✓ I wanna win something for the 1ST TIME IN MY LIFE!Please, I would really like to win some thing and I will continue to keep playing. The controls are funny with your games you would think they would be simple enough but sometimes things are backwards sometimes sometimes it doesn’t give you enough time sometimes it overshoots stuff the Plinko Game is right on. The golf game is all wrong. The control doesn’t work properly the knockdown the pens always unders shoots. The dart on the balloons game is OK. Getting used to it. I’d like to try it over and over before it just kicks me out of the game the beer pong game you have to shoot way before the ball. Otherwise if you just hit the ball it goes way over all the cups, I love God I love my family and I really deserve to win so please vote for me allow me to win something for the first time in my life I promise I will brag to everyone I can about publishers clearing house. Thank you.!!! Jason H Druktenis.Jaybo257Version: 4.1.990

✓ Buggy and Cheats VIPsFor months I’ve played this game and reached a high level of VIP. The last two months it has been very buggy, getting stuck on the way to the treasure chest and not going anywhere. Over the last two weeks, it has seized up at the treasure chest seven of the fourteen days. Once on the very first level. I even receive emails saying I’ve completed the level, don’t I want to keep going? I hit the link in the email thinking that might boost the game past the block, but nooooooo. In order to reset, I have to just wait for the next day. This means, for that day, I have been cheated out of the two VIP levels I’ve earned by playing all these months. Let alone all of the play for those levels. The programmers for PCH don’t seem to be fixing this issue. So when it says that it is updating the game, they aren’t truthful when it comes to reliability. (When they updated the game a couple of months ago and changed the van is when it started to have this problem.) If you don’t want to get frustrated with a buggy game that periodically gets you nowhere avoid this like the plague..Jdbp0110Version: 2.8.528

✓ HeretolearnI agree with others who find the PCH apps freezing up, causing players to have to reboot their phones. Once you turn your phone back on and go back to the game you were playing, the game takes considerable time to rework itself, so once again you are waiting. If you don’t want to shut down your phone, you can leave it for an hour or two and hope the game will re-right itself, and often it does - but that’s also inconvenient. Please fix this glitch! The new games have a fun factor to them, but are also more difficult than the previous set. If you like challenging, they are that! However they are trickier, very touchy, and require you to do SEVERAL things to earn the 25,000 max tokens, not just hit the mark once. If you tap the question mark on a game before playing it, you get a very brief explanation of how the game works, but nothing more. As you know, the less points you make, the less tokens and value for the time you’ve spent. I’ve looked for information from PCH on how to improve skills for the various games, practise opportunities, or helpful tips, but so far have found nothing. If anyone has found this kind of help, I would appreciate knowing where to look. :) Right now I earn about half the tokens I did with the previous set of games!.Hanks-ThanksVersion: 3.7.903

✓ Love to Play PCH Games but HATE excessive Pop-up Ads!😡I’ve been playing PCH App games for a few years. I play for the challenge & relaxation. Recently, pop up ads have taken over after every step in every game including within PCH Apps. Not many people pay attention to the content in pop up ads. We spend the lag time watching the timer or slide bars go across the screen. The amount of pop up ads and the time they consume is extremely irritating!! Advertisers pay PCH for product exposure to a broad audience but no one wants to see repetitive 30 second ads for the entirety of the gaming experience. Players don’t expect to win PCH sweepstakes, we just want to play the games unmolested by pop up ads. The amount of continuous ads & their length ARE driving PCH gamers away. No one has all day to wait for pop up ads to play in order to progress through a game!!! PCH & advertisers will both lose their audience’s attention as gamers lose their patience. Sounds like a LOSE - LOSE situation if the amounts of ads keep appearing. Opting-out is a joke… read the fine print. Too much trouble to play any game that becomes bogged down and stress filled! Annoyed, Frustrated and Dissatisfied!!!.Street SenseVersion: 2.9.538

✓ One major flaw and a bug, UpdateThe first issue I have with this app is that unlike the PCH lottery, we don’t know what numbers are assigned to our entries, nor do we know what winning number is drawn. So when you say the number that was drawn for the $10,000 a week super prize didn’t match anyone’s number, how do we know that’s true? We can’t be expected to trust a company that’s already faced a lawsuit for shady behavior. I would either suggest that you keep drawing until you get a match or make the operation more transparent. Otherwise, it feels like we’re wasting our time. The other issue is that sound effects continue to play in both this app and the PCH lottery app even though I have all sounds turned off in the app settings. This is very annoying, please fix it. Update: A warning for those considering doing the latest update in October 2023 - the update says ‘bigger and better’ but the only difference I see is more ads..AddictedGamer#...Version: 4.0.977

