Word Stacks for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great game but greedyI’ve recently discovered Word Stacks and like most people, find it fun and addicting. My problem with it is that it is very stingy in giving points and getting clues is relatively very expensive. I bought the starter pack early on, and expected that if I was halfway good at the game I wouldn’t need to keep spending money. That’s how it is with my other favorite games. I can tell my skills are improving, but no matter what I do, I can’t keep my points up and will soon have to either fork over $3.99 or quit playing. At the current rate, I’ll be handing over several dollars on a regular basis. This game is free. I’d rather have paid a bit for it and not feel it is being so skin flinty and greedy with me. Much as I want to keep enjoying it, I think I’m going to abandon it rather than keep paying..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Nothing like the adThe ad for this game showed you would get a “brain age” - doesn’t happen. The ad showed a scrolling find-a-word against the clock - doesn’t happen. When you get past the fact that the game is not as advertised, it is OK. Don’t like that you have to pay to get the majority of the coins you earn. In-app purchases are fine ie have to pay for hints etc but not to get you earnings. This is unscrupulous. Probably won’t play for long..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Used to like - adverts took overMore time dealing w advertisements than playing an ‘ok’ word game! App erased from my list. Your app’s not that good - get over yourselves..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Amazing game! Drains your battery!This game is incredible. However it drains your battery like no other app. My phone is brand new, and I don’t experience this problem with any other app. When I play words stacks, my battery drains 10% in 5min. That’s not normal! PLEASE FIX THIS!.Version: 1.2.6
✓ Great game - but with to many addsThe family loves this game we play this to unwind and improve spelling for the kids With the latest update now after each level is passed a BwE add comes up which is very annoying will have to delete it probably if it doesn’t get fixed Not interested in adds of different games especially when it is advertised to the underage kids which is illegal.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Fun game with some problemsThe game is very to at and a great way to pass the time, however the adds are a little to much especially the ones when switching between apps or even bringing the notification center down for a second. My other issue is the daily puzzles, past puzzles can be purchased for coins but the do not stay open after purchasing another missed day unless the puzzle is completed, really bad design as switching between in finished puzzles can help a lot. Overall the game is pretty enjoyable and relatively unique for the moment but with some problems..Version: 1.1.4
✓ WordscapesI would rather play wordscapes then build words and now can.t play...because a pop up won’t go away.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Love the game but.......I love this game! Have recently started playing it and am quite addicted to it. I would give it 5 stars except for one really really really annoying thing that for me takes it down to 3 stars. The hint buttons are way way way too close to the playing area! It’s incredibly easy to accidentally brush against the hints as you’re swiping and lose up to 100 points when you didn’t need the hint, and there’s not even a button to confirm if you want to use the hint. I’m new to the game and had earned a mere 925 points but was super excited to get to 1000, but when I accidentally brushed a hint button, it took me down to 840 and I was super frustrated. And this is not the first time. I find myself making sure I don’t hit the hint area instead of just enjoying playing the game. Please fix this issue! I don’t know if this is a problem for anyone else, but I will read other reviews and I’m sure this an issue others probably feel pretty strongly about as well. If this problem is fixed I would certainly then give this game 5 stars!!!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Disappointed- think it’s got a bugReally liked this app and played every day. However, in the middle of a competition wth 19 hours to go, the app crashed; a new competition started and I lost all the points I had painstakingly acquired. I would normally have given this 5 stars but am pretty annoyed with it at the moment..Version: 1.2.6
✓ CatfishedNot at all as advertised. Completely different game..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Forgot why I had deleted this appI forgot why I had deleted this app. When they show you the feature in the ad. It does not do it in the app itself. There is no how many words can you find as the words scroll by. They trick you..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Love this gameCan’t get enough of this game. Try it, I’m sure you’ll love it! Okay my first impression was what a great game. This is two weeks later. My husband and I play together so it is a competitive challenge while relaxing and keeping that brain active. This game is very stimulating but it’s so frustrating to see the ‘almost’ words and not be able to get to them unless you shuffle and shuffling of course comes at a cost. I would much rather pay for a game from the beginning then to be gorged at every corner. I’m good at this game but sometimes you just can’t go any further until you shuffle. The bonuses are very stingy. One free shuffle a day - and that’s maybe you’ll get a free shuffle - is ludicrous. I hope something changes soon - if not this will be another money grubbing game that I have to retire!.Version: 1.0.14
✓ Really WordStacks?I deleted the app after the last puzzle called “Things that Can Be Stolen” included the word “election” Shame on you!.Version: 1.15.0
