Word Scramble™ for Negative User Reviews
✓ New update is buggyI like the game. After the most recent update, it sounds like the app is constantly trying to access the speaker on my iPhone causing static which is really annoying. Imagine trying to tune in a radio station but all you receive is static that cuts in and out. That’s what I hear while playing this game. It doesn’t matter whether I have the app sound turned on or off. It still happens with my phone volume on or off as well. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to no avail. Please fix this!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Great game but too many ads!!Love the game (!!!!) but wish there was an ad free version. Or at least be allowed to play a few games before another ad plays. Very annoying!!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Ad freeReally enjoy this game and have played it for years but now the adverts stop you from even seeing your score. Would’ve been willing to pay just a little for ad free.Version: 1.3.4
✓ What was my score?Generally fun and challenging to play. This is cancelled by not being able To see your score at the end of a game because a massive trophy obscures your score. Could the developer either make the trophy smaller or make the last game’s details available on the stats page?.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Too many adsI really like this app but there are so many ads. Please create a version I can just buy so I don’t have to see all the ads:).Version: 1.2.1
✓ Soooo addictive, buuuutttt.........I am getting annoyed that the high value letters get buried in the perimeter of the grid (10 point Z in the corner surrounded by L, S and P????). I almost never see an X, and maybe ONCE, a Q. But I’m sure I wouldn’t score any points with them anyway,the way they get buried. How about moving them into the main field and start giving us a chance to get some serious points with some serious words? Amazingly, ergonomically, marginalization. How about words like that?.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Use to be a great game.I loved playing this game. Unfortunately now when you play and get to the end there are ads which play as the game is adding your total and showing you how you went. The ads cover this up completely so you can’t learn how to improve your game. Not worth playing any more. Wish this could be fixed..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Score problemsI don’t have enough time to see my score before the cup graphic comes on. Can you fix? Elizabethatu dercliffe.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Annoying adverts in backgroundGame is good overall but I deleted the app because during game play noisy adverts playing in the background (audio only) disturb my concentration. I don’t mind adverts on free games but they shouldn’t interfere with the playing of the game..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great game but........I really like this game and I would give it 4 stars if it didn’t have these issues and I hope to see them fixed soon. I play it every day and I really enjoy it but there are a few issues, every now and then the app will crash and I have to start the game over which isn’t that big of a deal but the app shouldn’t be crashing so much. The other issue is the ads and the pop ups. It would be nice to be able to get rid of them. It’s annoying and distracting to see ads when I am trying to play the game. These are the only issues I’ve experienced and while they are annoying they won’t stop me from playing..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Glitches galoreUsed to be a favorite but can no longer play because of continuous blank screens and ads you can’t get out of. Only way found to deal with the glitches is to delete and reinstall the app which results in lost stats. Glad I didn’t pay for this, not worth anymore time..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Ruined by ads nowGame as good as ever but the ads are insane. Often don’t get to see score board summary after a game as ad screens appear and take ages to clear. Miss the older versions :-(.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Word scrambleThe ads are way way way too long.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Ads galoreDon’t get!! I understand there will be ads in free games, but when they are popping up every couple of seconds, no thanks!!.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Had to deleteStarted out a great little app. Then play becomes impossible with the constant redirection to a premium subscription site saying you've won a phone. Had to delete..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Ads ads adsWay too many ads. Ads are way too long for the length of the game. Could be fun if ads were shorter. Half the time I close the app before finding out the score!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Please offer no adsLove this game, but the ads actually ruin the game now. I would purchase an ad free version if it were an option but it doesn’t seem to be? Great game, ruined by ads popping up and closing your game..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Update ruined the gameI used to really enjoy this game but now the ads start showing up when I'm trying to see my stats and by the time I can get rid of the ads I can't see the stats anymore because the trophy is on top. That was a huge mistake and not doing the advertisers any good since we immediately try to get rid of their ads. I hoped by now the developers would have had enough complaints to change it back to the way it was before, but apparently not. Rating had dropped a lot since I last saw it.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Word Scramble messupI liked playing but the yellow line showing accuracy, word length and score has disappeared. The ads are now much longer soo you can't see enough. Change it back. I will never download the games with long ads. They really annoy me..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Please sort out the problems with this app!!I love this game - it’s brilliant. BUT there are several really fundamental problems with it that need to be fixed. When you play on an iPhone (not sure if it’s similar on other devices) you have about a second to see your score before it’s obscured by the trophy that you’ve won. Stupidly - it covers up your score! Worse of late, as soon as your game is finished and before your score is calculated, a really long advert for a different game appears and by the time it’s finished your score is long gone and all you can see is the trophy. People play games so that they can see their score!!! Come on, time to get this right!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ One major flawI like this game, but it’s very frustrating that just as your time runs out a 30 second ad pops up, preventing you from seeing your score. Once you close the ad (if you are patient enough to wait 30 seconds), you can’t see your score. I enjoyed racing against my best score before this ad issue arose. This is so annoying, I’m considering uninstalling the game. Also, there are a few common words that it does not recognize. But once you play it enough, you begin to remember those words and can avoid them..Version: 1.3.3
