Stop - Categories Word Game for Negative User Reviews
✓ It’s okayI like the thought behind the game & I play people I know, so it’s not being taken seriously. However, I find it really annoying that so many correct answers are counted as incorrect! There should be a way to override the apps decision, or let the 2 players decide if it’s accepted or not. The real scattegories even allows funny answers, upping the ante of fun! Even when I send feedback of a word being correct, I should get the points. Also, my other dislike is the time. I think the second player should not have to beat the first players time. Maybe have finishing early extra points or something, but don’t abruptly end the players turn. Overall, it’s a simple easy game that requires your brain & has fun potential, but it’s also fairly frustrating when you feel like all your words aren’t accepted..Version: 3.13.2
✓ Good game but has some consThis game is really fun, especially when you get to play with your friends. There are just a few things that make it less enjoyable. One thing is that there is an ad after every single round which is incredibly annoying and makes you not want to play the game as much. Another thing is that there is only a limited amount of lives before you can’t play anymore. Of course it refills after some time but it’s almost like they don’t want us to play their game or something. One last small problem that I have with the game is that there are only 2 game modes that are basically the same. It would be cool if there was maybe a practice mode or a mode where you can team up with someone but the same thing over and over gets a little old. That’s me just nitpicking though. The game is still really fun and I recommend getting some friends to play it with because its interesting to see what answers they come up with compared to your own. It’s also very competitive. Just please reduce ads and give more-infinite lives. Thank you!.Version: 3.29.0
✓ ReviewToo many ads, it’s annoying and makes me want to delete game.Version: 3.14.1
✓ Fun, but has its problems...I’d love to give this game 5 stars, because it really is good fun, but I just can’t. The one thing stopping me from giving a 5 star review is the accuracy of the answers. While I appreciate the ability to mark an incorrect answer as correct, there’s just too many inaccurate or even plain wrong answers. A recent example I had was that “ostrich” was given as an answer for the category “Typical Australian Things”. Problem is Ostriches are African. I’ve lost too many rounds because answers that I knew to be right were marked as wrong to give more than 3 stars..Version: 3.13.2
✓ Frustrating!I love the very them of this game but I don’t know why the fbck my random opponents take two days to finish their turn!!! Then ai have to start a new game and run out of lives!!! I have 15 games all waiting for the opponents turn. Geez!.Version: 3.13.6
✓ Too many addsI love this game but there is just far too many adds which make it hella annoying.Version: 3.12.2
✓ Good but it’s just not there.I enjoy this game, it’s fun to play and I like competition. This is where the praise ends. There needs to be more options when you click on a word. If it’s your own, you can only say this is valid and this is offensive. That is fine. What I have a problem with is when you tap on the opponents side, I can only say this isn’t valid and this is offensive. You should be able to say this is valid if they got no stars but it was indeed valid. Another issue is the half star click. If they earn a half star you should be able to say this isn’t a valid answer not just this is a valid answer. I had a prompt to write a word with 10 or more letters and the letter C to start. I wrote crocodiles, which is ten letters. They wrote Chihuahua, that’s NINE letters, yet they still got a half star. They shouldn’t get any at all. One other issue I have with this game is there’s too many adds in between..Version: 3.25.6
✓ Fun But flawedI just want to start by saying I really enjoy the game and believe it is one of the most fun and addictive games on the market today. My problems lay with three things: 1.To many adds I get the reason behind needing adds but when it’s after every turn you take it is very off putting to see the same add played for the 20th time! 2.the amount of time given to the player playing second: the player that decided a the categories already has an advantage by choosing categories they have more knowledge of but then they also get to see them categories and think before the time starts I think a fair way to solve this would be to give the player playing second an extra 3-5 seconds to read the categories before their time starts. 3. Last moan and just a little one make that computers regulating the answers a little smarter sometimes when you are trying to type fast your fat thumbs maybe press another button but I think if you’re obviously close to the answer you should be awarded the points. Moaning over still a great game just needs some slight fixes 😊.Version: 3.13.3
✓ Too many adds, repetitive and boringI played it but after 3 days I’ve deleted the app as there’s TOO MANY ADS! Feel like every time I press a button an ad pops up so I’m waiting for an ad to end every second more than playing the actual game and it’s the same questions over and over again. Too repetitive and boring! so that’s why I wouldn’t lay $8 for it. Also people can cheat and google the answers.Version: 3.30.1
✓ AdsCUT DOWN THE ADS A BIT.Version: 3.13.3
✓ Fun but not perfect!This game was recently introduced to me by a friend. Next thing I know, I’m hooked! This game is super fun. However, it’s not perfect. The vocabulary or scope of each of their topics can be very limited (not vast like Words with Friends). For example, a category of US cities and I entered Astoria, which is a city in the state of Oregon. It didn’t recognize it and marked it incorrectly even though it was a bona fide answer. Furthermore, the letters don’t match with the categories sometimes. I’m not sure if we’re just supposed to leave it blank and get a point for it? For example, category is US Presidents and letter is Y, there’s no US President with a first or last name with a Y. These flaws can be really annoying and kills the joy out of it. If you just answer the most basic and obvious choice, I think you’ll be fine..Version: 3.10.1
✓ Stop FlawWhat frustrates me about this app is that components can call stop on a game before providing an answer for each category. Whenever I’ve played, external to an app you’re not allowed to stop unless you’ve completed all categories. People cheat the system and stop after a few seconds, just enough time for them to write one confident answer, leaving you with no time to even read all 5 categories yet alone answer them. Especially since there’s a talley displaying your ‘average stop time’, which contributes fuel. It made me delete the game. Though I appreciate they let you report a word that you deem correct but they don’t currently..Version: 3.13.6
