Word Buddies - Fun puzzle game for Negative User Reviews
✓ The ads drive me nutsThis game bombards you with so many ads in a bid to get you to pay $15 to make them stop. Very frustrating..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Cool game until it glitches!I actually really enjoy playing the game...but it ticks me off so bad that you have to spend so many coins just to play....and in the middle of game play....it just glitches and restarts....then I have to spend more coins only to have it happen again!!! I get so frustrated with it I just quit with it and play something else! I mean fix it...I think I should get some free game play tickets to make yo for the 200 times this has happened! Get that fixed and I’ll come back....for now Ima go back to candy crush!!.Version: 2.11.0
✓ Too expensiveI love playing this game but feel like it sets me up to have to buy more coins. It gives you 7 letters and X number of moves to complete the level; however, it often gives you 7 consonants, three times in a row, using up that many moves, making you have to buy more coins to buy more moves! AND, I have bought at least six bundles of coins and special items, and WAS NEVER CREDITED WITH MY PURCHASES! Took my money but didn’t give me my bundles! I stopped playing because of this! I feel ripped off!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Very ExpensiveI have just spent $7.99 for one game. These developers are very greedy.Version: 2.7.0
✓ ReviewWhen someone selects they ARE a scrabble player don’t put them through the agony of the tutorials!.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Bombarded with adverts repetitivelyThis game could be much improved if there were less adverts in & at the end of each game as you have to click question marks to watch adverts for your rewards but not just once but three times over & in fact there is more adverts than actually game play. The game is rigged as round after round no vowels are given so how you are supposed to make words even if you change your letters several times you get no vowels so for these reason the app will be deleted until above is fixed..Version: 2.9.1
✓ MehI saw the ad while playing a different game and the ad made it look like Jumbline type game where you have a set of letters and try to guess as many words as possible from those letters. That’s not what this game is, but I played it anyway. The ads are too much and it got really hard to pass the levels very early on. If you don’t spend money for extras, there’s no way to pass unless you make multiple attempts, which will burn through your coins resulting in your having to buy more coins. Regardless, you’re going to pay to play. It would be fun if the levels were just a little easier to pass without boosters..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Great Fun if you don’t mind paying for everything.To expensive for me. You never earn the things you really need you have to pay to pay for them. You get invited to play events but then have to pay to get the things you ‘won’. Ridiculously greedy is what it seems to me. I guess if you’re the one making the money good for you. But I am deleting because it’s just too tempting and a silly way to spend my money. I don’t mind being charged to get a few special or extras things but you take it a little too far for me. It’s just asking for money at every turn..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Love the game but.....Love this game but there are wayyyyy to many ads. I play heaps of word games and none have this many ads!.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Was in love but now aggravated...Love to play this game. Fell so in love that I decided to spend the $10 to unlock the game and have no ads. Have been enjoying the game until the gems came in to play and the only way to get to the next level was to pay for the pass to get enough gems. Plus the fact that at the end of each round where you get your bonus, you NEVER can get the top bonus or gems. Pretty shady to keep people playing and I’m extremely disappointed..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Fun but extremely frustratingThis game is fun and challenging but as you get to the higher levels it becomes extremely frustrating. You will have 6 moves to accomplish the goals and receive no vowels. It is impossible to build words without vowels. You can lose a move to change out letters but still get no vowels. To buy an extra letter costs a lot of coins and you don’t earn very many throughout game play. You earn enough to play the next level sometimes. It is set up so you have to spend real money to complete the levels. I have played many levels where I only received two vowels the entire game. I refuse to spend a ton of money to play any game..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Fun but costlyI love the game and making my brain work to figure out words and strategy but I have put money in for the no ads, which worked for a while but now the ads are back-not the ads I chose to earn extra coins or rewards but the ads between games. I’ve lost so many coins and boosters because I’ll be playing the game and have to pause for phone call or so other distraction and when I go back it starts me all over and I have to use coins again to play a level I was already working on-I still play but I have gone back to some of my other favorites bc I’ve spent enough money, of my choice, but have lost what I’ve purchased due to bugs in the game-.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Great game but...This game is great but way too many long ads to watch. Also the free spins NEVER give you the top prizes. Also, some games seem that they can’t be completed such as one requiring a triple word score and you can’t get to where the triple word scores are. I am going to quit and probably delete this game as I spend more time watching the same videos over and over than I do playing. I don’t think the ad free version will be any better as you need to watch ads to get coins or other helps and you need coins for everything—even just to begin a new game.Version: 2.5.1
