Total rip off5 attempts to play the duel game, 5 times it crashed on me therefore losing me my lives and awaiting me to spend 150 coins to not lose my place even though it was the APP that crashed while it was showing the adverts!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not spend on this game and do download it as I hess my be reported this crashing and not heard a peep from the developers!!! App now deleted, was a good game until they started these duels and it is ONlY on the duel games that it “happens to crash”- coincidence don’t think so.Version: 1.29.11462

Annoying asks for moneyFirst off this is a good game. It’s in my top few games and I play everyday. It’s also my most expensive game as to remove constant annoying ads you need a subscription. I don’t mind paying for a good game. But once I’ve paid, it’s very annoying how many pop up’s I still have to cancel asking for money for spins and other bonus purchases. Even the free ones are annoying as they take time and offer a pittance of reward. The constant ask for monetization, especially after you already have my subscription is killing this game for me..Version: 1.55.15106

AdsGreat game but every single turn, you have to see the longest ads and sometimes even two.Version: 1.53.14838

More bugs than a flea bit motelBlack screen after every second game and all those ads"! Good concept if it wasnt so annoying. No thanks!.Version: 1.44.13322

Too many adsI cannot play a proper game or going to the next player and ads pop up from everywhere.Version: 1.64.16536

Too many adsEdit: I launched the app today and was served two ads before even seeing the start screen. Unacceptable, deleting now. Too bad because I liked the game. Plus, the “survivor” players are clearly fake Fun game, with a stupid amount of ads. I would even pay to remove them, but at $3 for a week? What a rip off.Version: 1.55.15106

Good game, BUT frequent long ads.The game is good, and fun. And can be be played in only a few minutes, or even for hours if you are in the mood. But in the free version the ads quickly start to become annoying as they pop up about every 2 to 4 turns. Many of the ads run for 30 odd seconds and must be watched to continue playing. ( These are different, and longer ads than I get from other games.) I clicked on the “No ads” icon, intending to pay for this game, as I do like it. BUT, firstly, it was an endless subscription payment system, which is just a way to extract undeserved money from people when they stop playing the game for a while and then forget about the subscription. And secondly, the subscription price, once it starts to add up is FAR too expensive for this particular game. Sorry. But if you weren’t so greedy, you’d have me as a customer, and several of my friends. And most likely several of theirs, and so on. That’s a pity, because this is a good little game..Version: 1.16.9683

Needs lots of improvements!Not sure how this game has such high ratings. It’s pretty messy looking outside of game play. The menu, challenge page, and so on. On top of that, you don’t earn gold quickly which forces you to have to spend money to use power ups. (I don’t spend money on any games.) And when I have earned coins as rewards, it never shows up in my piggy bank. I still says I have 7 coins. The only way to get a lot of coins is to spend money on their piggy bank to break it open. It’s sad that no phone game is fun anymore. I hate that everyone does subscription based gaming. I wish it was like consoles. Buy it, and no more cost after that. Just pay once to play the game, and that’s it..Version: 1.59.15879

Too many adsGood game but too many ads which makes it impossible to keep playing. Paying to remove the ads is ridiculously expensive and not worth it..Version: 1.50.14390

Too many adds & phone overheatsI refuse to pay for add free but they sure try and force you too. Deleting game because of adds and my phone overheating. Otherwise fun.Version: 1.63.16429

Why has the quick 50s versus disappearedUsed to love the quick fire 50 second turn versus game within Wordgrams, but since the last update this has vanished. Also the ads now come up over the letter selection which means you have to keep exiting and restarting the app. It’s highly annoying and has taken the enjoyment out of playing..Version: 1.23.10676

Fun, good time killerI do enjoy the game and subscribed for the year ad free which you have to - the ads will kill you. Have experienced a few issues with freezing, but reopening the game usually works without loss of turn or time. Have had issues with stalemates at the end of games though. Both players are passing without placing a tile to ensure the last placement however each time I seem to be the one who is forced to forfeit, whether I initiated the first pass move or the opponent did. I find that very frustrating and likely enough for me to wait out my subscription period before cancelling.Version: 1.25.10945

Can you please add more ads?I don’t think I had enough. Also can you please try to hide more the buttons to close the ads ? Thank you.Version: 1.59.15879

Great games - poorly placed adsThis game is great. It’s challenging and a great concept. Pity that the ads block the functionality of a game (often a banner ad will block the back button). Really makes it unplayable and it is why I have removed it.Version: 1.62.16301

Ads ruined itBeen playing for a while now, at first it was good, I mean the ads were in between turns in a game. I understand if it’s free you gotta watch ads. However, in the past like 2 days or so, ads start while I started a turn in a game which is super annoying. It interrupts, and honestly doesn’t make me want to play anymore..Version: 1.64.16536

Too many adsFun game in theory, but there are way too many ads to make it enjoyable. To remove ads, you have to pay $3/week.Version: 1.59.15879

ERREUR DE TÉLÉCHARGEMENTIl y a eu une erreur pendant le téléchargement de la nouvelle version et mon jeu ne fonctionne plus..Version: 1.58.15618

Enjoyable but seriously disruptiveIt is a fun app to use as you can play with yourself as well as others but the amount of ads is ridiculous and seriously disrupts the flow and barely gives you the chance to complete the word..Version: 1.53.14838

Developers where are you?You made such a fun, yet challenging game that I am fully addicted to. Why did you ruin it with such an excessive amount of ads? In 30 minutes, I got 6 turns that lasted 60 seconds each (2 were 120 seconds). All the rest of that time I watched ads. Do the math here. The whole idea is for players to actually PLAY the game, not watch ads or pay a monthly fee to remove them. If it was $3-4 to remove them permanently, I would have done that. No way I’ll ever pay a monthly fee for it. It’s cheaper to delete the app. Lastly, where are you guys??? You respond to everyone’s positive comments, but I’m not seeing any response to the feedback about the ads. My question is do you have any plans to change this practice? I’d love to keep the app, but I absolutely will not if the monthly subscription to remove ads doesn’t change. Others are complaining about it too. Hopefully you all will do the right thing and very soon..Version: 1.63.16429

Great game great company but ..One of the few companies that really listen to users and explain “upgrades”. And yes, it is addictive. But… How can I have lost when I was much better than my oppo in all but one of the categories. I had 4 bonus squares, 5 to 1 using all letters, better word average… It doesn’t make sense to me. I can’t believe I wrote the bit above. I’m done with this game. Too many ads. In the middle of a timed solo game even. REALLY??? The timer doesn’t stop for ads either. So how can I retain my 100% record? it’s SUCH A SHAME as this was one o& the best games ever. Get rid of the over dependancy on adverts, I’ll be back..Version: 1.32.11802

This Game Inspired My First Review…I love this game, I truly do, but the ads are absolutely ridiculous. Now, I don’t mind paying for a game, especially one I enjoy; however, I don’t want to get ripped off either. In order to get rid of the ads you have to pay a monthly subscription. You’ll never outright own the game. Again, not an issue, if it weren’t for the RIDICULOUSLY ASTRONOMICAL PRICE. I mean, there’s an ad after every turn! Presumably, the developers are making money off these ads, so why charge so much to get rid of them? Aside from the long and annoying ads, the game itself is so enjoyable. I’d love to give this game 5 stars, but not unless the price to get rid of the ads is a bit more reasonable or the ads aren’t as long/repetitive. Legit shame..Version: 1.48.14020

WORST LAG EVERThe game itself is great however the app is horrible.. constantly cutting in and out, closing down suddenly, lagging terribly, letters not moving to where you put them. Downloading the ad games, uninstalling the app etc. have not worked!.Version: 1.25.10911

