Well, its been a couple of weeks and your app still won't complete the loading process so I can use the app. I really really miss playing. There isn't another crypto game that compares! I use pixel phone and am wondering if there's a fix? I REALLY HAVE ENJOYED THIS APP! until yesterday it quit. all I get is the wood grained background. Nothing else. I have checked for updates, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted several times! very disappointed!

You can't be serious. Ads before, after, AND during rounds? This can't be real life. Burny, I spent $5 on a pack of "hints" (just as I spent $5 on a pack of keys for Colorwood sort - totally worth it!) before I realized there was no paid ad-free version. Burny, I demand a refund of my $5, or take my $5 and give me the ad-free version. This game is literally unplayable otherwise. The ads force you into Google Play and crash the game frequently. The fact you'd lock me out of ad-free is diabolical.

I loved this game. I have brain fog due to all the medications I am on and this game helped with my focus. there are ads after each puzzle which was fine. But now they have added an ad break and if you're almost done with the puzzle you still have one at the end of it. ridiculous! I am now uninstalling the game and searching for another.

This game would be great, but all the ads ruin it. Before and after each level and "ad breaks" in the middle. The ads also freeze, and you have to restart losing your progress if you're playing a level. Now, when the ads pop up, they sometimes automatically install onto your device. Deleting this game for that reason alone.

I enjoyed the game before latest update. watching a commercial before/after each puzzle was fine/reasonable. However, with the new changes, commercials interrupt your puzzle playes every 5 minutes. Every time I just get into a groove..."Add Break" and 2 minute long add plays. There is an option to pay for no adds at $2.99 for 7 days. However, I do not think this game is worth $155 a year. I find the "add breaks" popping up just as I get into the puzzle is too frustrating/annoying for me.

Too many ads! It was bad enough that there were ads at the end of every level, at the beginning of some other levels, when you load the 1st level of the day, if you mess up, if you run out of hints, but today, there are now "ad breaks" in the middle of levels! There were two breaks in one level in addition to the one before and after! Let me know when the adpocolypse ends.

Ads now midgame. I'm at level 450. Ruins concentration. Nasty explicit ads!! Ads we're ok in beginning. Also, some of the ads are extremely inappropriate and I don't want to be subjected to them. For instance, frequent ad for a male hair growth miracle that men would like for other reasons as well...the ad is very explicit. I just quit the game and restart to avoid the ad. Great game otherwise. Appropriate difficulty. Some facts that don't hold-up to checking for veracity.

I used to rate this game a 5☆ but they are now putting ads in the middle of a level. I've played 745 levels, daily puzzles, and special events. This past week has been frustrating with all the "ads breaks". They only let you cancel ads for a week for a price. I expect ads but now they're doubled and I'm done. Uninstalling today. There are plenty of other games.

I've been playing and loving this game for over a month. But recently they started ad breaks the interrupt the game play rather than just the ads they already had before and after each level. Now I spend more time watching ads then actually playing the game. Hoping they fix, but will be deleting if they don't.

I have been playing this game every night before bed for a long time. it was my favorite way to relax. The music and tap of the tiles is soothing. Im rating it 3 stars because they just started playing ads mid level. One after each level was already excessive, but I was willing to watch them because I loved the game. When a game plays ads mid level, it's a deal breaker for me. Sadly uninstalling.

The forced "ad breaks" in the middle of each puzzle completely ruin this app for me. I always end up failing longer puzzles because I forget my train of thought by the time all the stupid 30 second ads end. No wonder the devs have to partner with all those sketchy "earn gift cards by playing games on your phone" apps just to gain and retain users.

Ok I really love this game but lets be real people only read the negative reviews to get the truth! I'm giving this app 1 star because I hate the "ad break" In the middle of a puzzle! I don't need to see an app in the middle of a puzzle. And I don't want to see one just to read what the puzzle just said! I do like that sometimes the puzzle read has a little more info about the solved puzzle. Like when they explained the jason statue at the bottom of a lake in Minnesota.

This is not really a game but more of an ad-viewing ap. Ads to start a level, ads right in the middle of a level (no thanks, 0 % chance we are doing that, the audacity - uninstalling), ads banner at the bottom of the screen. Multiple ads per ad break and many clicks to get through each ad. If you love 80% ad / 20% gameplay then go for it. +1 star for an enjoyable groovy music-track.

Ads ads ads An ad at the bottom of the screen. An ad that plays before every board. An ad that plays after every board. An "Ad Break"in the middle of EVERY BOARD. When I spend 75% of my time on this game, watching ads, you have failed as a developer, and you're greedy. The cryptograms are enjoyable but, all the ads take away from actually playing the game. You're losing all future ad revenue from me, I'm uninstalling the game.

Way, way, way too many ads. I love cryptograms, and I have a couple of crypto apps installed already. This one looked interesting, so I thought I'd give it a try. Every move you make is going to start with an ad. These are not simple 5-second skippable ads, they are 30 seconds or more long. You can hit the x in the corner five times, each time it will send you to the game website. And there are some very questionable ads, as well. Very, very frustrating and not very challenging.

I paid for your ridiculous ads to go away. I bought a ton of tokens. When they are done so am I. I just played 19 very long puzzles. I was on my 20th to get my 1-3 bonus points. I had about 3 words to go, and I started before midnight. I finished the game about maybe 5 minutes after midnight and the counter started over. And now the wording of the puzzles doesn't even make any sense half the time. Don't waste your time with this game. There are plenty of other crypto games to play.

Way too many ads (right now there are at least 3-5 ads per level and more if you need hints or second chances). Ad-free is ridiculously priced at $3/week. Also, the limited events like the detective puzzles and the mythology puzzles were my favorite part of the game, but ever since I failed to complete the mythology puzzles within the 7 days they were available, I haven't seen anymore limited-time puzzles like that. Bottom-line: reduce ads and bring back limited-time puzzles.

Fun in itself but silly amount of ads, and for the most part that's the hardest part of the game. Not sure why but at lvl 589 I've got no more 'mystery' levels (symbols instead of numbers) and no story chapters, which leaves me with only normal and 'hard' levels which in no way is worth it or very 'hard' either at that. Barely would be worth it for a free game with a third of the ads, and certainly not for what it actually is, sorry.

Too many ads. I get an ad after each level, and am before each level. I love the game, but the ads are on overdrive!!! Update: The ads are worse now. They interrupt the game with about 2-4 ads. I now miss the ads between games. I've lowered my rating from 2 stars to one. I'm not happy with this game. I will update if anything changes.

UI is beautiful & user-friendly. The game's not too easy, or too hard, exercises the brain cells, & encourages the user to play for hours on end. The quotes & trivia are fun & fascinating. However, the ads used to be reasonable, until the "ad breaks" started to interrupt gameplay (reduced rating for that alone & it's now my signal to stop playing), frequently run out of original levels to play, frequent repetition of puzzles, huge drain on cell's battery, & heats up cell phone.
