1. [R6] Connect Word Association Game 3/5 · US Connect Word: The game is great but there are ENTIRELY TOO MANY APPS!!! Please offer a paid version so we can enjoy the game and not interrupt the flow of the game. I would’ve given it a 5 star but the pop ads make it a 3 star. It’s very challenging and fun.
2. [R23] Connect Word Association Game 4/5 · US Great game: One of the best word association games available right now. The difficulty is just right. Would be easily a 5-Star rating if there was an option to pay for no ads. One feature I’m not the biggest fan of is how the tiles cascade down when you complete a row and new tiles are added to the board. If you’ve already started grouping other words together, the cascading tiles messes up the ot
3. [R69] Connect Words 3/5 · US Needs More: It’s not bad. Definitely fun for the first few plays but the words don’t change much & are reused often, so you pretty much can memorize the connections. The colors also do not reflect the difficulty of the categories, which would be nice to see. Overall, not bad for a while, but needs some updating with new words.
4. [R108] Connect Words 3/5 · US Good but repetitive: This is a great clone of the NYT puzzle game. It’s really fun at first but after playing it about 30-50 times you see a lot of the same categories coming up over and over. By the time you’ve played it 100 times you don’t need to think about it anymore and the fun wears off.
5. [R10] Connect Word Association Game 1/5 · US Developers are Needy: I enjoy the game but it constantly asks you for a review after each game. Even if you give a review it asks again and again and again…
6. [R22] Connect Word Association Game 1/5 · US Keep getting pop-ups to rate the app: I like the game, but am getting sick of being asked to rate it every time I finish a level.
7. [R64] Connect Words 2/5 · US Was fun till ads: I despise ads. Especially ones that pause my music. Wouldve been 4 stars if you had silent ads. 5 starts is only for apps that make ads optional so not you lol
8. [R75] Connect Words 3/5 · US Ads: Too many adds after two rounds and even after one. And we don’t need 30-second ads to know we don’t want an app!
9. [R3] Connect Word Association Game 3/5 · US Game stops: This is a fun game but it freezes and it has too many ads
10. [R60] Connect Word Association Game 3/5 · US Glitches don’t let you go to the next level: Love the game but a glitch on the bonus category keeps me from advancing. The answers are pretty obvious but nothing works. Have tried any combination that could remotely be a different answer with no luck. I’m stuck playing the daily challenges.
11. [R70] Connect Words 1/5 · US Stuck on a hard one: I’ve been stuck on the same bunch of words and I can’t get past the level (hard level). It would be great if you could actually ditch one and get a fresh screen.
12. [R82] Connect Words 1/5 · US Fun game, poor app: Great game but playing in the app I understand we need to go thru ads. Don’t like it but I get it. However I’ve tried downloading the app twice and both times it gets stuck on the first ad. No matter what I do I can’t get past it without killing the app and restarting. It’s too annoying to keep using it so I’ve deleted it.
13. [R27] Connect Word Association Game 3/5 · US Get rid of ads please!: Wish there was a way to get rid of the ads.. super annoying for such a good and challenging game
14. [R106] Connect Words 1/5 · US No option for Ad Free: Wanted to keep the app but there is no ad-free option. Ridiculous.
15. [R112] Connect Words 1/5 · US Ads are brutal: Game is great, but the ads are just too much. I’d pay to make them go away, but there’s no option.
16. [R28] Connect Word Association Game 1/5 · US Seriously…: This game could be amazing but OMG the ads! And now they added a button so you can “earn while playing.” SCAM!!! Are you kidding me?!? We have continuously asked Hitapps for an options to pay to remove ads and always get a form letter answer “we are looking into it.” Blah, blah, blah! There are other games like this that don’t have near as many ads. Just being honest… (Update) Sti
17. [R34] Connect Word Association Game 1/5 · US Unbelievable amount of ads: Every review response is the same. You are keeping it free and trying to balance ads with gameplay. Well, you are not achieving that balance. The game is awesome, I would gladly pay to remove ads. But that’s not an option and you say you are working on it. But that was months and months ago. Ridiculous to be interrupted over 3 times per level. Greedy. And your response
18. [R109] Connect Words 1/5 · US Greedy with ads: Ads are way too long.
19. [R115] Connect Words 2/5 · US Trojan horse: This is basically a fake app designed to trojan horse ad delivery. Really long unskippable ads after nearly every level, no paid version, and the puzzles are very repetitive. Could be fun if there was a way to go ad free and there were more variations.
