✓ Getting Too Many AdsWhen I first started, the game had a good balance between levels and ads but now there are too many ads. Do the simple daily puzzle, which takes less than a minute, get a 30 second full screen ad. Complete a level, get a 30 second full screen ad. This is in addition to the persistent ads at the bottom of the levels. So I used to spend time in the game but now I just play and then exit when the first ad starts, which ends up being after the first puzzle. This has caused me to progressively lose interest in the game and now I only play for 5-10 minutes a month. Have enjoyed it in the past so haven't deleted it yet but getting close to making it go away..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Ad Laden to the Max!I'm really sorry to have to rate this app so low. I love rewarding developers of free apps with glowing reviews. Unfortunately, this is the first time I've ever been inclined to rate an app so low. The game itself is a lot of fun and can keep you entertained. Sadly, I get so bombed with ads and nags to buy hints & coins that I spend more time trying to close the annoying pop ups than I do playing the game. This is supposed to be a free version but there's nothing free about it. You are nagged to buy tokens or watch ad videos in order to stop the madness and finally get the game to begin. Over the top and way too much hassle. I suppose that's point. Nag 'em till they pay? Sorry to say but this gal is deleting the app. I hope future versions will lighten up on the $Pop$Ups$. If so, I'd love to give it another chance. In all fairness, those who prefer to pay for ad removal will enjoy the game..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Best app everBest word app in the world!!!!!! So many word finds that are soooo great my whole family gets involved but watch out you might think it's easy at the start but it gets harder.........Version: 1.2.8
✓ Fun game but flawedGame is extremely enjoyable and I would have given 5 stars but some of the puzzles are flawed. For instance, the one puzzle asked for any references to “toys”. In it “ball” was listed and accepted as a word; however “bat” was also in the puzzle but no taken as an accepted word. Second instance was a puzzle for all “coffee” references, in the puzzle “joe” was clearly seen but again not an accepted word. These may seem minor, but in a game that is having you guess the hidden referenced words, it becomes frustrating and could have been done better. Hopefully, future levels will have these “glitches” weeded out..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Nice game.It's a really good game for when you have nothing to do and your bored..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Fun game, but...Update: 08July2018 I did eventually download WordBlob and completed it to continue with WordWhizzle, but my current issue involves your ads. I arrived to a meeting early and decided to pass the few minutes before it started by playing your game. I always put my phone on vibrate before attending meetings, but imagine my embarrassment when one of your ads began playing LOUDLY regardless of my phone setting. There wasn’t even the option to mute the ad like I’ve seen on other ads. I now only trust playing your game when I’m alone so as not to disturb anyone with your annoying ads. Disappointed 😔 ======================== Do I really have to download and finish another game, just to continue with this one? Apparently the next level after level 36 is called WordBlob and it has to be downloaded before you can proceed to level 37 in WordWhizzle. Are you guys that desperate to get your other games downloaded that you have to hold the current game hostage? **Lame**😕.Version: 1.4.0
✓ She RascalNot worth the time & certainly not the money to play this game. The Ads are ridiculous!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Ok if you are from the USAThis is frustrating if you are not from the USA. Some of the puzzles are very country specific, baseball terms, American football names etc. There is no way to progress if you can’t do the puzzle. Otherwise it is fun, but two stars as it isn't suitable for everyone..Version: 1.3.3
✓ WordWhizzleWhen I tap the watch a video to get free coins, it only gives me like 15 coins like yea, ten more of those and I’ll get a hint. Another thing is since I got the app, anytime I will spin to get a “reward” EVERY SINGLE TIME I’ve gotten only 25 coins. Also every 30 coins should be another hint for the claim hints thing bc it takes sooo many coins to get another hint. Last thing, you should have multiple daily puzzles because when I am done with the daily puzzle and I get 1 hint I go back to my regular level and I need help with the puzzle I’m on, I don’t have WiFi or any hints, and not enough to claim hints so I think there should be multiple so I have more hints. Like, aren’t they there for a reason? Thank you.