✓ Poorly RunThey do not have a big enough word bank. Losing points for 'words that end in NT' because RANT wasn't in there. Happens multiple times. And sooooo many ads that you have to press 3 different skip buttons. All around not worth the time it takes to get to the next round.Version: 3.27.0
✓ Lack of valid answersIt’s really frustrating when your answer is correct but the game doesn’t have it in its data... if you make categories you should make sure you have at least the most popular answers and yes, there is an option to mark a word as valid but how do I know when is it checked and I can actually use it? In Best-Selling Authors for example, you didn’t even have LEM - there are two movies based on his novel ‘Solaris’, it’s not some random rare author... Same with Animated Series and Movies, you have a lot of anime but yet you don’t have Erased, both anime and live action movie... You have winter Olympic winners, yet you don’t have ski jumpers... Otherwise very good game.Version: 3.17.0
✓ Has potentialWould be a very cool app if not for the dumb lives system. Come on..Version: 2.0
✓ Fun game…but the ads???The app itself is really fun. and i like that it has a set amount of lives that don’t take forever to reload because it forces me to step away from the app instead of spending hours on it. but there’s one BIG problem in my opinion: the ads. first of all, i get the same ad like 40 times in a row. the ad i’m seeing now is for a weight loss gummy made by “Oprah”, it’s full of false information and even leads the viewer to a website that’s supposed to look like Time Magazine’s website, but is actually a scam website. it’s EXTREMELY predatory, especially for older people who might not be tech savvy enough to realize it’s a scam. also, it’s claiming you can “lose 45 pounds in 15 days!” REALLY? that is dangerously unhealthy and disturbing. pushing this false info is so disgusting. i know that the ads aren’t created by the app itself, but i do think that any app or site has a responsibility to make sure the ads they’re running aren’t scams, predatory, or offensive. please fix this issue and do better. otherwise i’ll be deleting the app, which i don’t want to do because i enjoy the game. thank you..Version: 3.25.6
✓ Fun but...A person should not be able to hit Stop unless they have completed the whole board. I keep playing cheaters that answer one or two and then hit stop so I have like 10 seconds to respond. Response to Developer: That defeats the purpose of the classic paper and pencil game. The point of saying stop in the game is to be the first to finish the set. The only exception to this is if the entire group agrees to end the round. Zen mode makes the game different entirely because it also defeats the purpose of saying stop. What would make more sense is to make it so that a player can only hit stop if they have completed all fields OR select another option that suggests to the opponent to end the round at a selected time. If the opponent can fill out the fields in 60 seconds, then they would not agree to end the game. Or, even more simply, keep the timer but don’t allow any user to hit stop unless filled out. That way the option is to end at 60 seconds or only be able to end the round after the player completes all fields and clicks stop. This is like zen, except that it enforces the stop rule if the player is able to complete the round. Otherwise, cheaters will continue to win and many players will continue to be frustrated. It’s unfortunate that the game is this way because this classic game has been one that my family has played for probably 30+ years..Version: 3.15.0
✓ AdsFun but way too many ads, please fix your game.Version: 3.27.0
✓ GameI love this game. But you guys need to remember that there are Australians that you need to cater for with this game. 90% of my answers are wrong because they're Australian answers. Like an Australian sports team they said knights was wrong, no Newcastle knights ARE a real Australian sports team. Didn't recognize 'shepard' as a dog breed even though Shepard pups are quite popular over here. It just makes it so unfair to play when your game doesn't recognize real answers..Version: 3.5
✓ One Big ProblemI downloaded this game and absolutely love the idea. However, there is one big problem. I notice that a lot of matches I do people will answer one question and then stop, which I feel like defeats the purpose. I think it should be made to where both players get the max time, if you answer ALL the questions and stop early the other person should still get the max time, then if both players tied, you go by whoever finished first. That would weed out the people that answer one question and stop the game. It’s very annoying and the 2nd player has a huge disadvantage when they start the game because they don’t know what the categories are, as to where the first player does. I’d like to have a chance to come up with words from each category. It’s my only issue with this game, but it’s a big issue. You shouldn’t be able to stop unless you have answer for each question, not just one to cheat..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Rigged to make you spend your coinsI find that a lot of the time when you spin the spinner to select the letter you play it ends up at v, x, z, etc. All the really difficult letters— I’m guessing they’ve done this to encourage you to use your coins so you’ll maybe want to buy some. 🤷🏼♀️ It is frustrating..Version: 3.13.2
✓ Not fairOk game but big problems. First, it isn’t fair that they know what you are picking so the do the exact same so it’s pointless trying to win. Second, they win even if you have the same amount of stars! I just played a game and it was 3-3 on stars but they won! Thirdly, they have made up things. They ask for airlines beginning with K, I say Korean air and they say Kindergarten air! What the heck is that airline and I study planes I know for a fact that it isn’t real. They ask languages beginning with K, I say Korean they say kulanku! What is kulanku I’m pretty sure that is fake! Just gave this feedback so you are aware that changes could be made. Thanks Harvey.Version: 3.13.3
✓ Stop capitalismThe ads are horrible.Version: 3.28.1
✓ READ FOR HONEST REVIEWI have had this game about two weeks now and I absolutely love it! It keeps you quick on your toes and is great to pass time. HOWEVER, this game can only work with data or an internet connection. This being said, there are a LOT of ads. Now normally ads do not bother me, but the way this game is designed, once you go into the game you have 30 seconds or less to answer all the questions correctly. Well, I have been having ads pop up as SOON as my around starts, making me lose the round because I’m stuck having to watch an ad. So dear developer, please fix this or else I will delete this game and not recommend it to anyone else, which would be a true shame because it has so much potential. I hope this was helpful. P.S. the ad problem didn’t start until I was beginning to win matches..Version: 3.7.0
✓ 😡Why so many Ads 😡.Version: 3.11.2