✓ ThiefSo I bought the puzzle package and it said my purchase didn’t go through but they took my money out my account. I go to help so someone can either give me my money back or give me my purchase and no one has responded. So y’all just taking people money and why no vowels or at least a quit button. This game seems to be designed to take money from people. The concept is great but it’s not very gamer friendly. Poor customer service. I’ve spent a lot of real money on this game and now y’all stealing money from folks. I want my money back right now!!!! It may not be a lot of money to you but I don’t throw money away. I should be able to get what I paid for. I almost want to report y’all to Apple and Google and tell them y’all are scamming people. No vowels, the game lags sometimes, some of those words are made up or in another language, you have to spend coins if you can’t make a word just to get out of the level and start over. Fix this and fix it fast. Please don’t send me the same message I keep seeing on other comments from some bot. Y’all need to update this game again and make major changes. Nobody is happy with the way it is now. Please be careful when downloading this game because now they taking people money and you get nothing in return. Thieves!!!!!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Potential to be greatI bought the ‘no ads’ pack, as the game is good but frustrating, having spent more time watching Ads than gameplay. However as someone else said, to keep getting whole racks of consonants making levels impossible takes the fun out of it. Add to that, the fact that the bonus stars NEVER give out the big wins (you can predict what will come up) and it turns what could be a great game into something mediocre..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Hate new updateAbsolutely loved this game. Been playing for months now until yesterday’s update. No more swapping tiles for moves, have to now pay! Levels impossible to complete. Will sadly have to find a new word game..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Fun Word GameI am enjoying this game. However there is one pet peeve that I have about this game and so many others. You play the game and “collect” coins that go into a piggy bank of some description. Then to access the coins you’ve earned through playing the game and watching numerous ads to get to the next screen you’re encouraged to pay $2.99 to “open” your piggy bank. I understand wanting to make money, but come on! The consumer/player of your game is already watching ads for which the company/maker of the game is receiving money. Just don’t offer me the coins if I have to pay to bust ‘em out of the piggy bank. Annoying! Otherwise, the game is fun. Love the graphics, puzzles, etc..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Too expensive and rigged for losingYou have to pay big bucks to get anywhere in this game. Needs a low cost subscribe function. Stopped playing when it was clear the letters are rigged to games and to make a person have to pay more. Sad cuz it’s a great game otherwise..Version: 2.8.0
✓ EnjoyableI’m really enjoying this game, however, I’m curious what language or dictionary is uploaded in this game because I’ve been told several times that certain English words are not valid (crew) but then words like “emfs “ are acceptable. I just end up placing letters together to make up stuff and see what works. It definitely takes the fun out of it. Also, there definitely are puzzles that aren’t possible on the allotted number of turns given. I’m finding I have to spend money and it doesn’t go very far. And of course, far too many ads. I have this on my phone and iPad. One I’ve paid for no ads, one I haven’t. It helps but still need to watch a lot to get the coin. I can’t afford to waste money on a game..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Word buddiesI’ve been playing this game for awhile now and when there’s an ad it won’t go back to the game. The game freezes. Please fix thanks..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Ads galore2 30 second ads in my first match after the demo 1st round is too much.Version: 2.15.0
✓ UnhappyDownloaded the latest version and it keeps closing. Plenty of space on my iPad. Am frustrated because I purchased extra to keep playing. Any suggestions why the upgrade is failing? Thank you.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Huge fan for months......until nowI’m so upset that no one w this ap developer can fix or address my concern. Even w a Facebook login to keep progress up to date across all devices, and after deleting the ap and reinstalling, I lost all progress - including over 10,000 coins I had been building. I also spent over $100 on upgrades and sales .....and I know a waste of $, but when I like a game, I will splurge. Any other game deleted w a Facebook login works, and can played across devices. I now have 2 UID numbers, and when I try to contact them again, no response! The first time I contacted them in October about a crash, they responded immediately and also reimbursed me for my crash issues w some coins. Now, no communication! Do not start this game, fall in love with it, if you do not want to end up upset and disappointed. I’m actually missing the game, but after days of no resolution, I refuse to start over and i will def not put $ any upgrades. Sooo upset..Version: 2.10.0