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Initially loved this gameI really enjoyed this game in the beginning. I play it every day but now only to do the daily puzzles. The puzzles now are abstruse and need hints to find which means you have to watch videos to get a hint. The videos are long and are the same repeated. After watching the videos I click off them only to be told I didn’t watch the whole video and no points awarded. The worst thing for me is the constant nudges to play the game. You can’t turn them off and they come through about every five minutes. It’s a shame because this used to be my very favorite game..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Decent for freeThere are a ton of things that can be done to improve this game, however there are quite a large number of things that I wouldn't change.... For example, a few things that I would change you could be allowed to put in your age or take a test so you don't have to go through the mundane, boring and/or overly easy levels; make someway adults are able to bypass the first 25 levels or so. However, the reason I wouldn't change anything about the game is because my 6 & 9 year old children love the early levels they are right up their ally and they both love to play the game. Only improvement I would make for my children is more levels that are easier for them. So that's why I gave it 3 stars because it has both good and bad things about the game... It's in the middle, I let my children play the lower levels and once it gets WAY too challenging for them, I take over and teach as well as enjoy the game myself. So, in conclusion; there is room for improvement however, it's a nice game that not only allows me to teach my children but also allows my young children and I to compete without them getting disappointed, or overly upset over a loss..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Word Whizzle SearchThis game was great until the update. Before the update, free hints were available by watching a 30 second video and 96 coins (enough for one hint) would be added to the pot. After the updates, the free hint was changed. Now, a player must watch 2,3, or 4, 15 to 45 second videos, because each video now adds only 30-35 coins to your pot. Furthermore, the videos you may watch for a free hint are limited, i.e., if you need a hint you don’t always get a chance to watch a video to receive one.A red alert pops on the screen saying, “uh oh, unable to find a video, please try . . . I am upset because I was 1st on the Leader Board (3of us keep going back and forth from 1st to 3rd places). We are at level 1500 and it’s becoming more difficult and the site will not allow me to receive free hints. I am a disabled, 75 year old single parent, with 10&19 year old boys at home. I could really use the free hints. ELH.Version: 1.3.3
✓ DisappointedThe only way to play the game properly was to buy package to remove ads. Can’t see the number of words or press continue because an add is in the way!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ New update deleted all of my progressThis game is super amazing and is constantly allowing me to utilise my brain for stimulating word finds. Major down side: with the new update I lost all of my progress from before. I made it past the 200s levels and came back to kill some time since the update and found I got sent all the way back to the beginning. All my hints that I have purchased were gone as well. Extremely disappointed with the turn of events as I was a major lover of the game. Might have to uninstall since I lost a lot of money invested and time spent on the game..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Hints purchased just sitting there no more levelsThere was no indication that there weren't going to be any more levels after number 40 batch and even though that is true you still get the pop up offer to buy more even when there are no more levels to play Your choices are to replay all the old levels or just wait for an update to offer more levels or use them up on the daily I rate their Customer Service high because they responded quickly to my email about not being able to use the purchased hints as all the levels were completed and when I asked if there were going to be more levels soon or what else I can do with my purchased hints Was told there is no way to transfer the 450 hints purchased to another one of their games Was told eventually they may add more levels to this one but it could be months etc if at all Make sure to check there are more levels to play before you buy more hints because the prompt to purchase will pop up even when there are no more levels to play I like this game better than the other WordWhizzle.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Too many long ads!Just started with the game already sick of long ads that go for 30 seconds that you can’t skip. That’s a lot of time to chew up in between games. 5 seconds or less should be the limit. Already OVER it and will delete app..