  1. [R5] Woodber 5/5 · US Woodber-Classic Number Game: Very interesting thinking game
  2. [R11] Woodber 5/5 · US Oddly Relaxing: I have no Clue why but the concept of this game is very relaxing and I finally might go to sleep
  3. [R12] Woodber 3/5 · US 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
  4. [R16] Woodber 4/5 · US Great game: Fun and challenging. Only suggestion would be an undo option.
  5. [R2] Woodber 4/5 · US 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.
  6. [R3] Woodber 3/5 · US 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)
  7. [R7] Woodber 2/5 · US 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.
  8. [R29] Woodber 1/5 · US 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.
  9. [R1] Woodber 1/5 · US 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.
  10. [R4] Woodber 1/5 · US Typical: Typical bait and switch… Ad format is not an option… if I wanted to play the square format, there’s umpteen thousand available… deleted… moved on
  11. [R6] Woodber 3/5 · US 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
  12. [R41] Woodber 1/5 · US The ads keep freezing: Listen I really love this game but every other ad will not get my screen. There’s no option to close and get back to the game. So I have to keep force shutting down the app. Please fix it so I can keep playing this game
  13. [R50] Woodber 2/5 · US Ad glitch!! Please fix it: Love the game and it’s really addictive, but lately it freezes up when it plays a ad. You have to do a restart on the game multiple times. It’s not my iPad. I know that for sure. I ran a diagnostic and also multiple hard starts. Please fix it. Also, sick and tired of mushroom and coffee company ad! I’ve hit ‘not interested’ 100x now and it keeps playing it!
  14. [R13] Woodber 1/5 · US 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
  15. [R17] Woodber 1/5 · US 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.
  16. [R37] Woodber 1/5 · US 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.
  17. [R45] Woodber 1/5 · US Obnoxious Ads: I get it that ads pay bills. However, this App needs to curb the length of them! Waiting 1-2 minutes through an ad is over the top. The game is fun. I even paid for ad free. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean ad free…..