✓ Good game but.....I enjoy the game but you either have to pay for coins or watch ad after ad to earn the coins in order to scramble the letters to continue to play . That sucks so I’m deleting it ..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Constant interruptionsPlayed a couple of days but since i dont want to pay for the coins i have earned that are in the piggy bank i have to watch constant ads or earn other coins by out of game surveys (first to giveup your personal data) or irrelevant tasks to relaxing playing a word game. In the end i was so bored i kept falling asleep even in tournament conditions, which is not the kind of relaxation i was after. I know it said “in app purchases” but I'm not going to pay for my own talent when its withheld from the game. Not for smart folk..Version: 1.14.1
✓ Pay to progress!I paid straight away to remove ads. My choice. But when earning coins takes so long and nearly every level requires shuffling to find the words? I’m out. Seriously, why make unsolvable puzzles? The cost to remove ads was significant. I won’t be paying more! Too bad. The game had potential..Version: 1.9.0
✓ MrI love this game, at least I did. Lately though there are a crazy amount of ads. If you don’t knock it off I am definitely deleting your app. And NO I AM NOT paying so you will cancel the ads. I WILL BE DELETING it right away also..Version: 1.2.0
✓ It’s okay...It’s an ok game.. it’s stimulating and relaxing.. not too difficult, even my boyfriend who has a low reading level can get through the levels.. only thing I’ve found is that they reuse some of the levels, for example level 116 & level 131 are exactly the same (describes a mountain)... I mean there wasn’t even that many levels in between before it was repeated so it was still fresh in my mind.. kinda lame but it’s a free game so whatever.. also, they could award more than just 10-25coins for completing 10 levels, especially as you get to the higher more difficult levels.. the game does freeze once in awhile and closes itself but you don’t lose the words you’ve already found so not a big deal, just a little annoying, kinda breaks my focus 🧐 It’s definitely worth a try if your into these types of games.Version: 1.0.14
✓ Fun but too many adsAn ad every level is kind of obnoxious I understand one every few or even every other but this is kind of annoying..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Need to change the bonus words and shuffleI love the larger dictionary available that is used here instead of what’s in Wordscapes by the same developer. But I wish that they would give you coins per bonus word not for a ridiculous number that can be unattainable. It actually is more than a little frustrating given I have found up to 30 bonus words and not been able to get the bonus because it didn’t reach the limit. Also in Wordscapes the shuffle is free; whereas you charge here. It’s disappointing that you do that..Version: 1.0.14
✓ Moving backgrounds againWould you please provide a few backgrounds that do not have something moving in it? Perfectly still solid background. Or a way to customize the background. I like the game alot but the always moving objects in the background are awful to me. It is nauseating and distracting and irritating to me-maybe not everyone but to me. Please do something or I am going to have to quit playing. Thanks * UPDATE* I received an email about my comment and was ask if I would like to update my previous comment. I would like to be able to update because that would mean something had changed and a non moving background had been added but it has not. I think this is a great game, as I stated before, but when you are looking at all of these letters and the moving background is going at the same time, it is not a good thing. Just a background addition of something not moving is not to much to mask. If that is added, I will update my comment. There are lots of people with issues that this could be a real problem so Im surprised it hasn't already been done. Thanks.Version: 1.18.1
✓ Soooo frustratingI just deleted this app after trying it for weeks. Every ad watched gets 40 coins but it takes 50 to be able to switch letters around. Then some ads go landscape, don’t close and don’t give coins. Try getting back into the game after that. Not a chance in hell. The absolute most frustrating and annoying game EVER. Too bad because really it’s a good game. Playing it is a nightmare..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Definitely not freeIf you actually want to play the free version then you must subject yourself to at least an add every 15 seconds. You cannot make a move without coins as the crossword doesn’t allow it. Would be amazing game if I didn’t have to pay a ridiculous amount up front. Deleted!!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great Game BUT...I really love this game but I’m on a limited budget and can’t afford to buy points on the regular to rearrange the letters. You can watch videos to get 25 points per video and hints cost 100 points or rearrange for 50 points. I always rearrange because usually I can see a word but there is something in the way. BUT lately a lot of the videos you watch but then do not receive points or there are no videos available or you watch the video then get the circle logo until you clear your phone etc. Most word games you can eventually solve without points if you are persistent. This one works differently, which is why it is fun for now. But often there is no way to progress without rearranging the letters and when you spend twice as much time watching videos as playing it gets annoying. And I will NEVER buy Allstate or TMobile because they are the worst about not giving points or making you exit on 8 different screens and 3 minutes before giving points..Version: 1.11.1