✓ To priceyI have played this game for a while,and really enjoyed it. Untill lately I have hit a level I just cannot beat. It has already cost me a fortune. I just can’t go on piling money into it..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Good game but too many adsFun scrabble game and I don’t mind ads but there are way too many with this and to really get the best points and prizes you have to pay. Very little explanation on how things are awarded or what they are for. But to play levels you have to either have coins- which you can win, but then you have to pay to play if you are out. Not fun at all. Between the ridiculous number of ads and the constant push to spend money, I stopped playing, there are other far better games that don’t require either as many ads or as much money to play. Too bad because there are some good points.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Won’t loadDoesn’t even load up to play it.Version: 2.6.0
✓ GlitchyFreezes and crashes a lot..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Great at the start but?I really like this game but I am now close to the last level and it is impossible to win without spending a lot of money. Recently the format has changed so you can only get lives from friends in your group rather than money! On the whole it’s pay to win!.Version: 2.16.0
✓ What a waste of timeI reached level 37 won and bumped me out. Did 37 and won. Bumped me out. When I went back it started 38. Played twice and one and again booted out. This time it showed level 38. I am no longer playing this game.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Too Many GlitchesI would give it 0 stars if I could but let’s just say the one star is for the game concept. The game is fun to play…. When you can play it. There are so many ads I cannot even enjoy this game. Evey other turn while in a board seems there is an ad. Then for the extra letter that’s flying by watch another ad (I can get that one, watch this ad and get this xtra) But it’s the ads that keep playing while you already on a board that are frustrating. Then I am on a Team that is apparently now dead (I seem to be the only one on it) But I can’t leave it. Keeps telling me network error when my network is fine. Won’t let me get the daily 5 bonuses you can get from watching ads. Shows I’m offline when I’m not. When ads play when they are done my screen goes black and I am having to blindly tap around the top of the screen until the ad disappears. I am not having any offline or this issue with the ads going to blackscreen on any other game I play. I am done.. this game has become too frustrating to play..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Disappointed with July updateI downloaded the most recent update and my game has been awful. I’ve lost a few thousand coins because it has been freezing up in the middle of gameplay, sometimes several times per game. It happens while playing—and every time I leave the game to answer a phone call or text message. I had to buy more coins just to keep playing but I won’t purchase more. I absolutely love this game and I would hate to have to quit playing because of these issues, PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS SOON!!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Fix level 63Level 63 keep freezing. I have a few move left and the whole game freeze I’ve redone this level 9 times getting sick of doing..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Great game for half an hourSuper game to stay with, shows fun potential and then the adverts start and they come after every 3/4 words. I’m not paying £9.99 to get rid of them so the game will be sadly deleted..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Too slowThere are so many cartoons and Score cards and bonuses there is hardly any room for the actual game!.Version: 2.5.1
✓ To confusingTo confusing uninstalling it..Version: 2.10.0
✓ Love the changesI bring back the old way, I will not play this anymore it’s too confusing and the “help” line replaced with what is now the “buy” line I will not pay for the boxing glove etc that I used to use for help. Why change something that was working?.Version: 3.1.0
✓ DirectionsWhat are the game rules.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great Game BUT only two stars Because.....Even though you pay £2.99 to be add free, and pay £4.99 to have passes for just one level, you still get ads. I have a friend that has paid a lot of money, and still is, to buy the passes, and she paid for it to be add free, and there are still ads shown. That is not fair, ad free should be AD FREE. If this changes, I will change my review. I hope the developers listen, and are not greedy like so many others. I will not buy anything until the ads are gone, when I pay. I think you misunderstood my last message. Some of the adds are gone, but it is still asking you to watch ads at other points in the game. I was going to buy the IAP for myself but won’t now. But two of my friends are annoyed at this. It is not a fault of the game. It is greedy developers wanting more money, when a person is spending about £5+ a week on passes. Now dropped the railing down to 1*.Version: 2.7.0
✓ Could be goodThis game would be more fun if it didn’t reload when you open another screen eg read a text/take a call. And always seems to reload when you’ve just spent 600 coins buying a vowel..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Good gameI like this game, but there is more advertising then there is game play. Will be deleting this game..Version: 2.7.1
