Super Loud Ads even on Mute
I have been addicted to this game for many years, but now I can’t play. Every time I have two minutes, I take out my phone and play a round. I even like to get in a couple rounds before I fall asleep, but these ads after every round are loud and can’t be muted. The only way is to turn down the volume of the phone ( and risk missing an important call ) imaging having a minute at work and playing a round or standing in line at the checkout, all of a sudden blaring music — everyone jumps and I’m busted. Same thing at night! I paid to have no ads, and here I am playing my favorite game and being blasted with these obnoxious ads. I just don’t play any more. Can’t risk it.Show lessrhaehnel
Too many ads

The game freezes frequently, and I have to restart my phone to continue playing - which I never had to do with the old version. Been worse since the latest bug fix. Come on, get your act together, there was nothing wrong with the old version.Dumpthenewversion

Original review: “I have been playing this game for years. It is fun and challenging. I set it so that there is no time limit, and I can put it down and pick it up and start where I left off. The advertisements are in between games and do not last long--not a distraction for me. I am grateful that you updated to the latest system--thank you!”Show lessEmysGma
Love to Hate in 1 day
When this new company took over Word Warp they absolutely RUINED it! Used to be one of my 2 go-to games to play on my iPhone. Now I’m stuck in an endless loop of one-word games. And even if I solve it with a valid word, I don’t get credit if there is more than one solution but my word is not “the” word the game makers selected. How can you take a game that is working almost perfectly one minute and become a total fail the next. ARGHHHHHH! How frustrating!Show lessmspjg2
Crashes after latest update
Update (part 2) - thanks for listening to our concerns over game play and getting things back to normal again.
For those that hate ads - too bad but what do you expect for free. Perhaps the developer could offer an ad free version for purchase?
Thanks Team. Well done.
Update to previous. The game now works after updating to current iOS. However, gameplay is not as smooth as previous versions of game. Now whenever you enter a word, the deck just returns to the same order as when the round opens. It used to hold the order of the letters of the word just entered to make it easier to repeat for plurals and derivative words. I hope you fix this soon.

I’ve enjoyed this game for many years. Unfortunately it is crashing on my phone since it updated yesterday. I’m currently using iOS 13.6.1 on an iPhone Xs. Hopefully this can be fixed quickly....Show lessRingtone blah blah

I feel like they read my comment specifically, because they reverted to what I loved so much. The font is not exactly the same as before, but it is readable, which is the important thing. Haha The word tray is back to normal, no more oddly swapping letters around. The only critique I have now is an improvement to the sensitivity of the letter buttons, so players don’t have to struggle to hit one specific spot on the button. Thank you for listening, Word Warp creators! Time to game on. 😎

Used To Be Amazing, But Now...
I used to love this game. I played it multiple times everyday, but since a recent update it’s gone bad. The font is ridiculously hard to read, and there is some sort of bug that makes the letters swap around after every attempt at entering a word, making it impossible to keep track of where the letters are very easily. Please bring back the Word Warp I loved for so many years! 😭Show lessCstarh18
Latest update fixed the issues!
Updated review : the latest update fixed all the gripes that were part of my review when everything went to hell (see previous review below). Now things are back to the way it was before they messed with the original winning formula! Thanks for listening to your customers!
Original review:
I understand the need for ads since I've played only the free version of this game for over a decade. The gameplay and flow was very good prior to the latest major update. This latest update just messed up the flow and feel of the game. It's much less responsive to touch and the font is horrible. In prior versions, when spelling an incorrect word, the tiles would go back into the empty tile spaces in the order that the incorrect word was spelled. This was great. Now, when an incorrect word is submitted, the letters return to the same empty tile spaces that they originated from. This is horrible since it breaks the flow of thought and the visual and motor reflex. Please revert back to the prior look and feel and tile replacement characteristics. I can't play this game as it is.Show lessLarge168

Hi there, thank you for the updated review! We're glad to hear that you're back to enjoying the app! If you have any questions or feedback, please Contact Us. Thanks for playing!Do NOT load this app!!!
You will waste half your time watching ads, some with long videos that you can’t get out of. There is an ad or two after EVERY game you play. Other than the ads, it is truly a great game!! Honest! Too bad they spoiled a great game with all the ads!
—————————————————————
Update: there are still ads between each game but with the recent 3.4.0 version there is no way to easily silence the audio on the ads and they blare at full volume between games. This prevents you from playing the game when there are people around. In the settings tab on 3.4.0 there is a “Mute audio” box that I have checked about ten times now but when you hit the “back” button at the bottom of the settings screen, the “Mute Audio” box doesn’t stay checked (iPhone 10R) and the ads blare on. This is a bug in the 3.4.0 version that needs fixed.
Another issue with the 3.4.0 version is the size of the letter in the white bubbles. They are HUGE in this version. Very little “white space” around the letter. It is annoying and very distracting.
Developers; if you can’t fix these issues, please go back to the 3.3.4 version where these issues were tolerable. It seems that you make this game worse with every new version. It truly is a really great game if it wasn’t for all the ads, the blaring audio volume and the HUGE letters in the bubbles. Come on guys, you’re supposed to be developers, let’s get it right and make Word Warp the best game app ever!! ThanksShow lessGac-53

This was one of my favs but now I am having trouble with it since it was updated. The score sometimes gets stuck so it doesn’t add - it just stays on the same score after each round. I tried shutting it down and turning my phone off, but still having problems. Please fix this! Also, buttons are less sensitive so sometimes have to tap them a couple of times for it to register. Would like to see the app return to moving the letters into the order of the last guess rather than the letters being fixed until the next shuffle. This was a great game- with a few changes, it could be great again!Show lessWndyG