✓ Frustrated by cheatingI have been playing this game for months..and have loved it. Especially the tourneys. Over the last few weeks I have noticed some very funny things going on. I don’t know if somehow bots have a way to play. Today in first place by a couple thousand points I got kicked out. Game was frozen with two words left. I could see the solution and use points to get the correct answers on my board but my scramble was locked. I rebooted the game 3 times. The game remained frozen. I had no way to move forward. I had to reboot my device a couple of times, no change. In the end, I had to delete and reload the app. When I reloaded, I was given the option to restore my game as I had logged in with FB. My level restored. I was out of that contest and the close to 6000 coins I had saved went down to 900. I will not play games that allow this kind of cheating!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Word stacksMy game has frozen on game1497..very annoying ! Lots have people have had the same issue ..I have the two last words to go which are....excellent and perfect but the game has frozen and now three days later it is still frozen ..I have lots of points left which I can’t use !! Not happy !!.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Word ScapesI’m disappointed. At first I loved this game. It was fun & challenging! I’d play for much more time than I planned. As the game progressed the new screen wouldn’t have any words that could be removed they were so scrambled! More than once I needed to use “shuffle” 2 or even 3 times before any words could be removed. Now yesterday when I wanted to earn some points “Video” didn’t have any available so I took some surveys. HOWEVER, though I slowly earned points (27, 13 ...) none of the points were credited to my account. Today it was repeated - couldn’t earn points because Videos weren’t available. Though yesterday I couldn’t access the points from the surveys, I tried again. Couldn’t access the points. I give up. Deleted the game it was too disappointing..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not badDecent enough game. Fun, simple and possessing a difficulty curve that is challenging at the higher levels. Unfortunately it’s at these higher levels that the game becomes laggy to the point of being unplayable. I thought it might be my connection at first but the ads that you’re bombarded with after every level run fine. No real loss. Not too much here to hold your interest so I’m happy to delete the game and move on..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Great game but overly intrusive ads spoil itI do really enjoy this game, it's a great way to while away the time and give the grey matter a workout! BUT! And it’s a big but. I get that they need to support the free version with ads, but having the ads load the App Store, and even worse, having a video ad override your silent switch to play sound so you have to mute it on screen, are a step way too far!! Sooo annoying if you’re in a quiet place such as in bed with your sleeping partner!! Note to advertisers, I will NEVER buy your product out of principal if you deploy these tactics!!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Feels tacky and is a total ad grabSaw the ad for this and though it would be decent. Turns out it’s filled with ads and looks like it was thrown together just for ad revenue. This game could have gone a long with with a bit more spot and polish..Version: 1.0.14
✓ Nice but...Way too many ads. Your other games have less interference..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Daily puzzles gives you no rewards nowIt has been a great game, I look forward to my monthly theme reward from the daily puzzles and will sometimes play the weekend tournaments too.. have been for a year and now the monthly reward is gone.. I think I will stop now.. this game has kept me sane when my baby was a newborn.. guess I really don’t need it anymore.. what a shame.Version: 1.2.6
✓ It’s okay…This game is pretty good but when I try watch an ad for extra coins, most of the time the ads freeze and I have to reset the app. Also levels repeat themes and include the exact same words as earlier levels, that’s just so annoying. Really disappointing honestly, other then that it’s good..Version: 1.9.0
✓ DeletingImpossible to start the level without changing the layout after level 10. Which makes you watch adds. I would rather not..Version: 1.0.7
✓ ShuffleI tried this but was not pleased that I had to give up tokens for a shuffle.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Bait and SwitchLove the game but just received a pop up that I can’t get past asking me to allow for they can send personalized ads. I PAID TO NOT HAVE ADS! So now I can’t play the game until I allow them to send me ads. I will be deleting..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Very good but...This is a very good game. Mentally stimulating. Easy to play in any spare time you may have. But beware. The ads can get quite intrusive and difficult to dismiss. Also, when playing on a phone, it’s far too easy to consume your hard earned credits by mistake. I realise that the business model used by developers of these types of apps is to gain Ad revenue and hope that people will purchase coins. But it feels like they use sneaky placement of the hint buttons so that you will accidentally press them when selecting a word. A two step process when using a hint would cure this and make the game more honest..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Cheap greedy owners of this app!They are A greedy bunch of guys who own this app. When I first started using this app on the weekends the prize for finishing first, second or third was 3000, 2000 & 1000 points! It’s now 1/10th of that and they’ve cut down the winnable words. You guys don’t ever rate one star.! Greedy mucky mucks!.Version: 1.13.1
