Wordscapes Search for Negative User Reviews
✓ Freezes a lot and the challenges are unattainableI really like this game. It’s a great time waster, has some fun challenges or extra puzzle plays and is enjoyable! BUT it freezes a lot! There are a lot of ads, and the challenge goals are unattainable or duplicates, so you get nowhere. The extra fun puzzles don’t last very long and unless you have time to sit and play all day, like 24 hrs… there is no way to reach the goals. It would be nice if the challenges gave you more points per puzzle to win a goal once in awhile. Not everyone can sit on there devices all day long. I would give more stars but honestly I only play a few puzzles because of the freezing and long ads. The timed puzzles in the beginning of the game were awesome. Wish there was more of those..Version: 1.21.0
✓ It’s okThis game is ok if you’re looking for a mindless game with no real reward to it other than icons and trophies. Not a make money game. The ads are annoying. Normally I would just pay to get rid of them, but $10 plus the tax the App Store will add on isn’t really worth it since the game does get boring at times. The puzzles are not difficult hence the “mindless” title I referred to. They are predictable and all the bonus words are just repeated in each level. The words you’re searching for are usually all either vertical or horizontal with a few being in a different direction. None of the words cross each other. Most of the games I’ve played not even looking at the actual list of words to find. I’ll play it for a little while longer, but like most games, I’ll end up getting too bored and deleting it moving on to something else..Version: 1.19.5
✓ Fun game…BUTThis would be an even more awesome game if it didn’t freeze while you played it. Plus, as other players noted, you have to exit out because you get a blank (black)screen. Yes, the ads are super annoying especially since they repeat themselves, even when you hit the X to get out of them..Version: 1.21.0
✓ Even after update, always opens on level 40What is wrong with this app??? Even after I updated, it always opens on level 40!! I can play past and get to levels 45 but the next time it opens, it is still on level 40 Pretty boring playing the same level over and over and over! If it won’t progress, I’ll be deleting this app.Version: 1.1.0
✓ WordsHas a bad word and not appropriate for kids around 10-8..Version: 1.7.0
✓ I love it, but…I really do enjoy this game, but it seems to drain my battery real quick on my phone, is there any way you could fix this? I mean, i’ve tried everything on my end anf it still seems to drain it, so it has to do with something on the app itself, maybe within its data, i don’t know, but until it’s fixed i can’t even play it anymore, so please fix it 🦋.Version: 1.19.3
✓ Would have given 5starsReally like the game. Kids enjoy it as well. But lucky it was me playing it when an R18 add played. Not happy and disappointed actually. Will delete from all devices now..Version: 1.25.0
✓ Game sucks nowWordscapes now sucks, very disappointed since you added the markers and butterflies to collect as I don’t sit on my phone all day, I do have a job! Can’t collect anything but the money for markers, I end up back at start and to collect the first marker, you need 300 and you only get two per puzzle, so unless you’re on it the whole day you don’t get it. Plus completed trophies and so the daily puzzle means nothing. Going to be deleting this game. No longer interested. Developers need to think about what can be accomplished!!! You wouldn’t get any stars but I can’t send a complaint unless I do, only reason you got one!.Version: 1.22.0
✓ App has issuesGreat game but the app has so many issues now. Obviously not generating enough revenue to fix. It takes forever to load now and frequently won’t. It often freezes, if you’re lucky enough to get into a game. It’s not my technology or OS and I have the current version of the App. Please fix the issues! Clearly mine isn’t the only negative review due to these issues..Version: 1.17.1
✓ Was enjoying, but has crashedWas enjoying the game, but it has crashed. I get developer screen then a pretty background with nothing. Have uninstalled and reinstalled but no go. I did follow links on website to email but no response. I like that the game does not need internet (device is not always online). Please fix..Version: 1.19.5
✓ Word searchGood game. Please look at the one you call Antarctica. This is actually about the Arctic. Not a good look for those of us in the southern hemisphere..Version: 1.22.0
✓ Dislike latest updateI use to love this game cause the daily puzzles were a nice easy break. However, with this latest update they have removed the daily puzzles. Very disappointed..Version: 1.17.0
