Wordscapes

“Now it's nothing but glitches, crashes, and extremely slow loading times.”

“The game is basically unplayable currently because it crashes every few words or freezes up when trying to make a word, then crashes.”

“My screen freezes or goes black or I get kicked out completely and it's becoming more frequent.”

“The gameplay is overwhelmed by the number of ads; specifically, trying to close an ad will launch a browser window or the application (e.g. Amazon, Aliexpress), even when trying to exit the application.”

“The ads are longer than the gameplay, and most of them I end up having to close out of the game and come back in because there's no way to hit next after the ad is over.”

“Now what do we have, mini ads in the middle of a round, totally disrupting the gameplay.”

“Why did you feel the need to add new graphics to every puzzle? The square that rotates after every puzzle and the new way that the letters pop out during a puzzle are very distracting and cause problems for people like me who have focal epilepsy, so I am unable to play now.”

“Their latest graphics enhancement is at best annoying to some, but also a real health issue to those who are neurodivergent.”

“Graphics include flashing, exploding screens of different light features, twinkling around the word wheel, and circles around the actual letters.”

“It crashes every music app and I hate it, so if anybody has a workaround I'd really like to know because this is absolutely ridiculous!”

“Why do these apps have ads that cut off my music and ads that open up a third-party app or website?”

“Worst part is that you can't turn the sound off on ads and have that preference carry over to the next session of ads, so listening to music on a Bluetooth speaker gets interrupted every time.”

“I couldn't finish quests because they required you to message.”

“Not only is the amount of ads atrocious, but you can't even play the levels due to all the minigame or side quest pop-ups.”

“Once-great app about mystery words and pretty pictures, now ruined by 1,000 features nobody asked for in an endless quest for your money.”

“The adverts waiting at the end of every game was just about manageable but putting them into gameplay every 75 seconds is not funny.”

“Over time, they've introduced other game modes focused on grinding for things like coins, hearts, butterflies, etc., as well as generally designing toward motivation of microtransactions and ad viewing.”

“Pity, as this was a harmless and amusing distraction before it turned into unskippable tedious crapvertising.”

“But the levels were getting tedious, the words were inconsistent (2 words forcibly mashed into a compound word for example, and slang words that just kind of don't belong), but worst of all are these stupid "coffee breaks" they just added.”

“The number of ads has definitely decreased phone performance.”
