  “Falls short. This was fun at first before it quickly became very hard. I have to restart every level several times to even hope to pass it. There are ads all the time. Some levels have several ad breaks. I’m convinced the categories and words are picked by AI because they don’t make any sense. It’s disappointing because the concept is really cool, the execution just isn’t there.”

• Unfair, rigged or pay-to-win27 reviews · 9%

  “Very Challenging. Overall it’s very fun but they mostly are just trying to get money out of you to buy coins and what not. It’s almost impossible to pass the hard levels without coins. They add in locked sections that make it extremely difficult and half cards that you need to be able to stack but need to be in a specific order. Makes it stressful and games are supposed to be relaxing.”

• Too expensive23 reviews · 8%

  “just a cash grab to mine your personal data. this game is not random. the game gathers your personal data like when in the game you are more likely to watch ads. the cards are not randomized, they try to corner you into watching ads. there’s no coincidence that you just happen to fall short by a few moves every game”

• Pop-ups & rating requests18 reviews · 6%

  “Every update lost a star. When I first started playing this game, I loved it. Even paid for the ad-free version. It used to be a challenging word game with a simple, clean concept. Every update has made it progressively worse - more stupid popup challenges, more flashing graphics, more “side quests” that are just the same noise as every other game out there. The actual solitaire game at its core is very fun and interesting. But the neverending addition of ugly and unnecessary bells and whistles have made it unplayable. Deleting this and finding something new.”

  “Big frustrating letdown, don’t waste your time. This game was always kind of predatory with its coin economy, but the latest updates have made it completely unplayable. They secretly halved the ad rewards—you used to get 10 extra moves for watching an ad, but now they only give you 5. Meanwhile, buying extra steps costs a ridiculous 800 coins, which is impossible to earn naturally. To make it worse, they shove unskippable ads down your throat every 20 to 30 seconds, right in the middle of a level. Even if you pay for the "No Ads" package, it’s a total scam; it only removes forced ads, but you STILL have to watch them if you run out of moves or need a joker on the rigged levels. The game constantly freezes, lags, and loops ads until it crashes. The developers completely ruined a decent concept with pure, broken greed. Avoid this cash grab.”

• Missing features & requests16 reviews · 5%

  “Disappointing. I'm stuck on a level, because I ask for extra moves, and watch all of your ads, and then you tell me I can't have any more extra moves. So I have to restart completely, watch more of your ads, and have the same thing happen. I literally cannot play this game because there is no option to skip or move to an easier level. Your ads literally ruin the game at a certain point and it feels purposeful. Make it too hard to complete, so I have to watch a bunch of ads for you.”

  “Just some things!. Hello! This is a really enjoyable game. Despite the ads, which I understand keep the game free (and I’m fully aware of the ad free option)… my only gripe with the game is that… it doesn’t like automatically reshuffle non-flipped cards to make the game possible to win without the use of ads or spending real money on coins in order to purchase moves like the joker card or the one to undo a move. Sometimes I will cycle through every card in the deck, and will have to use moves to move my deck around and even then, sometimes it just doesn’t work. I think it would make the game more fun if it was possible to beat it without moves, but keeping the moves to help facilitate things. It’s already challenging, and selecting a category card already can’t be undone unless you have the moves or the coins. So I think if there was like… I don’t know, some mechanics that would shuffle unflipped cards (the ones in the deck and not in the deck) in order to make the level beatable? A couple of times I’ve cycled through the deck repeatedly. Now, this isn’t an issue but just a thought: maybe one move can be adding an extra slot to move cards around, and maybe in that slot you can no longer stack cards, but it would allow for the next card underneath to be flipped up.”

  “Add Game. You have to pay $10 in order to play. This game has adds in between games (add break) and after the game.”

  “Another scam Ad game.. Another scam game. Looks good on top. Interesting for a few games, then the game part fights back. Limited moves, flipping cards from deck takes 2 moves, not 1. Limited amounts of retry’s unless you watch more ads for other Scam Ad games. If you make a game that I can only play a couple times before I have to watch ads or wait a time limit to keep playing, I’m just not going to continue playing. Sad cause there is a good game idea here, scam execution.”

• Worse after an update5 reviews · 2%

  “I have had enough :(. I've played this game for a while and really enjoyed it because the concept itself and the way I learn new words is fun. However, the recent update has made it unplayable and I don't think I'll be using the app anymore, as sad as that makes me. The new "stack" feature is extremely hard to figure out and there's no option to have it re-explained (because the game also doesn't have an "information/help" option!!!). It's now pretty much impossible to pass the hard levels without spending coins which is not how any game should function. Also, the little emojis that now come up after you match a card are extremely irritating. I've tolerated the incessant ads and bizarre updates just because of how much I liked the game in itself, but it's now become unbearable. I've never written a review for a game before but I'm so disappointed I had to open up the app store and crash out. I hope they take feedback :,)”
