Word Search: Guess The Phrase! for Negative User Reviews
✓ FreezesGood game but keeps freezing when hitting solve or solved..Version: 1.3.0.1288
✓ BlackoutAlso having the same issue as TigerlilyOz. I didn’t even get to finish one word. The ad came on and then the screen goes black. Most frustrating - not just a one off, happens ever time I play. I play a number of your games and this is the only one it happens to..Version: 1.2.0
✓ LOVE 💗 BUT...Do LOVE THIS GAME VERY MUCH, however I would love to change the 3 ⭐️’s to 5 but.... the game has this weird glitch; THAT after EACH AND EVERY SINGLE AD the screen goes black and won’t come back??!! Until I refresh, which I HAVE TO DO EACH AND EVERY TIME!!!!! That’s crazy and extremely ANNOYING!!! Aside from this weird glitch it’s a truly GREAT GAME!!! Love this company have several of their games happy with all!!! Developers I do hope you can FIX this bump in the road!? Thank you!! I will change this rating the moment it’s fixed!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Personal data collectorWill force you to share personal data. You can't play the game if you don't accept. Also if you request from devs to delete personal data they have collected for you (as is your right) you can't play the game anymore. If you don't pay for the product, you are the product. It's obvious now what the devs are only interested in. They only care to collect and share your personal data..Version: 1.0.1
✓ DisappointedI loved this game but twice it has stuck on the same puzzle. The first time I wrote to support it was fixed. This has happened again and the answer is Lucknow India and the same puzzle comes up again every day and I can’t get past it. Ready to delete this game because every day for more than a week is enough!!!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ AdsAds on the bottom are distracting.Version: 1.3.1.1380
✓ OkayIt’s a decent game but there were a couple of levels with spelling mistakes which was very frustrating. Also, I’ve finished every puzzle yet didn’t unlock every achievement? Doesn’t make sense..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Word SearchWould be great if there was more cities and landmarks other than the ones you already have as it would be nice to try work out other places , and gee it uses so much battery time.....Version: 1.0.1
✓ Guess wordDoes not work on iPad have downloaded this game 3 times and each time cannot get further on the first puzzle get “The Lion Kin will not pick up the ‘G’ so if could give 0 stars would be too many I play your Solitaire Games no problem on my iPad Pro Can this be fixed for UK play?.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Word searchGetting rid of it, too many black screens, too frustrating. The game is great if it works. Going to look for another one similar.Version: 1.2.0
✓ I like the game itself but . . .I like the game itself. Fun and interesting puzzles. Even with the more obscure titles, I can usually guess correctly within the bonus limit. While there are advertising videos, they typically play between rounds; or in the middle of a round only when you’ve left the app for some reason. And the ads usually may be fast- forwarded (cut short) after a few seconds; you rarely have to sit through a 30 second ad. Three is a serious bug, though. More often than not after an ad plays, the screen goes dark instead of going back to the game. And when I say “more often than not” I mean it quite literally; more than half the time you won’t be returned to the next game after watching the ad. You have to close the app and reopen it; not that it’s too terrible a chore, but it does get quite annoying..Version: 1.1.0
✓ No escape if you can’t solveI had to use 90+ tries to get a name that was spelled in a convoluted way and there was no way to ask for a solve and face a penalty. I deleted because of this which is a shame because I enjoy Mobilityware apps in general but not this one. I was very high up in my level and was enjoying it until I ran across this problem..Version: 1.0.1
✓ FrustratingHey - I love this game and had a blast but breaking up with you as the app goes black every other game and the commercials and ads are maddening. I will be back and would happily pay to have the ads stop..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Game keeps freezingNot worth the effort in continuing. Real pity as it was interesting up until Famous couples. I tried this game on two devices and both froze..Version: 1.3.1.1380
✓ Love the gameBeing in my 80s, it really keeps my brain active, love the vast amount of different answers and themes, OK the ads can be frustrating, but seeing it is a free game, It is OK just enjoy, Cheers Flo G Thank goodness we have it back again after updates But now after updates, too much freezing, had to cancel and download again so after being on over 2200 games back to square one and sort of lost interest as puzzles do not seem so interesting, July 29th, after restarting this game and getting to to a good tally again, I am once again frustrated, with screen freezing and having to restart all over again, this time Unfortunately so frustrated have decided not to carry on with the game and will be deleting it, just cannot be bothered with it anymore, Flo G.Version: 1.3.0.1288