✓ ScrambleCould someone PLEASE PLEASE sort out the issues with this game. It’s one of my favourites and have been playing it for years. It’s very popular so worth spending some effort on it. When I go on to it I often get a blank screen and have to switch off and restart my iPad. PLEASE do something to sort out the issues. Also the platinum trophy is sitting on the gold one. I say again, as this is such a popular game, why doesn’t someone look after it and fix the small issues (placement of the adds etc)..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Ads much worseMany have complained that the new feature to play longer ads at the end of a round is obnoxious. We miss our scores, number of words, etc. I play against myself and have no means by which to measure my progress. Ideal solution is to put ads at half screen so we can see our score or for mucus shorter duration so we don’t miss it. Another option might be to make the end trophy smaller so it doesn’t block the entire screen so scores can be visible. The second option doesn’t change the fact that ads are excessive..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Unable to restorePurchased this on my old fon to get rid of the adverts but I am unable to restore on new fon.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Ads blocking gameplayIt’s a good game but now the ads are so long you don’t see your score at all. So really the last image they show here in the preview should be removed. Literally worst ads I’ve ever seen in an app, two skips and one cancel (all in tiny buttons). If it’s not fixed people will move onto other games and the ad slot will be worth nothing.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Older iPadsDon't upgrade stopped working, not really an improvement. Shame was enjoyable specially when sitting around in waiting rooms Will not upgrade on other devices without iOS 10..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Def not worth it anymoreBeen playing for a few years but you can no longer get platinum (on marathon) scores. You can’t view the data after each game because of the ads. Don’t mind the ads but put them on after. Have deleted the app and onto better games......Version: 1.3.4
✓ Way too many adsUsed to like this game but now so many ads it’s time wasting & off-putting. Infuriatingly sometimes the ads appear to have no end, & I’ve missed what score I got - which is the point of the game. It’s also glitchy & sometimes the game cuts out half way through.Version: 1.3.6
✓ What have you done !This app used to be my favourite game now you have to suffer through 30 second ads after every 2 minute game. It makes it absolutely un playable. Also at the end of the game you used to get info on how your score was made up based on length of words and number of words. Now you can’t see those as the 30 second ad play over it. I get you have to make money but this is ridiculous. I would be willing to pay a fee to remove the ads but there is no option. Don’t download this game we shouldn’t support developers who do this sort of thing..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Ads ruin gameThis game used to be fun to play and try to beat your high score, etc. Now they have injected a super long annoying ad after EVERY single round and the worst thing is, the ads pop us immediately and actually block your scores so you can’t see your score details ever! They show for a fraction of a second before you are forced to endure a 30 second monotonous droning ad for something you don’t want. Not worth it- run away! I would gladly pay for an ad free version, but as it stands the game has become unplayable and unenjoyable..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Pathetic after updateThese ads are brand new and totally uncalled for, totally unwanted, totally unnecessary and annoying! I have just upgraded and my favourite game, Scramble, now has stupid UNWANTED ads to annoy me. It blocks the game, ruins the timer and are totally unwanted; did I mention that? The game is now very jerky and slow and from a game that was challenging is now frustrating. Enough to want to delete it because of you unwanted stupid ads!!!!! I will NEVER download another game from these people!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Love the game, hate the adsI used to think this was the perfect game for me, but then more and more ads started showing up, breaking the rhythm of the game, and generally being annoying. When are you going to come out with an ad-free version? I’ll gladly pay the money. One other annoyance. On my iPad, the statistic page cuts off the right side of the data on the number of platinum wins. I have won over 120 games at the platinum level, but the final digit doesn’t show up. Only the 12 appears. Please, I beg of you, fix these problems so that we can throughly enjoy your wonderful game!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Shame about the adsGreat game, and well-executed, but there is a special place in hell for developers who introduce crappy ads with no ad-free option. Words with Friends might be able to get away with it, but unfortunately I'm done with this game..Version: 1.3.4
✓ BuggyWas great when it was working, ad update freezes game and it it needs to be closed.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Crashes constantlyAlmost every time on marathon mode.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Ruined by too much advertisingGuys this used to be the best out there now it’s just ruined by continuous ads, so I don’t play very long which defeats having ads… an ad per game is ridiculous and pointless … make a pay version of the app as anything better than what the game has become now… you won’t read this anyway.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Not fun anymoreLove the game but now it’s overrun by a ridiculous amount of ads. Too bad they ruined a fun game.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Constantly crashingI like the game but recently find it is constantly crashing and I get booted out in the middle of the game. This is happening almost every other go now, so frustrating it’s hardly worth playing.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Great game ruined by dodgy ads!!This used to be my favourite app, until the latest update. Now it's impossible to play! Tried contacting support only to find there really isn't any!.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Random scoreIt's a great game, fun, addicting, but the score bar seems extremely random. Sometimes getting 95% accuracy takes you all the way up to a silver trophy, other times it barely makes bronze. Which is unfair and makes for getting bored easily when you're not get scored fairly..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Crashes too muchGreat game and one of the few I actually play but it crashes way too much mid-game. I literally just had 4 games in a row crash. I’ve never had more than 2 in a row and had never had 2 in a row until recently. Whatever you all have done recently has made it worse. I’ll give you a chance to fix it before I delete it and find a new word game to play. The 2 star rating was only because I do enjoy the game so much. Otherwise, it would’ve been 1 star and immediate deletion..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Frustrating!I am going to delete this game as what used to be a fun distraction has now become frustrating due to the number of ads for other games, popping up during and at the end of each game. No more!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Ads longer than the gameUsed to love this - now the amount of time the ads play between each game is crazy- am deleting the app..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Stopped playingThe ads were annoying, and now interfere with play. Progress bar doesn't work anymore. Used to be a good game. Too bad. They have fixed the progress bar issue and the annoying ads, but they also made the game too easy to play. Too bad.Version: 1.1.8