✓ I like the game but...This game is a wonderful idea, I love the game ITSELF lots,but there a few things I don’t like. For me it feels like after every second a ad is popping up. I do not like that there are so many ads, I understand that that’s how they make money but there is so many. Another thing is that I think you should generate heartsa bit quicker, because you renerate them afyer 22 minutes..Version: 3.13.0
✓ Ads are unbearableAfter every round there is an ad. I understand make your buck but holy jeez.Version: 3.28.1
✓ Ads are awfulI hate that many unsolicited ads. I am happy to watch ads for extra lives etc but otherwise it is annoying, particularly when the occasional ad somehow overrides my phone being on silent? Also the ad where the guy is about to belt the woman with a bit of wood or whatever it is and then gets distracted is kind of in poor taste... deleted the game..Version: 3.13.6
✓ Its good however...I do enjoy playing this game however when im not playing I recieve about 4 notifications all repeating the same message about either another playing being ready or to “dont give up”. I recieved approximately 120 notifications from this app in one week. Its too many and the four notifications at once thing should go, I dont want to play the game anymore. When im consistantly asked to do somthing it feels like a chore and playing a word game should not be a chore..Version: 3.13.6
✓ Interesting conceptIt’s a good game with an interesting concept but I think it’s pretty poor form that you still make the user sit through ads to reveal words when they’ve paid for no ads! :( Please reconsider this. Also, quite a few words 10 letters+ that are spelt correctly aren’t being accepted. I’ve reported the ones I find to hopefully get them fixed..Version: 3.16.0
✓ Fun but...Definitely fun, but there are no answers in some categories, like countries beginning with letter W, X, same goes for capitals, there is no capital with X. Also, database needs heavy building, bug fixing (I found answer that was marked as incorrect while listed on your website!!), like how is Adelaide an Australian tourist attraction, but Darwin is not? Where did you get your candies from? :)))) Lots of work, imo, and really, the frequency of adds will make me stop (pun intended) playing. Cheers..Version: 3.17.0
✓ Soccer category overload ☹️There seems to be soccer categories EVERY spin. Yet others such as TV shows have completely disappeared. And useless categories like famous you tubers which nobody seems to be able to answer correctly. The ‘random’ mechanics are failing , there are always the two daily letters that keep coming up. Come on, you can do better!.Version: 3.16.0
✓ Ruined...I used to spend hours playing this game in my free time, unfortunately the recent update has made the game practically unplayable. Putting the adverts in between different rounds ruins the experience and causes you to lose concentration, having them on the home screen was far less disruptive. The changes made to the wheel have made it even worse than it already was, it seems even more fixed than it did before the update. Overall the recent update has absolutely ruined this game and has made it stressful to play which is why I will no longer be playing it..Version: 3.11.0
✓ DmjfvnL attente prend trop de temps.Version: 3.13.2
✓ Wrong answers/not enough right answersThis game is fun but it’s range of answers is incorrect and not wide enough. There was a big city category and the letter was O, and my components answer was Ontario, which is not a real city. It’s a province.Version: 3.28.1
✓ Disgusting Players - Need to Check Answers before user can submitI downloaded this game and within 10 mins of playing I deleted it due to disgusting messages written as answers to the puzzles. Things such as “F**k you dumb sl*t”. Firstly how did this player even know I was a female? I was playing as a guest! Secondly, young children will play this game to help with spelling etc. but they should not be subjected to these types of words or behaviours. The developers should consider performing a word check at the time of the user submitting to ensure words such as theses are not allowed..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Great game, BUT...I was addicted to this game, and played for hours - BUT, it’s becoming extremely annoying when your correct answer is counted as wrong. For example - the category is written as plural, I give the answer in plural, and my opponent gives the exact same answer in singular form, and their answer is correct but mine is wrong?? Also, it’s rare to get any new categories - after a while, it’s just like mindlessly using the same answers again and again. But the most recent thing that truly annoyed me is the fact that my answer for the category “Star Wars,” with the letter “S” was “Stars,” and was counted as wrong...the world they live in is LITERALLY surrounded by STARS, thus the film title! Now I’m sure there are many much more suitable answers for this category - but I am not a fan, nor have I watched any of the movies, so other than some of the character names, I’m at a loss - which shouldn’t be discriminated against... just saying. This is not to mention my Horror Movie answer, “Mary Reilly,” being counted as incorrect - it’s a quite well-known film starring Julia Roberts, as a matter of fact. Another one - Clothing and Accessories, letter is “B.” My answer was “Beaded Purse,” and was counted as wrong. Really? It’s an actual item and is an accessory. I don’t think I’ll be keeping this game, as it has quickly become boring and tedious, and rather aggravating..Version: 3.15.0
✓ Too Many Ads!!!!!There are too many ads in this game which makes it frustrating. You cannot even skip the ads and you have to watch it for whole 30 seconds for no reason..Version: 3.14.1
✓ This game is good but the....The ads come up after you’ve played a round and you have to watch an ad to reveal the answers which I think is really annoying.😡😡😤😤😤 I can’t get past the ads either because there’s no X in the top right or left corner but overall it’s fun, fast paced and interesting.😝😝😝😝😭😭🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😋😋😋.Version: 3.13.1
✓ It’s not perfect but it is fun.I wouldn’t say it’s perfect but it is good fun. I’d love if there was a single player or “practice” mode. Some new categories would be nice too..Version: 3.11.2
✓ Anything you do results in AddsI’m actually done with this Money hungry game. How about you listen to your games name an Stop! With the adds. You turned a great game into a annoying Show. That’s how many adds there are..Version: 3.11.2
✓ Why is there’s livesI hate the lives part. Otherwise this would be 5 stars.Version: 3.28.2