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Ads GaloreI’ve never played a game where ads are right on the screen, blocking the view, as you are trying to play! It was near impossible to complete the level with this annoying ad right on the middle of the screen covering part of the letters. Finally finished the level, to proceed to a 30 second ad, to the next level where low and behold, the same ad right on the middle of the screen! There was no x, nothing you could do to remove it, except pay of course. I’d get constantly prompted to buy their ad remover so that ad could be removed. No thanks! You spend more time dealing with their influx of ads than enjoying the game. Too many great games out there to spend your time with this one. Needless to say, this one got deleted..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Was great, now opens to blank screenLoved this game & played it for several years, but since the last update, after I pass a level it opens to a blank orange screen for days & days. I’ve tried exiting completely, rebooting phone, etc to no avail. As near as I can tell, a great game was ruined by an update. UPDATE: found a workaround that works! (Thanks, Mdwychoff.) Turn off WI-FI & cellular data, open the app & it works. Then immediately go back & re-enable Wi-Fi & cellular data. Irritating as heck, but at least it works. I upped from 1 star to 2 based on another player figuring out the workaround. Given the number of people reporting this issue, really surprised it hasn’t been fixed by now..Version: 1.4.9
✓ HmmI like the app but have a few issues. The biggest one is how frequent ads come up. Seems like every other round. Very frequent. Not only that but they take you out of the game and to the App Store to get you to directly download the game they just advertised. Lastly, it's too easy for far too long. Quite boring until you get in a good 80 or 90 rounds. I am an app developer myself and have many apps up here in the store so I am considering given my experience with this app and so many of the other reviews that maybe I should make a competing app that doesn't have all of these issues..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Easy at first and gently growing in difficulty/ has tech issuesAlthough my initial rating was high for an fun and enjoyable game I have misgivings to add. I have repeatedly played short videos of advertisements to keep my cost low or $0 spent on games online or that I decide to download. With this game I am often told that I must watch the entire add. No problem accept I have repeatedly “Watched the entire advertisement and counted to 15 before pressing the “x” button to get my free points to use for hints, etc. I’m down to only 3.8% of users who get that far in their word puzzles to solve in their game starting at 100%. If others like myself have gotten this far only to delete this game app and quite, it has not been because the puzzles stumped them. If like myself, they wished to save money then it is because they too tired of watching the same advertisement ALL the way through only to be told they did not and had no way in settings to contact the games tech support staff at all, if they exist. I used to think this was a relaxing Fun challenge to relax with like a crossword puzzle, but the letters are right in front of you. Fun perhaps and worth a try. If you don’t mind tech issues without help available then it is worth your time..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Too many adsWay too many ads. And you have to watch them for too long before you can stop them. Really annoying and makes you feel pressured to buy ad free. Game seems good but I will delete out of principle.Version: 1.7.7
✓ Latest update ruined itThis was a great game. You could easily read and touch the letters in the “find the word” grid. The games were challenging and fun, and getting it to do what you wanted was easy. I rated that game 5*s. The latest update, however, pointlessly introduced coins and a weekly bonus game in addition to the old daily bonus game. They also changed the graphics, making the playing grid too small and hard to read and hard to touch the right spot. With so many games in the App Store, I can’t recommend this one any more..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Fun, it...I do think this game is fun, and I like that they use categories instead of just seeing how many words you can come up with. However, I found that some of the categories and words are repetitive, which makes it less exciting after a bit. Also, like others have said, the amount of ads is just ridiculous. I understand having some ads but when there is a 30 second ad after only doing 2 or 3 puzzles that take maybe a minute each, it loses its appeal quickly. Maybe that’s why I found it to become less exciting..the time I spent watching ads was probably equivalent to how long I was actually playing. I feel like they are really trying to push their ad-free version here by inundating you with constant ads and then asking you afterwards to pay for no ads. All in all it’s a good game, but I removed 1 star for each issue I had..Version: 1.3.0
