Wordlook - Word Puzzle Games

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.

The game is fun but you will be playing in the middle of a round and an ad will pop up. Then you will exit out of the ad and it still takes you to the App Store. Then you hit back and you are still at the App Store. Once you get back to the game the same ad will pop up or a new one and you will press the x and it will take you right back to the App Store. The only reason I’m giving a review is because I figured the game kept taking me to the App Store I might as well give them a review. I understand free games have ads but other games don’t have ads pop up in the middle of a round and once you exit the ad it should take you back to the game not the App Store. The ads are absolutely annoying and take away from the game. All the games I have on my phone are free games and this is the only one that has been so annoying with ads that I’m going to delete the game. I have also never given a game a review but this ad to game ratio is not good.

This is a really fun, addictive game. I love how you have limited guesses, and it raises the stakes some, which makes you have to choose very wisely at times. However, the reason I cannot give this five stars is because of the ad noise and interruption of other music. I can turn off all sounds in game settings, but I STILL get ad noise regardless, which is especially annoying when I’m playing music off a speaker from my phone. Even when I have my phone volume off, the speaker will still play the ad noise. In addition to this, some of the ads will actually turn my music off while they play! Some of the ads have the option to mute, but many do not. Plus, you still have to actively mute if they have the option. Could you fix this? Please and thank you. Edited: Hi developer and thank you for your response. I have contacted through game, and the response was there is currently no option to mute ads, and that I would have to turn my device volume down to avoid the ad sounds. Well, that doesn’t help when I’m trying to listen to music -.- plus, on regular game play, the sound is quite soothing and then it’s interrupted by this loud ad noise so it is not very convenient when I’m playing at bedtime when I have free time and want to relax to a nice sound. I was wanting to keep this app cuz it’s a cool idea. I’d buy the app or an option for a couple bucks if it meant no ads forever... only a month free when I’m a casual player is meh, but I do appreciate there is an option at least.