✓ FrustratingThis can be rewarding and fun, but on most levels you get starved of vowels which makes forming words impossible. This is a cynical move to make you buy letters. I really resent a game that does this and I am giving up on it..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Too many adsI almost never erase tot review anything. You’ll be disappointed with this one. This is a really fun game. It would be an outstanding game if all the things it tried to introduce, were done a little slower,let a person learn the game and explained what you could do with what you win/have. Some of the buttons do. But not the spins/ coins/tickets etc. Its insane that after every word entry you have to watch an ad in order to continue playing. The other games I play- ads play to get something you want. Not to PLAY the game. Makes no sense to spend more time watching ads then playing a game..Version: 2.14.0
✓ 50/50The game itself is ok, and quite good fun. Unfortunately though, it doesn’t matter how many levels you play, when you go to choose your coin / token rewards at the end of the level, you will NEVER be able to claim the highest prize. Never happens. Kind of disappointing and less incentive to play because the game cheats you like that..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No vowels Too much moneyI liked this game when I started playing. However you cannot complete a board when there are no vowels. Then when you change the letter they still give you no vowels. It cost too many coins to get a vowel first one 750 then 1500 that’s insane. This game would be fun if they change some of these things seeing as everyone is complaining about it. I think they want you to spend real money a lot and that is not fair. If they fix these things I will up my rating. I have some purple things and no idea what they are used for..Version: 2.17.0
✓ Instructions not clearI’m on level 28 (I think) and can’t figure out how to get past it. There are no instructions that I can find, so I can’t play the game anymore. Other than that, I was enjoying it, but until the bug on that level is fixed or some instructions are provided, I won’t be plalying anymore. Also, i can’t count how many times I’ve traded in all my consonants just to get another handful of consonants, hence ruining my game. Once again, used 5 turns in one hand to trade in all my letters only to get a handful of consonants again and again. So annoying..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Fair goThe game is great however when I saved my progress it took the extra coins and add ons I had just purchased and the took me back to a level I had played already losing all my progress. I am happy to ( and have) pay/paid a number of times so it is not about the money it is about giving players a fair go..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Game shuts down frequentlyHello! I just started playing this game a few weeks ago and I really like it. There are a couple of things that get kind of frustrating. One is that the game will just shut off and go back to app screen causing you to lose your coins and resulting in you having to replay and use more coins to replay the round you just finished and won. Also, there are times when you don’t get vowels while playing and after using your free swap you have to use moves in order to swap out tiles to get vowels often causing you to lose because you ran out of moves unless you purchase them which I have done. Otherwise it’s a pretty cool game..Version: 2.4.0
✓ SmhI don’t know what this developer was thinking when s/he decided to put ads in the game for every move and after winning a level. It makes me think a FOUR YEAR OLD develop this app. The ads are ridiculous!! I will NEVER pay to remove an ad. The developer make MILLIONS A DAY just by players downloading and logging into the game to play it. Playing the game counts for even more. So with ALL of these ads they are really racking up. I just started playing last week and on level 200+. I can’t continue to play a game that full of ads. You spend more time watching ads than you do playing. In the middle of playing, there goes an ad interrupting your game. It’s was good while it lasted. I’m about the delete this game!!! It’s not designed to enjoy playing. It’s design to rack in revenue from ads. A toddler would get tired of watching ALL those ads! You cant contact anyone about the game. I NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN in ANY LANGUAGE(S) that a word doesn’t contain a VOWEL. The game gives you nothing BUT CONSONANTS & NO VOWELS. I don’t understand that. How the heck can you spell a word without vowels? Also, words that are actual words, they don’t allow those words. This game is a joke and the joke is on the developer. I haven’t spent one bronze penny on the game and will never spend any. It’s too childish of a game..Version: 3.0.0