✓ Awful community and timing systemI thought this game would be really fun since I really like the real version of this game. The first few games worked but every game after that.. the other player didn’t even play. I can’t even finish and get rewards! What’s the point of getting the app if you can’t even finish a game?? Like cmon! I get really excited to win, then the other player just doesn’t play. The time on this game isn’t accurate either. First of all, I just sit there waiting for 5 minutes for the other person’s answer while I had only 1 minute to put in my answers before they got revealed. Should I have seen the other person’s answers? The game didn’t even end either. I just sit there waiting for it to end, but it doesn’t even do that. If the player leaves or doesn’t play should the game have ended??? It doesn’t. This game isn’t accurate to the actual game, and barely works. Please improve, and if you want to save your time, don’t play it at all.Version: 3.14.0
✓ Nice game but, lives, really?I downloaded the game a few days ago and I was really loving it until today when I had finished playing a round it popped up with ‘you’re out of lives’ the only way to get lives is it either watch an add or pay MONEY. I think it’s stupid it’s just another way to get money out of you, and PLEASE respond to this review and explain to me exactly why you have lives? What’s the purpose?.Version: 3.18.1
✓ Ok😐It’s fun to play but I tried to play with someone but it I’m sure a bot was playing the person.Version: 3.30.0
✓ Too many adsToo many ads to the point it just isn’t enjoyable to play. Uninstalled same day because of this..Version: 3.24.1
✓ MemoriesI remember why I quit playing this game about a year ago. While it is fun, it is just too ridiculous to sit through all the ads on here..Version: 3.29.0
✓ SuggestionsI really like this game a lot but there are certain things that are really annoying. There are certain categories that are so specific that I wish we could choose to never have to play. For example: olympic medalists. It’s not even just a category for any olympic medalist ever. It’s so specific by saying summer olympic medalist or winter olympic medalist. I don’t watch the olympics so I don’t know. I wish there was an option to eliminate certain categories that you don’t want to ever have to play. I also sometimes think of the most clever response ever and It doesn’t work, and then sometimes I get a rare on something that isn’t unique or rare at all😭That’s not really a big deal just kind of obnoxious but the category thing is actually ridiculous because idk how many games i’ve played where there’s something sports related and I don’t know sports well..Version: 3.28.0
✓ Is confusingInstructions is unclear and you should add the option to quit a game I spent an hour with my opponent texting them wth is happening.Version: 3.29.0
✓ Publicité bien trop longueLes publicités sont exagérément présentes et surtout beaucoup trop longues. On perd l’intérêt rapidement..Version: 3.30.0
✓ Fun gameToo many ads. There’s an ad between every 1minute round. Fun game though.Version: 3.29.0
✓ AwksOk so I’ll be home by the park and I’ll check my room and get ready to get off the work and then I can get a ride to you then to my moms house to pick it out for a walk in a park minji I will be in a few minutes late to my appointment and then we will head to the office to get the car ready and I’ll send you the info for the next few days I have a lot going in and I need you guys for me a little later than that but I will be there in a few if I can join join for a free ride trex bye love love bye love ur bye bye love you daddy bye daddy hi bye guys daddy love ur love love you bye love love daddy daddy I’ll do it soon bye bye love love you daddy daddy love you daddy love.Version: 3.27.0
✓ Ads are insaneLove this game, but the amount of ads I get is just ridiculous! Makes the game not enjoyable.Version: 3.13.1
✓ Needs improvementLove the game - but far too many adverts & after each one my screen goes black, which means i have to close the app and go back into to..Version: 3.13.1
✓ Where do I even start?Too many ads. Too long a wait for another player. And in the very first game I played a valid answer was marked wrong. And it was a common enough thing, that pretty much everybody knows would be correct. Maybe they shouldn’t try topics they nothing about. Also, it’s obsessed with Canada..Version: 3.13.6
✓ Stupid mogs appThis is a stupid app every answer I get it’s telling me it’s wrong I’m sick of it stupid game whoever is behind it needs shooting and to go back to school my whole family has bullied tonight because of this stupid game telling me I’m stupid any bit of self confidence I had I’m after loosing it tonight over this sick app and another thing if I’m paying to change my letter I don’t wanna end up with the same letter again okay ? So the two things I would like is for you to go get a dictionary and for you to return my four stars so yeah if u could hurry up and return my coins that be amazing and maybe while ur at can u take the letter x y and z out because there is about 4 words in the dictionary starting with them letters let alone what counties starts with x there is NONE !!!.Version: 3.12.1
✓ Fun gameFun game but too many ads honestly it almost not worth it, every turn I have to suffer through ads constantly.Version: 3.27.0
✓ Trop d’annonces!Franchement irritant!.Version: 3.15.0
✓ AdsThe ads made this game unplayable for me. I couldn’t get a steady flow of gameplay. The ads were dominating the app and forcing me to watch Every. Single. ONE... Plus they allow ad sources that can be a little too sexual so I will NOT be supporting this game..Version: 3.28.1
✓ I like it butLike the idea of this game but needs work on the answering side of it. The amount of answers that are marked wrong from myself an the opponent is ridiculous. Puts a big downer on the game Lots of correct answers are marked as wrong or incorrect spelling And the ads!!!! Why so many..Version: 3.13.2
✓ Way to many adsThere’s about the same time played as there is waiting for ads. It’s very annoying and really makes me not wanna play.Version: 3.28.1
✓ Fun but needs an updateSo I’ve been playing for a while and it’s a great game. I’m always on it and it’s fun to see what I can come up with under pressure. I think it’s a good format for the game and a good concept. But here’s some suggestions. LESS ADS. There are way too many ads in this game, after every two games it forces me to watch and ad. MORE LIVES . I think you should be able too have 5 lives at once instead of three since rounds are only 3 minutes each. I think you should be able to watch an ad for a life. UPDATE WORDS. In one of my recent games the letter was A and the category was countries. I put America, It said it was incorrect. This has also happened many other times with different letters and categories, and this game needs and update for words. CHILD FRIENDLY MODE. Should be an option so bad words will be censored if the opponent does put them in. DIFFERENT MODES. Instead of only classic and zen there should be more such as one where you have all the categories and you fill out as many as you can. Aside from all this the player base is also super annoying because half of my lives go to waste. We should be refunded lives if this happens! I would rate this 3.5 if I could.Version: 3.12.2
