    The game is heavily criticized for its excessive, intrusive, and often unskippable ads that disrupt gameplay and cause crashes, overheating, and lag. Many players report spending more time watching ads than playing, with ads appearing after every turn and even during puzzles, leading to frustration and uninstallation. The only removal option is an expensive subscription rather than a one-time purchase, which further frustrates users.

    • “I pay for VIP which is only £4.79 a month, unlimited moves, unlimited games and no ads unless you want to watch some for some tips if you get stuck.”
    • “I chose to pay £24.99 which gives you a year of no ads, 500 free points a week, plus many other bonuses, which is amazing value - less than 50p a week for continuous challenges and fun!”
    • “I pay for no ads which is well worth it.”
    • “You literally spend more time in forced ads than gameplay. Back to the deleted section this app goes again.”
    • “It's a real pity, I really thought this game was fun, I don't even mind it having advertisements, but the amount of advertisements is excessive, each time you have a turn which is 40 seconds there's an ad, so you're at least seeing one ad per minute, alongside the banners, each time you go back to the lobby while waiting for the other person to have their turn, more ads. The amount of time you're watching ads exceeds gameplay, and it's a real pity.”
    • “The only way to get rid of ads is to subscribe, so giving 1 star, developers are making back end money on ads. The game is literally unplayable due to the number of ads and the fact that the non-ad upgrade is a subscription is ridiculous.”
  • stability

    239 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    1% positive mentions, 1% neutral mentions, 98% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent and severe stability issues, including constant freezes, crashes, and glitches, often caused or exacerbated by excessive ads. These interruptions force frequent restarts, disrupt gameplay, and diminish the overall user experience, making the app frustrating and sometimes nearly unplayable despite its fun concept.

    • “So far I love this game, not ad crazy, no freezes.”
    • “No glitches.”
    • “The only thing that bugs me is the glitches, e.g., the freezing and the long match loading. Please try to iron out these issues, as sometimes they can cost you a match unfairly.”
    • “The app constantly closes during games, most of the options don't work and the load time is painfully slow. There are no good things that I can say about it and that is unfortunate because I would love to have the ability to actually play the game on the app without getting frustrated by the ridiculous glitches.”
    • “The game constantly freezes or will just completely close itself so much you can't even make it through a whole round without it glitching.”
    • “The game continually locks up, freezes and doesn't work. You have to exit and reenter. Lots of bugs in the game also ads that pop up covering the game board, there's no way to close them and you have to close the game and reboot it. It is a very irritating experience.”
  • gameplay

    74 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 69% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The gameplay itself is generally enjoyable, with solid mechanics and a fun concept, but it is heavily overshadowed by an excessive number of intrusive ads that interrupt and slow down the experience, often causing crashes, lag, and battery drain. This ad overload frustrates users and breaks the game’s flow, making the actual playtime significantly shorter than expected. Some players also desire more solo and untimed modes for a more relaxed experience.

    • “The gameplay and puzzles are fine.”
    • “I enjoy the turn-based gameplay, and that there are options to play while you wait.”
    • “The gameplay is fun.”
    • “There is an ad between turns, ads between almost every action, ads that interrupt gameplay, and ads you can choose to watch for rewards.”
    • “This game advertised itself as a calm single player experience but upon playing it is a quick realization that the single player dailies (which are the only true single player experience) are completely different than the advertised gameplay, with the only other two options early on being a mode against bots and a PvP mode, both of which are massively unbalanced towards just waiting and doing little to nothing until you can steal your opponent's work.”
    • “It's slow, constantly crashing, lags (so badly it affects gameplay and puts letters in the wrong spot which is a big issue when you play on a timer), drains battery crazy fast, and makes my phone very hot.”
  • music

    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    Users find the game’s ads frequently interrupt and stop their personal music, causing frustration and prompting some to uninstall. While the game offers enjoyable music and cultural connections, many request an option to prevent ads from overriding or silencing their own audio.

    • “When I'm playing on the train, with music in my headphones, and a loud ad that I can't stop comes screaming in my ears, that's when I uninstall the game.”
    • “The amount of ads won't even let you listen to your music.”
    • “It wouldn't be so bad if all the freaking ads didn't keep turning off my music and then not turning it back on again when done.”
  • graphics

    • “Nice, good, better, funny, good for children.”