✓ WordphaseHi guys as I played,I enjoyed , I have no problem with the game being “american “ , my problem was that I got to game 8 and the game locked up solid, I turned off my I pad and then restarted, the game loaded ok and then as I started the game again it locked up, I deleted the game altogether and then after about 15 minutes reloaded the game and got to start the game and It locked up straight away, hope this helps because as I said I enjoyed the game.Version: 1.3.0.1288
✓ Answers have too much American biasLiked the idea but as you answer certain categories u can’t solve ,you can only keep trying to fill letters in ..Version: 1.0.1
✓ DisappointedMostly for Americans but still keeps the brain ticking over..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Developer Spelling Error!I’ve been playing this game for a week now and have found a spelling error. I am in the category “Famous U.S Cities” and the answer is obviously San Francisco, California. By move #2 I knew what the answer was. I tried 5+ times completing the puzzle until I started to lose my mind. The app kept saying my answer was wrong. I even had my husband check my spelling and he saw it was correctly spelled. By move 15, I finally saw the issue.. THE APP SPELLED CALIFORNIA WRONG! The app spelled California like this, “ Califorina” Pretty ironic a word game can’t spell.. I did not receive a second star because of the developers error. Seems someone in the developing department needs to go back to 4th grade..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Please Help!I’ve been playing this game every morning, along with several other Mobility games, as part of my “get my brain up and running” session. Until recently, that is. I’ve reached puzzle #1974, and have enjoyed the various themes made available for my choice. Until they weren’t made available any more. The last 31 times I’ve completed a theme and should have had choice of a new theme, I was limited to choosing either “Places” or “1990’s.” In fact, the last 10 times, I wasn’t given a choice. The windows said “Theme 1” and “Places.” Tapping “Theme 1” got no response, so those last ten times I played “Places.” As a final frustration, now the theme never completes. Every puzzle that comes up is “The Eiffel Tower in Paris.” Scout’s honor. I’ve finally given up. All I play is the daily puzzle. I tell you sincerely that Word Search has been my favorite word puzzle until these bizarre things started occurring. I surely hope you can straighten this out. Oh, one more thing: I’ve intermittently had the black screen problem that other players have mentioned. Not lately, though. Just “The Eiffel Tower in Paris” over and over and over..........Version: 1.2.0
✓ AddsThere are 2 many adds can I pay for this app and not have them.Version: 1.3.1.1380
✓ This would be fun except...The program keeps going black and has to be turned off cleared off my phone and restarted. In the category for famous people I tried to solve one by guessing Johnny Depp. Not hard to spell but once entered it told me I was wrong. After the next attempt which told me I was wrong I continued thinking I was way off. By the way my spelling was accurate. I played on and with only one letter missing, the Second P in Depp, I pushed the solve button and it finally took the answer. Keep in mind, I’m not saying that I don’t ever make mistakes and hit the wrong button on the keyboard but I did not this time. Once it didn’t accept the first try to solve I double checked my spelling and it was spot on. I would say this game needs a lot of work to fix bugs. I love Mobility Ware games but this needs more work..Version: 1.1.0
✓ I’m enjoying this!But sometimes it annoys me that I have to deal with american spellings..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love itI enjoy this game! I like the new categories! I tend to do too many and then have to wait for you to make more but still enjoy trying to test myself to solve each puzzle in the fewest moves possible. I enjoy the game but lately they are only giving two categories. For the last week it’s the same ones! I do not understand if there is a problem please fix it..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Why do we need the diddly diddly musac ?The game looks interesting, but the diddly diddly music drives me mad. If I could switch it off, I think I might enjoy the game. I tend to play these games whilst listening to the radio. I’m usually multitasking. However, the diddly diddly musac is really unhelpful. That’s why I decided to delete the game..Version: 1.0.1
✓ UnknownsIf you’re good at guessing names of people no one else has ever heard of, then this is for you! The principle of the game is great, it’s such a shame the questions were set by a 90 year old geek, who incidentally can only use American dictionary therefore can’t recognise real words!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ EnjoyI do it enjoy this game ...despite being very American bias with incorrect spelling...it’s also glitches a lot going blank after I close adds! Anyone else experience this?.Version: 1.2.0