✓ ConfusedFirst time playing. Don’t understand which tiles are new. Comment says “new tiles must be in a straight row” or something similar..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Way too many stupid ads and poor gameplayI want to give it zero stars but I cannot. This game is completely annoying. Ads after pretty much every move or two. Ads after every level completed. Ads after bonus. They constantly give you full hands of tiles that are completely useless. Lots of q, z, y in your selections. No scrabble that I’ve ever played sucked this bad. They don’t use a standard tile set. They purposely block tile spots so they cannot be used. Way too much animation distracts from game play. Worst scrabble game I’ve ever played. Stick with words with friends..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great Game But!Overall interesting game however the continual requests for in app purchases had put me off. You cannot continue to play for free. It is solely structured to collect payment which is disappointing..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Great, but...Love the idea. Hate all the ads, will not pay to remove. Piggy bank should be free when filled.. with all the ads this uses, the devs should have plenty of money to have an all free game. Also, lvl 299 .. there is dL, no dw. Tried 3 times... what’s wrong with this lvl. I saw others have probs w it too. Would love to continue playing, but if no way to get passed this, will delete. Plz respond in kind about how to fix lvl 299, consider free play with as much ads as y’all use..Version: 3.4.0
✓ No vowelsI’m still playing because I love the game, however I did just play a game where I had 12 tries, and out of those five of them had no vowels. I had to keep exchanging my letters and each time would only return me no vowels. How can you expect anyone to play a game that is set up for you to lose and less you spend money, it’s not even just challenging it is impossible. Please try to correct this problem, Not to mention I have played about five or six games this morning but same thing continually happens. It’s OK if I wanna spend a ton of money every day playing the game but I don’t.Version: 2.6.0
✓ AnnoyedI really like this game, but updated when the last change came about and lost all my points and progress. I had stupidly paid for the pass and all of that was lost as well. Now there is a further version which means I will lose again and I can’t get into the game without upgrading. Shame on you developers..Version: 2.12.0
✓ All consonantsI would give this game a 5 star review, but when you get to the higher levels, I have to trade all my letters and lose a turn,sometimes 3 times in one game because I get all consonants which makes it impossible to win. Have stopped playing since you have to basically pay to play. Update. Tried again today, three trays with all consonants. So frustrating, this doesn’t happen with any of my other word games. Especially when it’s so expensive to play!!!! Deleted app. They have done nothing. Plus I find it very curious that out of hundred games I’ve played both on my I pad and on my phone that I never ever get the high number of coins ever when I win a game... On my iPad I choose the top 3?, on my phone, I choose the bottom 3?. Never ever got the bonus coins. This game is rigged to make you spend more money, and way more obvious than other games. Bye..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Could be greatThis game could be great but it would appear that making you buy extras is the main focus. Rack after rack of all consonants to make you buy a extra letters. To play this game you need to watch every ad going. Don’t bother!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ More ads than gameThere's is literally more ad time than game time on some levels. The remove ads pay option is way too expensive. Pity, it would be a great game otherwise..Version: 2.6.0
✓ What comes after level 90?There appears to be no game after level 90 😢.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Too many advertsGreat game but too many adverts and too expensive to pay for no adverts and then wanting more money for extras. I appreciate you have to make money but this is ridiculous.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Great game, greedy companyI love the game play. I like the scrabble type of challenges that change up regular through the levels that ke things interesting. The levels art short making it easy to play for a short time and then move on. However! Shortly after the game figures out you like it, the ads start getting more and more frequent. I buy the no ad package. Ok it will be worth. I find it odd that you never pick the higher value stars. Obviously it is not random or in over 100 picks, I would have gotten 1 larger one. But ok, it is a freebie, I am ok. Then at about level 20, you stop getting any vowels, forcing you to use moves to swap letters and buys or pay coins to replay rounds. Too bad a concept in overwhelmed by greed. If the company fixes the algorithm to make it fairer, I will adjust my rating. And oh yeah, the games crashes some..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Bait & Switch by DevelopersI used to enjoy this game, enough so that I paid the one time fee to play ad-free. However, since you’ve updated the app, the letters provided typically include only one vowel, necessitating the player to watch an ad to receive a free tile. Or the letters on the player’s rack will be so awful that the player is forced to watch an ad or pay for the boxing glove assist to replace chosen letters. I find it impossible to play without watching constantly ads or continuously paying money. I am sad to say goodbye to what was once a favorite game, but it feels like the developers pulled a bait & switch, offering a price to play the game ad-free and then forcing an update that now negates what was promised, in an underhanded way..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Keeps crashing since updateEnjoyed playing this game but since latest update it keeps crashing.Version: 2.5.2