✓ Great game!This is one of the best app games I’ve played! It’s challenging, fun and relaxing at the same time. Having the words grouped into categories makes the game even more interesting. I love how the words which can be found at the moment are circled, whether it’s a three, four, five, etc. letter word. That’s very helpful, yet doesn’t take away from the difficulty of finding the words since they’re in any direction. The ads are a bit of a pain, but can be eliminated for a small fee. Thanks for a wonderful game!! Highly recommend! Well, I’m changing my review from 5 to 2 stars. You’ve changed the game up, and I’m not happy. The current words to be found are no longer all circled, only some are. And the automatic shuffle of letters is gone...guess one has to buy shuffles to continue. I’m about done with the game. It started off wonderful but is now sliding downhill. See ya later!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ I watched an advertisement looked cool....But then when I got it. It wasn’t what the ad said it was. I easily got bored of it ..Version: 1.2.5
✓ The ads ruined it for meI really enjoy this game and used to play it all the time. Unfortunately, the ads have started to slow every aspect of the game. I know this can be due to the fact that I’m playing on an iPad mini 2, to the ads themselves or to a combination of these two things and more, but I’m not going to wait in the middle of a session every time a new ad loads, especially if it’s an animated ad. I used to hate commercials on TV and I’m not going to wait for them in my gaming or app experience. This is the only app I have this problem with..Version: 1.0.14
✓ TerriblePlayed it for 10 minutes... you have to use coins to shuffle the words and you don’t get points at every round only at every 10 rounds. They just want you to pay to get coins. Money grab. Worst game!.Version: 1.0.9
✓ MixEnjoyable game for a good challenge. But a few things that could be improved.. definitely need to add more ways to earn coins, it’s so hard to earn them in this game so using hints is very rare and special occasion, but it’s more frustrating that you can find so many bonus words in a level and not win anything for it unless you reach a certain amount that’s wanted in that level and even when you do earn its a very low 25 coins.. could be better even if it’s just one coin per word like in WordScapes. The levels repeat themselves I’ve had this a few times. Also on my game recently its stopped highlighting the empty blocks of which word can be found at that moment..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Cannot use coinsI have 40,000 coins that cannot be used for anything. Cannot spend them on anything..Version: 1.9.0
✓ It’s good overallFun game overall, but too demanding to keep up with the daily game. I play Word Scapes and I love it but I wish Word Stacks had a similar daily incentive. I get busy and can’t play every day but if I miss ONE day I have to use 25 coins to do a make-up day. It’s only a 300 coin incentive and you MUST do every day in a month to get that or you start losing 25 coins each missed. Change it more like Word Scapes where you can miss a couple days but still earn the incentive (which is a LOT more than 300, I think it’s over 600). I mean this is fairly minor but it makes me not want to play because I have to rush through if I get busy and it frustrates me that I’ll give up 25 coins out of an already measly 300. First world problems..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Word stacksI understand the need for ads but after every game. And the same ad over and over again..Version: 1.16.1
✓ Awesome Game, BUT...Love the game. It’s very well designed, challenging, and fun. The problem, just like the other two word games I have by this developer, (Wordscapes and Uncrossed) is redundancy. The same words get used in the puzzles entirely too often. And this game has a subject or theme for each puzzle, and those seem to be getting recycled a lot, too, with maybe a hint of variation but nothing substantial. For example (I’m making this up, it’s not an actual example), you might see a puzzle called “on the farm”, and not long after, you’ll see another puzzle called “in the barn” or something similar, and it uses a lot of the same words. Come on, guys, there are millions of words yet it feels like you’ve selected about a hundred to be used over and over in your games. Why??? Expand you dictionary- please!!! Other than that, this game is fantastic..Version: 1.0.5
✓ No supportI like the game which is quite addictive and good at getting you thinking. My issue is too many adds and from one day to the next I lose my coins. I sent a message to support a few weeks ago asking why this happens, not had a reply. If you pay for something you definitely would expect support and help with an app, I haven’t paid for the add free and probably won’t now because when you pay for something you would expect some support and reply from the app owners. I have sent one more message in the hope I might get a reply. If the owner does read these reviews and is concerned about what people think maybe they might want to get back to me, I may even change my review and add stars! Update: I have had replies but none to explain why I keep losing my coins. I don’t know if it’s worth wasting my time sending messages they are clearly not bothered about. I see others have had the same issues.Version: 1.0.14