✓ OK GameThe only problem with this game is the advertising policy. My main point is that if a user taps the X icon because they’re not interested in the game, service or product being advertised, then X means “NO” and the overly repetition of the same advert p. So redirecting a user to a second advert for another 10-15 secs or the App. Store for another chance to download the App. Is really annoying. When are these greedy idiots going to understand X means NOT INTERESTED! And, it doesn’t matter if it’s 10secs or 30secs you’re still not going to get a user to download anything after they’ve tapped the X icon. The only thing you risk by bombarding users with the same advert. over and over again and this double stage advert is to piss off users so much that they simply delete the app and then you have less users to advertise anything too... And, buying the app to avoid advertising won’t and doesn’t fix this problem..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Crashes = Move to another gameI really enjoyed the game when it worked. I like that new categories were added a few months ago, but my issue is like others in that you complete a game and then it freezes. This happened many months ago but it resolved. Now it is happening again. I don’t want to shut down and restart the game every time I play..Version: 1.3.1.1380
✓ Fun game with a huge, annoying flaw!Really enjoy the finding of words in a grid, and solving the phrase puzzles. However, the “hint” feature is unnecessary and grossly distracting. My favorite part of the game is finding the best possible words. It’s not timed, but if no word is entered very quickly, hints (or suggestions) keep popping up...always short and dull words easily found by oneself...which I find insulting and annoying. I haven’t yet found a way to disable this. I’m still playing, but my irritation grows stronger with each game..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Word SearchLike the game and don’t mind the short ads BUT you’re going to have to get rid of the loooong ads or you’ll get rid of me. Since I don’t generate any income it will likely be me that’s gone. I’ll give it 2 weeks. Thanks for your reply. In fact these are the first and so far only time I’ve run across this problem. If it happens again I will get back to you with the name of the company and other details..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Not the bestIf part way through a solution, you go to a different app, more adverts when you restart. Advert after most solutions. The game hung yesterday so I turned off the i pad to clear it. Today, the solution is “the old man and the sea”, but I cannot proceed because the third word requires another letter on the end of man. Frustrating. I decided to play on until I found a solution. The word man had to be inserted as “mand”. I think it needs debugging..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Keeps freezingI really enjoy this game but every time there is an ad, the game will freeze after it and the screen goes black. I then have to close the game off or put it on flight mode just to keep playing it..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Like the game, hate the flashing hintsI really like the game, but there seems to be a lot of unnecessary animation. And the flashing hints are more stressful than helpful - feels like I'm being rushed when the reason I'm playing a game in the first place is to try to relax and take a break from something. Would love the option to turn off this feature - bc honestly I usually end up getting too annoyed to keep playing..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Why does this happen?I really enjoy this game and am not so bothered that it’s geared to an American audience although I will admit some of the tv programmes are obscure! However, I’ve had to delete and reinstall it a few times as once I get to a fairly high level, I only get two category choices - Authors and Books or Places - which is quite annoying otherwise I would have given five stars. By the way, I use an iPad Mini..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Very obscure if you’re not from USAlthough this game certainly does have parts of it that are engrossing it is sadly very US biased. As someone from the UK am afraid I soon got annoyed that lots of it is rather obscure for people from other parts of the Globe. Also there are obvious inaccuracies. For example. Ebenezer Scrooge is not a book. It’s a character from the book Christmas Carol. That we Brits do know!! Take the game and make it more globally relevant or maybe just promote it in the US alone. Finally the adverts are way way too long. Shame; as I love Mobilityware Solitaire and do it every day..