✓ WordwizzleIf you can put up with the ads after every game and most games to start with you can solve within a few seconds, and the ads lasts for 30secs then great, but it bored me to tears, so you having to pay £2.99 to get rid of the ads which is a con. But overall the game is ok. It's a shame, l would have given it a 5, but having to pay is a rip off..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Was loving the game until........Was loving this app until I got to a higher level and it won't let you go any further unless you get another app they're promoting. It's set up within the levels of the game. Level 35 or something, then what should be the next level to tap on is an ad to "get it" (the other app which takes you straight to the App Store), I tapped on it hoping it would go away allowing me to move on with this game, but it won't go away until you install the app they're trying to get you to download. So I'm now deleting this app. Shameful. The ads after nearly every level on this app were bad enough, but acceptable for a free app, however when they won't let a person move up levels if you don't get the other app, one I don't want, which they're trying to sell.......as I said......shameful. 😡Wasted my time trying to move up in levels with this one. Otherwise it's a great word game. Seriously though?! 👎🏼🙄☹️.Version: 1.2.8
✓ MrToo easy only too a couple of months to complete all 1750 levels whilst playing kept hoping that the levels would get harder even my six year old grandson has completed more than 200 levels..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Fun but flawsI enjoy this app. It is a simple stress reliever. I am only giving it a 3 because of a few things. 1) I always take at least a star off for apps that have meaningless gimmicks. In this case it is coins. Earning them. Getting gifts. They serve no purpose and thus are just a waste of time. 2) ads - I think developers deserve money and I would buy the ad free version, but the many reviews saying it is not truly ad free are discouraging and I am afraid I would be wasting money. The free version has ads too frequently and too long. 3) hints - this does not bother me, but I am amazed by the people who say they have to wait an hour because they need a hint. I never need or use hints. Since there are no time limits and no limit on attempts, I can systematically cover the board to find a missing word. Even a 3 letter word in a 9x9 board can be scanned in a few minutes..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Fun but badFun but bad. The reasoning of this is I’ve had this game for ages and it still sometimes tells me the words like I just started and it’s frustrating because I want to get it right without it telling me if you could maybe add so that you have an option if u want I guess help instead of just telling us I’m sorry I rate this app a 2 it’s just needs to be fixed. Plz fix that issue and consider my idea of adding an option thx if that wasn’t a problem I would rate 4.5 -5 so thanks let me know if u like my idea bye.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Like the game butThere is a little glitch, when wanting to watch an ad for a bonus spin. I tap for the bonus spin and then I am told there is no ad available, I and sent back to the puzzle and then an ad pops up with no bonus spin. Very annoying as it has happened 3 times in the last 5 days..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Great for something to doI have played a lot of apps and I think that I finally found a game that I can enjoy at any point. If you want a game that is great for any time of the day than I recommend that you install this app and don't forget it's FREE!!!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Started off ok but poor laterThis FREE game started off really good. When part two was added it started ok but then changed how free hints were gained, so viewing adds is constant unless you pay for the hints one add repeats and lasts ages and cannot be closed ... not good. If you can put up with the frustration then play on.Version: 1.3.5
✓ To many adsSo before I used to get free hints every 30 minutes by just watching a 30 second video but now I have to watch a few videos since it only ads 30-40 coins at it time and a hint is 100 coins.. every other time I pass one an ad comes on and also before the update the daily puzzle would give a hint now an ad comes one after I finish it and it doesn’t have and “x” to stop it meaning I have to watch the video to get the hint because I tried getting off the app when the video comes on and it freezes on the video so I have to restart it but it won’t add the hint. :/.Version: 1.3.5
✓ New version too busy, too small, too annoyingI have been playing this game for a a while and had really liked it. I don't like the new version. I don't need any cheerleading by popping up "neat" every time I get a word. I'm not a 10 year old. It's very annoying. I won't be asking a friend so it would be nice to have the option to remove that … because it takes up valuable screen real estate. That leads me to my next point… the actual board is so tiny now it is hard to see once you are up in the upper levels. In the previous version it wasn't like that. Please fix these problems in future versions!!!.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Alright until......I’ve been playing & enjoying this game for a couple of months so yesterday I decided to update it. I was on Grand Champion or higher level before.....now I’ve been shoved back to the very first level of Baby. Goodby forever Word Wizzle!!!!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Writing a review for a hintIt's a okay game but I don't really like the animation.Version: 1.4.2