✓ I would of given this 5 stars... But...So this would be amazing if... You didn’t have an ad every 2 seconds. The ads last longer than the games... £4.99 to stop ads!! Ridiculous amount of money. The stop feature is ridiculous... people are clever with it! They quickly type 1 word into a category and press stop... I just played a game where it was S and I didn’t even get past writing the first letter and the other player pressed stop... in 3 seconds... they wrote the word Sam on boys names and taking the gamble that I hadn’t been fast enough pressed stop.. what’s the point? Why play it? If you need a stop feature why not let people press the stop when they want and get extra points for fast timing.. let the opponent play and stop when they can and if the other person stopped earlier they get an extra star or something... Deeply flawed in all honesty. Fight list is far superior I’m afraid..Version: 3.22.1
✓ FRUSTRATEDI do enjoy the game. I paid so that I wouldn’t see ads. Well that did not help!!! I’m still inundated by uninteresting, way too long and noisy ads. I play this game to relax and these ads are very intrusive. I also like to listen to music from another app and these horrible adds are always cutting the music. I also object to the type of ads encouraging people to gamble when we know that they are being tricked thinking they will become millionaires..Version: 3.14.1
✓ This stupid me and my friends try to playMe and my friend don’t have face book and when we sposble add it puts us in a match even tho we’re not in a match only one person’s in.Version: 3.29.0
✓ Why always the same letters?Hi! I’d just like to start off by saying I do quite enjoy this game however it can be a little annoying when you get the same letters ALL the time. Now I’m all for the harder letters and it does keep the game fun and interesting and really makes you think. However I do also think that an easy round is always fun. I have played many rounds of this game but I have never seemed to get more common letters, I am always stuck with X, W, Q ect. Just make it so the ‘spinning’ is more balanced. It’s an easy fix. I will definitely enjoy the game a lot more when there is more variety in the letter..Version: 3.25.6
✓ Good concept; poorly executedThe idea for the game is great, but the very limited number of categories, the wrong answers marked right, the right answers marked wrong, allowing the use of adjectives and adverbs, and the points for ‘spelling errors’ (which usually aren’t spelling errors, but just plain wrong) takes all the fun out of it. I get that the app inventors want my money, but forcing me to watch 30-60 second long ads for other crappy apps is never going to achieve that. Making the game continually fresh and fair would. As it is, I’ll be deleting the app and moving on to the next one..Version: 3.13.6
✓ TimeI stop the game at 29 seconds and I have to wait 1 min for my opponent so what’s the point of stopping the time.Version: 3.29.0
✓ Stop VS Trivia Royale.Okay, so it’s a good game, but it’s just not really my type. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE trivia games, like Trivia Royale, where I don’t have to be signed to in Facebook or anything to add people, unlike this game, where you do. In Trivia Royale, you have hundreds almost of choices of hair, hats, glasses, and skin color you want. You can also pick earrings and stuff like that. In this game, you pick if you want to be a boy, girl, or item, but you don’t have too many options, I’m just suggesting you add different hairs, and stuff like that that I said. In trivia Royale, you can see people, and PICK what genres of game modes you want, like “Pokémon” Or “Spelling” or “Fortnite” or “Movies” so on so on. In this, (and I know you meant to do this but still) it randomizes the genres, and some are really hard. Also, I don’t like how you have to pick a letter to start with every word. In trivia Royale, you can see each other and make your character “alive” where it scans your facial expressions and makes your character have the same expressions as you. But generally, this is a really good game, just not my type of Trivia games..Version: 3.18.1
✓ Too many adsFun but too many ads, you watch for longer than you play because theres an ad after everything you do.Version: 3.27.0
✓ AdsI paid 3.99$ to get the ad free version however I STILL GET ADS!!!!!! Not happy!!!!! I wrote to them and no response!!!!.Version: 3.13.0
✓ A few mishapsThis game is fun, I love it, but I think that there are a few right answers I’ve said that have been wrong, and there are other missing answers I believe. This games respin on the wheel is quite annoying because if you spin more than twice and on the third respin you can’t get anymore, it ends up being a letter you already landed on in your first spin, but you cannot get a free respin for that..Version: 3.29.0
✓ Great but...When I get free games on the Apple Store I tend to buy the option of getting rid of ads. I hate ads as it cuts into the play time and for a game of this quality I was more than happy to pay. £4.99 to get rid of ads is a bit much but anything to get rid of them. Turns out that was money wasted as if I want to reveal answers at the end of a round I still have to watch a 30 second advert. Having paid almost exactly a fiver to get rid of them I still have to watch ads. This is misleading, and I’d advise against purchasing the no ads option as you may still have to watch ads in order to view answers at the end of a round..Version: 3.13.0
✓ There’s far too many adsAfter every round you have to watch an ad, this takes away the flow of the game and is very frustrating. To fix this maybe place an ad after every 3 or 5 games..Version: 3.13.4
✓ MehGood game but some answers are right but are marked as wrong and vice versa..Version: 3.27.0
✓ Ads ads ads adsI don’t even know if I’m playing a game or watching other people play a game it’s add after add after add never played a game this bad drowning in ads ruins the whole fun in the game.Version: 3.13.6
✓ Stupid game.Too many ads that take forever to skip, just ruins the experience. Plus I absolutely hate how annoying the sound is when you lose. It just feels like the game is shaming me more for being a loser. Heck, don’t even try comforting me by saying “You lost… but you get 2 coins!”.Version: 3.29.0
✓ Great game but flawed in one wayRecently I’ve noticed that because the opponent has the advantage of seeing the letter and categories in advance- they type in one word and stop the clock at 5 seconds and win the round before I’ve even had the chance to think! I feel that is quite unfair. I too am doing it to other opponents just so I can at least win and this technique makes the game a little boring and unchallenging. I think to make it a bit more fair either the stop sign is available after at least 20 seconds OR both opponents can see the letter AND category before the game starts. The Zen mode is good if you want a long time to answer but I want a challenge but I also want more than 5 seconds to think! :) Another smaller issue- the alphabet wheel is such a pain to spin! It often says my spin was too weak ugh! Just put a button below the wheel so we can simply press and spin!!.Version: 3.12.1