I want to give it 5 stars!I love this game, love the concept. But it’s extremely glitchy and slow. It will freeze between every letter placed, and sometimes twice between TRYING to place a letter. It’s very frustrating and makes me want to just delete it even though I love the game. I also have a brand new phone, so it’s not like I’m trying to play on a piece of junk. It’s the game, not my phone. Also, I would pay for the game if it were a 1 time charge. I would NEVER pay weekly or $25/year to play a game, especially one with THIS many glitches. Please fix it so I can change my rating!.Version: 1.25.10877

A little unplayableThere are so many ads, it’s fine to have ads but sometimes it plays when your in a middle of a match thinking of a word and the matches are timed. My biggest problem with the ads is that a lot of them freezes and I know it’s not me because every other device in my house works just fine. Because the ads freezes you have to restart the game and good luck if your in the middle of a match because you automatically loses if you restart the game. The game lags a lot, there are solo games that requires you to type and you have to type really slowly or it will skip letters, then there’s also the problem of the game constantly zooming in when I pick up a letter and try to place it in the square. The game is a great idea but it just has way to many problems for it to be enjoyable..Version: 1.32.11850

Game is okay way too many adsGame is fun but you can’t play without getting a million ads. That is why I’m deleting..Version: 1.55.15106

LaggyI tried playing on a couple different wifi conections but it was still laggy, even tried with my hotspot… Could be a really fun game if that was fixed...Version: 1.25.10911

UNPLAYABLE 👎🏻👎🏻Can’t even play thanks to constant pop ups and ads. Also it keeps opening up my safari app to some sketchy website and I don’t even click anything. Im definitely NOT paying $2 a WEEK to get rid of ads haha. I’d maybe pay a one time payment to get rid of ads forever but not weekly. gmfu😂😂 ADs aside there’s just way to much going on, things constantly popping up about different challenges and spin the wheel a thousand times (which u gotta watch an ad to do and you got to watch an ad to claim the prize ;) )I just want to play the normal game. Just a terribly awful app. I get they need to make money but when the ads disrupt the entire playability of your game.. you gotta know something is really wrong there… so sick of this garbage cluttering the app store. The game at its core is a great concept I only turned to this app when the old one shut down but this one is awful. Don’t recommend at all!.Version: 1.64.16536

The ad count is obsceneDoing a single player game. Get 3 ads before it ends. 3rd ad, I get back, I get to place 2 tiles in about 1 second, and immediately back to an ad. That was literally nearly a minute of ads for 1 second of gameplay. It’s too much. The game is semi-interesting, but repetitive (you’ll quickly memorize a lot of the clues). But it doesn’t matter because you’re spending literally 80% of your time watching ads. I’m NOT kidding..Version: 1.53.14838

Game seems funEnjoyed it up until the ads came flooding in after every match so no, it’s not technically free. It costs up to a minute of your time after every round. Can’t tell if it’s pay2win either, I’ve never gotten a +5 letter unless I swapped my letters out using coins and I know so many words with the bonus points but I just never get the letter even after a perfect round. More coins = much higher chance of winning. Good game, waste of time with ads.Version: 1.53.14838

BrokenFun to play, good concept, but insanely broken. Opening the app initiates a loading screen that takes ages and then, halfway through, suffers an error that starts the loading over again. Games load partway so the countdown starts but half the clues haven’t loaded in and are still trying to load by the time your turn ends. Submitted turns get error messages that they were unable to submit because the request timed out. Restarting the app means, you guessed it, more broken loading screens. Various buttons stop working randomly. Go ahead, restart the app again—you might get somewhere in about four minutes when it manages to load. I’ve spent significantly more time struggling with the app than I have actually playing. I really want to keep trying to play this but it’s driving me mad. After less than two days, I’m uninstalling to save my sanity..Version: 1.58.15660

Love the game, BUT …Way too many ads; freezes a lot and need to restart; chews through my battery. Absolutely enjoy the game when it works, but the frustration level is HIGH. 😕.Version: 1.54.14947

Too many adsI love this game but there are more ads than any other game I’ve ever played. And the cost of ad free is unreasonable. I’d be happy to pay up to $7 annually but $40 is ridiculous.Version: 1.16.9683

Just resignThis game allows a max of 20 active games at one time. It also lets players ignore their turn until their opponent resigns just to be able to keep playing and THAT is the real game here - trying to find people who will continue to play after they get bored or realize they’ve met their match. They win via wait. I waited 72 hours since I was unable to start a new game with anyone because all 20 had me waiting and just resigned from everyone cause I hadn’t been able to play outside of practice since the 1st few minutes I started playing. What’s reasonable time to take a turn? A day? A week? I’d be ok with that, anything really. They should call this game “Just Resign” cause you’ll play for a few minutes and wait until u “Just Resign” so u can keep playing..Version: 1.2.5882

I really enjoy this game but the adsThis is a super fun and engaging game, but I’m going to uninstall it very soon because of the amount of (as well as length of) ads. One of the solo mini games requires you to tap on the clue to change the direction of the input. Every few taps I get an ad. So if I accidentally tap a box it will bring up an ad. Not only that but most ads are 1 full minute. I play in between my customers at work or waiting for tasks between dinner but the ads make it nearly impossible or enjoyable. The only way to stop seeing ads is to pay for them to stop, but even then it’s expensive because the fee only covers one month at a time. It’s a great game but I won’t be playing it much longer nor recommending to my friends..Version: 1.46.13719

Too many ads to get into the groove of playingWould be fun if it wasn’t 90% ads. Avoid..Version: 1.53.14838

Too many adsThere are so many ads in this game, and they’re all quite long as well. Really reduces the enjoyability of the game since it’s quite fun, but the ad-free option is very expensive..Version: 1.52.14751

Ads ads adsThis game has more ads than I have seen in any other game. The players play too quickly to be real people, I am sure they are bots they pretend are people. Clues are repeated quickly. This could be an awesome game I would enjoy but it’s a little frustrating..Version: 1.43.13165

Game great but ads let it downThe game itself is great and can’t fault that however it is let down by the amount of ads which causes your phone to crash and/or overheat so you can only play it for a limited time to let your battery cool down or have to reload as crashed..Version: 1.53.14794

Predatory Game of AdsBasic game filled with ads. You have to watch these ads and the buttons to close the ads are tiny. Every time you press a button, it makes you watch another ad. The devs aren’t thinking about longevity or even the users enjoyment. These inappropriate ads are their main focus. Apple should be setting up rules and regulations to stop this abuse..Version: 1.54.14913

Great potential lost to money-grubbing tactics.I wanted to love this game, I really did. Competitive, accessible crosswords with a leveling system and new daily puzzles? Sign me up! But the incessant ads, the sheer greed with which the developers try to wring money out of you (Seriously, $4 a week, $10 a month, or $50 a year to remove ads? Not even a one-time purchase?)c the fact that I started running into the same clues after only a few games (not to mention that some of the clues are just abbreviations?)… it all really soured the experience and ruined any desire I had to touch this game again. Try it if you want. It’s genuinely fun to puzzle out the clues, earn league cups, and unlock new game modes to try (even if the “Word of the Day” is a blatant Wordle clone). But don’t spend money on this game. You deserve better..Version: 1.52.14658

Great concept but too limitedCan only have 4 turns per game which is silly when it means you cannot complete. Also waiting a whole minute per turn filled with ads is frustrating. I like the idea with the scrabble like feel with the letters but it’s just long winded and ad filled. Deleted after half hour.Version: 1.58.15618

Not bad but not greatThe concept of this game is very good and extremely fun to play, however, it is let down by the price of the in-app purchases and the VIP status. Even being a VIP, there are still ads that pop up and it seems very expensive for what you get. The coins are difficult to earn, yet buying a bundle of them is a ridiculous price for the amount you purchase. This is the same for gems. It seems that everywhere you turn, a new cost comes in to it. It’s such a shame that a brilliant app is let down by a major fault :(.Version: 1.51.14616

