I totally understand it’s a free app driven by ads, but players should have the option to have the ads muted. So I’m nervous that I will fall asleep during a game and then my alarms won’t go off. Doesn’t really help with the whole “relaxation” part. I have the sounds turned off on the game itself but it doesn’t mute the ads. I find myself having to play a game and the quickly turn my phone on silent for the ad and then turn it back to normal after the ad. I can’t put my phone on silent because I have to have alarms for the morning and my infant sleeps in our room. It seriously helps me relax to go to bed. I play, then delete the game because it is not ios friendly with my version of ios at least! On my husband's old iPhone 5, we never were bombarded with ads or bugs. The ads are too long and frequent on newer OS. It makes my other apps nonfunctional, requires me to restart my phone. Sometimes for a second sometimes so long I have to close the game. It freezes while I try to put pieces into place. Screen grabs won’t reveal anything because how do I screen grab my other apps crashing? After this review, I deleted WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame and haven’t reinstalled because with the ads and bugs it was too painful. I don’t want to have to restart an app multiple times during a game or have to restart my phone because WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame causes all other apps to crash. That is exactly the problem with the all. I left the below review and the developers told me to force close WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame or restart my device. But don’t use it if you don’t want to basically get bombarded with sound for annoying ads every time you start and end a game. that’s 1 minute of your life wasted on garbage any time you want to play a game. Some are better stoppable ads but a lot of them blast sound even when your phone is on mute and sound turned all the way down. Then once I updated WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame this week. Usually a 30 second battery sucking video it forces you to watch without option to skip. I have had WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame for about 3 months and before I updated WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame it was an annoyance to see the ads after losing a game. I would rather have an option to buy WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame. I subtracted a star because like most people the ads are super overwhelming to me. Just fantastic to wind down or pass time waiting in a waiting room etc. It leaves me with the impression it’s designed to encourage losing so they can show the ads (or get you to pay for a subscription). The randomizer is not right, and that is one thing I do not tolerate in games. Which, yes, should happen on rare occasions, but not every 20-30 draws. Why, then, do I go through stretches where every other draw has duplicate pieces? Why do I frequently get draws where the pieces are all the same shape (big L-shaped)? Of course, I’m not mentioning the times I get three pieces all the same. The probability of two pieces the same is then roughly 2.5%. Off the top of my head, there are at least 19 pieces, which is about a 5% chance I get a specific piece. Yes, it should happen from time to time but it shouldn’t happen almost half the time. The thing is I know something about probability and the probability that two or more of the three pieces you draw should be the exact same is pretty low. I rarely go for conspiracy-type thinking but when you combine the number/length of ads (which show up when you lose) with the non-random nature at which the pieces appear, then maybe there’s something there. Their goal at times appears to be to show you more adds than time spent playing. Yes, as others have noted, the ads can be excessive. Did I say it’s a FUN game? Thanks for providing free option to play :D Just thought I should provide feedback for the developers. I understand that “free” is not free and the ads won’t prevent me from playing this game. Anyway, overall a very fun game! Gave 4 stars because ads are rather long considering the frequency & that several of the ads don’t actually load a way to “x” out, even after waiting-the ads only load an “->” which then boots you over to the advertised app in WoodyBlockPuzzleBrainGame Store. Also I tried to give feedback on the scoring through that “have a question” option but it’s an automated “let’s-play-20-questions-first-before-you-can-select-the ‘nope none of the above,’” But.to SEND the question, you have to provide your email address without any info avail on what is done w the email address(privacy & retention policy). No big deal-it is just a game, but thought it was weird.thought maybe it was just me imagining I had been seeing 10points per block, lol, so looked up Q&A. It’s only scoring 1 (one) point per block now. A couple days ago, I noticed scoring is no longer 10 points for each block as stated in game Q&A. This has been a fun game for last week or so.
