Wordlook for Pc

About ten minutes of playing had me watching an ad in between every one or two puzzles. The game itself is ok, maybe 3 stars. October 26 Update: I gave this another try. The game itself is more like 4 stars. It could be a little snappier (faster animations, particularly after completing a level) for my taste but it’s not too bad. I still stand by my rating of 2 stars for the app because of the frequency of the full screen ads and how each ad has two “X” buttons to get back to the game. I know people who play this in airplane mode to be able to enjoy the app uninterrupted. It has fewer ads in the first five minutes or so before increasing to the point of being in between each and every puzzle. This is really unfortunate during easier puzzles when the ads take up more than 50% of my time with the app. It’s like a plate of really good food being taken away for 10-20 seconds before each and every bite or drink of water. It doesn’t matter how good the food is, I wouldn’t have an enjoyable meal and couldn’t recommend that restaurant to other people, especially when similar restaurants (word solving apps) have fewer interrupting ads. I wouldn’t mind constant banner ads and the occasional full screen ad, especially if I knew when it would happen, maybe once every 10 minutes or 10 puzzles.

This is like playing the game show Lingo with Chuck Woolery! Really addicting. Fun and challenging. Having said that, there’s these ads. There are quite a few of them. I understand that the ads keep the game free. I didn’t spend a dime and I love it, but in order to get five stars, the ads need to be tweaked. Most you can opt out of after a few second. Really not bad. The two types that kill me are as follows (less annoying first). I watch this ad. It gives me an X at its time and a hit it. Then I’m made to watch another 5 seconds and X out a second time. Just don’t give me the option to X out so soon and don’t make me X out twice. Last, some of the ads will silence my music. I have app sound and music turned off so I usually just have to wait silently for the ad to finish. Too many times, upon finishing, it has disabled my music(Pandora), and I have to swap over and restart my music. When I switch back to the game I then get another pop up ad before I can play again. That is incredibly frustrating. If those can be fixed somehow I would gladly rerate at 5 stars.

The ads are not bad in the beginning but as you reach higher levels, they become ridiculous! I’ve had a 30 second ad sometimes after every word solved. On three occasions I had about a one minute ad! What!?! I already know the answer...”we’re sorry but the ads allow us to keep free play, and let me take your money often for no ads!” But probably worst of all...there is a free coin option ...you have to listen to another ad to earn coins (to use for pricey hints). A good third of the time, it doesn’t give the coins. You promised coins if I watch the ad!!!! That’s just fraudulent. I’ve contacted the developer and they don’t know the answer, of course! New phone and never have this problem with the many other games. Such a fun game, but extremely annoying. I’m about to go look for a different word game and delete this one!! You have way too much of the same in your reviews and you are not listening. That’s going to hurt you down the line. And check your dictionary, I’ve played words you reject and confirmed they are real words.

I loved this game at first. Even with the repeating, super-long ads, it was fun to play. I am on level 321, and every now and then a word I need to solve for is an unheard of word that I would swear has not been used by those who speak American English in the last 100 years. Ridiculous. Add to that the frequent times I’m told a word I played is not a viable word, it just doesn’t make sense and gets to be more frustrating than fun. I get the sense that perhaps the source for words guessed vs words to solve for are not the same. Please find a different source with more words that are current in the language of the person playing the game. Otherwise it looks like you will lose your fan base for this game.