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Fun GameThis is a fun game, however, it would be much better if there were an option to remove ads. In response to the reply I received: ‘ Please consider that our studio relies on the revenue from ads so that we can fund the development of our free games and updates. Our Support team is ready to help if you ever experience any technical issues, and we can be reached through the in-game Support page. Thanks again for your feedback!" I have played plenty of other free games that also rely on the revenue from ads to help further the development of their free games and updates as well. That being said, they all have provided an option for the player to pay $0.99-$1.99 in order to have the ads removed to avoid the overwhelming amount of ads that constantly interrupt gameplay. That $0.99-$1.99 option is something that needs to be considered for the future. I know this doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, but because of this inability to be able to prevent the ads from being forced upon me I will no longer be playing this game, and have removed it from my phone..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Not as good as it could beI do really like this game but like a previous reviewer said a lot of the answers are USA based. Also nearly every time I watch one of the videos it just blacks out on me & I have to reopen it again- very annoying. I’ve tried turning my phone off then back on to see if it was the phone but it still does it. Please can you rectify this problem..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Fun but not enough varietyA good game to pass a bit of time but it gets a bit boring after a while as there are only a very limited number of categories. A bit more variety would go a long way!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Error spotted.Good game, but get facts correct :- SAN Francisco is in CaliFORNIA NOT CaliFORINA ‘‘twas not helpful, and rather frustrating. Never the less love the game certainly sharpens ones knowledge. We should be the only ones to make errors..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Major battery hog!!I’ve been playing Mobilityware’s version of solitaire for years. This game popped up in one of its ads, looked fun, so I gave it a try and have been playing for about a week. First complaint, this isn’t like Wheel of Fortune style. If you get a correct letter, it will not reveal ALL of that same letter in the puzzle, which is a ploy to cause you to make more moves. But the worst problem of all is battery usage. To say this app is a battery drain is a huge understatement. I just finished playing for 5-10 minutes and it literally drained my battery about 25%. It’s like that every time I play. It’s so bad, it’s not worth using, so I’ll have to delete an otherwise decent game..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Ridiculous priceI will stick with the adds Instead of the outrageous price they want to purchase the game. They could have more well known media. Weird how obscure the titles are..Version: 1.0.1
✓ OriginalUpdate: I was disappointed to see a form letter-type response to my review. There doesn’t seem to be any plan in place, or being developed, to address this issue. Guys, how difficult can it be to address a user’s legitimate problem or suggestion specifically? You aren’t having to deal with a lot of them every day. Take 10-30 minutes each day and make your customers feel valued with a response addressing their specific review. Repeatedly using identical form letters to respond to your customers makes them feel demeaned and unappreciated, and I felt like I had just been brushed off and dismissed. So, I’m going to “dismiss” (read “delete”) this game. When I saw this in the App Store, I thought, “Finally! A word game that is substantially different than the others!” And it is! Gameplay is unlike any other word game I’ve found. It’s enjoyable, if not particularly challenging. My problem with this game are the liberties taken with the words and phrases used as answers to the puzzle. I’m not sure where the creators of the individual puzzles are from, but often the answer has little to no connection to the stated category. With a little care and creativity, this game can make sense in addition to being quite a bit more challenging..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Okay game. Keeps me occupied.I have only been playing a little over a week and can’t stop playing. It it like word search and wheel of fortune rolled in to one. The only thing I don’t like about the game is having the same categories over and over. Additional info. I keep getting the same themes, Books and Authors and places. This has been my choices for the last six levels. Before that there were decades over and over. Not liking game as much as before. This is why I Sam changing my review..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Oops!I was really quite enjoying the game despite its limited dictionary. Then I got to famous world cities. “Queensland. - New Zealand” HELLO!? Back to the Atlas people..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Points Collection?Whilst it is interesting to solve the problems, where are the rewards? It shows that stars are being collected but the summary is not shown anywhere. No incentive to continue with the game..Version: 1.0.1