✓ Hate this APP!!! Hate it.You never know if your entry for the “big prize” ever went through because every time you press to submit it leads you to click on and on and on ENDLESSLY playing “games”. Again you never know if your entry is submitted. They just want to bait you around snd around and around wasting ALL your precious time. I mean this can take you for 1/2 hour to 24 hours a day if you let it. NEVER KNOWING if the initial entry you tried to claim ever went through. You get no confirmation just bait to play on on. When you do get a semblance of confirmation lo and behold there are always these other steps you must take and again you are baited on snd on snd on. That’s why I stopped using the app. So they lost me on their tactics. I did see a random ad come up in-line yeah I clicked it that’s how I ended up back but it’s the same old routine. I’m out now. Don’t want to play the game no more. It’s not fun. Just stupid sh now..User7890Version: 3.0.572

✓ UnhappyI used to love this app UNTIL RECENTLY SOMEHOW SOMEONE FIGURED OUT EXACTLY WHAT GAMES I PLAY IN THIS APP WHICH IS INCREDIBLY SUSPICIOUS BC I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE AND SO WAS OUR INFORMATION BUT THIS PERSON KNEW MY PHONE NUMBER, ADDRESS AND EMAIL TOO! They called saying I had won the exact prize I always play for and emailed and said I was going to be receiving a visit from the prize patrol the following day And I would be receiving a big huge check for 500,0000 and a brand new car. I was so skeptical but they had all my information so I couldn’t understand- my family has lawyers they say PCH IS SELLING OUR INFORMATION-& we should not use this app & SUE THEM BC THEY ARE STEALING OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH LIES ABOUT WINNING AND THEN THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO KEEP SENDING ME INVITATIONS TO THEIR GAMES!!! And SAYING ILL WIN!!! I DID NOT WIN. I started to feel & act as if I had though and it FELT ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IF ONLY FOR 48 FULL whole minutes…& I could literally afford ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE FOR 48 whole entire minutes!!!! I WAS SHOOK & pretty much just messed around and took pictures but imagine I bought something significant!? It’s crazy they would ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS YET CLAIM THEY HAVE PROTECTION AND FRAUD PREVENTION TACTICS AND ALGORITHMS BUILT INTO THEIR SOFTWARE AND PROGRAMS!? What!? Then where’s the malware detection!? Where’s the PROTECTION OF MY PRIVACY AND INFORMATION!? Even my ADDRESS WAS MADE KNOWN!.GypszyVersion: 4.0.977

✓ Need More Game DirectionsI am disabled and I love to play games on my phone. I am a first time user on the PCH app and I just completed the Cruise Ship game. However, not including the Whack A Mole game, I could not understand how to do the swipe games like Golf, Darts, Basketball, and Knock the Bottles Down. I read the directions at the beginning of the game, but I needed more directions to understand the swipe mechanism. Such as; do you swipe up? How hard do you swipe? Do you aim your swipe? How do you get your ball or dart to go higher? Therefore I ended up watching a LOT of ads to get my full allotted amount of entries in the prize drawing. I don’t mind watching a few ads because I know they keep your site running but one after every game is a bit much! Other than that complaint, I like the graphics and the games are challenging but not so hard that you want to give up. Thank you PCH for developing this app and saving trees in the process by not mailing the entries to potential clients..DitaniumVersion: 4.1.990

✓ App Failure Galore!!!It’s fun to play a few mini games but…there are wayyy tooo many commercials. Now I understand why they need the commercials but….i have found that the more commercials there are and the longer the commercials the more likely the app is to fail or get stuck resulting in having to reset the app. The last few days have been absolutely miserable. I am currently into the 3rd mini game and have had to reset the app 5 times. I have had days where i have reset the iPad and it does little to fix the problem. The games are free but if you have to reset the app between every commercial you get nowhere fast and it becomes so frustrating it’s not worth it. For the record, my iPad is not old. When it takes hours to get through the game challenge…the prospect of winning anything (which i have not and have been playing for years) is nil. It’s not worth my time or frustration..FritogVersion: 2.9.538

