle, by itself, will spam event pop-ups at you the moment you open the game. I won't entertain the idea of paying for an ad-free version of the game, when I can just uninstall it and play something else.

I've never played a game that makes you watch ads while you're in the middle of a level (sometimes more than once, some ads 30 seconds long)! It's impossible to get into a flow and enjoy this. I was trying this out to earn points through the Fetch app but after a few minutes I'm uninstalling. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Ads often load with no way to bypass so you have to exit, reload and watch a whole new ad (that you may not be able to get past also). Every time you open the app, you'll be barraged by new modes of play, whether you're interested or not. Generally have to close 2-3 popups before getting to the main menu.

Used to be a fun game. I only really play it for the daily puzzles, but something changed over the last couple of months. The words didn't get harder, just trickier. It seems a deliberate attempt to try and get people to buy cheats, hints, and second chances. I get it, they are trying to make money, but I already paid for the full game. The NY Times version is superior. It actually wants to be challenging instead of tricky.

The ads are downright ridiculous. Was bad enough before, but now you get an ad after 2 guesses on a puzzle half the time and between puzzles. It used do ads only if you left the game and came back and between puzzles, which was a bit much. If you get a message that pops up, it forces another ad, even if you didn't leave the game. Also, some words are deliberately dumb, words nobody would ever use. Uninstalling now, all the greed from having way way to many ads leads to nobody playing, so no $$$

Four words: "The ads are horrendous". The amount of ads in this game is absolutely unacceptable and unbelievable. Listen I understand you need ads to make the game free, but you don't need so many to the point where you can't play it. It's reprehensible! I can't even play one level because and ad appears in the middle of the level. Terrible terrible terrible! Had to uninstall.