✓ TOO MANY ADSI’m considering deleting this game because there are way too many ads in It. It seems the longer you play, the more ads come on. Now it’s every time I complete a puzzle and some of them are really long. I really don’t feel like waiting for a full ad to complete just to move on to the next puzzle It really ruins the continuity & the desire to continue playing and I think $9.99 is too much to pay to remove them. Just my opinion, but it bothers me enough that this is the first review I’ve EVER written for a game app. Does anyone agree with this? I haven’t read a lot of reviews yet, but so far I haven’t seen any regarding this. BTW, I do play games with ads in them, just not this many. Update: I just read more updates and my mistake, there are plenty complaining about the ads. They continue to say they will address this, but so far nothing..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Way to many advertsJust updated to latest version, had to wait and wait for adverts to finish before even getting started with the game, turned it off. shame games not bad..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Too many ads!!!!!I am not one to write a review but I had to put my 2cents in this time. This is a fun scrabble game. You get to compete against yourself basically, which is what I prefer personally. There seems to be some good incentives for winning levels and so far no issues with the game being glitchy. My one issue is AD’S,AD’S & more AD’S. I get that you need to provide them for free play but to have them pop up after almost every move in a game is overkill. And it didn’t start playing that many ad’s until i reached the 2nd level. I was kinda hooked from the beginning but I will probably delete this app after dealing with that after a few games..Version: 2.13.0
✓ Total Rip OffMoney is taken but in app purchases do not register. Never gives you useful letters so you must pay to win. Free gifts and bonuses don’t help..Version: 2.6.0
✓ I like the app but....The game is fun and holds my attention, but the ads are a pain to deal with. I am not paying $9.99 for ad free, but if I have to endure them, please make sure the ads don’t have a glitch. Some ads have the “x” so small that you cannot click on it to get back to the game or it does not recognize that you are clicking on the “x” trying to get out of the ad after it runs. The only option left is to turn off the phone or iPad and start over. I am not happy with that. Update: I don’t like the fact if you accidentally push the lightbulb, you have to use it. Please fix! Also, the bugs are not fixed with regards to the ads. The issues are worse than before..Version: 2.5.2
✓ App Keeps Dropping OutThere was an update today and since then the app keeps dropping out. When I won a level it drops out and I had to play the same level again so far I have lost 600 coins as I don’t get them back. Not happy..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Word buddiesWay too many ads to watch while playing , really disrupts game play. Couldn’t really get into the game because of it. I don’t mind watching ads to get extra coin or something ...or at the end of the game, but after every move i have to watch a 30 second video, too much.Version: 2.7.1
✓ Could be betterTo many different games, can’t seem to finish any!.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Needs better instructionsSo this is a basic scrabble game and it’s enjoyable BUT there are no explanation for these power ups or “extras”. For instance, I have a TON of gems but there is no explanation what I can use them for. So I keep accumulating and have no use for them. I’ve tried googling, searched every last screen in the game, no explanation at all. Plus when you’re playing the computer mode, some of the words it uses are ridiculous and it’s like you’re playing a scrabble dictionary because 90% of what they play you’ve never even heard of in your life. Also, Facebook group is useless unless you want live videos of people doing tarot card readings Plus my screen doesn’t look like others - they have lives and I have gems and need coins to play. This doesn’t make sense!!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Update has ruined it!Updated it as required and now keeps crashing. I’m not happy, very disappointed and feel cheated after spending £6.99 on in app purchases less than 24 hours ago! 🤬🤬🤬.Version: 2.5.0
✓ RidiculousUnable to open the game.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Too glitchy.Too many advertisements. Very glitchy. Once you watch the ads you tend to get kicked from the game. Too bad. Great little word game. Really enjoy it when it actually works..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Ruined a great game with greedI have serious issues with several of the game boards. There is at least one board that seemingly cannot be surpassed. All pathways to the black and white square are blocked and it is not evident what is required to get around the roadblocks or break the bricks blocking access. I also have a big problem with the number of coins required to buy a letter, an extra move, clues, and losing turns to swap hands. Also, using up your boosters but not knowing in advance if the boosters will help. Finally, most of the boards cannot be played in the few moves allotted. I have spent entirely too much real money on this game only to feel like I have been scammed during play. I enjoyed the game for a while but I would be crazy to continue throwing money away on a game that is not very fair. The game developers did “compensated me by giving me 1000 coins. If you have ever played this game, you know 1000 coins is meaningless. Let that sink in...1000 coins is meaningless. I have wasted thousands of coins (and the real money to acquire them) on this. I’m sorry to say, but I’m done. It’s a pretty cool game and can be addictive. Hopefully someone will take this under advisement and make some changes..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Beta Games hacked meAfter playing this game for months and making multiple purchases, I find myself back at the beginning of the game with no coins/diamonds. My progress has been totally wiped out and the thousands of coins/diamonds have disappeared. I have made several attempts to reach the support team regarding this issue and not a single person has offered to help resolve the issue. I am extremely disappointed with Beta Games and will continue pursuing a resolution..Version: 2.11.0