✓ Don’t play expecting to win actual prizesI have played this app for a lot of years, often finishing multiple levels a day. They recently updated the games, and the new ones are not as good as the old ones. The new basketball game doesn’t count any baskets in like the last 3 seconds (of the 30 second timer you get). It is a lot harder to reach the maximum token amount per game. The games are okay as far as fun. The biggest problem though is that PCH keeps increasing the length of the ads!!! When I started playing the app (many years ago), the ads were not at each level and only about 10-15 seconds. Now after every game you have 30-45 seconds of commercials/ads. Playtime is less than 30 seconds per game (some are less than 10 seconds to play)! So you are spending more time on commercials than game time. I understand that PCH needs to make money with commercials so that they can give away prizes, but when you spend more time on commercials than the games it is a no go for most players. None of the games have instructions either, or tell you how they are coming up with the total tokens you earn. Some games you can figure out, but others will leave you baffled. The odds of winning anything are also pretty low. I hope this review helps you if you are on the fence about downloading the app..Xyz randomVersion: 3.7.903

✓ Slushes an Freezes EverydayThis application needs to be monitoring. It’s crashes a lot. It freezes 3-5x a day. I have lost a lot of time just trying to play an fight to make sure it works. I have tried installing it an re- installing it. I have tried only playing on high speed Wi-Fi. Then just through my cell network. Either way the application is poor. It crashes looses count on tokens an where I left off at. I have been working on VIP Elite round an kicked off. Then go back in to just find it was all lost. NEEDS regular updates NEEDS monitoring. It’s not a fair to players. Trying to engage an win a prize. I really begin to wonder if it’s accurately logging all my super prize collected. There should be a viewing option for all the things ballots for. Like each prize an a true count of how many times for super prize. STOP crashing an FREEZING everyday an almost every hour….Addie-30Version: 3.1.613

✓ Still broken Go back to old version older than 3 monthsStill broken after sitting on 2 nd screen with van for way to long goes to a screen with out dated prizes from the week before to try to win and can’t go for super prize say 10 entrees then it glitches between 10 and 2 and then says you have 2 entries no games just a bunch of adds and who ever is doing the update have ruined this game and it’s not a game anymore to many long adds and can’t play any games you can actually play they are all broken hire your old programmers back or give the game writers the resources to fix this app sad you ruined this app. Release a old version this one is terrible beyond!!! I would give no stars if allowed. I want this game fixed it was fun when I first started playing it years ago then you added to many long adds that it took to long to get to the end of a game now you just totally réunied this and not even a game anymore. said you were updating for the better haven’t seen that yet!!!.12sam34Version: 4.0.973

✓ Used to be pretty funI have been playing PCH+ for about 6 years when I need something to zone on out for a bit. But it seems as if selling magazine subscriptions and cheap Chinese made tchotchkes aren't paying the bills. You can't do three things without an advertisement popping up. I wouldn't mind if it was an ad that I could just close but they are all timed. Oh and if it says it's 5 seconds, it's 5 seconds until your taken to the App Store to download whatever the advertised app is, then you clear that and hit the X in the upper corner but that takes you to the App Store also. So you have to back out of that and hit the X one more time. Ugh!! I know they have "rewards" if you watch an ad and that was bad enough. These useless ads every where you turn is absolutely ridiculous. And to top it off, they are the worst ads ever made with products I have zero interest in like Bingo and Solitaire scams for cash or "you are entitled to $6400 from the government, this is not a scam." It was pretty fun to play in my spare time but I am literally about done and ready to delete the app..Smithke79Version: 4.1.990

✓ Time consuming to complete all the worldsAgain, an ad appears whether you Max out or not after every game. Up until now, if you chose to Max it out, then you get an ad. If you win all 50 tokens, then you didn’t see an ad. But now you see an ad no matter what you choose, whether you win the max or not. This makes the time spent to complete all the worlds way too long. Not everyone has 5hrs to spend to complete it all with an ad after every single game. Up until now, I could complete it all within an hour and a half, which is more manageable than double or triple that amount of time. You can’t even multitask with the current games. Unlike the previous games where you could multitask because all it took was one touch per game. Now you have to sit there and repeatedly touch for every single game, making it so much harder to work or do other things while playing. And it also adds to the time consumption. Can you please shorten the time it takes to complete all the worlds? Cut back on the ads or change the games or something? Revert it back to the way it was before today. Do something to help with time consumption, please..Cm6621Version: 4.1.990

✓ Too unresponsiveThe games that are placed are too unresponsive and inaccurate to find even remotely worth the time doing. Some have a time limit to get the maximum amount of token, and you'll need the full 30 seconds to get all the tokens. Of course, if you get distracted by something while waiting for the game to load, you might not noticed the timer has started until the time is up. Other games don't have a timer but you'll wish the did because they don't always recognize you doing anything and when they do don't seem to correspond to what you did. There needs to be an option to skip the games, because they're not worth playing. At least with the old games they were over with one action on your part and there was a chance to get more tokens with most of the games. I didn't care for that old Frisbee golf game because it was all but guaranteed to get you the lowest amount of tokens, but at least it was over quickly. Now, you have to delete the app and reinstall it in order to open it..Brian BurwellVersion: 4.0.977