Has Potential, Riddled with AdsThis game had the potential to be the next Wordle, Sudoku etc, but the developers clearly prefer quick ad money which ruins the game. The ads never even work half the time so your left having to quit the game and restart it and waste time. I would have bought the ad block if it was a reasonable price like £1.99/£3, but a subscription is humorous! Especially at £40 a year. It is clear the only people that would buy it are kids that shouldn’t have access to their parents money and do not understand the extortionate price for an app. Sad to see an amazing game with great potential falling down the same rabbit hole that ruins all startups, look at Bitlife for example..Version: 1.52.14658

Way too many addsWould have kept but you spend 95% of the time watching adds. Too bad. It’s a fun game.Version: 1.54.14947

Bots and scam adsFor these supposedly “real people” I’m playing against, they respond back way too quick to actually be anything other than bots. That, and they know what the word will be far too quickly, and make really odd placements of letters when choosing where to place them. It’s very obvious a majority of the “people” you’re playing against are actually robots. Additionally, while the ads are annoying, it’s manageable. However, what is completely unacceptable is the sudden launching of my phone’s screen from the app to a safari webpage displaying a classic “you’ve won a contest!” scam. This happened multiple times. The risk this app provides of downloading a virus because it forces you onto these scam webpages is ridiculous. The game itself is alright, but not worth the downsides..Version: 1.63.16429

Fun game, Experience ruined with adsI’m all for ads in exchange for a free game but the ads are so frequent that I feel it’s hard to enjoy the actual core game. I understand the business model but the ads appear so frequently that I end up turning the game off so I don’t have to watch 3 5 second ads every 2 minutes. Apart from the ads, it’s fun, lots of different game types and the UX is really good.Version: 1.48.14035

Chill outNo game anyone with a brain will play is willing to tolerate one ad per your one minute round for each play..Version: 1.55.15106

Constant crashing issues - ads at every turnSuch a great game but keeps crashing or losing internet connection which is not my end as I can access everything else online fine. Edit to add is this game runs so heavy on ads that my phone is literally burning up whilst using. The motherboard will end up fried and my phone plays up due to heat that I can’t even have a running gameplay with someone as I need to exit the game after every turn..Version: 1.50.14390

ADS ADS ADSI love the game it is addictive even though the clues get repeated quite a bit. The Ads as always are ridiculous in the amount that is shown & the money they want you to pay. I’ve paid £1.99 for a week free ads but when that offer is over I shan’t pay again. I’m new to this & have played with mostly bots. Always ready to play as soon as you jump on. The least you could do if you want people to pay silly amounts of money for Ads is to get some REAL humans to play with…Drains your battery on the phone very quickly..Version: 1.59.15879

Ad Farm Full of BOTS!Ad farm with a smidge of gameplay. Just watched a forced ad? Here, have another forced ad. Did you have the audacity to not touch your phone for 5 seconds? Then you’ll have a forced ad. Did you just watch an ad to claim a ‘free’ spin? Here, have a forced ad on top. Did you dare place a few letters? Have a forced ad. Because of this, it drains your battery so quick and heats up your phone. Every person you play against is a bot. Unless you get someone you know to download the app you will be playing against bots. Which leads me to the shocking pricing to remove ads. It’s subscription based, £8.99 for a whole month to play against bots. Scam. The concept of this game is so good but they sold out massively. Massive thumbs down..Version: 1.63.16429

Too many ads!Fun game to play but the amount of ads every few minutes drains phone battery quickly.Version: 1.58.15660

Not sure what’s changedPaid for an add free game because I do really enjoy it, and at the start for about a week it was great able to play a game from start to finish in about ten minutes and your “opponent”wouldn’t take long to do their turn. Now it takes three to four days to finish a match because the opponent only takes turns once or twice a day so I have to have multiple games going at once. Have emailed support but probably just going to cancel the subscription because the add free is stupidly expensive.Version: 1.50.14326

Very fun game. Very big flaw.This game is a great concept and very fun but there is one aspect of it that makes it extremely frustrating and it happens at the end of the round. When you get to the end and there’s only about 3-5 spaces left, it seems like the number of letters it gives you is entirely random. It seems like every time if I have the turn and there are only two spaces left, it’ll only give me one letter, making the other guy win even though i had a big lead. Conversely on the other guys turn, there will be 5 spaces left and it’ll give them all 5 letters, once again making them win despite me having a very large lead. Very frustrating and needs to be fixed/regulated..Version: 1.24.10759

Friendly GameShould be able to play against your friends, this would make the game way more interesting in my opinion..Version: 1.25.10945

AvisJeu le fun , mais trop cher et trop d’annonce donc j’ai arrêté de jouer.Version: 1.57.15419

Too many adsToo many ads it makes the app glitch and there’s just an overflow of them that it makes u not want to pay to remove them because it’s so ridiculous.Version: 1.63.16429

AdsToo much for ads!.Version: 1.58.15660

Ads are too much!This is a fun game, however it inundates the player with ads. There are ever-present mini ads on the screen, an ad after each turn, if you do a free spin, you must watch an ad to collect the prize. Even if you pay to remove ads, you still need to watch them to collect any prizes. This was fun for about a week, but the ads make the game too annoying to play, and paying to remove is lot worth the cost since it doesn't remove them all. Also, for the most part, you're playing against AI players and not real people, anyway. I'd pay once (no more than $5-$10) to remove ads forever, if they actually went away. The game is fun, but you'll spend more time watching ads than playing. Deleting..Version: 1.59.15879

ReportI want to report a person with supposedly the name of king coyote 69 from US. Won I was winning all the time and because he doesn’t know who to lose he keeps doing rematch again with me and the last game I was winning him again and them he didn’t want to put the words again and again, he was just putting done without putting a word and the end they finish the game letting him win, I was winning 23 in a row and this guy was cheating and you let him win. This is the worse thing, letting people play cheating and getting their way, because they don’t know how to lose. Is I already won him several times, why you let him to rematch me over and over again. People like them you don’t have to let play, if you already play with someone and you want to play again you should put them with another player not with the same one over and over again. I been trying to make a report about this and I can’t, it doesn’t give me the option to make a report and that’s why I’m writing this review. Also that my app keeps closing by itself all the time..Version: 1.39.12748

Frustrating amount of adsA good app ruined by frustrating amount of ads 😡.Version: 1.64.16536

TerribleWorst app ever. If you love to watch adds and restart a game every two minutes when it crashes then I guess this is the one for you. The game itself, yeah, it’s fun but don’t think that you can actually play. It crashes NON-STOP! You get to watch non stop ads (they don’t do much for you, just money for the devs) and then the app will crash. Yet again. Half the time, the adds won’t even play. Crash. Crash crash crash, play a letter, ad, crash, ad etc etc. You get the point. Not enjoyable..Version: 1.25.10911

Be very careful of the VIP subscriptionsWarning for those who accidentally subscribe to the VIP deal or not knowingly it keeps on charging you $5.99 every 7 days. Apple review process and this app developer does NOT giving you any or even partial refund for the things that you never used or play. I would stay away from this, just wasted over $80 on this. I hope there is some response from FunCraft !.Version: 1.54.14947

To many adsIt’s a good game, but there’s too many ads what I like about it is just lots of cool updates recently😎 overall I’m satisfied.Version: 1.62.16301

Too many adsI enjoy the game but there are far too many ads. I don’t think it’s necessary to have an ad after/before each turn. It’s not going to force me to pay for the no ads option. All it will do is make me look for a better game..Version: 1.51.14553