✓ I’ve begun to wonder…How fair this game is when the weekend contest is going on. I will complete 3-4 puzzles and no points go towards my contest points. All of my puzzles are “very hard”. I can be 800 points ahead of someone and they quickly catch-up to me because of this and I complete my puzzles fairly quickly despite the difficulty of the level. It truly makes me wonder if everyone has the same level of difficulty and if they are getting points on each puzzle because I’m not. I’m also going through ads after each puzzle which I don’t get during the week when there isn’t a competition. It’s just odd how others seem to gain points a lot faster and move up when I solve pretty quickly yet I don’t get points each time, sometimes very little, all puzzles are level “very hard” and I get ads after each puzzle having to wait to X out of them. It’s frustrating and I’m about done. Also, during the weekly collection games. Once you have collected all the items in a collection, why is it still open? Why would you not give me the ones I still need to get? Instead I spend 3 days of doing puzzles that aren’t getting me anything more than if I were playing regularly. There are major improvements that need to be done..Version: 1.20.2
✓ Nope, doesn’t do it for meIt’s a half-decent wee game but you quickly figure out that all the words you’ve to find are separate from each other. Some may cross others but there are no common letters - crossings happen in the gaps. Makes it incredibly simple to complete the levels knowing that the first letter of any word isn’t already used in another word..Version: 1.15.1
✓ FreezesI love the game but it always freezes so I can’t play anymore.Version: 1.13.1
✓ Not bad but some issuesIt's a fun enough word game but you do have to wonder about the education level of the creators. Tonight's topic is Antarctica. Some of the words to search for are elk, evergreen, moose and walrus. Well, I've been to Antarctica 4 times and if I was looking for those 4 things I'd still be down there searching. Please. Some basic Encyclopaedia research when making word games would save you a lot of embarrassment. It's also way too Americanised with objects & spellings. Broaden to bring in an international audience. I do like that I can play an endless game. One enormous pet hate tho. Noisy ads. I accept that I get ads. But if I select the game to be mute - maybe because I'm playing late at night and don't want to over stimulate my senses, maybe because I'm laying next to someone I don't want to wake - then please respect my choice and also mute the ads..Version: 1.11.1
✓ 5-star reviews CANNOT be real!Long read but I literally stopped mid-game to write this 🫠 I’m annoyed 🙃 CONS: There are ads after EVERY SINGLE PUZZLE and don’t put your phone down for more than 2 minutes because you’ll have to watch ANOTHER ad in the middle of your current word search. Yes, you remove ads by spending 6 bucks but you get none of the extras that are offered in their other bundle buys for the same amount! And who wants to spend $6 when other games offer to remove ads for much less. Trust me, I don’t mind spending money on games that I like. Searching for bonus words don’t include 2-letter words or some simple words that are clearly in the dictionary. Ok, the challenges that get you coins and move up the leaderboard… 1st place is 1K coins but 2nd-4th is all the same amount, 750…no matter the difference in scores. I scored 2K over 3rd place and that’s crazy. Lastly, I’ve found words during a mini game to collect pics to use as your in-game profile pic but the game will definitely say you missed it when you haven’t. It’s not a big deal but it will get you slightly irritated. PROS: It’s addictive and passes the time when you’re bored or have downtime. I’m a linguist so I enjoy word games…if you’re one in the same you’ll like it. The different colors once you’ve found words is cool visually. There’s no time clock so take all the time you need, no feeling of being rushed while relaxing..Version: 1.18.0
✓ Not for those looking for a challengeWhen I was younger, I would travel a lot and word searches were my go to when I wanted to pass time. Here are some observations I’ve made after 200+ puzzles: - I paid for no ads to make the game playable. It would be the same price for a book of word search puzzles so its not a bug deal. - The puzzles are easy: all follow a pattern, usually never uses a letter from another word, only one odd letter is generated (X,Q,Z) when a word appears with it. - Offers coins to use for hints (real $). If you are a veteran word search player or just someone who picks up patterns easily, you will never have to spend money. The game is about patience so I have no idea why its even a thing and would love to use my earned coins for something else. - Brilliance points would be great if we could use them on something like icons? Or anything. I wasn’t too impressed with the Valentine’s day event. If felt awfully shallow and only had one guy to “choose” from who was extremely self absorbed. Anyway, I’m sticking with this app since I am mentally exhausted at the end of the day due to work and this is a no brainer game that passes the time. If you’re in for the long run, buy the no ad upgrade; it’ll be your only purchase..Version: 1.18.0
