Stop 2 - Word Trivia Game Reviews

by Apatheticcanteloupe

Played a few rounds of the guess the word game with different categories. Whoever compiled the answers is absolutely insane. Nothing makes any sense. The winning word for the birthday category was art with the second place guess being SPECIFICALLY apple iPhone? Pizza toppings category had the answer of EGG?? Things that ACTUALLY go on a pizza were all in red, and then I guessed cucumbers just to see if it needs to be fully unrelated to the topic and it appears as though it does because cucumbers was in green while cheese and pepperoni and NORMAL TOPPINGS were all in red. I had to give up on every single round because nothing made any freakin sense. Stay away from Stop2 as a whole or at least the guess the word section.

As someone who used to play the original Stop, I was pretty excited for the second one when I saw an ad for it. I was excited for the personalized profiles, mostly. However, this game is nothing but a downgrade. The art style seems to have de-evolved a few decades, and the overall look and function of Stop2 is an unfortunate remake. I think they should have kept the old functionalities and look of everything, but perhaps added some more categories and the previously mentioned personalized profiles.

It’s a fun game, but connecting with friends and via Facebook is impossible. You get tons of errors whenever you try to connect, and on the occasional instance where it appears to work, you will lose all of your friends list when you leave Stop2 and return.

If the developers can fix the lack of Facebook connectivity and volatile friends list, then it would be a great game to play with others you know. Until then, it’s getting a 1 star review.

Today at 7:43 pm pacific standard time, I was playing against Dr. Wizz in arcade mode and one of the categories was “historical people,” and the letter was “E.” I responded with famous black and native American sculpture, Mary Edmonia Lewis. After I finished the round, the answer showed up as wrong. As a part of the native American community I was enraged by this. She was one of the many important women who went from tough times in her life due to racism. This game should show respect to her legacy. I am offended by this game.

I understand ads are necessary to keep the game free but the current frequency of ads just seem excessive. You can’t even view results without ads. And guess what if you pay for the no ads version of the game, there are still ads. Why not call it "less ads"? Also the questions are becoming quite samey. It seems like keeping content fresh should be ongoing. And lastly many correct answers are not scored as such by the game. This is a fun game just a shame it’s such a cash grab.

by Pearl-Lee2021

I got all five answers correct in arcade mode & so did the computer, yet I lost. Why would you give the computer the “r” rare word option? That should only be for us playing. I also had a round in arcade mode that said it was a tie. Doesn’t seem right that you can’t win in arcade mode even if you guess all five correct. It’s like we’re playing slots & gambling but your controlling when we win. That’s doesn’t seem right.

I’m a fan of stop, I had played the first one for a long time(and still do). I’ve paid for all of the benefits in the original and won’t complain. Ever since this release it seems more of a “try hard” to make a great game…. More great? Based on the reviews it seems like this game didn’t get much popularity. Coming from the original stop to this one feels like a joke. I give this one a 2 star because obviously I love stop(hence an extra star from 1). There was no need to make another app for the same game, like literally the same questions too. Also, nothing against the other game modes, but all people want to play is against another REAL person.

The core game is rather fun and did a good job of being engaging. The lives system seemed to limit how much you could play a bit much, so lightening that restriction would help but that's not my main concern here.

The worst part by far was how often you'll need to watch an ad. I get it, you need to profit off of the F2P players and I could live with the occasional ad. However, the oppressiveness of the ads pretty much killed any desire for me to play, or even buy the ad block due to how frustrating the experience was of using Stop2 .

Consider being more flexible in that area.

this game is actually really fun but the ads make it basically unplayable. you only have three lives, and you lose a life every time you play a classic round whether or not you win or lose. the games are only a minute or less so three games goes by so quickly, and then it takes almost half an hour just to get one life back??? its insane. so then you have to watch an ad for every single game to get a life back, and like i said the games are only a minute or less, so youre watching an unskippable ad every minute. not to mention you also get an ad as the round ends!

my recommendations to the developers is to change the system to lose a life only after losing a game. it makes no sense to punish players for winning and playing the game. this combined with shortening the amount of time it takes for lives to regenerate - down to maybe 5 or 10 minutes. 25 minutes for a single life is unreasonable considering how short the games are. fix these things and youd have yourself a great app that people would actually keep downloaded on their phones, thus creating steady long term ad revenue.

Ok, this game looked like so much fun in the ads, but when I downloaded it, it took 30 seconds just for the game to log in! When I click to play an opponent, it takes forever to load! And there are a lot of ads. And the categories are super hard! Overall, it is not a bad game, but could use improvements

Thanks

I love this game but since the last update I’ve been forced to use a laggy, disproportionate in-game keyboard and it’s insufferable. I’ve been spending my time on the NYT app instead 😞

I assume this change has something to do with the native keyboard offering suggestions/spellcheck/swipe. If there isn’t a way for app developers to disable those while in-app, I understand that’s Apple's problem to fix. But please try 😩

by Eviyo

every few rounds when you try to speed up and exit out of the ads, Stop2 freezes and becomes unresponsive. the only solution is to refresh the game, which takes a significant amount of time between exiting out / relaunching / waiting for the game to load / going back to arcade. other than that, the gsme is very enjoyable and i love how you can play arcade rven if you’re out of lives.

by Nobodyami

In the actual game many of us has played, there isn’t so much a wrong answer as not matching the other person, which cancelled out yours. If an answer was wrong, it’s agreed among the players. But when the letter is P and the question is ‘Red Things’ and Paint was deemed wrong? Or for the letter M and “Tomorrow Will Be…” and Mine was deemed wrong. Actually, it was an original answer that the other person would likely not have. But this game seems too many answers wrong, so I’m likely deleting. I did write to Support, I’ll see if they even reply.