Too much adsDuring a match there is too much advertisements between each tour. It’s quite annoying.Version: 1.58.15660

Rigged money pitHad high hopes for this game when I first started playing it, then the ads staring pouring in. After about 5-6 games, I was really enjoying the game, and then it started not giving me any letters I needed and the opponents (who were ai I’m pretty sure), seemed to have the right tiles everytime. The only way to get the correct tiles was with gold that realistically you had to pay for to get a decent amount. In review the game had good first impressions, then it rigged itself to the point where you just had to spend money to get anywhere. I shouldn’t be surprised, mobile games have all fallen into the same pit these days..Version: 1.54.14913

Too many adsCool game but asks for money after every turn. Too many ads. Not worth the deals it offers..Version: 1.51.14616

Racist wordsI’ve been playing this game consistently and haven’t had too many issues with the game crashing. But I will say, I find some of the words used in this crossword to be offensive and racist. At first, I brushed it off thinking it was a one off, but the more puzzles I played the words kept appearing. Definitely not for me..Version: 1.64.16536

Forced Ads- Immediate uninstallThe game forced ads down your throat in the first 5 seconds of playing the game! why would i sit and watch ads for a game i haven't even played yet!? if you had made them optional for upgrades i would have watched god knows how many for you by now Dev.Version: 1.51.14511

Too Many AdsThe game is good, but too many ads..Version: 1.52.14736

Rule change is badThe new rule change takes away a strategy. Explanation? Sometimes throughout the game you have a hard time figuring out what the pictures are trying to say, so you do your best but can inevitably fall behind. The only way to catch up sometimes is when you get to the end, and have managed to work things so that you can get a bonus square that enables you to take the lead and win. By taking away that ability to not use every tile, if you fall behind by a certain amount, there’s no need to try finishing the match because you now have no way to catch up. If your opponent happens to pull ahead, even if you get some words, if they get lucky and manage to hit the bonus squares first, you have no strategy left to even try to win. The rule change is ridiculous and breaks the game. You will need to try to get the bonus squares ASAP now instead of actually using strategy to play then at the best time. There’s a similar game to this called Kryss which I guess I will go play instead because this new rule change absolutely ruins this one. They say it was based on player feedback? Perhaps those players need to learn how to actually use strategy in the game instead of whining about “hoarding.” Absolutely awful and a terrible rule change..Version: 1.17.9732

Who am I playing??I have been absolutely obsessed with this game since I started. I mean, I truly love it! Why two stars? Today I played a game against a “player” called Karen G. Karen G was playing her turn in impossible fast time. As soon as I pressed Done, Karen G had finished her turn, I’m not talking about a second or two, she’d done it instantly. The first few turns “she” was playing one letter only then, all of a sudden, she turned into a super fast genius! I had thought that the speed of the Survivor game was too fast ie. It doesn’t account for any players taking the extra 30 seconds for watching an ad. I tried this: I completed my turns in about 7 seconds and watched to see who was in the next game, and was able to start the next round immediately. Then I took the extra 30 seconds and there was everybody there waiting for me to finish so how is this working? Someone, the other day thought the game was rigged because of the letters dealt, I don’t think that’s been true but today I really felt that I was playing against AI. I don’t know, it’s just not fun when you’re playing a machine..Version: 1.59.15879

Ads are next level- makes the game unplayableAbsolutely no way to avoid seeing ads constantly. Makes the game unplayable. Every turn. No matter what you do, you will be spending more time watching ads than playing. The paid option is a beyond unreasonable WEEKLY, payment. You will be paying more for this game than an console level game. Went to the shop and bought a book of crosswords for a £1 your move.Version: 1.55.15041

Ads are getting too muchLoved this game but the forced adverts are getting way too much. Seem to have doubled in a week. And the cost to remove them is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a shame as was my favourite game. Think I’ll be looking for similar with either less ads or cheaper to remove ads & uninstalling this one 😖.Version: 1.51.14511

Update to my first reviewTl;Dr the game itself is fun. The ads are insufferable and too frequent. The paid version is not worth it and expensive in the long run for this type of game. I really wanted to continue playing. I considered the paid version. The price is not a fixed price and can be expensive in the long run and this game is not worth it. The alternative is seeing unskippable ads after every turn. The ads are terrible too, some say 30 seconds but after the timer goes down it doesn’t give you an X, there’s an arrow which makes the App Store pop up with the game from the ad. You have to close that and sometimes it makes it pop up again or there’s a second timer before the X pops up. I ran into a few games with a fake X that just launches the App Store. I just realized that many of the other players are indeed bots but that hasn’t been a problem as I have 20 win streak. I have used this app for two weeks and can honestly say that the developers are very greedy with ads and the paid version. I also saw that even with the paid version you have to watch an ad to get extra coins..Version: 1.59.15879

It’s okayThe main reason that it’s a bummer is because EVERY TIME I CLICK ON NEXT MATCH THERES IS A FRICKIN AD it makes it more difficult to play. Another thing is you can’t play offline, the reason why is since I feel like these ‘people’ I’m versing with are like NPC 💀💀(If they are then MAKE IT OFFLINE). Another frustrating thing about the app is that sometimes it just glitches then kicks me out of the app. I don’t know if it’s a me problem but most times it takes a while for the app to load. I’m trying my best not to hate it but these annoying ads, I do like the game tho 😭😭.Version: 1.55.15041

No supportI really like this game BUT can't get any response from support. There are three prices for VIP yearly subscription with no explanation of the differences. I have emailed support twice for information with no replies. I'm not about to pay the yearly rate without knowing what I will be getting. Also I have supposedly linked to Facebook but cannot get my profile picture to change to the Facebook profile picture and am stuck with a bland generic grey silhouette. No answer to that issue either. Both my wife and Injave signed up for a month but will delete the app if we don't get answers by the end of the month..Version: 1.44.13322

AdpocalypseAds make it unplayable.Version: 1.53.14838

Great game but very glitchy!This a super fun game and specifically so for those who enjoy puzzles that make you think. Perfect for wordsmiths of all types. The singular continuous issue with this game I find is that it can be extremely glitchy and slow to load. It freezes frequently during game play. I thought it could be an issue with my phone but have since eliminated that avenue. The daily puzzle is enjoyable except for the constant “intermission” (ad break) that appearsI would consider buying the full version but definitely NOT until the bugs are worked out! But all in all keep up the great work..Version: 1.63.16429

Game and ads keeps hangingAfter the update of the new game version, my game keeps hanging on me. I have to get out of the game or end it before I come back to play. It’s so annoying and frustrating. It gives me a Blank or dark screen when it hangs on me..Version: 1.62.16301

Missing key gameplayThis is a novel idea, but falls down in execution. First, there is no single player mode. Most people who enjoy works games like myself, enjoy the relaxing, non-competitive nature of notate of these types of games. To at insult to injury, they actually force you to accept a multi-player game the first time someone invites you to play. There is no ability to decline. It darkens the screen and only allows you to either accept the match, or close out the game completely. Second, the game is timed even when you are in the tutorial. This adds a great deal of stress to the experience of playing (and not the good kind either). There is no option that I could find to play an un-timed match. They could have even offered an asynchronous option for multiplayer, but no dice. Finally, the clues are truly awful. I play a lot of crossword type games (both with pictures and without), so I’m used to deciding the clues. The ones here are so random and obscure as to be entirely obtuse. It takes the fun right out of playing. Aside from these issues, there were many other small annoyances. For example, it wouldn’t let me use my first name and last TWO upper case initials of my last name. This all added up to frustration, rather than fun. I suggest you keep looking for a better option..Version: 1.3.6173

Kills time but glitchyI like the game but it Keeps freezing… currently stuck on an ad that I can’t get out of.Version: 1.54.14947