✓ RmdwI am going to have to delete this game because the ad that has popped up won’t go away..Version: 1.12.3
✓ Too bad they changed the softwareGame was working pretty well. Dec 1 they changed the game. Now it is unplayable..Version: 1.7.4
✓ Not goodIf I could, I would rate it 0 star because it tracks your other tablets when you said no, already please, fix this game, I want to come back to it one day…...Version: 1.18.0
✓ CrashingI like this game, but it’s now not loading. It partially loads and then crashes. Any suggestions..Version: 1.14.0
✓ Fix the bugs! Heating up the phoneThe game is consuming so much power and cpu, and my iPhone is heating up like it’s about to burn. It’s really damaging and shortening the lifespan of my phone..Version: 1.27.0
✓ Was working until last update now will not start. Stuck on level 600Unless you purchase ad free the ads go on for over a minute.Version: 1.7.4
✓ This game WAS fun, but now…There’s this dumb glitch where it showed me an ad and then just, like, froze. I tried updating it, but it still didn’t work. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, it still doesn’t work! It’s so stupid and I’m finding this happen with a lot of new games I’m downloading lately. Please do something about this, because I actually thought this game was fun. How stupid I was to think that. I am definitely going to delete this game if it doesn’t fix itself in a couple of days, and that’s a promise. I’m also going to tell EVERYONE not to download this app if you don’t fix this NOW. So there..Version: 1.23.1
✓ Boring after awhile and always freezesWhen I first downloaded this game it was a lot of fun but then I discovered that I could find all of the words in no time at all. That’s because all of the words become obvious after just finding a few of them. It would be great if they crossed each other in ways that didn’t stare you in the face. The biggest complaint I have is that it freezes up on you with some ads you aren’t able to just X out and when you are finally able to get back to the game it’s an entirely different game all together. It also freezes up when you are in the middle of a puzzle and you practically have to slam your finger on the screen several times to get it going again and then if that fails remove it and start all over and sometimes not the puzzle you were working on. Maybe it’s different on a computer but on a smart phone it’s really not worth downloading. I’ll still play it but that’s because I want to see what happens when I complete all the levels. In one week I have almost completed all of them so we’ll see what happens then!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Good gameGood game, but freezes up sometimes and drains my battery too much.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Advertising and freezingThe adds on this game are constantly freezing. I have restarted it several times and it becomes extremely annoying. It’s on more than one add. The adds appear to run longer than usual on other games, sometimes taking up to 8 attempts to close them. I’m sure this can be rectified, it has been happening for the 3weeks I’ve been playing. Can you attend to the problems please?.Version: 1.13.1
✓ Freezes several times a gameCurrent review: No hope for this. It would be fun if it wasn't a frozen screen every few minutes. Only solution is to delete it now. Why would I want to purchase an upgrade/whatever it is, for a game that does not function? I'm not talking about ads. My complaint is that several times per game the screen freezes and there is no touch to select the words. If it's this nonfunctional as a "free" version when they are trying to get users to pay something - there's nothing that shows me it's going to work properly if I make a payment. Earlier review a few days ago: And these games are short. Very short. There's no way to refresh it in order to get page unfrozen. It's more of a "marketing app" to sell other games. Or maybe it's a popular app so there are lots of users on the app at once which causes it to remain frozen?.Version: 1.19.5
✓ Wordscapes searchI love this game but had trouble with it since it was downloaded. I was pass 57,000 and it started closing on me so i delete it and Downloading again but it will not open. Please help..Version: 1.23.0
✓ Disappointed in the adsI was happy with the game until raunchy ads started showing up. Deleted it to find a better app I can let my kid play without having to see all the garbage ads they allow..Version: 1.18.0