✓ You screwed up a fun gameJust uninstalled the app because of all the annoying ads and pop-ups. Don't bother installing unless you love frustration. Two thumbs down to the developers👎🏻👎🏻.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Please fixI enjoy this game. The scores are always cut off of the screen when they popup as you type words near the left side. It’s frustrating. It’s been an ongoing issue for 6+ months..Version: 1.3.3
✓ CrashesBird game pop up crashes game.Version: 1.3.1
✓ See all the reviews yet do nothing about the ADS!!Played this game for years, now the ridiculous ads. The App Store sees all the negative reviews regarding the ads...some are 30 seconds and then wait another 10-15 seconds for the x cancel button to pop up, sometimes it doesn’t even do that! Question, why have a “write a review” if clearly do nothing about the complaint or bad reviews? Apparently it’s a waste of time. Perhaps if enough people deleting the app, then will you do something about it? That’s how WE the players win and stop playing corporate, psychological mind games..the ole bait and switch?.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Ads destroy game playThis is the best word game I’ve discovered BUT impossible to play with all the ads. I want to pay to get rid of them but can’t?!?.Version: 1.3.6
✓ FrustratingIn the middle of a timed game, unskippable adds pop up, and it doesn’t pause the game, the game is over by the time the add is finished, something need to be done to fix this, the game itself is quite good but this makes it unplayable….Version: 1.3.5
✓ Intrusive ad Ruins playUsed to really enjoy this game but lately an ad keeps popping up mid game and taking up the entire screen. The timer on the game continues to count down while you deal with the advert, totally ruins the game.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Can’t see number of words scored...I’ve had this game for years. Helps me to get up in the morning- if I get over 60 words I can get up! But recently due to adverts which start as game ends you can not see how many words you score - you wait till end of advert and see only trophy won - how disappointing! I want to see number of words. Really spoilt game for me..Version: 1.3.4
✓ DisappointedI loved this game for months, but now a video keeps popping up, making the game impossible to enjoy. I hope you fix this because I’m going to miss this awesome game..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Get rid of addsPlease offer an add free version.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Frustrating and Waste of Time Due to AdsI used to enjoy this app. But now the ads have made this unbearably frustrating. The ads are too long and prevent you from seeing your stats generate. Most of the time you can’t even see your stats. The ads also make it difficult to get back to your game. When to touch the screen it takes you to another game or ad to download. The app also crashes in the middle of the game sometimes. I don’t recommend until these issues are resolved..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Disappointing Frequency of Ads now...Love this game... Especially the one where you can increase your time with the words you submit but Jeez... The ads now kick in before the end of the game and time you out and it happens VERY often. Please stop doing this! Or give us an option to pay for the game and get rid of the ads!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Ads come at the worst possible timeI really like the game, word games are awesome, but the ads pop up right in the middle of a game. Sometimes several times over and over and over. I've had games where the ads don't show up at all, but it's rare. When I'm on a roll and being timed, having an ad suddenly pop me out of the game causes me to lose my momentum and sometimes I'll lose my place. I have to hurry up and cancel the ad, go back to the main page and then press resume to continue my game. Wouldn't be so bad if that ads came in between games only..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Terrible app nowUsed to enjoy this now far too many ads and creepy people taking about why they use another game. Uninstalled.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Used to be goodI enjoyed the early incarnation of this game but the fun has been sucked out by the latest versions that interrupt the end score reveal so you can’t see how you’ve done anymore. Watching the score building when it was over was the main enjoyment! And now that that’s gone, there’s no point in playing..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Unacceptable adsI realise that a “free” app will include ads and agree with many of the comments here that they are too frequent and too difficult to close. Today I was disgusted to be subjected to an ad for an app called Live Bingo or something similar which showed salacious pictures of under age girls. This is totally unacceptable and the publishers should be ashamed for allowing this type of material.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Keeps freezing 😐Frustrating when it keeps freezing. Otherwise good game.Version: 1.3.1
✓ DeterioratingBeen playing this game for years, but things are deteriorating. I used to be able to get Gold scores on Marathon, but now, no matter how well you do, the slider either stops short,a millionth of a millimetre before the Gold Cup, or a ruddy advert pops up before you can see your score!👹Oh, the other trick is that the screen turns black! What’s THAT all about? Also, Support seems to be a mythical entity. Very disappointing..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Not greatThis game used to be great, but the ads now have become so bad they block out your end game results. If there was a paid version to get rid of ads, I’d buy it buy sadly not an option..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Game is brilliant, worth 5 stars, but too many adds, too frequentReally disappointed, I’d pay for this game, it’s excellent. But ruined by adds that pop up so frequently I close the game. Please create a pay to stop adverts version..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Waste of time!Used to love this game, but totally spoilt by continuing ads cutting across the score. If I want another game, which I don’t , I would search for it myself. Bloody ads have ruined the game for me and judging by other reviews it’s a problem for other users. Now deleting a game I used to really enjoy! Shame!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Would not recommendI was getting annoying pop-ups (in the app and on Facebook) saying I had a virus, click here; or you are a winner, click here. The pop-ups disappeared once I deleted the app..Version: 1.2.1
✓ No scoresSame as everyone else. And obviously the Word Scramble people don’t care. The long ads are stupid. Shorten them. The most annoying part is that you have no idea what your score is because they have covered it up. Why play then? This whole game is stupid. Don’t load..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Too many ads and no paid ad free version availableWay to many ads and they interfere with the game. You also can’t turn the sound off on the ads, so if you are somewhere and playing it, then some random game show music comes on with a silly ad that you can’t turn off. Deleting and going with a competitor that can provide an ad free version😢.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Wrecked by advertising.Seemingly endless ad’s for idiotic gambling games..Version: 1.3.6