The game is great but…The game is amazing, don’t get me wrong, the only problem is the add's (I’m not saying remove add's because that’s an income they need). The problem is that the add’s have playable functions so if your with an iPhone SE, iPhone 10 or lower, your phone is going to heat up so much and get so slow that you can’t even use the phone, not even resetting the phone works, you just have to wait it cool down and come back to normal to be able to use your phone again. The two main add’s that do this is the fish solitaire and the tiki solitaire, please fix this, change the add’s or something similar.Version: 1.25.10945

Cheats you out of your livesI love this game! I play it everyday and I really hate that I’m about to delete it!! However it makes my iPhone very hot and drains the battery very quickly and then it’s starts to freeze up, then the game will just kick you out and when you go back in it …it has taken one of your lives! I have send support 2 emails about it with no response. Then you can be in the lead by over 60 points and using all five letters every go, then the computer will come back and play five letters and score over 100 points instantly making you lose! Also when you are doing the challenges it give the computer the letter to place on the x2 and plus 5… making it impossible to bet the computer! Was a fun game but they taking my lives at not fault of my own and the cheating for the computer it makes it hard to even wanna play!.Version: 1.33.11927

Far too many adverts.The game is great, I’ve always loved arrow words. HOWEVER the amount of adverts in each game is frustrating and ridiculous. There’s adverts at beginning of turn, half way through a turn and at the end there’s multiple ones whilst waiting for your opponent. And then guess what? Another just before your turn. Far too much!.Version: 1.50.14390

Great game, annoying ads and expensive subscriptionReally enjoy this game, the concept is really addictive and fun! Many different game modes to keep you interested. Downside, the adverts are CONSTANTLY interrupting. After every turn, mid thought on some game modes - it’s infuriating. I would normally consider paying to remove ads on a game I enjoy, but not for £3.49 a week/ £8.99 a month. That’s more than I pay on my Netflix subscription. I think the cost of removing ads needs to be reconsidered, as otherwise I would rate this a 5 star game..Version: 1.63.16429

Good game. But too many AdsGood entertaining game. BUT. To many ads. Just as much Ad time as there is Game time, even though ads are constantly showing while you are playing. Want to give 5 stars, unfortunately the cost for no ads and the amount of ads prevents that. Not sure how long I’ll persist before I delete game..Version: 1.51.14553

Needs the glitches fixedI pay to play this game and it is constantly kicking me out. Sometimes I watch adds to get more bonus points and the ads won’t let you get back to the game. If the glitches were fixed it would be a good game.Version: 1.36.12449

Doesn’t workI can’t play, the new game button doesn’t do anything. I rebooted my iPhone and it still doesn’t work. It makes me feel like the app is malware and it’s just stealing data..Version: 1.62.16301

Great app, but soooo many ads 😢I really like this game, the only problem is it has so many ads. & to remove ad is quite expensive 😢 (Please lessen the ads).Version: 1.52.14751

Too many adsWay too many ads for the game to be playable and enjoyable. Deleted after 20 mins of play. Super long ads and too frequent. To remove them costs ridiculous amounts of money. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.55.15106

Promising app but some issuesLove the game and it has great potential but only seems to work well if both players are live. If you have a game with someone and they go offline (green dot by their name goes) then you are waiting for their turn, which never comes! You then have to resign the game - they then appear in your challenges but when you click to accept it says they have resigned and you have won! Trainer games are ok and when I’ve caught someone online also fun but otherwise it needs work to address the online game issue..Version: 1.3.6173

Frustrated 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡I just want to play what is a great game but in the middle of my game I keep getting ads popping up. It is sooooo frustrating. Plus they are really bad game ads and some of them in my opinion should be banned..Version: 1.25.10877

Fun game but way to many adsThe game would be fun if I didn’t have to sit through so many ads. 1/3 of the time the ads crash so I have to reboot game. I watch more ads then actually playing the game. I know you need ads for revenue but this is just taking the mickey..Version: 1.16.9683

Fun game too many adsIt’s a very fun game but way too many ads and to the price to get rid of them is ridiculously expensive..Version: 1.57.15419

Really good game but so many adsI found this game very fun and super addictive. However, there are too many ads!! Where my letters were supposed to be, there was a pop-up ad so I couldn’t see or use my letters to win! And, after each match there was another ad. But, if there wasn’t so many ads I think this game could be more enjoyable..Version: 1.29.11383

So many ads and they crash the game 👎🏼Ads after every move, to switch to the next game?! Excessive much? Worse than this, they freeze, crash the game and you end up losing your turn. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.31.11703

Great game ruined by adsAs the title says, the ads are during the games and require several countdowns to finish, often go blank and restarting the game is necessary. iPad is hot and chewing thru the battery power while playing….Shame.Version: 1.42.13084

Greedy AppI loved this game. Truly I did. But due to the sheer volume of ads in it I decided to time my play time. In 10mins of playing I spent about 2.5mins actually playing the game. The rest was me being bombarded with ads one after another. Whilst waiting a turn to play I had to sit though three ads in a row. And sure you can pay for no ads but it comes at a premium price and an ongoing annual payment membership. This game would do much better offering its players a once of fee of $10 for no ads and leave it at that. If you want to charge an arm and a leg for no ads maybe design a better game and you wouldn’t have to try and sell memberships to line your pockets with..Version: 1.51.14553

No ads is expensiveThis game challenges me and I love it but the ads drive me nuts. I’m happy to pay for an app to make it ad free but strongly object to a $60 annual subscription..Version: 1.39.12748

FLAWEDI have been plaing this game for a while and have enjoyed it. However somethig has gone wrong. I purchased a couple bundles over New Years and money was withdrawn from account and yet the tokens were not received, notified Apple they were unable to help. tried again yesterday and same. I am made several purchases with no issue. Please check my game play, you should be able to see this. I play across a couple way iPad and Mac. Please respond..Version: 1.41.12973

Ads are a killerIf you want to play ad-free, you can't buy the game, you can only subscribe. You're kidding me with those prices! One year of ad-free Wordgrams costs the same as a triple A console game (that you get to keep). If you don't subscribe, be prepared for the ads to overheat your phone. They're all unskippable, 60 seconds long, and show up after EVERY turn. It's too bad because the game itself is fun, but for less than that subscription price you could have all of Skyrim, Genshin Impact, and years of Runescape. Pull yourself together..Version: 1.64.16536

Great game but too many bugsLoved this game but has too many ads. Ads constantly displayed at the top of the screen and then ads whch play after every turn you take. I normally dont mind ads but started minding when it was causing my phone to crash. After deleting the app my phone is completely fine- no longer crashing or slowing down. Think this app has too many bugs which caused my phone to keep crashing (which it never has done until I downloaded the app)..Version: 1.22.10547

Issues!There are too many add’s and the game crashes every 5 minutes. Please fix this! I would love to enjoy the game without any faults. Thank you!.Version: 1.25.10911

Great game but…I absolutely love this game, however, the app itself makes my phone really hot which in turn causes the app to glitch. I would love to blame it on my phone but it’s the only app that does this. Especially now that I don’t pay for the ad free version, the extremely long ads that play every other second causes me to have the app open longer and takes away from my playtime because I have to close the app out to get my phone to return to normal temperature. I’m now also experiencing buffering on the pictures for games when it’s running hot which takes away time from my turn because I can’t play if I don’t know what picture I’m trying to guess.Version: 1.41.12973

Fun but Has Some IssuesI really enjoy this game and the different ways/puzzles/challenges you can play. The only things I have issues with are: 1. This game blocks my phone from auto-locking as I’ve set it in my system settings, so my screen just stays on unless I exit the app. This causes my phone to get super hot because I’m not used to having to explicitly exit an app after playing a turn and waiting for another player or after an ad finished playing. No other game/app I have does this. Please fix this because it is a security/safety issue. 2. The ads are absolutely bonkers. Ad to get back to the lobby, ad to start a new turn, ad once I complete a turn, ad to view this page, ad to go back to the lobby from viewing a page. It’s like every single click causes an ad..Version: 1.43.13165