✓ It was good until....So I got up to level 134 and I worked very hard on getting to that level... and now it says “children having fun 3:00” and it’s a blank screen... I have no idea if the game glitched out or if it’s a bug.. this happened to my boyfriend earlier today he downloaded the same game to try and beat my score but this happened at level 40 for him and he redownloaded the game. It ended up happening again so he had to delete it... such a shame we really loved this game 😤.Version: 1.7.4
✓ Good Game But No Longer WorksNice game with plenty of words to find in several selectable subject areas. It has a 11 x 11 character grid that fits my XS Max screen nicely. It was my favourite and I would have given this WordSearch game full marks but I can’t because it hasn’t been updated for so long (looks like about four years) the game now quits when I try to select a word on screen..Version: 1.27.0
✓ Wordscapes SearchThis app is garbage. Consistently freezes and shuts down. Please update the problems if you want people to download i5 and play it..Version: 1.19.4
✓ Great game but…I love this game. I play it at night to unwind and it’s also good for killing time. There are a LOT of ads…after every single game and if you need to put your phone down for minute when you come back you’ll have to watch another ad before you can continue your game. Recently they’ve had some ads for adult content games so beware if you have children downloading this to play. One thing I don’t understand is the point of winning challenges and earning coins. You can even buy extra coins but yet there’s nothing to do with all the coins you collect. They should make it where you can purchase new in game icons or something. I’d be prone to buy coins if I could buy holiday or themed icons. Right now it feels like a slap in the face to win a challenge and get 1500 coins that you can’t do anything with..Version: 1.20.2
✓ Way too glitchyI enjoyed this game for a few days, then it got so glitchy it got to the point it would close without even opening fully. So frustrating! Have now uninstalled it..Version: 1.13.3
✓ When it wants to workI love this app when it actually works, 1 in 5 times it will. The rest of the time it freezes, lags, ads sit on a blank screen and you’re forced to exit the app. Most of the time it’s not worth it for these problems but the app is fantastic when it does work. Too many bugs so please fix this so everyone can enjoy!.Version: 1.17.0
✓ The Developers Cheat OR The Scoring is JACKED!!!!!!I often take screenshots of the score throughout the weekend to ensure I’m on top of where I am. I know the scoring updates are wacky. I know you have to keep plying to see the accurate score. So, I always keep playing and always take screenshots I took a scene shot of the score and it said the person behind me hold 16,000 points. I check the score exactly 12 minutes later (screenshots are timestamped) and ALL OF A SUDDEN the person behind me has 17,600 points. Which is BULL! I hate cheaters. Cheaters never wins developers. Remember that!!I used to play all the time. Where are the games that offer real prizes like, fans, light bulbs, or coins?.. so now you play ALL week and all you get is duplicate ugly dinosaur stickers, or ugly cat statues? Why would any game developer keep “updating” a game to actually be worse than previous version is beyond me. Still not divers, still populating words that are Not in dictionary. Developer seriously needs to talk to users and fix issues! At this point you pretty much get nothing for playing up during the week. Zippo. So, I now I play from time to time. Representation matters. Diversity matters. Aesthetics matter. Logic matters. This game lacks all of it… They could do so much better..Version: 1.19.5
✓ It was 5 stars untilThis game was five stars in the beginning because it was so relaxing and took your mind off the daily stresses of life! Before I knew it I was on level 300! Then this app became 4 stars because after reaching level 625 I’m still having to find words such as hot, oil, fish, wood. It became less and less challenging. Furthermore there’s a support form with tons of requests submitted on the very topic of no more repeating of the same puzzles (or levels). After a certain level, the same puzzles start repeating over and over. And you close the app and when you go back to play again it’s gone back to three levels from before basically starting over three or four levels ago. Makes no sense and it’s becoming really frustrating that it doesn’t even serve its purpose anymore sad face. 3 stars for now 😞.Version: 1.3.2
