I love this game

Another update: they have fixed the game pausing problem, Yay! But from some other reviews I see, they have added ads in the middle of games. I will not be upgrading until they make it a requirement. Who has time to watch many 30 second ads? I would pay a one-time fee to stop the ads gladly. This is an update from my first review. I still love the game but it keeps pausing, locking up, and causing mistakes. It is very frustrating and I am getting to the point where I may have to stop playing for a while until it is fixed. This game is so well made. It is fun and educational to play. My only wish is that it does not become so difficult that it is no longer fun. I want it to be a challenge but not impossible. Thank you.

I’d have to say this is the best

Although it is the best of its kind , it has a few problems. So let me explain. First the good #1 this is absolute best to give the senior brain a workout. I ‘m 70 and play this minimum 1 hour every day. Just depends how bad I want to "get back to Minecraft. Days like today’s it’s been 3 hours. I do find since playing this, my poor little l brain is faster at remember facts, remembering the name of things I’m talking about. (You’ll understand that when u r 70.) good for brain, reminding u of good times like going to theater to see gone with the wind. All-in-all, lots of fun. Bad things: (related to being a senior and makes me angry at the game. Main reason I don’t play longer). It tries to help U out by jumping to a different spot in the puzzle thinking u want to click that spot. But I figured it out so I’m filling it in, in order. I move fast and by the time I realize it, I’m at the top of screen instead of bottom and I click my letter in but it is now a the bottom of the page and I gat a no-no “X” I don’t deserve. Many times this happensmore than once and I get undeserved 3 “x’s” and have to watch a stupid ad. That is usually when I leave to play Minecraft. I don’t like being punished when it is the games fault. Please, please fix that. Then I’ll come back and give u 5 stars and a raving review. Have a wonderful day.

Annoyed

So three updates and still, you haven’t fixed a glaring issue, which is no ability to go from the everyday daily puzzle back out to either of the bonus puzzles, do you do no testing at all on your app before you release it because there’s no way somebody wouldn’t have noticed this. It’s been through at least two releases that this has been happening. The other issue is who thought 13 days for a mystery game a was sufficient for what’s going to be around I’m betting 100 puzzles. I don’t know the exact number cause I’m on stage four and there’s 25 and just stage four there weren’t that many in the previous ones but they’ve been escalating in numbers so I can only anticipate stage five is going to be 25 or more. And I’m sure I’m playing more than average per day and I’m doing three or more puzzles a day and I’m not sure I’m gonna make it within 13 days again who market tested these things before it feels like no one or someone who is got nothing else to do and they just expect somebody to play from the time they get up in the morning till the time they go to bed that’s ridiculous. The other thing that’s not working is Bonuses after you win getting the extra letters the lightbulb hence now I don’t generally need them and yes, I’ve got a few stock piled, but I still should be getting them even though I’m winning on occasion it’s probably been two weeks even though I’m winning every day four or five puzzles or more, I’m getting nothing in return other than the answer.

Favorite game

OK, this is got to be my most favorite game of ever. I love the challenges. I love the daily challenges the holiday challenges the quotes and the sayings are my favorite. I share one quote and one saying to my daughter every day. And she loves it. I pick out certain ones from the game and I share them with her and it’s just a little thing we do with each other we all bond in different ways but anyways, I just want to thank you for the game. Keep it going. Don’t change nothing. I love it ,no complaining I’ll watch ads all day to be able to keep playing the game for free mind You ,everybody that complains about ads. It’s free. Anyways my favorite game of all time and the longest game I have had so thank you

Scam ad

I have enjoyed your game immensely, but have trouble with your game not accepting new letters, then because i have had to push/select the same letter twice, it will fill the next two empty spaces causing an error. This happens on all longer puzzles. Even moving away from yourgame and reselecting it does not fix the problem. I was extremely disappointed to see a SCAM ad this morning (11/3) for Joanns closing. Joanns completely closed a few months ago. There are no deals left. A neighbor lost over $100 on a similar ad. While i keep hearing you cannot select your ads, letting your sponsors use absolute scams is truly unthinkable!!!

Was five stars until….

I thoroughly enjoyed playing Colorwood Words… until very recently. Of course there are far too many ads interrupting play, however, more frustrating is how glitchy and jumpy the game has become. This causes errors while trying to enter a letter on the board. Perhaps it is due to the fairly new small Google ads that are constantly running at the bottom of the screen?? Either way, it is beginning to make me not want to play the game any longer. Another new and very frustrating problem is the game will stop at 98% while loading. It hangs and will not complete opening of the app. The only way to remedy this is by resetting network settings on my phone. I did not wish to do that each time I open the app, as this is very frustrating and time-consuming. It’s too bad really, because the game is otherwise very enjoyable.

Fun game, but number of ads will test your patience

Before the developer tells me ads is how they make money, they must be greedy or don't pay well as with the number of ads you'll encounter. Bottom of the screen is a static ad, that's fine. Entering a level plays an ad, that's fine, too. Now this is where they really push it - use up your three lives/guesses? Ad. Finish the level? Ad. It even gets to the point where it starts to play ads IN THE MIDDLE of the level. Four ads MINIMUM just to play ONE level. Even in a perfect world, you'll encounter the same cycle; static ad, start game, video ad, try to solve the quote, get a (or multiple) ads, beat level, video ad, start new level, video ad. Not even the option to either disable ads forever or through a dumb weekly subscription. A simple game should not have this many ads.

Freezing

Colorwood Words is one of the better “new” word games I’ve found in a while. The problem I have is, about every 10-15 letters, the game freezes. Nothing short of coding the game will hurry the game back to play mode. Usually it’s only for a minute or so but, I have had to close the game about 4-5 times to get it up and going again. I have closed the game, turned my phone off and refreshed the app. None of these have worked more than just restarting the game. I have reached level 127. The first 100 or so had no problem.