✓ This game sucksAll the ads are so annoying and it’s also annoying when the opponent presses "stop" first thing or when you’re in the middle of typing a word. Does this make anyone else mad? This game sucks. Bye, I’m off to download fightlist 👋.Version: 3.11.2
✓ Great game but could be improvedIt’s a pretty great game but there’s only one problem I find with it. The whole layout of how a game is started. Categories get chosen before the letter does, and some of the categories on there, for example the period table element, are limited by certain letters. There is no element that begins with a W as me and my partner were just playing a match and got W as a letter and periodic table element as a category. I was fairly certain that there was not an element that began with a W so I clicked on the hint for the question and it gave me Wol as a part answer. To check, i googled the periodic table and there is no element anywhere that begins with W. The only thing that would come close to a W on the period Table would be Tungsten as that is the letter displayed for it. Otherwise really great game. Just think letter should be chosen first and categories after or have some sort of algorithm that sorts or changes certain categories that don’t fit the letter chosen, like the periodic table question.Version: 3.9.1
✓ Great game but needs some updatingI love the game, I play it everyday. It’s a good way to get your brain going and also learn new things. However, my main issue is that there are many answers that i lose a point on, or half a point, that are correct. (I always double check with google) I always report any valid answers, however it doesn’t seem that there’s any updating. It’s frustrating when I lose a match over half a point when I’ve spelt the word correctly..Version: 3.15.0
✓ ReviewWay way WAY too many ads and some of the ads shut the whole game down. would be fun if there weren’t so many ads all the time.Version: 3.13.0
✓ Too many adsI tryed to play my first game and ended up seeing 3 full add (1 min) and all that while answering 1 time... the concept is great but i already deleted it because it’s unplayable. And I’m clearly not the only one here..Version: 3.16.0
✓ Too many adds!!!!I’m absolutely addicted to the game and would be glad to put 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️But every next game into the end , middle and end. It’s always adds, adds and MORE ADDS👁👄👁 I mean there helpful for example, grammarly🤨 it’s cool and all but I don’t wanna watch an add with an app that’s for money😧. Please just fix this and I would be happy to delete this rate🤗 and make a new one with 5 stars because it would really help❤️🌹❤️🥺🥺.Version: 3.14.1
✓ Fun but notIts amazing to play with friends and family but a bit to many ads.Version: 3.16.0
✓ Pretty goodIt’s pretty good but I think you should be able to play live and I’m not sure what other country people have played this game, I remember playing it in Brazil and I had no idea other people played it so cool game but just need a little improvement.Version: 3.22.1
✓ Great concept, a few negatives that are hugeFirst of all, I think this game is really great; the basic idea of figuring out what works and what doesn’t (and the things that only half work or misspelled is honestly the most intuitive part) is fun and challenging. And I’ve found the word bank to be pretty good, as well. I guess the idea of first to three round wins to be victor of the game is fine, but I’d also like an unlimited mode where you can just keep playing rounds forever without a limit. For the negatives: The categories seem unbalanced. There are four football ones (nfl teams, super bowl mvps, super bowl scorers, super bowl music performers), with only one category for all other sports (teams or Olympic medalists). I’m not saying add more for the other sports, just take away super bowl scorers and mvps. There are some other very specific/vague categories. The spinner almost always seem to land on the hard letters, and never on the normal ones. I think this is because it always starts on “A” which is right by X, Y, Z, etc, so my suggestion is to have it randomly start on a letter, or just change the algorithm. Finally, there are way too many ads. And for me, it’s always the same ad for at least a whole week. It’s very frustrating when you can’t play very many games because there is at least one ad after each game. It chews up my data caps, too..Version: 3.6
✓ WHY SO MANY ADS!!!!!!!!!So many ads, I only played 1 game.Version: 3.13.1
✓ New Issue - Shown Ads after Paying for No Ads VersionUpdate: I puchased a NO ADS promo the other day. I understand that I can still see ads if I click on the option to see ads in exchange for coins. However, I just clicked to go back to the home screen after completing a game and it suddenly showed me an ad anyway. What’s up with that? Is it a glitch? I really like this game, but it has some issues that bug me. While points are designated by stars, the way that these scores are computed is confusing. There have been times that it looks like I should have either won the level or at least tied with the other player, but the game said I lost the round. Also, there is no pausing the game play. I had started a round when I got a phone call today. I shut the app to answer the call and when I reopened it later, it still had counted the level even though I had shut the app. Other timed games don’t do this. If you shut the app, the game shuts down and the level is canceled or paused and can be resumed later. Since I didn’t get a chance to write anything and the app didn’t pause gameplay or end the level when I shut the game, I lost the round. Please fix this for later game versions. Other than these complaints, I really like the game..Version: 3.27.0
✓ Use to be good, but bad in so many waysHELLO, ARE YOU THERE PEOPLE MAKE THIS GAME OR YOU ONLY GIVE A TOSS IF ITS A GOOD REVIEW AND YOU ARE MAKING MONEY. WELL FOR ONCE LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL COMMENTS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAME. Ah...I use it love this game, but it’s gotten so bad. I mean for starters having ads after every go is way too much. Also so many right answers you say is wrong and vice verser. I mean for example...category “trees” letter W...I put Willow..apparently wrong . Category “champions league winners” For letter A I put Andrew Cole...apparently wrong, but Andy Cole is correct...ITS THE SAME PERSON! You ask them to sort this out, but off course nothing gets done. Will the makers respond to this...off course not, like most these people who make these games. They only respond to good reviews. SORT IT OUT AND ACTUALLY FIX THINGS AS IT SO PROMISES Oh now a new problem....CATEGORY “FOOTBALL WOLD CUP WINNERS” LETTER “B” ANSWER GIVEN “BRAZIL” OBVIOUSLY THIS IS CORRECT BECAUSE THEY HOLD THE RECORD....OOOOOH BUT ACCORDING TO THE APPARENTLY “CLEVER” PEOPLE AT STOP...THIS IS WRONG.....WHAAAAAAAAT! WHOS MAKING THIS GAME? OH BUNCH OF IDIOTS BY LOOKS OF THINGS.Version: 3.17.0