✓ No longer playableWas enjoying the game until the pop up malware ruined it! Now I have to delete. Wish there was a version you could play without the awful ads and spam.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Update is buggyThe most recent update freezes, does not report word count & the interface is much less attractive. This was not a step in the right direction!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Fed upGood game but I uninstalled it because of all the ads which were using up my limited data!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Ads gone mad!The ads completely take over this great word game & therefore, spoil it! I’d rather pay a little than have this intrusion! Are you, the developers, listening? I’d like to think so & am throwing the gauntlet down! Xxx.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Regularly loses progressRestart for an OS update? Start all over with a new board. Auto-quit by the OS while you use other apps? Start all over with a new board. It would be a pretty good game if it remembered where you were at, but as it stands it’s just annoying..Version: 1.3.2
✓ TOO MANY ADSUsed to be a good game but the propeller heads decided to make it useless. Don’t bother..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Worse than everToday after playing the game I got THREE advertisements for Royal Match. I swear this is a virus. I never did get my score. DO NOT bother. Looks like I can only play this darn game when I am far far away from wifi of any kind. Sad it used to be my favourite..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Just deletedI have had this game for several years and always enjoyed it. Sadly just deleted it as it now has a permanent rolling advert along the bottom of the screen which is impossible to delete and so annoying it spoils the game I realize adverts are needed and I have no problem with adverts between games. But really it's too much to have permanent ads running.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Adverts ruin this fun gameAs with other reviewers, I find this game fun but the adverts come at the wrong moment so you can't see how your score is built up. Very annoying. The biggest problem, though is that occasionally the adverts come with sound which is very disturbing if I am playing the game when other people are around. It does not seem possible to prevent this. Unfortunately, as a result, I can’t really risk playing now, and have deleted the game..Version: 1.3.6
✓ AwfulAlways crashes, many times hasn’t registered a high score and overall frustrating to use as it glitches every other game. Don’t waste your time on this..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Could be greatUnfortunately they have chosen for it to not be great. An unnecessary problem that has been a part of the game for a long time is the amount of time you have to wait to see your score after the game ends. What a waste of time - plus you have to watch as the score tallies up or you don't even get to see your score because the trophy covers it up. Why? I lived with that for a long time, but now with the longer ads and the increasingly frequent crashing, it's time to say goodbye..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Fun game but...So I downloaded this game mostly because I was bored. And it’s pretty fun. Simple, but fun. The modes are cool and I’ve been really enjoying blitz and classic. But I swear, whenever I have a great run, like high score run, it glitches out. It exits out of the game, and when you open the app again, the round is gone. All of the words you found and the letter layout are all gone. And that’s happened to me three times on my first day. So just beware..Version: 1.3.4
✓ PLEASE!!I love this game and have played it for years. It would be a five start review, but for one thing - the adverts that have taken over. I fully understand why they are there, but they are so frequent and last so long at the end of a game, that it is getting impossible to follow the scoring which completely spoils the game. Please, if necessary give us a “paid for” option (within reason!) so that we can enjoy this app again..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Delete its rubbishThis used to be a great game which I played countless times. I deleted the app when it just froze after playing one game. Tried the delete app and brought it back again to no avail. Completely forgot about it then I saw it on my partners iPad. Brought it back again on mine, played one game. Guess what! Correct, frozen screen. Deleted for good. Bye bye.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Personal StatsHoping the developers will add archiving to Word Scramble features. i.e. add a thumbnail of each game and its outcomes- found words and missed words. Not so much emphasis on trophies. Explain Tile points: The tile chosen for extra points doesn’t always lead to a viable word. Same for double and triple words. Do the tiles have to begin a word or just be incorporated within the word. Allowing access to the history of moves and outcomes of each scramble leaves the ads free to monopolize the screen and not impede the player from having fun looking back..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Way too many adsYou get five ad-free games to start, followed by a request for a five star review, followed by long ads after every game. And on a regular basis the only way to get rid of the ads is to restart your device.Version: 1.3.6
✓ GarbageYou start to play and it up and quits through any game you select. Create an app that doesn’t glitch!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Once my fav app now redirect issuesThis was once my fav app. As with other reviewers it now no longer works and worse still deleted all my platinum scores!! Come on guys update so it works again!! Will keep an eye out for that update than can review again..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Totally RUINED with all the really long adsUsed to LOVE this game but it’s not even playable anymore...waaaaay too many STUPID LONG ADS.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Used to be a good gameHave had this game for a long time. Have now deleted it, because the ads now play sound even when the sound for the game is disabled. Very irritating when playing the game with other people around.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Ad scamThey introduced adverts a little while ago. I was just sent to Safari, mid-game, not displaying an ad, and I didn’t even let the page load. Got signed up to a £4.50 a week test scam just for playing the game which I now have to sort out myself with this dodgy company they let advertise through their game. Don’t download it..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Not so good anymoreHad to uninstall because it constantly crashed and froze. Used to love this game, but it just went down hill with all the glitches..Version: 1.3.1