Amazing, but ads ruin the experience!This is an amazing game and is really addictive, but the amount of ads (basically each time you finish making your move) just ruin the experience and is a complete let down! The ‘ad-block’ subscription is just a joke!! I would not have minded paying a one off fee for removing ads, like nearly all other apps do, but a yearly subscription of £40 is just a money grab from the developers! Really hope they change their strategy on this one!.Version: 1.59.15879

Too many addsSuch a good game, obsessed with it at the moment however the adds are really getting on my nerves, ITS AFTER EVERY GO. i get it and that adds are part of it however it’s ridiculous and ruining the game for me now, will shortly get too bored of them and will stop playing please reduce as i do enjoy this game!.Version: 1.58.15618

Ne fonctionne plusLe jeu gèle depuis la dernière mise à jour. Impossible de l’utiliser..Version: 1.64.16536

Too many ads every sec 😡The game is fun and I liked it but there are way too many ads. The games doesn’t feel enjoyable. Plus the app keeps glitching..Version: 1.59.15879

Love the game but too many ads.Love the game. The clues do repeat them selves but I never know the whole puzzle. I change board sizes often so I get a mix and end up forgetting some of the clues. Keeps it challenging enough to be interested. Only problem is the adds. There is an add after every turn. I have 6 game boards and to respond to any of them I have an add. Even playing the computer there is an add every turn. The subscription is silly. I’m not paying $5 a month for no adds. There are other word games I can play. I feel myself closer and closer to deleting and I’m losing interest because of the amount of ads..Version: 1.35.12120

Too many ads!!As stated many times before there are too many ads. I’m currently getting ones after every move which is ridiculous. Reduce or have affordable buy in options otherwise I’ll not be bothered playing anymore.!.Version: 1.18.9859

Ads GaloreThe Developers have taken a wonderful premise for a game between like-minded players and completely ruined it. How you ask? By the incredible amount of ads! You blink, there’s an ad. You play a move against another player, there’s an ad. You switch between games / matches, there’s an ad! Good game ruined..Version: 1.54.14947

Is it worth $100 a year - NoIn order to play the game in any sort of meaningful way, you’ll need to subscribe. The price you pay doesn’t really make sense. As you progress up the leagues, increasingly you realise that playing tactically towards the ends of games is the only way to win. Some players blank their turns which ultimately in some weird quirk allows them to win - this is where you want to hurl your phone out of the nearest window and curse the developers for allowing this to happen. For the money, it needs to be a whole lot better!.Version: 1.24.10759

DisappointedIt could be fabulous game but the ads were prohibitive so I couldn’t even play properly. I could handle ads in between levels but ads in middle if game is beyond a joke.Version: 1.27.11158

Great game, inappropriate adsI downloaded this game and my teen daughter and I were playing games frequently but the ads for ‘breaker fun’ are really odd and sexual. Not really an ad I would expect for a crossword game. Please be more selective for your sponsorship.Version: 1.25.10945

Are you kidding me!??I love word games and when I came across this recently I thought it was great. Fun, challenging, relaxing. But those long ads after EVERY TURN?? Just beyond annoying. I finally broke down and paid the ridiculous price of $4.99 to remove the ads for a month. (Most other games I play charge less and remove them PERMANENTLY. ) So listen to this, folks: They removed the ads that play after every turn, as promised. BUT instead of awarding me my earned coins at the end of a game, they made it so I have to WATCH AN AD before I can get the coins! That’s right - NO coins are given to me anymore unless I watch an ad first - the exact same long ads I just paid to get rid of! What an unbelievable low-down CHEAT this was on their part. Don’t fall into this trap like I did. I spent the 5 bucks for absolutely nothing. My choice is to either put up with the ads or never get any coins. Since the coins are needed for game play, I am stuck between the proverbial rock and hard place. Much as I enjoy this game, I will be deleting it. Shame on these dishonest game creators..Version: 1.26.11019

Ads 50 % play 50%If you download this game, expect to play for 50% of the time and have ads forced on you the rest of the time. I hate games that have ‘ad intermissions’ especially when they happen every minute. Nothing is worse than breaking your flow with constant ads. And to top it off, there is no ‘ad-free version’. You have to pay for a subscription based service that costs some ridiculous amount PER YEAR, or you can pay the same amount that Netflix costs a month, for one week of ad-free playing. Just don’t do it..Version: 1.53.14794

Buggy and too many adsFun game but freezes regularly and stopped opening entirely past the loading screen so I deleted it. Way too many ads and way too expensive to get rid of them..Version: 1.53.14838

Fun but…It’s fun to play, but all the ‘players’ are just A.I, and you have to pay actual money to get coins you earned by playing. While playing against other ‘players’ there’s no ads but if you play solo games or boss games there’s ads every 30 seconds or so. It’s very very laggy too and really chews up the battery life of your phone.Version: 1.49.14225

AnnoyingThe game itself is fun but between the app constantly and I do mean constantly freezing or crashing and the non stop ads it’s really not worth it. Also never had a problem with my phone over heating except when using this app..Version: 1.62.16301

Time passerStarts off good, then you start getting tiles that can’t even be placed anywhere. Then when opponent has filled the board as you couldn’t move anymore , suddenly next go a few tiles have changed and you can do the last few.Version: 1.62.16301

Not greatThis game is actually very fun but I have found a few issues with it.. the game it’s self crashes alot after ads the screen goes black and doesn’t budge there is ads after every single game so it crashes after every set of tiles which is really annoying and to top it off it makes your phone very warm it’s the only game I have ever played that has done this but when I play this game my phone get hot and I have a brand new iPhone 13 so it’s not like I’m in an older version. If these issues were sorted and there was a little less ads I think more people would actually play it..Version: 1.21.10426

Too many adsI am used to having to deal with ads in games but this has ads after every single turn oh don’t forget the ads before your turn too. It’s faster to quit the game and reload it than deal with them. Why not pay to remove ads forever you may ask, believe me that would be fab but I’m not paying a weekly subscription of £3.50 A WEEK to do so. The developers want to rob people. For this reason I’m giving the lowest one star it would be zero if I could. Sort out the ridiculous amount of ads and this would be a very enjoyable game.Version: 1.50.14390

Good game...when bots cooperate!I moved to Pictawords after a pretty dull experience with a similar game. It’s a huge improvement over its competition! However, I have two “bot” games that have been stuck for 8 days. The bot stated the game and sent a friendly chat which is normal. After several rounds the bot stopped playing. When I went to the chat hoping to nudge them back to life, they appeared to come back online to take their turn. Sadly, this was a false alarm and the bot went back to their dormant state. There is no way for me to delete the game without forfeiting, which I don’t want to do. I emailed the developers with no response, and their recent update didn’t resolve the issue. However, the game is amazing otherwise and I enjoy playing against others who actually play within a decent timeframe!.Version: 1.5.6661

App crashingFun app but it crashes constantly after one of the numerous adds. Cut back a bit on the adds and fix the crashing and you’ve got a great game..Version: 1.63.16429

Cool game but…This is a cool game apart from the ads! There are too many and paying $15.99 a month is way too much! Would be happy to buy the game for a one off cost but not an ongoing payment.Version: 1.48.14035