✓ Too many ads not enough playStop the flipping 30sec ads after every single round! After reading a lot of reviews up to 3 yrs ago nothing has changed about the number and length of ads. Too frustrating to continue. Deleted!.Version: 3.29.0
✓ Quite a few things to say🧐I think this game has a good concept that just isn’t that unique, you get a similar experience with the app “ Fight List” by Voodoo, although this is better. I don’t like the “ letter spinner”, because it just is not very good. Common letters I get often are u, v, h, i and x. There are also too many ads. Some themes such as “ Romantic Things” probably need to be created as more open - ended, as some things I’d name just don’t count. Overall just a way to earn money, but moderately fun so you can pass time..Version: 3.13.4
✓ Fun, addictive, but kinda frustratingI like the concept of this game, but it’s really frustrating that almost everyone seems to play one move then throw their phone into a lake. It’s annoying to have 15+ games on the go at one time and constantly be waiting for the other player to play their next move. I wish there was more of a continual back and forth gameplay, or some other game mode to play while you’re waiting for your move. Solo mode? + Some of the answers are ridiculous. For example, for “mythical creature” starting with C, I said “chimera” (stoked I thought of that one)... the other player said “car”. 🤷🏻♀️ But because theirs was a “rare” answer, they got the bonus points and won the round 🥴😂.Version: 3.28.1
✓ Horrible🤮This game is absouloutley RIDICULOUS and a waste of time. First off the amount of ads is stupid you click anything on the app and BOOM a ad pops up most of the time thirty second ones. Secondly, you get half a point for misspelt answers which is totally unfair for dyslexic people. Another thing is that lives are only given every thirty minutes so unless you watch another lengthy ad you have to wait. I recommend playing Fight List or better yet Fight List 2. The second one is exactly like Stop but way way way better and less annoying pesky ads. I have a theory as well Fight List 2 was released earlier that Stop which leads me to believe this game was almost completely plagiarised. Anyway don’t waste your precious time trust me you will regret it!!!!!!!! Yours Angrily Anastasia Maria.Version: 3.13.2
✓ StopWhen I first started playing I was addicted and I couldn't stop playing but then one day I went to go play and almost all my matches were gone! I knew I had way more matches played then just that. It also concerns me about the adds. There are way too many and it gets quite annoying, there is an add after every match!.Version: 3.5
✓ Fine but I found an annoying bug ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)So I enjoy playing Stop. When I first downloaded it I played it twice per day and loved it! One day though, I was playing it and the letter was E. One of the categories was My Boss Is… I put Energetic as it was the first thing that went into my mind. When the results came in apparently it was wrong even if it was correctly spelled. I didn’t understand. I thought it was a glitch and wrote a kind review about it. No one got back at me. About 4 days later it worked fine for about a week or so. After that it goes downhill. I played afterwards, all normal. Letter: C Weird Category: Something that goes inside your pocket. I wrote Car Keys. The rest of the categories were easy and I had enough time to finish them all luckily. I’m 1000% all of them were spelt correctly but they all came in as wrong. 😒 I don’t understand what’s happening to my game but I have stopped playing. Please get back to me as soon as possible because it’s weirding me out. So far I’m giving this two stars because I enjoyed playing it. (While it was working).Version: 3.25.6
✓ Fook this gameBloody ads every 10 seconds, the virgin developers cant get hoes so they add ads because they’re big c*ck suckers.Version: 3.28.0
✓ Excellent game BUT......Love this game, well developed and thought through. But............The ads every blooming time you navigated through the app is higher than all my other apps! I'm really enjoying this game so much but the ads constantly that are so long is pushing me to the blink of deleting it!! £4.99 to get rid of the ads is an insult and shouldn't be allowed on any game! I'm happy to pay £1.99 max, but any higher is an insult. It's not like the app doesn't have other money making sources. Like all apps, the amount of people that wouldn't pay it and/or delete the app is around 38%. That is a high percentage to lose. If they lowered the price it would generate lots more happy customers willing to pay and not delete the app. Thus in-turn will generate higher profit over time. These developers fail to realise this and will lose lots of money, but more importantly, customers! SJD.Version: 3.22.1
✓ FunI’m really enjoying the game itself and appreciate that I don’t get bombarded with ads all of the time. There’s a good selection of questions and categories. However, I wish that I was able to delete all of my finished games, block other players that I don’t want to play again, and have the option to turn off ‘chat’. This for me would make this game a 5 star..Version: 3.19.1
✓ Don’t get it if you don’t like adsIt’s known that this game is a scam. There are a lot of ads but that’s not the problem, I normally turn off my WIFI and it doesn’t give me ads anymore. It’s just that I saw a lot of people who said that they paid money to not get ads but still got some. I’d love for the creator to answer my review and fix this. You’re stealing money from people, I could literally report your app. I still have it 2 stars because it’s a pretty fun game.Version: 3.29.0
✓ Less ads, developers!It’s a good game, but the sheer AMOUNT of ads is driving me crazy..Version: 3.23.0
✓ Crashing and freezingWhen I first downloaded this game it was super fun and super quick! Although I still really enjoy playing it it keeps freezing and crashing... it freezes when it shows me the results, when it selects categories, when it is spinning to select a letter, it even freezes on my turn filling words... but the timer keeps ticking... all my other apps work perfectly fine... but this one keeps freezing and doesn’t seem to work properly. I gave up and just deleted it because I was loosing the matches because the screen would freeze but still run the time down and I wouldn’t be able to answers the questions... or it would crash mid turn and I’d have to restart my turn all over again. And I gave me the letter W quite often... lol made the game really challenging... but I’m summary... it was a fun game just got tired of it freezing and crashing..Version: 3.16.0
✓ AdsI love this game but it seems like it runs on ads. There are waaaay too many which disrupts gameplay. And I’m sorry but there is no way I am paying $7 to remove ads 😭.Version: 3.29.0