✓ Back and ForthI want to like this game. I love this game but I very much struggle in liking it when I’ve completed offers which, on more than one occasion, has involved spending from our real life bank account toward a product that I do want/want to try...but largely shaded by the fact that I’ll receive “x” amount of in-game credit on top of said offer. Only for the few transactions that have involved actual monetary transactions to not end up EVER getting paid out, regardless the “evidence” or “proof” you provide. Provide every single bit of information they could ever ask for ...and then it’s just closed without so much as a reply. Or in one particular case just left hanging open...indefinitely. Incredibly frustrating. So incredibly frustrating. While I’m on a roll here...it should not cost in-game credits to SHUFFLE TILES! This is the only game I’ve ever come across to charge for a simple shuffle. That’s so greedy! It’s just definitely not a give/take relationship we’ve got going here and you can only take/take from someone for so long before being ditched. I’m not quite there yet, and my wee one status means I/my words will probably never see the light of day or be even a modicum of a reason something is (probably not) ever changed for the better, but ask for my review, you did...and now- you shall have it. Come on guys. Get it together. Stop with the stinginess...try some give/take here for those of us contributing toward your paycheck. Please??!.Version: 1.0.9
✓ No Saving Levels or Money!,This is ridiculous that the ratings are 4.9. The game is great but if you reset your iOS device or upgrade to a new one you start at the beginning no matter what level you were on! Logging in to FaceTime doesn’t good at all and does not store your levels. So strange they have not fixed with all the people complaining on their Support page. Their other Word game works fine and does remember..Version: 1.0.14
✓ Slow and crashes too oftenI enjoyed this game! It is more challenging than a conventional word search because it all depend on the order you "find" your words as to whether you can create the new ones to fill your list. Found downloading each time slow and prone to crashes. I could not figure out how to claim bonuses for levels or for finding extra words. I watched a video for a new game and tried a survey to gain extra "cash points" to help play at level 25. The survey process kept freezing so I have decided that there is too much of this freezing and crashing. I have now deleted the game. I know my iPad is not the latest but I can't believe that the glitches I encountered are entirely due to that..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Great game too many adsGreat game, makes you think and I find myself addicted to the game. I’m on level 100 and wanted to wait until I leveled up in the game before writing a review. Although it is a great game, it’s also 2019 and with that means WAY TOO MANY ADS. There is an ad if I start a new level, there is an ad if I check the main menu, there is an ad if my screen goes black and I re-unlock it. It would be one thing if it was only a 5 second ad but they’re a minimum of 15 seconds. I’ve gotten close to deleting it and leaving a 1-2 star review because of how many ads but that would be unreasonable because of how smooth and graphically beautiful the game is. If the developers would cut back on the ads or make them shorter I would change my review to 5 stars..Version: 1.0.14
✓ I did the same puzzle 3 times in a row!So repetitive.....Version: 1.0.4
✓ Tight with coins and annoying ads.Two things and I would give this app 5*. 1) If the ads could be sorted so that they’re not so long, load the App Store for you and ignore that the phone is supposed to be on silent. 2) If you had an opportunity to earn more coins, and not accidentally lose them so easily. I am on a level at the moment that is easy but the letters aren’t in the right order, or the words incomplete. I need to be able to shuffle the tiles but don’t have the coins to do so. I have to wait to get the daily coins to move on. If I was having to wait for coins as I needed a clue it wouldn’t be so bad but it’s frustrating to have to wait as the level can’t be played without being forced to use a hint especially given that the game is stingy with giving coins..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Not freeNot free when it forces you to spend more coins to shuffle than you get as a chapter reward. The puzzles are impossible (in the first chapter even!) to solve without spending those coins. So what are People Fun trying to get you to do? They are trying to get you to spend real money. No fun! App deleted..Version: 1.4.1
✓ No updates for daily game in 2020I used to really enjoy playing this game. I diligently completed the daily game every day so I could earn my way towards little pots of gold every 10 days and most importantly, if you completed every day of the month; a seasonally themed animated background. Unfortunately, the app developers haven’t bothered updating the app since last year, so January’s daily challenges come with no reward or promise of a new background at the end of the month. So, without that incentive, I’m losing my enthusiasm for this game. Such a shame..Version: 1.2.5
✓ ReviewI thought this game was hard it wasn’t what it was in the ads you have to pay to shuffle words and you soon run out of money.Version: 1.2.6
✓ Not free enoughFreemium is as freemium does!.Version: 1.0.12
✓ Could be betterI love this game it is so fun! But I really do wish I could give this five stars. The only reason is because of the way you get coins... Its just the piggy bank it totally taunts me every SECOND!! I have about 5k in that stupid bank yet I only have 45 coins. So it’s basically just the creators want us to buy the stupid piggy bank it’s a waste of money and time. Just paying the app. Yet also a waste of time watching adds just to get the coins I need to help me solve the puzzle!!! But if you are okay with the taunting of the app and don’t mind watching pointless adds then this may be the word app for you. Other than that small flaw I really do love the game. So I would consider it if you are okay with those few mishaps. 🙂 I hope this review helps. 🤗.Version: 1.4.1