✓ GlitchesThis game is great some days then other days it won’t work, it makes you watch the ads but won’t let the entries go through after so you’re stuck watching ads repeatedly for hours and when you try to close the app and go back it shows more ads then the screen is just stuck on the processing entries and tokens, I’ve uninstalled this app and reinstalled and nothing changes, this would be a great app if it would work properly but I’m beginning to think they just care about people viewing their ads instead of caring about the people trying to put in the entries. Someone needs to fix these issues, if they can give out thousands of dollars I’m not sure why they can’t afford to fix these issues, hopefully something changes soon or people who have issues like I do with this will be forced to give up the app forever instead of wasting time waiting for it to work properly..SharaconVersion: 3.1.613

✓ PCHPoo on them. I have been buyer for many many years have not won 1 prize never got my discounts or postage page or free delivery ever. When I play the games they cut off on me and I get higher scores never to be recorded. Also not to mention o have won the gift box prize and no where can o go back to the next and find out how to claim the reward. When I call pch they say Mam do you want me to enter your number into the sweepstakes they don’t tell me which one I’m entering or they say you can call as many times as you like or enter as many times as you like. I know that! Also my question is when you enter these different advertisements do that knock your previous number out of the current race and like you start all over again meaning you should keep that one entry Numbers instead of sending you new ones in each mailers.CaladoshaVersion: 2.9.558

✓ John BrooksHmmm what is it about Pch not working anymore the only one left working is slots the rest update and only let me play the game part crashes and it reboots to play the next game with no credit or entries I’m only playing it for the entries just one more way not to pay the settlement Pch promise me and google will be made is Pch fraud or do I not have enough money to win the money owed to me because I do this every day now for over year and half I’m in a prison waiting for my life Pch has had me lie to my friends and family in video chats with google police and everything else the promise to make things right with me and the other parties not been nothing but trying to hope that they don’t have to pay me for winning all must be fraud or they really don’t care about if any one gets anything they win I’ve one many times and many things and never get anything but the 5 or 10 buck wins not worth walking to Walmart to cash.Jab2473Version: 3.1.588

✓ Accessibility!I guess PCH does not believe that blind people or those who are blind or visually impaired! Have the intelligence to play or participate in trying to win money. I guess they think that because we are blind we are retarded and or stupid or leftover garbage! Like all other corporations and app developers out there. Or that we live in nursing homes or group homes and we sit in corners and make retarded noises all day long. And that is the extent of our intelligence. Because if they would think differently then they would make their app accessible on all Apple products that would work with voice over so people like us who are blind or visually impaired could participate in trying to win money like all sighted people out there! I do not recommend this app for anyone who is blind or visually impaired I give it 100% thumbs down. You would think after all this time they would update your apps to work with voiceover! A poorly made app is a poor company. And a bad reputation as well. After all we are human just as well as the side people.KB3SLNVersion: 2.1.413

✓ Update is terrible!I do like the new layout, and the reduction in ads, but the issues just don’t make up for it: ~ The app shows an error message saying that I have no internet connection when I try to open it, but I’m on wifi. I was only able to get it to open twice so far since the update. ~ The games are much harder to control; it feels like the touch screen is often glitchy and lags; and is simply impossible to hit certain targets, etc. (I don’t have this issue doing anything else, so it’s not my phone.) ~ Lastly, the token payouts are about 10% of what they used to be, and the value of the prizes that we’re earning entries to seem to be lower than they used to be. It doesn’t feel fair to us players for you to have reduced the rewards so drastically. Please, fix the bugs asap - or go back to the previous version until it can’t be done..Sierra shinesVersion: 4.0.958

✓ They can’t seem to fix the app since it updatedI have tried all the things they suggest repeatedly before and after going to the help link on their site on the computer but with the exception of 1 day before the latest update it hasn’t worked now for well over a month. It was always hinky and would freeze a lot but then it completely quit working just giving you a screen that says they’re updating the games etc. I even wrote to them through the help site as I was annoyed by the emails asking me where I’d been. But it was readily apparent that no one actually read what I wrote or the AI needs work since the reply I got suggested I try the things I specifically listed that I tried repeatedly to no avail. So don’t waste your time trying to email through the site as the canned response makes it clear no one reads it. Made me wonder why it took so long to get a reply when it was a canned response. During this period it’s been updated twice but I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it when I thought just updating it doesn’t help. I officially give up. Most frustrating app I’ve ever had on my phone..CV 99999Version: 4.0.973
