Wordly™ for Negative User Reviews
✓ Nonsense words, inconsistent dictionaryI like the format, but their dictionary kills me. 2 masters degrees, 10 years as a librarian, and yet I look through the list of “words” that I missed, and it’s full of things I’ve never once heard or seen. And sometimes Spanish words, but not all, and not in any pattern I can see. I enjoy looking through the list to see what I missed, and feel like “oh, hey, I overlooked that, oops!” not “of course I missed that gibberish.”.Version: 1.42
✓ Ad-LyI love how this game makes me think and rethink. What I didn’t love is the ads that appear after EACH game. It’s annoying and intrusive, particularly when you click on skip ad and it keeps going….or starts over. Forget about playing at bedtime. Even with setting to sound off the ads play sound loud and clear. I just deleted. Love the game, not the frustration of my time being forcibly invaded so frequently..Version: 1.42
✓ Could be fun, but its notThe annoying font used forthe completed words makes the game more difficult , as does the huge size of the letters in the blocks. Word Blitz has a better set up However, I do like the running list of words found, and the fact that games can be replayed.Version: 1.42
✓ Good but….This is a great word game with NO ads! Only problem is the dictionary they use. Even when set to the traditional one they still have 80% words I have never heard of making it very difficult to find many words..Version: 1.42
✓ Acronyms!Yes on getting rid of them. The game is WORDly, not ACRONYMly. I do not enjoy all the non-words being included. I’ve stopped playing the game very often because of all the non words that are included..Version: 1.33
✓ Could be betterWould be better if it only included common words, not these 3 letter nonsensical combinations (even if they are words.. Makes it lame).Version: 1.0
✓ Crash and the puzzle is lostThis game keeps resetting, forcing you to start a new game. This is super frustrating. Please fix..Version: 1.42
✓ Bad dictionaryThe dictionary is bad and includes proper nouns, abbreviations, misspellings, etc. The free app is OK but definitely don’t pay for the premium so you can access the dictionary. It’s garbage..Version: 1.42
✓ You can't win.I have a more than average sized vocabulary in American English, a good knowledge of British, lots of words in french, spanish, german and latin, and music terms in italian. This dictionary seems to have words in no known language! On the non-timed mode, not possible to get all of the seemingly random word fragments. Even so, I like the game, much like boggle, spending way too much time with it. Thanks, I think!.Version: 1.10
✓ Too many adsThis game used to be great when it had no ads and I would have gladly paid to buy it prior to installing it. After having it on my phone for a while they performed and update that put ads in after every single game. I don’t mind supporting devs but hate bait and switch tactics. Uninstalling the game right after I post this review. I wish devs would be honest..Version: 1.42
✓ Word leak - Don't!Bor ing est app ever.Version: 1.0
✓ Disapponting ChangesWordly now had ads that are pervasive and annoying. In addition, I used to be able to suspend the play and go back to it. Now, the app puts me into a new game without warning or throws me into a space to purchase other games. For an annual $10 fee, supposedly there will be no ads; will I be able to finish a game without losing the original game? My conclusion: I am finished with Wordly..Version: 1.20
✓ App has TOO MANY Archaic Words, Abbreviations, etc., & NOW CRASHES Constantly!Sooo IRRITATED! Not sure what changed, but this app CRASHES every time I open it to play on my iPad, now! I have to delete & reinstall the app, but after a short time, it crashes again! HELP!!.Version: 1.27
✓ Broken dictionaryI’m a long-time Boggle player, which this game mimicks very well. I find the game functions well, looks good, and it’s nice that you can change the timer length. However, my biggest complaint is that more than half of the words in the official word count list are not real words at all so unless you spend time trying random gibberish you can never get a perfect or high score..Version: 1.10
✓ Fun but misses wordsThis is a great game for those addicted to words; however, it lacks a complete internal dictionary of possibilities as many words I've found are not accepted such as eden or opa. Some French, but not all, words accepted. Same for other languages where words have crept into English. Enjoyable but sometimes frustrating in its limitations..Version: 1.0
✓ EnjoyableGood to test how many long words you can find..Version: 1.0
✓ WordlyI really enjoy the game. I am thankful for the end button. Often there are too many odd letters on the board and I dislike it. Try to put more frequently used letters. People like to score!!!.Version: 1.19
✓ OkayOnly good thing is that it has a timer. Background isn't good, and the trail is poor. Other apps follow your finger much better.Version: 1.42
✓ Fun game with MAJOR flawsI love word-search games, but this developer lacks attention to detail, hasn't offered a *meaningful* update in years, and the game has serious issues: 1. Game progress isn't saved. When I leave the game and later return, everything is lost, and I'm forced to start a new game. This is simply inexcusable. 2. Game uses a very bizarre dictionary, including archaic words and even acronyms like "emf," which aren't words at all (and should be capitalized as "EMF"). Yet—common acronyms like "EMT" are rejected! Acronyms are not words and should be disallowed all together. But be consistent: Either allow ALL acronyms (problematic) or disallow all. Which is it? 3. No way to *alphabetize* words we've found, which would make it easier to review the list. 4. Display hasn't been updated for larger iPhones, so there's ugly, blank space above and below the game. What's it been now? 4 years? 5. Outdated user interface still uses buttons from iOS 3 or 4, which have been passé for years. 6. Can't access settings without clearing the game. 7. Can't save a game to replay another time. 8. There are two buttons for sending feedback, which is redundant, and the buttons have different icons. (A minor issue, but untidy.) I would LOVE to see this game become what it could be, and I hope the developer will take the time to improve it. :-).Version: 1.19