✓ GlitchySo, the app itself is pretty good. There are a lot of words that are repeated, and that gets annoying. The ads annoy me. But the weekend competitions - I’m striving to get the number one spot, and doing really well at number two. When out of the blue, it says I’m number 3. *No, but okay - played about 5 more levels, and literally gained zero points!* I realized that it kept telling me I’m not connected to the internet. *Hmm, that’s odd, since I’m literally connected to the best WiFi ever, PLUS, I have an unlimited 5G data plan on my phone!* Clearly, your app needs an update that doesn’t constantly, supposedly, disconnect its users from the internet, that they don’t receive their points! Other glitches I’ve noticed, if you leave it open for like even a minute without finding words, it becomes very laggy, so much so that it doesn’t even recognize that you’ve found the word. So then, you have to close the app, manually, and open it back up..Version: 1.28.0
✓ Doesn’t save progressI enjoy this game a lot but it doesn’t save my progress and I certainly don’t enjoy relaying the same levels over and over again whenever I go to play the game. Makes it quite boring, repetitive and pointless to play. I’ve since deleted it because of this ongoing issue..Version: 1.2.0
✓ It’s a free word search gameIf you like word searches you’ll like this game I like them when I unwind. Sure there’s adds every now and then but I mean it’s a free game what do you expect? You just want someone to make something and not try and profit off it? it hasn’t really bombarded me with adds or nothing like that like one every 2-3 levels or so. It kinda helps me calm down. And it can be pretty difficult I’m only on level 20 at the moment so idk how much more difficult it can get but all and all I’d give it 3 stars purely because of the fact that it legit isn’t anything special other than a word search I see people getting mad over adds or it being to hard but again it’s a FREE WORD SEARCH game can’t really get mad at it for being to hard or for having adds and if you do get mad at this stuff just DONT download it. Also I see the devs give responses and are trying to make the app better so at least theres that..Version: 1.21.0
✓ App takes 5 minutes to load!!We’re in 2022, what the hell is this?! Deleted the app..Version: 1.17.1
✓ Update last week is melting my phoneEver since I updated last week, I can’t play more than 2 or 3 searches before it gets super laggy and either freezes or shuts down. My phone gets so hot it nearly burns my hand. I thought it was my phone but other games, with more happening doesn’t cause this issue. This also happens on another phone I have too. So disappointed. I wanted to get the highlighters but it’s unplayable. May have to delete it..Version: 1.27.0
✓ Kids gameDude why tf does it have “wet” “beg” and moan in the word search and as one of the words is balls? im too dirty minded for this💀💀 i just want to play a word search😭.Version: 1.14.0
✓ Irritating ads!! And now Echoes of Atlantis just disappears before the time is up.I really like this guys game but love the echoes of Atlantis and looked forward to the next one. But now i play one, there’s an ad then the game just disappears. The icon is still there, it just won’t load. I’ve tried force closing the app but that doesn’t work either. Please fix this!!! This would be a great game and I’d give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for all the ads. It’s bad enough that they’re so frequent. But they make you play the stupid games before the ad will go away. Sometimes multiple times! If I wanted to buy these games, I would. It’s the same ones over and over again. Adding insult to injury they want $8 to get rid of the ads. Most games I’ve seen only want $1 or $2. Needless to say I’ll be looking for another word game..Version: 1.19.4
✓ To easyTry putting different difficulty levels because it too easy.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Annoyingly glitchy.When I first downloaded it the app worked great. I’ll be honest, it is one of those apps that play ads constantly, but they were played in between levels and weren’t suffocating so I didn’t mind it until the ads began glitching out. Eventually I wouldn’t be able to exit out of the ad pop up even when the ad was done playing. No matter how many times I pressed the “X” button nothing happened and every time the only option to fix it was to swipe out of the app, close it completely and reopen. Saying that, it was annoying but I really didn’t mind exiting the app every ad pop up in order to continue to play. (Because I really did enjoy it!) The glitches advanced though, and now after every time I find a word the app freezes up. An ad wouldn’t even come up, it was genuinely the app just freezing after every word being found. At that point the glitches became excessive, and my annoyance levels exceeded my enjoyment..Version: 1.13.2
✓ Freezes, stutters and cooks phone and batteryWhat I was able to play seemed like a relaxing and fun word search game, but like a lot of games by this developer it soon became unplayable. It freezes and stutters a lot, after just a few minutes. But not just the app, it slows your whole phone to a crawl - I was listening to music while playing and the music became completely distorted. Had to waitfor a brief window where the game started working to close it, after which my phone went back to normal. As well as that, it drains my battery and causes my phone to overheat. Bizarre and makes the app useless..Version: 1.22.0