✓ ScoringAs a teacher I like to know how my "test" (game) was scored. When I get a bonus for 90% correct words sometimes the bar moves waaay to the right. But, sometimes it barely moves. If I find 20 words, same thing. I've gotten over 50 words before and only earned the bronze trophy. It makes it frustrating and less fun to play when there's no consistency in the scoring. Can you please fix this? Would love to change my review to 5 stars..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Driving me away with adsI wouldn’t even call these ads, this feels like nagware. Just programmed to nag at you to pay the money to get rid of ads. I hate hate hate that business model and it actively makes me NOT want to use this app. UPDATE: you can’t even pay to remove them. Which is like. The worst parts of nagware without that final hook. Even worse business model than I thought. This is an almost decent game put on the App Store as an Ad Farm. It’s bad. Literally full 30 sec ads between EVERY game. After like 3 rounds this game feels unplayable. Downgrading from 2 stars to 1 because the ads just get more annoying the more I play and makes me hate this game and it’s devs for doing this even more. You have a halfway decent game, if you added some multiplayer and global leaderboards and tidied up the ads this would not be a bad game. You completely ruined it with all the ads though. I can’t stress enough how when I like a game I will WILLINGLY click “watch ad for a reward” buttons in games. Ha, this one? Ha. Didn’t even give me the chance to grow fond. Just shoved the ads right down my throat..Version: 1.3.4
✓ No HelpThis was a fun game until a bug made it impossible to connect letters properly. There is no support for this game, so there is no way to fix any bugs..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Placement/Timing of adsThis is a great game, but the placement of ads (when they pop up) is ridiculous — I like to see each section of my score. The ads pop up as soon as the timer runs out, which interferes with being able to see the scoring. Some are so long that I miss the scoring altogether. This happened when I finally exceeded my high score — but i didn’t even know it because by the time the ad finished, my gold cup/trophy was already up, blocking the score page. Can the ads be moved to after the scoring, as they used to be and are on most games?.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Just a few things...Excellent premise. Almost flawlessly executed. My only complaint is the advertisements and how frequently they cover the in-game content and UIs. Please, developers, give us an option to pay to remove ads! Also, when you earn a trophy for a round, you can’t see the stats for that round and there is no way to find it anywhere else. You can see your totals and averages, but I would really like to know what my best and longest words were for that each round I finish, as well as the time I took, my total score, etc. Finally, there should be a personal dictionary that logs every word you’ve played, in each singular round, as well as collectively. This can be a way to help remember what words you’ve collected already in a round, as well as to expand your vocabulary. Thanks for this neat game! It just needs a few small touches!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Too Many Annoying AddsThey seriously need to find a better system for the Adds without it interrupting game play. I used to love playing this and was getting good at it but then the adds were interrupting the game play too much. The games are only 2 minutes long and with every 3rd one I play the app either crashes completely cause the add doesn't load properly or the 1 minute add plays while you're playing with no way of closing it without restarting the app completely. Sure I can eliminate the volume on my phone but that affects your ability to play the game as sound makes it faster to finish the puzzles. I understand the app needs to make money but give your players the option to buy an add free version or give them a way of closing or how about this, give them the add before allowing them to start the next game, there solution solved! Fix it and you have an app that more people will play that will attract more Adds!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Ads now hide the scoring count at the endThe whole fun of watching the score being counted up at the end is gone, once the ad is done there’s a vague trophy symbol barely discernible behind the ad, very sad as I loved this game before..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Bad UpdateLoved this game until the last update. Before the ads were at the bottom of the screen and I could see them and decide if it was something I wanted to check out. Now they force you to watch a long ad before you can see your score and start a new game. Honestly, I now play this game far less and will find other games that don’t sidetrack you for as long..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Ads issue updateSo, this was just about the first game I ever downloaded. It’s just about to be the next game I delete. Why? The developers have decided it’s a good idea to end every game with an advert for that ?*#&*# awful Royal Match. Can developers/Apple not get it into their thick heads that we don’t need to be bombarded with this c**p every time we play their game? I used to have Royal Match - it’s long deleted because of their adverts elsewhere. PLEASE GIVE US A BREAK!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Used to be great🙁Used to love this game, but the ads make it impossible to play now, they come on loud and extremely annoying! Would happily buy an ad free version but no option to do so..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Love this game, but the app keeps crashing in the middle of the game!I hope the glitches get fixed soon..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Chick Fil-a??I loved your app. Used when I travelled all the time and to evade work. Recently getting ads that interrupt my podcasts including -ahem- chick fil a- …? I’m going to be honest. I don’t know the ins and outs of app advertising but I hope to, one day. Candy crush? Don’t care. Zombie brain game or Makeover challenge, very graphic but don’t care. Maybe that was a huge score for you. I get it. But I literally can’t even drive by one without wanting spit. Spit I tell you. This may have all sounded sarcastic (and it mostly was) but I’m actually pretty annoyed….Version: 1.3.6
✓ No scores??Others have said it. What’s a game if you can’t see your scores? The day were never this intrusive until the last few months. Now they have these long ads you can’t click out of that go on so long I miss my scores. If this isn’t fixed I’m going to delete this. Too bad because I’ve enjoyed it for a long time..Version: 1.3.4
✓ CrashesI have literally played this game for years and love the game play itself but my god, the bugs! It crashes in the middle of games,it freezes in games, the ads make it difficult to even see your scores. I would gladly pay for this app if they just made it work and removed the ads. Oh, and it doesn’t keep stats very well. It rarely records or counts my games and trophies. I love the game itself when it works but since the new update, it crashes constantly if I’m really playing at a fast rate. Please fix it!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Ok but more neededI’ve only DL this today and love it already but....even after reading the how to play section I can’t find how to change playing mode and it’s stuck in marathon !.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Just deletedAfter playing for a number of years,The ads have got completely out of hand of course, I understand the needs for ads but this has become overkill, sadly, I will be deleting the app directly after this review a shame used to be such a good game..Version: 1.3.6
✓ GREAT GAME . . . BUT GLITCHES NEED FIXINGLove this game. It would have got 5 stars from me if the glitches weren't there! Every now and then, it resets/freezes your time and freezes letters as well. Please fix, and then I'll review it with FIVE stars :) Would be great to know the longest letter at the end of the game too!.Version: 1.1.4
