This endpoint will provide you with feedback data on applications listed on the App Store platform, including review ratings, review content, user profile info of each reviewer, review publication dates, and more. The results are specific to the app_id as well as the location and language parameters specified in the POST request.
We emulate set parameters with the highest accuracy so that the results you receive will match the actual search results for the specified parameters at the time of task setting. You can always check the returned results accessing the check_url in the Incognito mode to make sure the received data is entirely relevant. Note that user preferences, search history, and other personalized search factors are ignored by our system and thus would not be reflected in the returned results.

You can turn on airplane mode to cut out the ads but then your scores from each game are pancaked giving you bigger scores than what you really earned. Not a huge deal to me. \nAlso the skip button (which you have to buy more if you run out or watch an ad for 3 free) is placed right under the enter button. I've accidentally hit the skip instead of the enter a couple of times. It's annoying and wastes a skip. \nMove the skip button please!",

"review_text": "Very little of your time can be spent trying to play the actual game, with all the ads that pop up. And they’re timed ads, so there’s no way to click through them, even if you aren’t at all interested in what they’re selling or EVEN IF YOU ALREADY HAVE WHAT THEY'RE SELLING. I would urge even the most patient and tolerant person not to download this ap, since, even if you don’t mind walking away for a bit while these constant ads play, it seems like there’s a lot of background activity taking place, even while playing the game, causing delays when you’re trying to type your guesses, with huge lags between letters, sometimes even seeming to freeze entirely. I’m not a developer, but I do wonder what is occupying so much of the app’s attention, after signing off on their user agreement and giving permission to god knows what information is being accessed. It’s so bad that it comes to a complete halt at times and crashes entirely. So bad, that I recommend deleting any app that appears to be associated with it, like the ones it advertises, one of which I had considered buying, but now most certainly will not. It the sign of a developer who lacks anything of value to offer, so survives on the sole project of extracting value from others by whatever means is necessary and however possible. \n\ntl/dr: this app is way too expensive — especially the free version. Don’t do it.",

This app also has the secret word which also is awesome, you just have to find the word that somehow has a connection with the other word above. The only thing I don’t like about the secret word is, that there aren’t many word connections, so I’ve memorized some of the patterns…😕 Also another part of this app is where you have to figure out what the word is using the letters you have, in a certain amount of time. This is an awesome feature and I have one recommendation, just a little more time, yet of course I’m a little younger so it’s just barely more difficult. \n\nThis app is fun, cool, amazing, and creative I definitely recommend it!! For all of the word puzzle people out there you would absolutely love this game.",

"review_text": "this is a fun concept, but it’s marred by a few glaring design oversights. the most major issue for me is the font- the stylized bubbly letters are very difficult to tell apart at times (particularly because they’re white letters on a pastel background) and that’s kind of a critical failure in a timed word-making game. it’s also intensely frustrating that you can’t reset your word by any means other than shaking the phone, which wastes a lot of time and is hit or miss in terms of whether or not it even works. you can also reset your word by completing it, but the letters don’t return to their original spots- they get placed in random spots. there is also a noticeable input lag, but that might be a result of my iphone 6S’s performance being crunched by apple as they breathe down my neck about upgrading, so i’d be curious to know if others with newer models encounter this issue. the last issue is the lackluster dictionary. many common words have been rejected and it makes for an incredibly frustrating play experience. overall, this game has a lot of potential, but in its current form, it’s not very fun.",

"review_text": "This is a basic game where you have six attempts to guess a word, and I find it pretty fun. I want to rate it higher, but there is absolutely no reason there should be an advertisement after every two guesses! Not to mention, the sheer amount of ads makes it actually beneficial to close and reopen the game every time one pops up. I understand wanting an ad after each round maybe, but not three per round, that’s absolutely obscene. There’s been multiple times that I would forget a word I was gonna guess because an ad popped up and took 15 seconds to close, and other times where the game straight up crashed because it couldn’t load an ad. Yes, you’re offering the game for free and that comes with ads, I get that, but at some point it’s infuriating and incentivizes the average person to delete your app in exchange for another, and considering this is a fairly common game of which multiple apps exist to play, I see zero reason to use your app over any of the others.",
