- [R1] Woodber Ads are too much: Good game but the ads are too much. Sometimes 4 and 5 minutes before the Royal Match/Royal Kingdom ads allow you to X out. Sometime you have to watch 2 ads to progress. Developers - surely you can do better by us.
- [R6] Woodber Ads are relentless: Good game, challenging but interesting. But the ads are relentless and I mean they pop-up multiple times during the course of around. If you leave your screen untouched for 10 to 15 seconds next time you touch, there is an ad, and I mean the ads are long. The ads ruin gameplay. I could understand if there’s an ad at the end of each round but not multiple times over the course o
- [R13] Woodber The ads are INSANE: Every single time you minimize the game to do something on your phone an ad plays when you reopen; and I mean EVERY TIME so even if you JUST watched an ad, another one plays just for reopening the game. Then, they even added mini ads that play sound you can’t turn off in the bottom corner of the game WHILE YOURE PLAYING. So it is not relaxing at all. I had to delete it. Unplaya
- [R17] Woodber Too many ads: This game would be awesome if it weren’t for the ads. 30 seconds of play, then 1 1/2 - 2 minutes of ads plus your device locks up. I really liked it but I’m sure there’s better out there and if these ads are a ploy to get me to pay for ad free…..sorry, no dice.
- [R2] Woodber Too many ads: Loved the game pre IOS 26. It doesn’t play well at all with the new system. Lags, crashes or freezes. And, yes, way too many ads. Please make it compatible with IOS 26.
- [R3] Woodber Nice: Love this game just lags REALLY bad. Fix this and I’ll up my stars. (Lags as in when I press a box it takes a while to register)
- [R7] Woodber Love it but it doesn’t work: I’ve downloaded it 5 different times. I love it! But it lasts about 3 days and then stalls… delete … reinstall… 5 times. Every single time it crashes. I’m so glad I never made a purchase. I had been seriously thinking about it.
- [R29] Woodber Until you update for Tahoe: Those of us who update can’t open the game. Way to stay up on your apps. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled. Woodber STILL won’t open.
- [R12] Woodber Updated Review: 3rd time this is happened. I bought an ad free version I love. Been playing for several year and easy to play while listening to audio books. I loved the Journeys that had harder challenges and now not seen a Journey in several weeks and playing the classic game the 1st 2 stages are “Classic” them the 3rd one is a different format. I can’t do that hard one and concentrate on audio
- [R37] Woodber You’ll watch ads one way or another….: Don’t be lured into paying the additional $10 bucks to get ad free, you won’t. You’ll be watching ads for features you normally get for free if you play on YouTube.
- [R39] Woodber Non mutable audio ads: Deleted
- [R16] Woodber Great game: Fun and challenging. Only suggestion would be an undo option.
- [R18] Woodber I LOVE this game…: This game is challenging and addicting. The only suggestion I have is something I think would make it even better than it is. Often, I make a move, and immediately realize that there was a better move. If each level had one “Undo” that would be great, and like the extra lines and hints, you could watch ads for additional undos.
- [R35] Woodber Not enough apples: On the levels where you need to match the apples before you win, there’s often not enough apples given to win the challenge. I hope that makes sense, the game wants me to match 15 fruits, but is only giving me 10-11 each time a try to play.
- [R43] Woodber Audio ads DURING play?!?!: Despite having game sound off, I’m getting frequent audio ads for Lysol while actually playing the game. It’s ridiculous. Deleting.