✓ Used to be good not anymore.This game used to be great even with the ads but now it’s too mental with the ads. Lately while playing word scramble as soon as the game ends I don’t get to see my score anymore it goes straight to an ad and then when I click off the ad it goes to the homepage. So I have no idea how I have done in the game. It is extremely frustrating! Please fix it!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Redirects to a scam/ malware page AVOIDLets you play a couple of games and then keeps redirecting you to a very dodgy looking site telling you that you have won a prize. The only way to 'escape' from that page is to turn your phone off..Version: 1.1.8
✓ To many long adsThis has become too tiresome. The long ads appear before the score and there is no way (purchase) that is obvious to turn them off..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Can't see improvements at all!Thought the last upgrade was bad with all the ads and the game crashing in the middle of games. But the latest pop up in the middle of a game with 'you're the lucky winner' - you can't cancel out of it. Only choice is is to press ok to register that you're the owner of the phone. Deleted!.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Hate this GameLove the game for when I am waiting somewhere and need something to do. MOST IRRITATING IS THE TEDIOUS AND USELESS COMMERCIALS, I HATEcTHEM and I have deleted the game yet again. I play it until the ads start coming (this current case they were wanting to be nbuying more games). This time the ads started after a few games, really quick. So I deleted it yet again. This is disappointing. All I want to do is play the game, not buy others. I would happily pay a modest amount for the game without all the nonsense, but NO ONE is listening so out it goes (again), I am not trying it again. What a disappointing I hate the commercials for other adds. I can barely play a couple of games when I am besieged with playing other games. I have deleted this thing yet sgain. Please stop!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Pop ups killing meCan’t actually play the game because it continually pauses due to pop ups advising I have “won a free iphone”. I love this game but can’t actually play it. Come on guys!!.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Ads Interrupt GameI'm deleting this game as I've had enough of the numerous ads that interrupt you in the middle of a game. I don't mind ads and realise that's what you have to put up with to get free games but this is something else - sometimes you might have to close down as many as 6 ads whilst in play and since it's a timed game, this eats into your seconds! The principal of the game is excellent but I'm through with it.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Hardcore porn ad interrupted gameI have played this game for a couple years at least. As others have said, the ads have gotten increasingly more intrusive and often interrupts (& then crashes) the game. However the ads were always for shopping or other games and while super annoying, easily tolerated. Tonight though, scenes from a very hardcore porn started playing mid-game with a banner option to “go to video”. Nothing was blurred or left to the imagination. Just boom, p..... & v..... in my face. After about 30 seconds, the ad ended and the game resumed. Then, during the next game, it happened again. This time for a hardcore porn featuring a donut. (I’ll let you figure that one out!) Since my young nephew plays this game on my phone when he visits me, I’ll be deleting it. So sad because this game is my absolute favorite! I would definitely buy it for an ad free version if that was an option..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Too many adsI finish a game - then never see my result! The ads pop up so quickly when you finish that you don’t have time to see your personal score. So annoying. The ads are far too long, and one is very difficult to click out of, so you just leave the game out of frustration..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Really annoyingHave enjoyed this game for years. Getting really annoyed with it these days!!!. I know adverts are inevitable but they are becoming longer and as other players have reported they are ruining the end of games, does the cup need to cover your score?? and a couple of recent ads are that long your score has gone. Think going to start looking for another game..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Great idea - Too many bugs!!I have to turn the App off several times daily for it to work!! Slow to react & Hesitant. Eventually won’t operate all - I must delete the App and then search it so I can download it AGAIN!!! And I have to do this several times everyday! Disgusting after a while! Especially since it takes so long to delete and then bring back! Can’t you fix the bugs??? Of course, none of my scores are ever retained! And it’s getting worse!! I wouldn’t keep doing the games if it wasn’t good…. BUT it really really needs fixed!!!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ ScrambleNo enjoyment any more because of the number of ads that can not be deleted. Please make an ad free version.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Annoying ads and constant glitchesWhat a shame. This game could be a favorite, but the game designers don’t offer any avenue to buy your way out of their noisy, LONG ads after two or three plays. Moreover, many of those ads cause the screen to either hang up or go black. The only way to get out of the glitch is to reboot my iPhone. Many of the ads drone on for more than a minute, and if you’re lucky enough to have an X appear to conclude the ad, half the time clicking the X doesn’t do anything. It’s obvious the game designers either have abandoned this app or just don’t give a rip about players’ bad experiences. Why bother to offer it at all..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Not worth waiting for prolonged ads after every round!!!!I use to enjoy this game however I uninstalled when lengthy pop ads occurred after every single round. Beyond frustrating...it would have to be the most amazing game in the world to persevere. No thanks...I’ll play something else..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Too many ads!Too many ads, please fix! One 2 min game and one 2 min ad. That’s just too much!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Same complaint—obstructing adsCan’t see my end score because obstructed by commercial advertisement. Developers, give us an option for a paid game that has no ads!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ App destroyedPreviously good app now useless. What is the point of playing if you can’t see your score because your device has been hi jacked by an advert!!!.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Used to be goodUsed to love this game but it has been overtaken by ads. I loved it when the update was released so you could see how close you got to a trophy but now thanks to the ads you no longer get to watch your score as it’s created, all you see is ads, so frustrating. Please fix this, I’d pay to be ad free..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Love the game, BUT… ADS and limits on timeThe ads cut off the last second of the play. Then you can’t see your score. I get so tired of the constant ads, that I just quit playing. Also there used to be a setting that would let you adjust the time so you could see how many words you could find; please bring that back; maybe without scores. It would make it more versatile..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Nonstop video ads ruin game playAds slow game play to a point that the app is no longer fun. also flashing video ads at the bottom of a word game during play is distracting and annoying. will stop playing until this is corrected.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Word scrambleI like very much the game but I am not sure the stats are accurate. Yesterday for the first time I obtained a platinum trophy and unfortunately it never showed in my stats. The I am wandering if I will keep playing....Version: 1.3.3