✓ They eliminated a major incentive!I used to enjoy this app, and would open it whenever I had a bit of idle time to keep my mind occupied. It had some of the annoying characteristics typical of a free game- mostly ads for other games that you have to sit through regularly. The worst of these appears frequently upon opening the app. The game will flash briefly on the screen and then is quickly replaced by a link to try a different game- with no way to close it and return to the app! At that point there is nothing to do but close the app completely and reopen it. Despite all this, I continued to play through level 2,347. Then they inexplicably eliminated one of the motivations that kept me playing. Previously, you could earn additional coins by finding words that were not on the official word list. This was a fun side hustle and a rewarding mental challenge. I enjoyed finding as many unofficial words as I could along the way and watching my coffers grow. For reasons I can’t explain this feature has disappeared. You can still find the “secret” words, but there is no longer any reward for it. Did they feel they were giving out too many fake coins??? I don’t get it, but that was the tipping point for me and I’ve stopped playing the game..Version: 1.11.0
✓ STUPIDIT ASKED Me If I wanna sharpen my mind I clicked NO but it still brought me the the STUPID APP STORE.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Frustrating!Enjoyed the game @ first. Then problems began. Game freezes, closes unexpectedly. Sometimes touching keys to make letter / word selections yields nothing, keyboard is frozen. Must find a way to wake it up, not easy & this is where some of the time the game shuts down. 240 points purchased to shuffle tiles just disappeared. I contacted support for assist, was told contact another way so I did = NO ANSWER. With cost $5.49 for game with no ads & in-app purchases this game should work perfectly!! Feel like I wasted money on a game with good potential. ..Version: 1.0.14
✓ Disappointed with latest update!Disappointed that there is no rewards for the daily challenges anymore. There is not even a new background theme after completing the whole month!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Cellular dataI’ve had this game for a while I’m on level 2328. I really enjoyed it, latest update took all of the bonuses away, daily challenges no longer give coin bonus at 2, 10 and 28 star intervals and also no new wallpaper at the end of the month if you complete all of the challenges for the month. Not really a big deal. However, I don’t like eating all of my data up when I’m away from wifi so, like I do with all of my games I turn off cellular data while I’m away from wifi. This latest app update has somehow circumvented that and has a backdoor way of using your data even if it’s turned off to keep pushing their ads. I first thought it was a glitch and reset my phone and re did the process of not allowing cellular data for this app, it works for a couple days and again it starts using data even while it’s turned off. I’ve done this process over a dozen times. I will be deleting this app, too bad, the game was really good, but being dishonest and stealing from me is unacceptable!!!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Rip offWon’t load all the levels. Then the remaining ones stay locked. Way too many ads. You can pay to get rid of them of course. You could probably pay to unlock the levels too. I didn’t bother to find out..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Shuffling and Battery DrainingWhile this game is fun and addictive, there’s also a ton of things wrong with it. for one, even if there’s no words left in the stacks you have to watch video ads just to get the coins to shuffle the stacks around. it’s obnoxious because the game should be able to shuffle on its own when there’s no options left. it doesn’t really matter what the developers need to do to make their money, this isn’t the way to do it. this pushes people away from the game, not draws them to it. this game, just like its sibling, wordscapes, drain the hell out of my phones battery. at first i thought it was just that my phone was old but that’s not the case. i just recently got a new phone and when i checked my battery usage, this app used the most of my battery life out of all the apps i have and i didn’t even spend much time on it at all. this is all super frustrating and it’s pushing me to just get rid of this game all together..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Should be better rewardsI play this game addictively - but cannot see the logic in the value of the coins. To get 25 coins (half a shuffle) at the end of ten games and a change of background at the end of 40 are not exactly worth striving for. I paid for coins once - such poor value I will not do it again..Version: 1.0.14
✓ Madder than hell...I love the game but I am going to delete it because I am fed up with ads that last LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES!!! I am not even going to give it a single star because of this maddening misuse of my leisure time. The game was great and playing it was very enjoyable but then I started getting ads that went on and on and on...I stopped playing and went to another game thinking that when I came back the ad would be finished but no luck. When I pulled the game back up the ad started up again and WOULD NOT STOP!! I understand that ads are what keep these games free and I don’t mind a 10 second ad before each game because that’s the price I am willing to pay to get the game for free. But I will NOT allow myself to be subjected to pain relief ads and 30 second ads for any game. I expect that a television ad will last 30 seconds or more but I don’t expect to have to be subjected to that on my tablet. Good-bye Word, I will miss you but not the baggage that I have to put up with to play the game..Version: 1.1.4