✓ This is an Ad app with occasional gamesIt seems like the developers of this particular game decided to create an app to deliver a continuous stream of ads interrupted by the occasional game. I understand the new for ads in these, but when you have more ads than games (literally), you’re misleading your users. This one is not worth the download..Version: 1.20.0
✓ DeleteI deleted this app because it would not recognize the word “rape.” Are we pretending that this is not a real thing?.Version: 1.25.0
✓ Way TOO many ADSDownloaded because I saw the ads from another app by this developer. But now deleting both apps for the same reason. Really enjoyed the game in the first few hours. But it got ruined after that because of the Ad right after each play. It’s really annoying to wait after each level. Don’t mind seeing ad as you need to keep the app running. However, ad after each play puts me off..Version: 1.14.1
✓ UnhappyWhen I downloaded this game at first I thought it was going to be great really relaxing , as I love doing word searches, unfortunately from level 10 on it seemed like the game was going to crash and then it took its time to go to the next level after that so unfortunately I had to delete the game as it was really annoying me , it’s a shame but cause I was enjoying it at the start , sorry to give this kind of feedback, I wish it could have been more positive.Version: 1.18.0
✓ Is $14 to remove ads!! But I do love the game!Crazy expensive to remove ads. I really like the game though. Wish there were more special events and things to earn..Version: 1.19.5
✓ Too many ads!It was good but WAY to many ads!! There were 2 ads between each game. It was not worth it so I deleted the app..Version: 1.1.0
✓ OverheatingUsed to play it all the time, but now it just overheats my phone constantly to the point the game doesn't even function. i tried getting my battery replaced, didnt change a thing..Version: 1.23.0
✓ FairThe app is very relaxing and fun! However needs a bug fix as my screen freezes whilst I’m completing a word found. Happens twice or thrice on one level. But reloads to saved game..Version: 1.22.1
✓ Predatory ads!There is no close button on the ads. You have to go to the store then back to the gam before you can close the ad. Is this even legal? Not cool!.Version: 1.9.7
✓ WordscapesThe game is ok, but video ads with sexual content are inappropriate..Version: 1.25.0
✓ Don’t know whyDon’t know why people are saying not that many ads, you get one pretty much after completing a level so pretty much every 1-2mins if it was after the whole section fine but it’s not... and then you have to pay to remove the ads if you want, if it wasn’t for that then this would be a pretty good game... but the contrast ads are annoying and not relaxing as other people have said... Which is to bad cause I honestly don’t want to constantly waste my time on the ads, that would be now 5 times I’ve mentioned ads, so now you see how annoying they are!!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Did enjoy this game, however…Got stuck on level 40 and it stopped unlocking the next level. I played the same level at least 6-7 times and still no luck. Contacted support and got this answer: “Our developers are still investigating the issue. We are unsure when a fix will be implemented. It looks like if you keep playing it, that it will eventually move on. However, I'm not sure how many times it will take. Possibly 15 or so.” 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ Too bad, I truly enjoyed this particular version, but can’t see myself playing the same level that many times..Version: 1.19.0
✓ It’s alright but…..For some levels where the rest of the word is hidden with coins and the first letter is known , I think that they should remove this feature since it can take a while to find that hidden word or at least make it so that if you have gotten all the words except the one hidden with coins then you are able to move onto the next stage.Version: 1.28.1
✓ Once was fun, now it just crashesIt’s hard to fathom how something that was a great source of fun, albeit with its flaws regarding acceptable and unacceptable words, can slide so quickly into the abyss of mediocre. These days, and more often than not, the app will not load up and when it does it crashes almost immediately after starting the word search. In the lead up to this latest development the game would freeze, and it would not select words (often taking several attempts to do so). My iPad is current and up to date, all other apps and services run without issue so I’m left to conclude that the faults are in the app itself, something that is reinforced by many other reviews addressing the same or similar issues..Version: 1.11.0