✓ NahThe idea of the game is pretty good, but you kind of ruined it by having an ad every 10 seconds. Also I think you should stop being money hungry and give everyone unlimited hearts so they will be able to play the game for more than 5 minutes. Players shouldn’t be able to stop before at least 10 seconds. Not only that but the game is extremely slow, I thought it was my device but as I left the app to write this review everything is going smoothly again. Basically you have a lot of things to work on, FIX YOUR GAME!!!.Version: 3.13.0
✓ OkayIt’s a very fun game but it is not accurate for example the question was ‘ UK countries beginning with W’ and I put ‘Wales’ the opponent put ‘West Yorkshire’ and I got it wrong and they were correct and won the game Edit: thanks for replying but Wales is one of the 4 countries in the uk and West Yorkshire is not a country , even if Wales was a region and West Yorkshire is a county then both should be wrong not just mine. Also this is not my first time that things like this have happened were they ask about things in the uk or England and I put they right thing and I’m incorrect (I am British) Edit 2: I did report and I am also contacting you right now, and your response is to contact you 🤦♀️.Version: 3.22.1
✓ So much potential...I downloaded this game as soon as I saw an ad for it. That’s pretty rare for me. Unfortunately it has a ton of ads which most of the time you cannot close without quitting the app and starting again. (I know how to close ads and these are not able to be closed.) I went to purchase a version with no ads but it’s $5 which doesn’t sound like a lot but I don’t want to shell out that much money on an app I might get tired of after a day or two. To be honest if it was $2.99 to remove ads I probably would have done it. Maybe I’m too cheap. Anyway just because of the ad issues I can’t see myself playing it anymore. I also don’t like that you can’t see how much time you have when you’re answering questions once someone else has taken their turn. Or if you can see it, I didn’t notice. Lastly I don’t like that people answer two questions and stop the timer after 10 seconds hoping that it takes me that long to get through one question so they can beat me easily. If I knew I only had 10 seconds I would play differently. That’s just my two cents after playing for less than an hour..Version: 3.13.0
✓ Great at first but...This game was in an ad and I thought it would be a fun game to play with friends! So I downloaded it and it was pretty fun. It was exciting because you get to spin the wheel and think of the letter that it landed on. When I was going to play another round, the game said that I needed more lives to play more. It gives you three options: pay $0.99 for a refill of lives that will last you five games, buy infinite lives for $3.99, and watch an ad for one free life. The game offers a refill of lives every thirty minutes but only for a few games that you can play. When you lose a game, you lose a life, which is pretty annoying when you like this game. Deleted right after I saw that you can’t play without lives. Do not buy if you want to delete it right after you get it because the game is pointless without any lives..Version: 3.18.1
✓ AdsI really enjoy this game but it’s huge downfall is every minute an ad pops up and afterwards my screen goes black so I have to constantly restart the app to continue playing.Version: 3.13.1
✓ Too many adsI understand with free apps there will be ads but I felt so overwhelmed with the amount and length of the ads I no longer enjoyed playing the game..Version: 3.13.2
✓ :(Can’t spin the wheel..Version: 3.13.3
✓ This game can be improved3 lives... at least give 5. Too many ads, so annoying and need more categories. Same ones over and over gets boring fast.Version: 3.13.6
✓ Why you got middle of the road ratingI loved this 5 stars when I started BUT now you only get free lives earned listening to adds you only need so many... I quit playing nearly as much because I can’t get coins except by wins and they are useful to get out of categories you hate or worse deal with 60 seconds to come up with a word that starts with X Y or Z.. a good addition would be if you made it where if you paid for a letter to be thrown out that it stays out such as .. I pay to get rid of Z then I spin X so I pay to get rid of it then if I get Z again .. I have to pay a second time to eliminate it. If you won’t let us earn coins on bad ads then at least don’t make us waste the few we get.. Until it goes back the way it started I will always rate it middle of the road bc that’s what makes it middle of the road..Version: 3.12.1
✓ AddictingI downloaded this game yesterday and it is wonderfully, annoyingly addicting. Because of that, I am grateful for the lack of lives we get and the amount of time it takes to reload. I love the game but the ads!!! Good grief! Really?! Ads that last forever and can’t be exited from ALL THE TIME - even in the middle of a round, which eats up the time we have to play that round. Not cool at all! My other concern is that often times an ad will pop up and take me to the App Store. When I try to go back to the game, it becomes a vicious, almost spam like cycle of being forced into the App Store after going back to the game. I do not like that at all!! The only way I have been able to stop that is to exit the game and close it out, which again ruins a round or game. Please fix this!!! I understand the need for ads and the desire to annoy people enough with them that they will purchase the ad free upgrade but we can barely play the game sometimes because of them!.Version: 3.7.0
✓ MediocreIt’s a great game concept, i love scattergories and it’s like it. a major let down is the amount of ads that pop up. it’s way too many. i get that you need ads to make profit but damn decrease the amount a little it’s so frustrating!.Version: 3.11.2
✓ Not the best game -_-꧁Ok so, I’m a primary school/ middle school student who uses their iPad to work. I turn my iPad of and as soon as I turn it on this game spams me. Like I’m just trying to work or relax and it spams me. If I hear that this game stops doing that then I’ll come back and play. I’m sorry if this is harsh. But another thing is when two pop-ups came up I didn’t even press it and yet it just picks allow for me! ᔕOᖇᖇY again if this is harsh. Please try to fix this. Have a nice day, night afternoon, or morning. Bye.꧂.Version: 3.14.0
✓ Fun but plagued by adsIt’s a great game to get you thinking on your toes, however whenever you play any round at all, it shows a non skippable long ad, which most of the time you can’t even close after the ad has finished, causing you to need to quit the app every game just to play. It is also regularly complaining that it can’t connect to game centre whenever I open the app. I’d be more inclined to purchase remove ads if it wasn’t $8 AUD which seems overly excessive. So in summary, it’s a great concept of a game let down by the developer love of throwing ads everywhere to make a buck..Version: 3.13.0
✓ TO MANY ADDSI’m genuinely surprised on how many adds their are anything that you could do makes you watch adds.Version: 3.30.0
✓ GoodIt’s very funny game but too many ads every match even in the middle of it so bad !.Version: 3.13.2
