Great App

I love this app because the letters are large and easy to read.
It’s very easy to use, and to add letters in any position required.

Pay up or we will bombard you with adverts!

This app has become a constant advertisement platform. Unless you pay them money for ad free option they bombard you with irrelevant adverts for mind numbing games. So pay up or else….

ads for free crowns no longer available

So disappointed that you have not been able fix the “watch a short video to earn free crowns” feature. I’ve reported 3 times in the last 2 weeks will still no fix. I’ve always been diligent to watch these ads and earn enough crowns in a month for an ad free month.

Dear user, thank you for your feedback. This issue is fixed in our latest update. Best regards!

Wants to access ALL PHOTOS

What is privacy? I want to be the one to manually select the photos I choose to share. When I choose the option to use selected photos, I get a message stating that I need to instead allow access to ALL photos. What for? Mine someone else's data, or better respect the privacy choices of the person who owns the device your app is on.

If you have a friend over for company, do they require access to ALL rooms, closets and drawers in your house as a contingency of the visit? No. The host can select where it is acceptable to socialize.

Dear user, the main use of our Board Solver automatically detects and solves your latest screenshot after returning to WordFinder. This way the process of solving a screenshot requires no steps from the user and is much less cumbersome. Obviously, this can only work by allowing the access to all photos. It would be great if Apple would add the option "All Screenshots", but it does not exist. Best regards!

Learn how to use your own app!

It is simply wrong that you use so many incorrect words! You are allowing words that have absolutely no definition whatsoever. The insult is that you make no effort to remove the words sent to you per you app for reporting same. To say I am disappointed is putting it mildly. And for the record your math isn’t any better. You score incorrectly as well. If your goal is to teach stupidity, then you are well on the way.

Dear user, thank you for your feedback. We are not experiencing any problems with the points count in our tests. Please send us the steps to reproduce the issue at wfsupport@yourdictionary.com. As for the strange words without definition, they are listed because they are valid in your selected game. If you get an invalid word for your selected game, also send it to us via email and we will double check it. Best regards!

Deceptive Ads

This app has the most deceptive and misleading advertising I have ever seen. They hide the exit buttons and make it almost impossible to get out of the ad. They also show timers that supposedly tell you when ad is going to end only to have it rest to a new clock at the end. You now spend more time watching ads than you do using the application. I wish there were regulators I could find to report them to.

Very good

As an avid scrabble player I use it daily. It’s very good. Sometimes the adverts seem to go on for ages otherwise I would have said it was excellent.

Unlock Best Word by watching an ad?

This feature requires you to watch an ad to unlock best word. No problem and reasonable. Right? Right! After all, the app is free. Only now you are required to watch the same ad multiple times and/or watch multiple ads before the best word will be unlocked. Tried to report this to the developer but the customer service rep didn’t seem to understand the issue and offered no resolution. Also, video ads required to earn crowns are seldom available . Additionally, the app consistently misread the boards in solo challenge. Additionally, there are a few ads that have no video or audio and just lock up the app. The only way out is to close and reopen the app.