Great game but ad overloadThis is a great game, which so addictive, I don’t mind the bot players that always seem to let me win. But… there are too many ads and it ruins the fun. The amount of ads makes the phone over heat, slow down and crash. Can’t the ads be simpler ads, rather that the playable/energy consuming ones? I ended up trying the subscription and even though I paid I started seeing the ads and being asked to subscribe. 🙄 Tried accessing support via the in game settings and it wouldn’t work. Resorted to finding the developer support email and contacting them that way. Issues still haven’t been resolved and I have paid!!.Version: 1.27.11133

Too Many AdsThe game itself is great but every click turns into a 30-60 second ad, and it gets old real fast. Rather than paying a few dollars to get rid of ads (like most other apps) they ask for a pricey subscription to be paid. You’re better off getting a crossword puzzle book and doing it with a friend than wasting your time with this app..Version: 1.63.16429

AdsWay too many.Version: 1.57.15419

ADVERTS RUIN ITSuch a shame. Worlds longest ads and literally every go, on their go, before and after my go ads ads ads I mean it’s just ridiculous. I’m used to ads lasting 10 seconds but these are min 60 secs long and you have to click the cross/skip on them about 5 times to get rid. I lose focus in the game and cba with it. No wonder turns take so long between players. The 60 seconds you get for your turn is no where near long enough after you’ve endured about 5 adverts..Version: 1.35.12143

Glitch & FreezeI’ve really been enjoying this game up until the last few days. It keeps glitching, giving me a blank screen with only my letter tiles and freezing on the duel journey screen to where I have to exit the game, close the app and start over. Now I am seeing a big square ad in the bottom center of the screen and I can’t use the home button. The only option given is New Game and when I click it, I get a new game with no board, only letters. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and closed out the app many many times. It is even more frustrating than sitting through all the ads. Please help!.Version: 1.51.14616

That’s it?The game itself is super fun when it keeps going. There is practically a commercial at every step of the way. Even when rejecting the “bonus” I am subjected to an ad to get to the main page. Considering you are tracking my info. I and ur4 there must be a loophole to keep me active on the app even though it is mostly sitting around waiting. To pay for only a week of respite is ridiculous. The barrage of ads makes sense at this point. There are other games that are free with in-ap purchases that are not this annoying or advantageous. It really is too bad because the game itself is intriguing. Too bad. I am already getting bored and going to play my other 6 games that don’t take advantage of my time and data..Version: 1.62.16301

Crashes ConstantlyHonestly there’s a crazy number of ads but I can understand the developers make money this way. But the ads cause the game to crash CONSTANTLY. Sometimes one will just pop up on the bottom of the screen over the keyboard and you have to exit the game because you can no longer type any words…. (And no, the x doesn’t work to close those ads.).Version: 1.54.14913

Avoid this gameAs much as I enjoyed this game is as much as I despised this app with the endless ADS. I’ve had to delete it because after every turn there’s an AD, after one click, there’s an AD. Only Solution? Was to delete the APP. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP..Version: 1.57.15419

Not really worth itThe game itself isn’t terrible, but my complaints are similar to other reviewers. The subscription ad thing is completely ridiculous. There should be a one time ad charge option. Having to purchase a subscription or watch a terrible amount of ads is a huge dissatisfier. My other complaint is when you get to the final turns. It sometimes gives you only one letter although there are 5 spaces left and sometimes it gives you all five or even three. This happens regardless of if you’re in the lead or losing. There’s no rhyme or reason why it happens and can sometimes cause you to lose because of it..Version: 1.28.11264

Ridiculous adsThis is one of those games that constantly bombards you with ads in hopes that you’ll get annoyed enough to pay for an ad-free experience. I’m not opposed to doing that when it costs a few bucks, but I won’t be paying the prices this app is charging. It’s a shame, as the game is a fun concept..Version: 1.52.14751

Love it, but GlitchyIt will work for a couple of rounds and then start glitching. It will say I took my turn and got points for a turn I never took. The board stays the same. The other player never goes and then the game sits there because it says “waiting for the other player” to take their turn. I end up having to resign the game and hope it will work the next time and it never does. I turned notifications off thinking maybe it had something to do with the notifications. I also tried not to exit the game board if I see the Other person is playing but nothing has worked. Please fix this because the game is great. I finally uninstalled it because I have 20 games I can’t finish!.Version: 1.2.5882

Fun but very brokenSo I never usually leave reviews on apps but this game is just so frustratingly broken that I thought I would leave one so they can hopefully fix all the bugs. First of all, the game itself is very fun and highly addictive but even you’re half way through playing your turn and it ends your turn after 10 seconds so you have to restart it can be annoying. I’ll be placing my letters and all of a sudden it tries to tell me that my turn is over so I have to back out to the main menu, watch an ad and then go back into the game that I was already in for my turn to then be restarted and sometimes this happens 3 or 4 times in a row with the same game. There is also box ads that come up at the bottom of the screen which BLOCK YOUR LETTERS so you have to restart the game to be able to even do anything. Then there’s the random crashing and I don’t mean just the app but it will make my whole phone restart from time to time. I know this isn’t just mine as my friend has the app also and this happens to them too. It’s annoying because the game itself is very fun but pleaseeee iron out the bugs as they are so frustrating.Version: 1.51.14553

Aggressive addsWas just starting to get the hang of it when the Adds became so frequent and aggressive advertising games we all know don’t actually exist. You can pay to remove them but the cost is utterly ridiculous with a daily charge. The adds were coming after every single move.Version: 1.48.14035

Less ads would easily make this a 5⭐️gameI thought by paying for all the extras and subscriptions that I would be able to enjoy the game with less ads…wrong. There are still a significant amount of ads even with a paid subscription. If you have a five minute break to play a game, four minutes will be wasted watching ads. These ads are brutally long. I have timed the ads which range from 48 seconds to 1 minute and 27 seconds, which feel like an eternity when you just want to relax and play your game. Would love to love this game but the ads are unbearable especially when they are about great games without ads. Sadly, this is another great game ruined by ads. ~Ellz.Version: 1.59.15879

Why fake opponents?This game is actually really good fun, however for some reason it is set up with clearly fake opponents? The profile pictures look like they have been cut out of magazines, they message to say “Good luck ☺️” then later if you do a good move message “wow you’re really good at this”. If you haven’t been online all day and do a move they are immediately online and ready to play. It’s just a really disappointing thing to do to the real players. I would rather play real players than bots. Plus it’s a bit insulting to your intelligence that the game designers would think this would fool people? Really odd thing to do..Version: 1.7.7782

Ad HEAVY!!! HEAVY!!The game is very fun to play. However, the free version is inundated with ads. You spend more time watching ads than actual playing. You’ll get a question about your preference for ad free and the cost or “continue seeing ads”. If you don’t pay, get ready for a long run of ads!! I gave 3 stars just due to watching ads more than actual playing. Free spins are frequent BUT to collect the prize, you guessed it, you have to watch an ad. They’re not brief either. I finally gave in and paid. Wow….still ADS upon ADS!!!! You get a “free spin” but to collect……you guessed it ADS!!! If you opt for more time and extra coins…..ADS!!!! The paid version removed a few ads but you’re still inundated with ads!!! This is the worst game I’ve ever played in regards to ads. So, be prepared to spend more time, paid version or not, watching ads!!.Version: 1.62.16301

Was enjoying until..Game is quite addictive, multiple game modes and play against friends. Only problem, RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF ADS!! This has taken advertising to another level! Unless your prepared to pay you are going to become extremely frustrated very quickly!.Version: 1.51.14616

Eesh, all those ads!I'm gonna be honest, they're is all lot of ads. Not a problem for a free game, what's annoying is when you've watch the ad and it doesnt give you the possiblity to close the ad to go back to the game. That is frustrating, I've watched the ad, I do not want to install the game so just show the x so I can move on! Also what's up with the piggy bank? I've gamed hard to get those coins but I have to actually spent real cash to get them. I'm stuck with 20 coins to use altogether. This option sucks. I really dislike the piggy bank. Do something about these 2 issues and your game is golden! Fun game of it's not for the ads..Version: 1.55.15106

