[R2] NumMatch 4/5 · GB Ads: Ads across the bottom, fine, ads in the middle of a game, no no no.
[R6] NumMatch 3/5 · GB Nice game but too many adverts: Enjoy playing this game and appreciate that I can gain hints through watching an advert, however, adverts start playing when in the middle of the game for no apparent reason, which is becoming increasingly irritating. If this continues, I will delete the whole game.
[R10] NumMatch 2/5 · GB .gameplay: Too many adverts to enjoy the game properly
[R12] NumMatch 3/5 · GB Ads!!!!: This game would be good if there weren’t so many ads. It feels like it more ads than game, extremely frustrating.
[R4] NumMatch 2/5 · GB I like it but it would not link it to facebook….: I have lost the progress in this game at least 2-3 times now and it would not connect my account to facebook. Searched it up on google and apparently it is a common issue. Tried reinstalling and everything and absolutely nothing helps:( shame though….
[R7] NumMatch 1/5 · GB Unplayable: What has the last update done, game now unplayable every time it freezes up and has to be closed down to reboot loosing your progress. Please fix it asap
[R41] NumMatch 1/5 · GB Horrible: I love the game, but all of the sudden it started to redirect me to safari opening random sites. Absolutely horrible!
[R44] NumMatch 4/5 · GB I 💜 this game but…: I absolutely love this game, it really helps me to unwind and switch off BUT it absolutely kills my battery (it heats up considerably too) and the level of ads is ridiculous .
[R1] NumMatch 1/5 · GB Not like the ads: Simple grid, not like the ads
[R3] NumMatch 3/5 · GB I don’t know how to find the rules so playing blind: Good when I get it right but don’t understand it
[R9] NumMatch 3/5 · GB Levels: Each level is more or less the same.
[R18] NumMatch 3/5 · GB Game gets boring after a while: Not the same as the advert when downloading it, it’s just the same game every level apart from the amount of points you need to accumulate, would be better if it was like the advert.