✓ Such potential but just after moneyGame was awesome up to level 6. I’d paid for a starter pack to get going, which meant I could buy letters to unlock rounds. But once your money is gone the only way you can progress some rounds is by paying more money! Rack after rack of pure consonants doesn’t make for an enjoyable word game!!! Just deleted the app to prevent further frustration. Such a shame as had great potential!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Latest UpdateI used to love this game but your latest update is abysmal. Ads during play and hands without a single vowel to encourage people to spend real money is so disappointing. I would have given the game 5 stars yesterday but today I’m considering deleting the game and finding a new favourite..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Scammed and no response from the “support team”Do not spend any money within this app. I paid to remove ads and it worked for a bit, then the ads came back. I contacted the app’s support and they responded at first, requesting my user info. They then assured me the issue would be resolved in two days and since then it’s been nearly a month of me periodically reaching out to them for any update, unable to get any response. I very rarely spend money on an app and it’s been so frustrating just trying to get what I already paid for. If you do download this app do not waste your money on in-app purchases..Version: 2.19.0
✓ Nothing specialDecent game spoilt by endless adverts. Get 2 words get an advert, finish a level advert, new level advert and then my interest is lost. Also far to expensive to make this really enjoyable. To really get into this you will have to spend actual money as as per usual not enough coins or gems are won to enable a decent length of play. Another easy to play nice little time waster game ruined by greed..Version: 2.5.1
✓ I like this game..BUTShame that after every move there needs to be an ad! Gets most annoying, so you stop enjoying the game..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Too many adsDeleting this game. Unplayable. Too many ads..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Too slowSaid I’m a scrabble player yet I’ve still got to go thru boring low levels like a 6yr old. Job done, deleted..Version: 2.4.1
✓ SpellingWhen your ‚brian‘ is 99 years old because the makers of the game can’t actually spell. The game is slow and lame. I played for a few rounds as I do like a good word game but this one is just bad. Would have preferred to give a no star rating but that‘s not possible..Version: 2.4.1
✓ New updateI really enjoy this game but the latest update added “lives” so you can only play if you have them AND you still need to use your coins to pay to play. On top of that the option to get coins every 4 hours (?) is no longer there- at least not anywhere I can find it. Once I’m out of coins I will probably delete because I’m not paying for more. I chose his game because I could play it whenever I wanted unlike other games. Now it’s just like the other games!.Version: 2.15.0
✓ PAY UP EACH LEVELI don’t think it’s fair that you should have to pay for BONUSES every time you LEVEL UP.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Too many adsLike the game, but the ads are repetitive and annoying and I quit the game after few rounds..Version: 2.16.0
✓ Still too many ads....Why don’t you think about making it only an option with rewards if you view ads...?.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Fun game but rip offWay too many ads this company gets money off the ads that play after every game over and over Also you want to buy a letter or clue costs you 300-1200 coins and when you win you get 30-80 coins. $$$$. The developers of this game are a Chinese company. No thank you!!!!!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Anti- Semitic, derogatory termsWhile initially the game fun I was very surprised when was trying random letters at one point, not realizing exactly what I was entering, until it accepted the word “kike”. When I clicked on it for its definition it said “a Jew”. When I wrote them about it and asked how their “acceptable” words were selected they refused to answer. When I again inquired and reminded them that no derogatory terms are acceptable they simply commented that they would take out all bad words. Who knows what they actually consider bad if this was allowed. No remorse for their “oversight” or actions. Basically a short handed auto response. Unacceptable! They are disgusting and prejudiced! UPDATE: Despite repeated attempts to find the resource of their word selection they refuse to acknowledge and just give the automated response that they will be removed. Again, no accepting responsibility or reassurance of steps taken to resolve this situation. DO NOT PLAY and tolerate their horrible behavior!.Version: 2.7.1
✓ Really fun but soooo expensiveLove the game and the concept but you have to pay or you’ll lose almost every game. Also, I have played so many games where I get nothing but consonants hand after hand. It’s just too frustrating. Oh yeah, and did I mention expensive?!?!.Version: 2.15.0