✓ All of a sudden game won't saveI haven't had a problem in the past working on a puzzle, going back to it for several consecutive days, until I reach a point where I decide to start a new game. Now it won't save past a day maybe two if I'm lucky. Been loving it up until now. Please fix so that I don't get frustrated to the point of deleting the game..Version: 1.10
✓ WordlySilly me! Because I live in North America, I arrogantly assumed the game would be in English as there was no option for any other official language. Not so. The game accepts some foreign words as well as some non-existent words. So be it but if you feel compelled to reach a given number of words, you had better be very creative. Not an appealing game for word purists..Version: 1.06
✓ Gouging their usersAs a person who paid them already for their odd “dictionary”, I resent their recent move to grab yet more money from me for a “monthly subscription”, threatening me with ads unless I pay AGAIN! I used to like this app; now I have deleted it rather than allow myself to be ripped off. CAVEAT, y’all. These guys have elected to dump on their loyal customers and I will not just go along..Version: 1.41
✓ Begging for 5 stars?LOL. You were asking for 5 star reviews on a game where progress was not saved? Asking for 5 stars and subscriptions so you can further develop the game? No, you add features to EARN higher reviews. You develop the game to EARN higher reviews. OK, now you add progress saving while backgrounded. NOT good enough. Darn near every game out there saves progress when the game is “off” and not loaded/backgrounded. Add THAT and you’ll get a subscription and 5 stars from me. Until then it’s 3 stars..Version: 1.28
✓ Restore purchases should have...Vendor said that my purchase of the game before their new subscription service is still valid- just restore purchases. I see no means to restore purchases within the app. Only the means to subscribe. So much for that advice... And no response from the developer. I get it that you wish to make a living this, but switching horses mid race as you have done is flatly unethical if not fraudulent. Haha! Unfair review! How about unfair practices? I purchased the game with the expectation of no ads. Then you changed to a subscription model rendering that purchase moot. I purchased in good faith- faith that was poorly placed. Who’s been unfair? By the way, and repeating: I CAN FIND NO MEANS TO RESTORE PURCHASES IN YOUR APP AS YOU SUGGESTED I DO....Version: 1.34
✓ Needs better dictionaryI download this game since I love boggle. Great challenges and perfect time limits. However I find frequently common words not in the dictionary preventing use. For example: zen, June, July. Whereas there are many “words” allowed not in the English dictionary or are acronyms for tech items. I love the concept of this game, but please add a function to allow submission of suggested words to be added..Version: 1.42
✓ Stellar but for subscription plan???This is a great boggle app. But I don’t understand why it needs a subscription plan and not a one-time purchase. Ah well. Seems like other people like it, though, so they’re clearly motivated to keep it..Version: 1.42
✓ BoringThe letter combinations are frustrating. Would be awesome if you could make more than 20 three- letter words. I get bored very quickly with this. I have another similar game that is played against others that is still a 4x4 board but the letters generated allow you to find longer words. Much more exciting..Version: 1.0
✓ Ripped off by no-ad featureI was enjoying this game except for the ads. Then a pop-up appeared saying I could pay a one-time fee for no ads forever. That was last week. I paid it, and now I have ads again. The game is telling me I have to subscribe to the premium edition to get no ads. This was a rip-off. I deserve a refund! DO NOT FALL FOR THE NO-ADS POP-UP!!.Version: 1.42
✓ Pretty GoodAs close to the good ole Boggle as I have found. Would consider the monthly plan but it's missing two crucial elements... 1) The ability to rotate the screen. 2) Not putting a "u" automatically with the "Q". It would be nice to be able to shake your phone, to mix up the cubes, to start each game too..Version: 1.42
✓ Update - Fun GameUpdate: originally gave 5 stars, because it was a no ads (too good to be true) game. Then after I rated it 5 stars and played about 2 more games- there came the ads. And much like some other apps I’ve tried - the spam emails started almost immediately after I engaged with the app. Original: Great to play, especially easy to learn - tough to master. Chance to improve your scores, learn new words, and challenge yourself. Am a fan of, and play a lot of, word games. This is one of my new faves!.Version: 1.42
✓ Repeating PuzzlesBefore paying, i suggest you play three days of Wordly. You’ll discover in that short time thst this is not a random puzzle generator, but rather a collection of screens in the memory of the game. This is important because you will soon (3-4 days) discover that the puzzles repeat. All of them..Version: 1.42