✓ As good as it gets?Update: I gave this another chance and found it had not improved. Still repetitive. Egregiously so. Too many ads, which would be more tolerable if they were at the end of a round, rather than constant. Too simplistic, with few challenges in the upper rounds. Fine, probably, for younger children. My ongoing complaint about these word games is their lack of challenge. At the 500 level, there should be no more three-letter words. There should be a lot fewer repetitive puzzles. How many times do we have outlook or casino? I have an overflowing piggy bank of no use, and a stagnant prize box at the end of each section that should also be bigger once you've reached the 500 level. Less filler, more challenge, please. And I don't need 50 different icons popping or bulging or telling me about some tourney I am not playing in or care to..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Doesn’t make senseShuffle should be free.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Pain in the proverbialI don’t know why others give this game 5 stars. Possibly it hasn’t frozen on them like it has for me. Call me stupid but I have downloaded this game 3 times & every time it has frozen on me. The first time it did it, I had been enjoying the game for a few months, the second time about a month before it froze but this, the last time it was about a week before it froze so no more. I’m done! It’s a good game but not worth the hassle..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Words Scramble makes no senseThe order of the letters make no words then a paid shuffle allows it?! Deleted game....Version: 1.0.4
✓ MadMade a purchase without my permission.....😡😡😡.Version: 1.0.12
✓ NopeFun for about a minute then it wanted me to buy coins. Uninstalled ☹️.Version: 1.17.0
✓ This dam game won’t let me play past the 200’s (218 to be exact)I love this game However it freezes and crashes and it doesn’t save my data so I have to Start from the beginning again - some purchases are supported but very few which upsets me - and trying to send a review through is like pulling teeth ~ painful..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Word StacksHave downloaded 2019 version twice and deleted both times. The game freezes. Points are used up every game in order to shuffle tiles. Not enough points awarded for successes. Themes and hints seem pointless. All in all, very disappointing and frustrating to play..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Insane ads - even audioI play this game at night while my partner sleeps. The ads are ridiculous but I can normally deal with that. Then last night out of the blue an ad starts with audio blaring, waking up my husband. I couldn’t shut the volume off fast enough. Very frustrating..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Enjoyable but AnnoyingAn enjoyable app which is fun and educational. The originality of the topics one must find the words too make it all the more engaging. The design is fresh, vibrant and endless. A primal annoyance is the fact one must watch an advert after every round that is completed. This would not be as bad if you were rewarded with some coins (which a lot of other app games do for their users. Also the fact that at every ten rounds you recieve coins but these do not raise in amount despite beating more challenging levels. Overall the app is definitely worth downloading. It is fun, educational and engaging whilst not being dangerously addictive..Version: 1.0.16
✓ Word stacksI like the game but the constant ads are more than annoying. A few ads are okay but there is one every few minutes. I am planning to delete your game as the annoyance is not worth it!,, I am giving your a one because of the constant ads..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Love the Game, but the Ads...I love playing this game with my elementary school children. I’m always looking for ways to engage them in reading and spelling. We are on level 387. This game was a creative way to wrap them into learning and something we can play together. 👩👧👦 Ads before were just a short annoyance, but over quickly. I get it, it’s a free game & ads keep it that way. However, the recent ads are R rated and very uncomfortable to sit through with my children. Pregnancy, death, cheating lovers etc... I hate avoiding my children’s questions, but conversations about unwanted pregnancy and multiple lovers with my young children is actually NOT why we downloaded this game. We rarely play this together anymore. I’m holding out hope things ads change for the better. Maybe WordScapes will cross advertise with similar intellect games or children’s apps. We will see. Otherwise it may be time to see what else is in the App Store..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Strategy too easyTwo issues I don’t like about this and similar games. The hint boxes are always to the lower right just where your fingers tend to lightly rest, then suddenly you have accidentally touched the hint and used your coins. This is obviously clever design unless you are left handed. The other issue is that the best way to get a hint is just to swipe though the whole column backwards then forwards picking out any words. If you just stare at it you will only ever see partial words although the brain will recognise a whole word. I’ve never had to buy coins and once I accumulated thousands I gave up as what was the point..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Word StacksWhen first playing it got stuck on an ad. I had to delete the game and download it again. Not ready to commit to subscribing yet; this is definitely not the way to invite new subscribers. Nope. Tried a second time and an ad selling another game came up and would not budge. Sorry, you lost me!.Version: 1.14.1