Stop2 is super fun and a great way to pass time but the only problem i’ve ran into the fact that you have a certain amount of lives and you have to wait 30 minutes for one life. if your goal was to make players not want to play or just forget about your app in general then you are doing a great job at it because i’m not going to wait 3 hours for full lives. and if you want more lives you have to pay because of course, you can’t have fun is you don’t have money! and yeah you can watch an add but no one wants to sit through a 45 second add to get one life. the sad thing is i have at least 8 of these kind of cash grab apps too.

by MissJanei

I like this game , it’s fun to play if I’m having trouble sleeping. But , if I’m playing the secret word game and the category is animals , if I put hippopotamus and it’s a word above it the correct answer should not be hippo. Aren’t those the same animals? It seems like you get very close to the correct word then a word or place / animal / thing you’ve never heard of is the right one. Again , I like the game it just frustrates me when that happens.

by Drewgb

I enjoy thinking of words within 1 minute. Don't always get it though. However, when I play a "random opponent", I notice when it shows my words and points after 1 minute it sometimes "waiting"for the other "player." A few minutes later, it shows their word. How come that "player" gets extra time? Also, there are a lot of ads... sometimes way to long. Improve some things and I'll raise the ⭐️

by Bggymnast

The game itself is fun and the mini-games are a nice addition from the original Stop, but there are definitely things that still need work. Matches only lasting one round is ridiculous, getting categories that aren’t specific to your region isn’t fair, not being able to choose a category if you’re required to use coins, and this last update has made the keyboard the most god awful thing. Please change the keyboard back. There are still times I wonder if going back to the original Stop is the way to go.

by LillianaEvalina

This was my favorite game to play to pass time. The reason for the 3 stars, I can no longer play Arcade, I finished all my tasks and the game will not let me restart. I’ve been waiting 2 months for a game update to fix the issue.
I played Mystery yesterday, and now, it’s not showing up to play.
IT’s frustrating when you can’t play your favorite game.
Please fix !

by Alicecooper91

A fun game, but anyone who isn’t from England is at a slight disadvantage. There’s a particular recurring question about Tube stations, which I’m not sure why/how anyone who hasn’t been to England would know and I’m sure the vast majority of the world has not. There’s nothing wrong with that, I just wish it were a bit more obvious from the get-go that this is a British game as it’s a bit frustrating to have to take wild guesses.

by Miller Twin R

I like playing against real people. That’s why it kind of blows that i only have up to 3 minutes of play time then have to wait for an hour and a half before all my lives are filled.
Also, y’all need to make bigger buttons to type on. Keyboard’s worse than an iPhone keyboard.
Other than that, it’s a great game.

by M410bry

I love this game and play it ad nauseam, but it annoys me that I’ve earned over 40,000 (closer to 50,000) diamonds and there’s nothing to spend them on. A few stop memes, and a half dozen frames. Why not have an option to use the diamonds for more lives (I purchased unlimited, but others may like the option) or upgraded avatars, or something? You guys are the creatives. 😊 Another suggestion would be to retire categories and add new ones every so often. Or just keep adding new ones. Red or green things? Why not add yellow or brown? 🤪 I enjoy the Facebook group, too.

This is a great game that causes you to really think outside the usual word puzzle box. But my complaint about this game is the ads. Ads and more ads. Oh and did I mention there are a lot of ads. And it not just the ads but it’s the here’s the ad. Oh you didn’t click to get what we’re pushing. Wait maybe now. No, how about now. Well ok. I guess we’ll let you get back to the game. All of this while you are tracking me across the internet to see what I like and don’t like. Please no is no. I shouldn’t have to say it three times before you get it.
I know you have to make your paper but I don’t like to repeat a no. How many people actually give in on the third chance to change their minds?

by Mr Feedback125

This is a great game. I don’t get tired of playing and get bored. I keep coming back for more gameplay with friends. I really like how you can challenge anyone. BUT I have one complaint. The hearts, preventing you from playing more games with other people and only with bots. I think that you should get rid of them or be able to earn them back in arcade and marathon. That second one is probably the best idea, to where you can loose hearts, but still earn them back. Please put this in consideration on a update. Love the game! Thank you

by Mrtrytoactcool

Why in the world does one match cost me one heart? It used to be that one loss cost me a heart, which seemed way more fair. Unfortunately, now I can really only play like three games because of the dumb decision to have one game make me lose one heart. I’m not sure about losses since I haven’t lost yet, but I honestly don’t wanna know. This game is fine, but I don’t like the new heart system. Kinda prefer the first game over this game.

by Herbinberbert

i love this game. so much. the fun of this game (in my opinion) is being able to play with my friends. most of my friends live far away so i love being able to keep in touch with them.

i get the reasoning of not wanting spam and too many lives, but i think the arcade mode that doesn’t require lives can be frustrating because the fun part of the game is the option to play with friends. we play for like 2 minutes and then run out of lives. i can understand the hesitance with it, however i think a few more lives, or other options to exchange gems for them would be helpful or something.

thanks

The game is definitely fun and challenging. The only problem is that it is so easy to get diamonds but you really cannot do anything with them. Once you get all the themes and stop characters, you just collect them. You should be able to trade them in for coins, extra spins and/or changing our catergories.

by Sexycata

Although the ads can be frustrating, there isn’t hundreds of them. I love this game. It is definitely less laggy than “Stop 1.” You definitely need to get this! It makes you think and it’s challenging and fun!

by Rawrel

Stop 2 is a amazing game all the time I have been playing and winning all time and I been playing stop 2 for 2 years and I love this game a lot
