Woodle Screw Reviews

It is ridiculous reading the others reviews, they are sooo fake! But off course I downloaded after reading them! Right?
Every 15 second game you must see at least 2 LONG ads, not between one level and the other, but in each level to be able to complete it, as this is the only way to complete any level after just few.
In at level 20 and deleting.

I sincerely loved this game, played almost every day, even reached the 400 levels. However, I noticed around level 200 every time I played a level, my phone would be forced to open my Safari and a page would open where it would “scan my phone” and tell me I had no virus protection and needed to install McAfee. There was a different ad where it would do the same thing but tell me I already had a virus. This is a very obvious scam, and thankfully I am aware enough to not fall for it, but this is a horrible thing to do in a game. Will be uninstalling because this is just ridiculous.

I was actually enjoying the game for at least a few levels. They were slightly challenging but easy OCD brain soother, but not impossible with time limits & monster ads just to get any where.. UNTIL during the game it just opens up a Google window showing scans & threats of virus, etc. I cleared it all out at first thinking it was an ad until it wouldn’t stop! DELETE! I’m not playing games with sketchy ads or bugs! I hope my phone will be ok. Be wary!!

They make it physically impossible to beat a singular level without watching ads and without even tapping the screen it takes you into your browser onto a virus site the four stars are botted heed my warning. I tried to see if I was just bad at the game at first but after hours and hours it is simply impossible to beat without watching ads and to see others others agreeing is telling. Waste of time.

This is a fun addicting game. As the levels get harder you can choose to watch an add for extra chances to beat the level. However, periodically my web browser will pop up on its own with a “virus” scanner telling me my phone has a virus. This only ever happens on WoodleScrew. I made it to level 231 before deciding to delete because I’m not comfortable with how often this happens and the game is not made fair enough to best levels without having to watch ads all the time.

I saw someone else say their is an embedded virus in this game and I just wanted ppl to know this is true. The same thing happened to me. So shady! I also deleted WoodleScrew .

I was playing the level (not an ad) and randomly my web browser opened into a website saying I had no virus protection and wanted me to download one. I closed it, started the level over again to see what triggered it. I was playing like normal and it randomly did it again. If you have already downloaded this, I highly recommended you delete it immediately.

I love the concept. I get that they need ads. However, once you pass a certain level at the beginning, you are CONSTANTLY given ads. Every time you get stuck, you have ads. And often times after one ad, I place down one screw, and I am literally stuck again. For every level, you are getting up to 4 ads. And they are LONG ads. They are up to 30 second ads sometimes, one right after another. It’s just not worth it. Usually I put up with things much longer than this, but I feel like the entire game is an ad (except the first few minutes of each level)

The game is really cute, I appreciate how long the levels can take. However, very early on there are many levels where it is almost impossible to pass without having to watch an ad for another box, and there is at least one ad that is glitchy and just keeps running on a loop with no way to stop it. I have to close out of WoodleScrew , and then it doesn’t give me the extra box that I was trying to get by playing it. Too many stinking ads in normal play as well, they get really old.

This game is the best one of these I've played, but when I got past level 150 I started noticing my browser would periodically open up and fake scanning my iPad files, then push me to buy McAfee security software. This is a scam. McAfee already warns users to avoid this scam. The issue only happens when I’m playing this game so it’s specific to WoodleScrew. It appears I’ll have to delete it and look for one that doesn’t have scam ads.

Too bad because this really is a fun game.

I like the game, however, there are a couple of things that have made me angry enough to write this review. First, it has cheated me out of points over and over. I go through the levels and get the chest to the 100% filled, watch the full ad, then it crashes when I x out of the ad and I don’t get my points and it’s back at 0%. I’d appreciate this getting fixed. Second, pretty much every level you have to watch at least two full ads to win the level unless you have a lot of points to use, but as I was saying earlier, I keep getting cheated out of my points. You can’t X out of the ads either, you have to watch the whole ad. Seems greedy to me. I would give this game 5 stars except those complaints have made the game frustrating

This game could be fun but they make it IMPOSSIBLE to complete a level without having to watch ads. Went to level 29 and I bet I have spent over 2 hours watching ads to pass levels. The suitcases they give you is not the color you need to place screws. I’m not paying money to buy items needed to get rid of screws you don’t need. On almost every level, you need four suitcases and they give you two, so that’s a minimum of 1-2 minutes of ads, then you have ads between every level. I might have considered buying for ad free but it’s still impossible to pass levels without spending money or watching ads. Deleting this game now! Greed gets you deleted.

Very much enjoy the game play.

BUT randomly, every 20 to 30 seconds, it calls my default browser, which of course takes over the screen immediately. I changed browsers and it still calls whatever I set as default. I enjoy the game, but the constant intrusion of my browser is maddening. If they don't publish a fix soon, I'm gonna quit playing it and find something else.

It’s a good game with a clean pro interface, but there is no option to remove the interstitial ads. Ads appear between each and every level and are as long or longer than the level gameplay. A one-time option to remove non-reward ads, or at least uninterrupted gameplay for five or so consecutive levels would resolve this.

This game is really fun! It’s addicting until you realize you have to watch long ads for extra boxes. Good game concept, but, ruined by watching more ads than playing. The developers aren’t going to have people who want to stay long on this game as the long ads every round just ruin the whole game. I could see 5 second ads making players want to stay. But, it gets boring quickly not being able to really play the actual game. I only downloaded this last night. I’ve already lost interest due to spending more time watching ads than playing the game.

The game is fun. It’s great. The only problem I have is as soon as you clear level four you have an ad after every single level. I understand ads are what pays for it but come on after every level. The level takes about 10 seconds so you’re watching an ad every 10 seconds which is ridiculous. There are games out there that only have you watch ads if you want special content or extra coins, and those games are free. So using the reason for so many ads is so you can keep the game free is not correct. Like I said, it’s a fun game but the ads that automatically come up after every level starting at level five is something that I can’t handle so I will be deleting this game sorry.

Quite fun! Stimulates the part of the brain that deals with spatial relationships, mechanics, and the use of tools. I would think that this would help children achieve better marks on their STEM homework and projects. Think of this game as a ‘brain warmup, rather like stretching before you do gymnastics.

A great ‘screw’ game! The shapes are interesting. The play is enjoyable. The ads (except bonus item ads) can be skipped after a few seconds. You truly can play this for free. I love games that can be played free~these are the ones I will support with my limited funds, and promote with positive reviews.

I really like the game. Challenging enough to keep me interested but not impossible to keep going. You’re not forced to spend money to buy success. A few ads, but nothing over the top. Some of the ads are your choice to. You don’t have to watch, but I do for a little help in dine cards and a break for the brain.

I like playing this sort of game and tried 7 different games before finding this one. It’s the BEST of them all. Interesting images. Most ads can be skipped within seconds. Doesn’t overheat my phone.

I can surprisingly say this is a really great game. Puzzles are challenging and the only time you watch an ad is if you need another box or want to use one of the tools you don’t already have. Pretty infrequently.