✓ NoThe ads are too much.Version: 1.4.7
✓ Fun gameIt's a fun game.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Slow start but improvesEnjoying but hoping for more of a challenge as I move through the levels.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Wordwhizzle searchIt's a reasonable game, fun, but way too many ads and being on a disability pension cannot afford to continually keep paying out for no ads on these games. I understand it's a way of producing income for making these games, but it really does become too too much. I shall probably delete the game because of this annoying habitual ad campaign.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Great little gameIt’s a great little game when you have a little time to kill and don’t need to get to involved in something. However, the “do you want notifications” box keeps coming up and the only option I see is “do it” I don’t see an X to close it. I have to close the whole app and restart. Doing that once was not a big deal but dang it you need to either make the box stop popping up or give me an X to close it or even better how about a “don’t do it” or a “no thanks”. I paid for no ads because I didn’t want the interruptions. PLEASE FIX..Version: 1.3.1
✓ What has happenedHave been playing WordWhizzle for longer than a year then this morning went to do my morning routine of the daily challenge and not only have I gone back to the basic start - now all of a sudden there are ads which weren’t there previously - but also have lost all of my hint points. Why couldn’t have done this for new joiners only and left long time players alone. If it doesn’t go back to where I left yesterday very shortly will delete game as lost all that I lovingly worked for - and the hints I had bought for with my cash has been tossed away. Why I gave you 2stars now don’t know. When first rated gave5 stars..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Devious.A good game ruined by too many advertisements that "encourage" (force) you into either putting up with advertisements after every third or fourth puzzle, or shelling out your dough to silence the advertising. Also, they sneakily try to get you to rate the app before the advertising begins. How devious is that?.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Keeps wanting you to purchase things even after paying 5 dollars for the no ad version!!!Wow! I enjoyed the game enough to purchase the ad free version (4.99 which also came with coins as that was the cheapest pack I could find) but imagine how ripped off I felt when I won a spin that got me 500 coins only to find that to claim all the coins I had to spend another $4.99 to buy a larger purse or I only got 200 of the coins plus a BUNCH of pop ups telling me to buy the larger purse or lose the other 300 coins. The coins aren’t the point of my review (or loss of them). And I know these games cost money to create. What really frosts my weenie is the fact that I already paid 5 bucks to buy your ad free version and yet I get hit up for MORE money if I want to get to keep things I win while playing the game. Seems a really crappy way to treat customers who already shelled out money to stop the bazillion ads that already popped up constantly..Version: 1.3.5
✓ VideoFix the oprah keto gummies, won’t close just loops it’s a pita.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Fun game but......this is yet another app with annoying ads. I understand that developers deserve to make money on their apps/games, and often content doesn't actually generate revenue. But when annoying ads impede a player's enjoyment of an app/game, that's a problem. Obviously, some players opt to buy the app/game to continue their enjoyment of the content despite annoying ads but that marketing ploy doesn't work for everyone. It's a shame, truly, because this app/game is actually a lot of fun. The format/concept is unique and helps players think creatively - which is always a good thing. This app/game is definitely a good tool for fellow wordsmiths and those who enjoy word games will likely find this to be a fun distraction. Levels can be completed at your own pace; there's no countdown or stress-inducing clocks. ;) In fact, the worst part of this app/game is the advertising. So, if you don't mind annoying ads, or if you don't mind ultimately paying for this app/game in order to enjoy the content as long as you'd like (rather than piecemeal between what amounts to commercial breaks), then this app/game is worth a try, especially if you're a word-lover. :D.Version: 1.2.8