✓ Really Dislike the noisy adsI enjoy playing this game, but I really dislike the noisy ads. I play the game when I have a few quiet minutes - between meetings or sitting in a public space waiting for someone - places where I have no desire to call attention to myself. When my phone starts blaring loudly it’s annoying and embarrassing. I don’t know why anyone thinks that embarrassing me in public would make me want to buy something. Why don’t you offer an ad-free version of the game?.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Man they are getting those ads goingI have been playing this for awhile, it was fine for me for 5 sec ads, or at least option to close or to watch it if it’s fun enough. However, the amount of ads that is much longer and I cannot quit in the middle is annoying. Getting greedier lol..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Visit the developer website and post!To have your voice heard you should visit the developers website, join the forum and post your concerns there, where they’re more directly visible. It looks like the Devs are actively posting announcements and updates there for other games they develop. Violent ads: Not for 4, 5, 6yr olds. The ads incorporated in this game are violent and should not be seen by children. Some are rated 17+. There is no need to see that kind of content in an otherwise peaceful word game. Please let us remove the ads. Parental guidance highly recommended! Also, after a few weeks of playing I’m noticing that at times the Ads cover post game result tallying, only revealed when the ads and tally is done. The boards are repeating, which makes the game feel predictable and not as much of a challenge. Seems a little soon compared to how infrequently I play this game..Version: 1.3.3
✓ No way to get rid of adsUsed to enjoy this game but now ads are distracting from play. Deleted..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Love the game, hate the adsHey developers, please consider selling an ad free version of this game. The game itself is great but after a couple of weeks of play I start getting ads saying I've got malware that I can't figure out how to close without clicking on a link. I've had to delete and reinstall several times, losing all high scores each time. I'm about 1 reinstall away from finding another game by a different developer if you can't/won't solve this!.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Constant crashingAt first I thought it was my device but I tried it on another and it crashes halfway though a game, everytime. I once loved this app but now it’s unplayable..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Loved it till the pop up addsI loved playing this game, and recommended it to others but I’ve just deleted it. Over the past couple of days play has been interrupted by annoying pop-up videos. Very disappointed..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Too many adsAds, including videos, are constantly popping up, stopping the game, opening new windows and App Store. At some point it was sooo bad I had to delete it. The game itself is ok, not as good as Text Twist for example but it does the job when one is traveling..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Been playing this for many yearsBut you have totally wrecked this for so many of us..ads you can’t get rid of are absolutely ridiculous. What a shame as I’ve played every day for so long but just can’t take this. I don’t think you realize what you’ve done to so many people…just can’t take it! Fix if you want to stay relevant on here..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Bad bad gameThe ads in this game are ridiculous . They are too long, pop up in every hame and are often difficult to get out of. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP- pick any other alternative!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Crashing constantlyGet part way through game and keeps crashing. Last update on App Store was 8 months ago..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Fun! But ....Really thought I’d found a new, fun, fast-paced game, but man - TOO MANY ads! BAD ENOUGH, their timing is terrible! The ads come right when your points are being added up, so you can’t really see how you did!! By the time they’re over, all you really see if what little trophy you earned ... bronze, silver, etc. PLUS, there are more “captive ads,” the kind that count down 30 or more seconds until they’re over whether you like it or not (most people do not); and there are more ads AND timed ads in this app than other apps. I’m about to delete it. Too frustrating. Too bad. It was fun while it lasted..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great gameToo many ads. You can barely finish one game and ads pop up for way too long. I deleted.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Loose the pop upsLove the game but the frustration with the pop ups has lost me..Version: 1.1.8
✓ RuinedThis used to be a nice game. Now the stupid thing has ads at the end so you can’t see your score. What’s the point of playing it. I’m going to delete it..Version: 1.3.3
✓ LACK OF LETTER VARIATIONSI understand that with a free app, it’s a given that you’ll have annoying ads and pop ups. However, that’s the least of the problems. The same letters are used for each game. Give it 5 rounds and you’ll be over it. No challenge. No variety. Boring. Annoying..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Now wreckedThis once challenging game is now wrecked because a pop up for some silly bird game keeps sticking its frustrating beak in mid game and it is not possible to return to the Scramble game you were in the middle of enjoying, you return to the home page. Yeah, time to dump this app rather than be continually frustrated..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Ruined by advertisingThis could be fun, but as almost everyone is saying, it’s ruined by advertising. I'd even pay to have an ad-free version, but I don't think anyone's interested in what we users think. Update: The ads are now completely out of control. Don't think about getting this app!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Used to be good.....But developed added ads which obscure the scoring. Not as fun now..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Not really 100% perfect and should be changing a few things in the futureThis game was great, it helped me to learn more words (well, not really because some words are just "sh" or something). But despite that, the game has a few things that does not make sense or would be great to be added in. A larger board should be added for better word finding experience (maybe not). A few words questionably disappear from the word list so cannot be used for some reason. Remove the "accuracy" feature, it does not make sense at all and it heavily lowers the score. Maybe a theme changer would be nice to be implemented, or a light/ dark theme. Overall, the game can improve a little bit so the player can enjoy their time playing the game. I hope to see an update in the future. (or not.).Version: 1.3.4
