Cryptogram Tale for Negative User Reviews

✓ I’m so upset :(I’ve taken quite a liking to the game, and have been playing it quite a bit at night. Yet recently, all of my progress had been deleted. I was heartbroken that everything had reset after the effort that I had put in. I had almost completed another story too :( The story’s are so intriguing, although many I’ve played are quite dark. The mechanics are wonderful, and are easy to use and understand. Truly, the only reason my review had been placed at 2 stars was because of all of my progress deleting. I hope this can be fixed and that this doesn’t happen in the future :(.TeecuppzVersion: 9.12

✓ Complete and utter confusionWhat do you want me to do in this god forsaken game..Brodoswaggins64Version: 9.9

✓ Not beginner friendlyI’ve never done a cryptogram before, and I think there should have been a better introduction to the different ciphers, there should also tell what cipher it is as a hint,.NoofedVersion: 9.12

✓ Started out great…The app started out great. It was a fun way to pass the time. The tales are interesting. They aren’t impossibly hard to solve. Earning hints was easy (just watch an ad or two). But the last couple of days I’ve not been able to earn any hints because of the placement of the close button on the ads. I play on my phone and the close button is in the upper right hand corner. It’s happened quite a few times before. I would simply close the app, reopen it, and watch a different video. But like I said, for the last couple of days, the only videos I get are ones with the close button where I can’t click it. It’s been at least a year since the last update, so I’m not hopeful about getting another one soon enough to solve this issue. I’d rate this higher if I could properly utilize all of the features.Phoenix1080Version: 9.13

✓ Needs more mature taste in literatureAn excellent idea with a couple of flaws, both related to the choice of texts. The first is that unless there are some peculiar features in a passage, they’re rarely difficult to solve—pull out A and I, and then look for a likely THE. Then, since you already know the general subject of the passage, the solution is usually pretty obvious. But I can see how some people would find this a virtue—it can be relaxing to knock off a series of easy puzzles. The second flaw relates to the developer’s taste in literature. The selections aren’t bad, exactly, but they’re all the sort of stories that appeal particularly to teenage boys. I find myself groaning (and often skipping to the next one) as soon as I recognize the text, usually on the first page. Selections chosen by someone with more mature literary taste would be very welcome..ReadingaloudVersion: 8.4

✓ AdsWhen did they add ads to this? The ads keep showing up after evey line. Its making it unplayable. And why is it $5 to get rid of ads? I used to like this game but now its just sad..Shen274Version: 9.13

✓ I don't even know where to start.First off they are titled things like classic 2 classic 47 or such like that and I don't know what the actual title of the story is.... then you can sort by author but they don't say who the author is so that doesn't help. And if you pick a story despite all that they don't give you the key letter that helps you even begin in the right direction of solving it properly..SherlcokPsychVersion: 9.2

✓ Closing adsI have iPhone XR, and there are some ads I can not close because the X are at the very top corner overlapping the time or power are displayed. So I am forever closing the app and opening it again so I can continue playing. Please look into this and make sure all ads are closable..LittleMissShy88Version: 9.9

✓ Too many adsThe amount of ads gets ridiculous pretty quickly..ShoulderHawkVersion: 8.4

✓ Fun, but...Errors are accepted and you have to use hints to find mistakes. You quickly run out of hints and then have to earn them by watching videos. Automatic ad videos earn nothing but annoyance....MySmallWorldVersion: 9.2

✓ Great game but can’t close adsI really like the game - quirky stories, good functionality. HOWEVER, the ads lock up the game CONSTANTLY! It is ridiculously frustrating and I’m now looking for an alternative game. Please fix this issue! The last update said this was fixed but it’s just getting worse..32takethisreviewVersion: 9.7

✓ Just deleted all of my progress 🤬Yesterday, I would have given this game 5 stars, or honestly more if the rating system allowed. I play this nightly. I’ve finished nearly 20 stories and love getting to read all of these books that I never would have picked up on my own. The added puzzle element is a fun addition. However, when I opened the app this evening, all of my progress was lost. According to the game, I haven’t done a single sentence of a single story. I am incredibly disappointed..NeybugletVersion: 9.12

✓ Fun but........ads. So many ads...... would give 5 star otherwise.ShannonvilVersion: 9.10

✓ Has some issuesIt’s a cool idea and worth checking out, but it’s not as well made as I’d like. The keyboard should open when you select a letter. The default font is poorly rendered – I suggest switching fonts if that bothers you. There is no “undo” button, which would be very useful. The fact that capitalized words are revealed, but only after you enter the first letter, is a bit weird. Worst though – the stories aren’t consistently well-suited to be cryptograms. I’ve run into several problems already playing the first story on the hardest mode: There was a name with a middle initial that didn’t appear elsewhere in the segment, so there’s no way to figure that out other than guessing letters one by one. Long conversations make the segments too easy because of the repeated phrases like “said the orderly.” The story has a long list of made-up slang terms, which made several segments near impossible, because they had no common words and few real words..Duncan M McKeeVersion: 9.13

✓ Makes no sense!Maybe I’m just not that smart but I can’t make head nor tail of this game! The difficulty doesn’t change at all when I go from easy to hard, there are absolutely no prefacing texts to help you out (as shown in the app store photos), and there seems to be no theme to the letters whatsoever? It just makes nonsense words even with hints..A.Bennett99Version: 9.9

✓ Trigger warnings?The puzzles are fine, but it really needs trigger warnings. The first puzzle I got was a really dark Kurt Vonnegut story that ends with a bunch of murder suicides. There was no warning or summary or anything before starting the puzzle. They don’t even tell you the name of the story so you can look it up yourself. This could really mess with someone’s head and hurt someone..TypicalbrunetteVersion: 9.12

✓ Shame about the American EnglishThis makes it harder for those who spell words the correct way..Mother's Little HelpersVersion: 9.13

✓ Super long and frequent adsGreat game but it’s constantly running super long ads. Some of the ads are over 30 seconds long and they appear after every passage is solved and when asking for hints. It seems when you watch an ad for a hint, those ads are annoyingly long. Going to finish the story I’m working on and then deleting this app, the ads just make it unbearable. Also, this app tracks your location (I don’t remember agreeing to it but that’s on me) as it runs super long ads targeted to your area..ReyninnieVersion: 9.13