✓ One of the better word gamesEnjoy the game play and is quite challenging but is very irritating to go through a whole game and not get given a single vowel! Clearly done to get you to spend your coins and then real money but it really spoils what would otherwise be a 5 star game. Plus way too many ads, though you can skip..Version: 2.5.2
✓ SQUASH THE BUGS PLEASEOkay so I’m going to start off by saying that this game honestly would get a full five stars from me for its uniqueness and challenging/fun gameplay. I have been hooked ever since I started playing THIS MORNING. Yeah, after level 9 the ads started getting obnoxious, but I was more than happy to pay the $1.99 to remove them. Haven’t had a single ad pop up since. The issue, however, is the fact that I’m unable to interact with other players at all. Either nothing happens when I tap on someone, or I’m told I have a network error (which is not the case). I can’t communicate with people on my team, and I can’t challenge other players. I’m also a bit salty about the fact that I won the tournament by a landslide, having last checked the standings with 13 minutes left. I wish I would’ve taken a screenshot, but oh well. I was given exactly one coin for “participation” and the tournament just started itself over without honoring my victory. Which is a bit annoying, especially if that’s just going to happen over and over. I still sincerely enjoy playing this game THAT much though that I’ll continue to do so just for the fun of the levels, but I know eventually I’m going to hit some kind of brick wall glitch. DEVELOPERS PLEASE COME BACK AND FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS ACTUALLY A WONDERFUL GAME AND I WANNA EXPERIENCE THE WHOLE THING.Version: 3.4.0
✓ FixedBefore you’ve had a chance to think about the game either an advert appears or a chance to ‘win’ a bonus, therefore ending your game. And if you manage to keep a game going, you get no vowels to make a word! The game is fixed and really frustrating.Version: 2.7.1
✓ Great potential but “DON’t” bother downloadingThis game has great potential. Unfortunately you will not be able to progress unless you are prepared to pay £4.99, regardless of accumulating required number of tokens (as a result of successful game play). I would advise anyone who is considering downloading this game to read all feedback before doing so. If I had, I would not have downloaded this game. Very disappointing as this word game certainly stands out (positively) in a sea of mundane, same old, word games. Sadly, I will be deleting this game as I am not prepared to spend money continuously for the privilege of playing it. Come on developers, don’t you earn enough from the constant ads?.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Grrr candy crush glitz sort itSo frustrated love this game but on the adds comes up candy crush and takes you to add it lose the game lost so many coins through this fix it !! I do not want to download or add candy crush !! Spoils the gameplay.Version: 2.14.0
✓ Shocking advertsI loved playing this game until today when an advert appeared for “Hunting Clash” which showed a stag being shot. Disgraceful and I cannot imagine how this would be appropriate for someone 4+..Version: 2.13.0
✓ New update was so bad I deleted the appThe game itself WAS a lot of fun, but they kept doing so many updates to the game that made it more complicated to play. For instance, it use to take 500 coins to get help for a bonus word or bonus letter which was hard to get to because they don’t offer many coins on anything. They then increased the coins to 700 for help. Which was really really hard to get to. I would have to watch ads every day to get more coins for 1 time to play. I would end up buying additional coins which I have historically never done. Now with the news update the 1200 coins needed to get 1 Letter of help is outrageous. Because of that I deleted the app. The 1200 coins wouldn’t be bad if you gave more but with each app update the coins given have remained the same so now it’s just unobtainable. When I went to go write this review I learned the app is always tracking me- so with everything stated above - I deleted the app. Lost revenue for this company since I did purchase many times from in app purchases..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Froze on beginner levelsI opened this on both my devices and froze in the same place both times. Also if you pick I am a scrabble player - why the baby levels Deleted sorry..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Bummed...I really enjoyed this game at first. I’m not a good speller but I enjoy a good game of scrabble which this game is kinda like. At first it was easy making my way to new boards and then when I couldn’t finish one that’s when the real money started to weigh in. I like playing but I can’t afford to keep playing and if you don’t spend real money you have to wait forever on daily bonuses to be able to play. It has now became unenjoyable and I’ve deleted the game..Version: 2.13.0
✓ Alright.I like the game for the most part, and have been able to get into the 40’s without spending any money. The thing I don’t like is that the ad I was shown before I downloaded the game is not like this game at all? Seems weird to false advertise a game—guess they figured no one would click the ad if they thought it was a twist on scrabble?.Version: 2.19.0
✓ Okay, but....Game seems okay, but all the mindless kiddy bits really put me off. Need an adult version where you don’t have to watch cartoons, click boxes open or, for pity’s sake, have something flying across the screen when you are trying to play..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Has potentialCan't progress without spending actual money..Version: 2.4.1