✓ PoorLove the game but can’t play it no longer is it very annoying when the adds come on but when they go off the game goes to a black screen and have to keep closing it down and reopening it witch it after every phase shame as I like the game.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Too AmericanIt’s a great game but too Americanised. It’s virtually impossible for me to know any American tv shows or personalities from the 60’s and 70’s. Even googling half answers doesn’t help much. Would get 5 stars if it stuck to international stuff..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Recent BugI have been playing this game for quite a while, but now, at level 510, I can no longer play multiple levels in one session. I play a level, it plays the video afterwards as normal, then goes to a black screen. I then have to exit the game and reload before I can continue. EDIT: Sorry, but I wont be contacting support, as I have deleted the game - I didn’t expect a response from the developers, so thought there was no point keeping it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ ProblemHi, this is a great game but with the most recent update their are bugs!! When you get famous couples and you complete the puzzle it hangs(freezes) and you need to close the app to get to the next puzzle. Because their are 12 puzzles per category you have to close the game 11 times in order to continue. When you finish the last puzzle in the category it goes back to normal. What a pain to have to close and open a game 11 times!!.Version: 1.3.0.1288
✓ Updates?I absolutely love this game but it keeps crashing... so frustrating.Version: 1.1.0
✓ What happened to the game?When is this game going to be up and running again? It was my favorite - except the foreign city ones. Very addicting! My husband is happy it’s not working. Excellent brain game!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Not bad, except…It’s hard to get an answer right when the app has incorrect information! Grace Kelly was not married to Prince Albert. He was her son. Her husband was Prince Rainier..Version: 1.7.0
✓ New update crapI’ve been using this app for at least a year, never had issues, but the update that was recently done is awful. The game freezes every time I Hit submit after the daily puzzle and for a normal level. Yesterday there was no daily reward/gift but then today there is yet no new update. Please fix at its very annoying to exit out the game after solving a puzzle every time. Was a great game before the update. Think there is a bug in the update. You guys said you were working on it and it has been two weeks. Can we get an update on when it might be fixed?.Version: 1.3.0.1288
✓ It was awesome at firstI'm the beginning ok was absolutely addicted. I really enjoy word games and loved that I got to choose my categories. I'm currently level 2030. I was happy until the last 25 categories or so. I no longer have a choice is places or nothing. This game has quickly gone from being my favorite game and me telling everyone about it, to being boring and more often than not I only open it to play the daily puzzle. I'm very disappointed in how this turned out and I'm seriously considering just deleting the game. I keep holding out hope that they'll update but that hope it's fading..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Has potential but needs to correct some of the mistakesThis game can be fun but there is much that would make it better. First of all the game needs to correct all of the misspelled words which it posts as correct answers. It is difficult to guess how in the world a game has misspelled a word such as “California”. It would be great to expand the focus beyond pop stars and movies when the subject is “famous people”..Version: 1.0.1
✓ FreezingEverytime an add finishes the game freezes in a black screen and I have to close the game entirely and reopen it.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Like the game but.....I do like playing this game but it’s always freezing on iPad. 95% of the time when ads are playing to gain a ‘booster’ it freezers and freezes and freezes..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Buggy updateI have been enjoying this game but the latest update not only increased the advertising but is buggy. When I hit the Submit button it doesn’t move on to the next game, I have to shut down and start again then I miss out on my free picks etc. please fix the bugs!.Version: 1.3.0.1288
✓ Not workingSince the last review it stopped working but has now started again and now it’s stopped again!! What’s happening? Come on I really enjoy the game but since the last update it’s been rubbish! Factually incorrect.... Everyone knows not putting baby in the corner is from DIRTY DANCING not Flashdance! Come on guys!!.Version: 1.3.0.1288
✓ More catagories neededWhy is this all about such a few categories and only about America there are other places in the world!!!! If it is only for the American market don’t advertise it in Australia.Version: 1.7.0
✓ There are other countries!What’s this ‘famous American landmarks’ thing? I’ve never heard of the ‘mall of America’. I live in Australia. There are people who play your game who live elsewhere. It’s so frustrating to have so many games that have topics about American things that no one else has ever heard of! Please. Be more internationally appealing. Aargh!.Version: 1.0.1