✓ Very good gameA very good game which I love playing and would have been 5 stars but for the very annoying problem of the game freezing between levels, it will play easily for a long time but then I will complete a game the next level will start to load but just the background will show, the loading bar fills but no game,, this happens especially when tournaments are running which is very frustrating, I have been without the game for two days now,and having 2700 points and level 1960 I don’t want to uninstall and start over., after another couple of weeks the game has now frozen for 3 days, stick on the opening frame the loading bar moves l/r but no puzzle appears, very frustrating.Version: 1.2.0
✓ To many ads after each levelWould give a better rating, when you cut down the advertising not everyone has a lot of data on their phones , to watch ads after each level, other wise it’s a good game.Version: 1.0.14
✓ Game is good ads are destroying itThe game is educational for my children but the ability to turn off ads seemed to have only been present when game opened for the first time and support area also notes people who have paid to remove ads failed to have the ads removed. Unfortunately this is a deal breaker. Get it sorted or lose customers from what should be a 5* without the ads issue..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Drained Battery completelyFrom 100% to 0% in 12 hours when I left it running in the background overnight, I presume because they are so focused on pushing ads, battery is not material to them. My life depends on my phone at times. Having to shut it down entirely means you can never rise above the levels you have time to play. It is boring to restart the same words over and over. Uninstalled..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Starts off a winnerThis game is great, then as you go up more levels you can’t solve the words unless you use some of their ‘purchase functions’ so they can rearrange the letters and finish..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Fun for a while but gets boring and not very competitiveI found the game at first very interesting and a nice way to pass a bit off spare time. I especially liked the challenges to see how many points you could score against other people over a day or so, but soon found this was the only time I was playing it, as the rest seemed very methodical and boring. It would be good to have the opportunity to challenge others all the time to a win coins, perhaps with a time option. This would keep my interest. Indeed, if I liked it enough I might even pay to remove the adds! On another point, why not penalise for choice of incorrect words! I think this game has a lot of potential, but as it is I am going to delete it..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Higher Levels crash constantly, sound on ads despite game muteI enjoyed playing this game at first. I’m over level 1000 and it constantly crashes several times on each level. This seriously interferes with any enjoyment. Each time I restart the game after a crash, I have to watch an ad. Even though I have muted the sound and music for the game, it is loud and obnoxious for the ads. I’m not sure if it’s trying to get me to pay to remove the ads, but it won’t work. I’ve read that over 700 others have complained similarly which leads me to believe they are not trying to fix the problem. Like others have said, I can quit playing it and move on to similar games. I’m seriously tired of watching 5 ads to finish a level. If this a marketing ploy to bolster views for ad prices, it will backfire when I delete the game. I hope the companies paying for the ads see this..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Time wastingToo greedy for ad money. Shuffling requires coins which means either buying or ad watching. Fun game, but don’t have time for that..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Eats your battery!Holy cow, I installed this game yesterday and couldn’t figure out why my battery was nearly drained after only playing it 90 minutes. Check my battery life in settings, 63% of my battery life! It’s a fun game but wow, the battery use is over the top. I can’t see paying for it if it’s going to annihilate my battery life..Version: 1.0.12
✓ AdsI really like playing this but am fed up of the ads or having to watch an ad to get coins. You need them to rotate the puzzle sometimes but why does it take 50 coins each time but only earn 25 from an ad. 10-20 coins would be better keep the 25 reward for watching ads. I'm getting to the deleting stage as all these games are the same start off good to reel you into it then get boring, harder or less rewards. Developers need to rethink about all this, no wonder they have to advertise to get you to download their game and play..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Not playing fairHave to pay to unscramble the letters, shame on you! Deleted game because all they want is your money!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Disappointed with upgradeI’m very disappointed with the recent up grade. No reward for completing a month of daily challenges anymore, not even a new background ☹️Not great at all.Version: 1.2.6
✓ I actually like it but to expensive and not enough coins earnings!!!Is a great game for the lovers of finding words but I must say that the game is not easy and sometimes u need to use the “help features” to find the word and is annoying that we have to buy coins wish is minimum 5£ + wish is to expensive ; if not u have to watch the annoying promo videos to earn 25coins wish is nothing bc u need at least 75coins in order to use the “help features” of the game! If they could give us 25coins each time we find a “hide word” it would be awesome.. but yeah give it a go.Version: 1.6.0
✓ Not as advertisedLoaded game because I wanted what an in-game advertisement showed me...words to find as they scrolled past. This isn't even close. I don't want it occasionally as part of a challenge (have not even been offered that yet though). Do not waste effort downloading if looking for what is offered in advertisemenr..Version: 1.2.0