Too many adsLove the game but the game keeps freezing and too many ads in between games had to delete as it’s just too time consuming actually watching ads instead of playing it..Version: 1.34.11991

1min of gameplay = 2min of AdsThe amount of ads is extremely disruptive, especially when the game is about concentration and thinking. The clues are repetitive and a lot of them don’t make sense, more like a bad translation of English. Longer time players have an advantage. And once the game is complete you can’t see what the final answers to the obscure clues were. There is more time spent forced to watch ads than actual game play. This game severely drains battery and makes the phone get hot.. suspect there is more than just a crossword game operating on this app..Version: 1.54.14947

1 major issue that needs fixing.The game is fantastic and addicting! Only issue i have, which puts me off playing the game for a few days - is when your opponent takes their turn and you’re looking around the game (shop, daily challenges etc..) You can hear your opponents pieces being dropped onto the board, but in doing this, it freezes the game completely. I have to close the game and re open it to regain function..Version: 1.61.16223

Really great game but…..I really enjoy this game and play every day, but…. Way too many ads, and way too expensive to get rid of them. Crashes every now and again. The most frustrating thing is when half way through a game your opponent decides to stop playing and take a day or more to make the next move. This totally ruins the flow of the game. The lightening matches solve this but you can only get 300 cups rather than 500 that you get on a standard game..Version: 1.32.11850

Good game except from amount of ads and p2wThe game would be great but unfortunately there is a pay to win aspect, players at the beginning being able to place random letters, hitting the x2 and +5 then all of a sudden only able to put 1 letter down. Take out the place letter and other options in pvp. Also seen other reviews saying letter assignment doesn’t seem random, it really doesn’t at times. there is a large amount of ads but as it’s free to play, doesn’t bother me too much. More the p2w option in pvp, take it out!!.Version: 1.52.14751

Good game but….Too many ads.Version: 1.61.16223

GlitchyI really do enjoy the game but it’s awfully glitchy. Buttons stop working and an app restart is needed for it to work again. I hope devs fix it soon. There has been many updates, so not sure what’s happening..Version: 1.58.15660

Very annoying adsThe concept of the game is good but the amount of ads is SO frustrating and highly annoying! Ads not just at the end of a game but between turns and sometimes two ads between a turn. It really turns me off the game.Version: 1.14.9501

Great game but so many glitchesExcellent game but it has so many glitches. Freezes a lot, kicks you out and you lose points unexpectedly. Played in a 7 day tournament with over80,000 points accumulated by day 6. On day 7 points unexpectedly goes to 500? Not sure what that’s about..Version: 1.25.10877

GlitchesGames aren’t loading and it makes your phone overheat..Version: 1.62.16301

The ads are redirecting me to websites???The game is okay, not exactly what the ads show but I didn't mind it until every time I clicked anything on the game it would open safari and open up to a page that I did not chose to open. Let me reiterate I wasn't tapping on only one area I tried all around my screen so I definitely wasn't clicking on an ad. I don't think it was a malicious site as i searched it up and google said it wasn't but I am deleting this app because it said to delete the app that is redirecting me..Version: 1.21.10426

Doesn’t deserve a starThis game is so annoying, repeated clues, so so many adds. And the challenges are rigged, the scores are lowered when you reach the boss level.. it’s not hard to see that’s what you do to the game. Make it super easy to beat the previous levels, giving you high scores and then you hit the boss and the scores for finishing words are lowered..Version: 1.29.11462

Great until updateThis game was good up until this evening, now there’s ad after ad! I appreciate a game needs ads to get revenue and I loved this game because it had balanced it right… until today. Now it’s an ad every 5 seconds and long ones at that. To get rid you have to pay £8.99 a month. Such a good game and so disappointed in this sudden change, puts me off playing as you spend more time watching ads than actually getting on the game..Version: 1.63.16429

One of the better crossword apps except..Suggestion alert for developers!🚨 This is one of the better crossword apps I’ve played. I’ve tried a few, but this is my favorite. I enjoyed my free week of no ads, but after that I got annoyed. The ads aren’t long but I don’t like the ad that sits at the top of the screen in every game. It’s covering up part of the score and who you’re playing and other little details. I hate all the ads, which is normal. I like the option to get rid of them by paying, but why do we have to subscribe to play? Why can it not just be a one time purchase for no ads? I’d pay up to 10 dollars for no ads forever.. once. Think about making a one time payment for no ads and more people may pay! Especially ones who really enjoy this one more than the rest. Id give more stars if there wasn’t so many repeats of “clues” and if the paying for no ads were to change. Times are bad right now and many are cancelling subscriptions. The app also crashes very often. Luckily no progress is loss..Version: 1.27.11133

HiI like this game but I think I'm not going to play because every minute one ad is in and it's so boring when you see tons of ads every minute Please fix it.Version: 1.58.15660

Could be a 5 star reviewI love this game. The one thing that lets it down is ads 😭😭 They play an advert after every turn (approx every 60 seconds) it’s VERY frustrating!!! And you have to pay monthly to get rid of them. If it was a one off payment I would absolutely pay to get rid. But adding more to my bills every month for this game is never going to happen! Disappointing. I’m unlikely to play it for long while there are so many ads.Version: 1.32.11850

Where do I start…From what I see, you cannot buy ad-free permanently, it’s just for a limited time. (A week at a time, a month, or a year, however long you’re paying.) Why can’t I just pay $3/4 for no ads forever? They are not consistent with the spin and/or watching videos to earn diamonds to earn different tiles. One time you watch a video and it spins to see how many you get. (Limit of 3 spins if you’re lucky.) Other times, you watch the video for a measly 10 diamonds only. (Limits vary.) Now, with the August tiles, I’ve noticed I USED to have like 3 of the tiles in my collection. I don’t have the other 3/4 yet, they are left to earn. But it’s interesting that the 3 tiles I had are no longer in my collection, and I have to save diamonds to earn them back again. That’s how long I’ve been playing this game, a few years. Those were some of the very first tiles I ever got. I wish i could remove the last star I had to give to even make a review. Minor update: looking at the new tiles for October. At least 1/2 I’ve seen and had in the past. Like the mummy wrap with the eyes showing. Had that like 2 years ago. But they stole that back and are making me spend my coins to get them again. The earning of tiles is a jip..Version: 1.59.15879

Love it, but the Ads! 😭I want to start off by saying that I am a “game hopper.” I get bored quickly so typically, as soon as I download a game and play for a little, I’m deleting it the same day. I’ve had this game for well over a year now and I play it seriously every day, even if for only 10 minutes. It has a great mix between challenging and excitement. It keeps me on my toes and I really do think it keeps the brain sharp. However…I have one problem. THE ADS! Ads are a part of almost every game now. I’m used to that. However, this game has an ad after every single turn. Then, the worst to me, is when you’re playing the mini games within the app, like the solo challenge, every couple seconds, an ad pops up. It’s seriously like every 15 seconds and those games can take you up to 5, maybe even more, minutes to do! You know how many ads that ends up being?! It makes me frustrated and I quit every time. They have an option to purchase ad free…FOR A MONTLY PRICE! That, to me, is ridiculous. Any game I have actually felt was worth keeping with ads had an option to remove them permanently. I’d gladly pay to do that, but it’s not an option. I love this game a lot and I’ve even suggested it to others…but I don’t know how much longer I can take these ads without a permanent solution to remove them (and NOT by paying a monthly charge!).Version: 1.58.15660

Too many adsThere’s so many pop ups that it slows down and glitches my phone.Version: 1.62.16301