✓ DONT DOWNLOADAds are completely obstructive..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Good game, but WAY too many adsThis is a good game and fun to play. However, there are many ads between games and even after you have watched the full add and it looks like you can X out allows you to ask out, it either takes you to the app for the game,Or takes you to another game, which one you try ex out of that one it either takes you back to the first game or to the website for the new game and each time you try to go back to scramble it takes you back to the games. This does not always happen, but it very often happens and it becomes almost impossible to get back to scramble. I have so frustrated with this that I’m going to delete it from my apps.Version: 1.3.4
✓ ColoursJust found this game and although I’m enjoying playing I find the colours of the blocks and letters don’t have enough differentiation for those of us with poor eyesight. A stronger colour contrast option would be so helpful.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Ads make it freeze up. GlitchyI love the game but it goes to an ad before showing your score and after ads it often then doesn’t give you the score anyway. It ruins the experience and the glitches get worse as you play. I delete and reload this numerous times every time I play. Can’t figure out why this isn’t updated to work better with the ads they are running or why someone else doesn’t replicate this game with smoother functionality. There is no option to have ad free play which I would purchase..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Lost the WillThis was a fabulous game until recently. The continental adverts for other games that appear at completion are frustrating. They are intrusive lengthy and by the time they have finished my score has disappeared. It’s impossible to override them or at least interrupt the length. Now in recent weeks my screen goes blank after playing games for a period of time. The app is unresponsive so I have to delete it and download again. Not a good experience. I will now delete permanently!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Who hacked this game???This used to have a tolerable amount of ads that came up between games. Suddenly - a few weeks ago - it started stopping u playing MID-GAME to shove ads down your throat! Utterly pathetic. Have deleted it. Don’t bother downloading. I’d give it zero stars if I could. Were they bought out? Or were they hacked? Either way, now completely unusable. 😡.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Fave game, when it works right**Update. Still love this game and it worked pretty well for a while. Now we’re back to it crashing with ads. It freezes such that it has to be deleted and reinstalled. Last time it last two plays before it froze and had to be deleted. (It had averaged 30-50 plays the last week.) And it is a permanent freeze these days. I’ve let it sit for a day and it was still irretrievable without reinstall. Can’t get past the stuck ads.** Love, love this word game when it's responsive. But it gets bogged down at times, probably due to the unwieldy ads that sometimes appear. they're suppose to show up after but sometimes they interrupt the game. Happens more often when I'm using data than wifi. And some locations, like airports, are the worst. Will try the airplane mode suggestion stated by other reviewer. Thought connection was required but maybe not. Like many others, I'd pay to avoid the ads. That said, if the ads didn't cause the game to malfunction and freeze sometimes --I've had to reload this 4 times in the last couple months -- they'd be okay to endure. One has actually been informative but it's local to Michigan, so it's not one many will see. And some ads I fear are for scam apps..Version: 1.2.1
✓ I love this game... when it works correctlyI am so sick of the ads and constant crashing. It didn’t used to be this way! Otherwise, I love the actual game. It also annoys me that the ads play noise even when I have the sound off. I also wish they had an easier way to see what your score is at the end. Once they total it up the stupid trophy appears abs you can’t see the total anymore. I wish it kept a list of your top scores and the scores of your last five games or something. Just give me the option to pay for an ad-free version with enhancements and I will be happy..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Getting Worse!It used to be one of the best word games I had on my phone I also used to be able to hit gold on a regular basis, well gold seems mythical these days together tech support. And the most annoying thing about the game is the continuous flow of ads that you can’t opt out off and make you miss the score screen. An update to cut the ads and make the screen fit my phone would be appreciated..Version: 1.3.4
✓ KSPORN WARNING. I've just deleted this app due to a photo of a naked woman that keeps stopping the game and trying to redirect me to a porn site. Not impressed. Especially if kids play this game..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Was a good game but now ruinedWas a good game but now has a constant pop up mid game that closes the game off.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Was greatThis was my go-to game to fill time or help my brain focus but latest update has made it UNPLAYABLE! Ads start before the score is tallied and cancel results… Please FIX thank you..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Forced upgrade and then crashedGame forced me to upgrade and then crashed. Can’t access it anymore..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Ads ruin gameNow the ads pop up before you can even see how you scored. Is this the latest update? Very disappointing for a game I’ve played for a long time..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Great (but buggy) gameI have played many of the Boggle-like games, and this one has some great features. However, it crashes - a lot (especially on iPhone X). The crashing seems mostly related to ads. When an ad pops over the screen, there’s about a 50% chance the app will crash when you close the ad. Normally not too big of a deal, but sometimes it will pop up an ad in the middle of a game, and god forbid you’re having a great round, because it’s going to crash. And better keep your fingers away from the banner ad at the bottom. If it opens a page, you will need to force kill the app to get it to go away - the Done button won’t remove it. And it occasionally crashes in the middle of a game, especially when you’re giving it a lot of fast input (which is kind of the point of the game). Make a commercial, ad free version and I’ll give you my $!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ I don't like the new lookWhy has the result page changed colour? The results flash on and off too quickly. I also don't understand why you accept some slang words but not names of countries etc. This should be explained in the instructions..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Doesn’t credit points for last word before time expiresSince the update many months ago, the timer has been out of sync with the words found count. In many games have I found a word before time expires that reaches a total of either 80, 90, 100, 110 words etc (clearly displayed in the word count on screen) for which additional points should be added, only for the calculators not to recognize the final word, instead crediting me points for only 79, 89, 99, 109 etc. This has cost me many Platinum trophies that I clearly earned according to the word count showing on screen. I have screen shots to illustrate it. Please fix this glitch. Thank you..Version: 1.3.6
