Leave a Review Word Warp
It used to be a good app
Originally, I purchased the ad free version of this app only to later get an email saying the developer no longer supported an ad free version on iOS. Of course, no refund was offered and customers, who previously paid, were not grandfathered in. Ok, so you took my money and turned the ads back on. Now I get an update (version 3.4) that changes the format and playability of the game. I guess if I had never experienced the original version, I might be okay with the new version. However, it seems that the app developer keeps changing the game, at the user’s expense, to collect more ad revenues. I’ve been a big fan of Word Warp for years but will now be searching for something new that is not owned/developed by this app developer - Mobilityware. NOT RECOMMENDED!Show lessAnthony Crisp
One of my favorites
I really love this game. It’s one of the three best word games I’ve found, and the other two are no longer available. It’s a good mental exercise, and having a dictionary attached allows me to learn definitions and the etymology of various words. Yes, it has an ad or two after each game but they are very short. A small price to pay for a free game, IMO. I would love to be able to tweak the word list a bit to eliminate some obsolete words and pick up the occasional common word that is missing, but overall I think the game is excellent. Thanks, developers!Show less1Falote1
Never Gets Old
“This is the only game I can't stop playing. I've had this game since iPhone 3G, and though it's not perfect, I'll keep playing it as long as it's supported. There isn't a feeling more exhilarating than when you're about to run out of time and you still haven't found the six letter word, or more satisfying than when you discover it when in the final seconds. To keep your record streak going. Highly recommend this to word game lovers.” 5 Stars....
I just found this five star review I was contemplating writing a few years ago and then the phone broke and after replacing it I forgot about it. Fast forward a couple years I remembered how much I loved this simple yet addictive game and decided to download it again. Wish I hadn’t as the developer has decided to turn it into a never ending stream of advertisements unless you pay... Now the occasional ad is to be expected on a free game and I can’t begrudge them for ads, but it is literally in between every single round now. It was nowhere near that frequent a few years back and I mean not even close. This great time waster game has became a waste of time since you may now spend as much time watching ads as you do playing a round and that’s with the ability to skip the ad after a few seconds! And why pay to avoid the ads when the money obviously doesn’t go into improving the game. Very disappointed.Show lessDamija360

Thank you for the feedback. Our team was very careful in designing our ad policy to provide players with the best possible experience. As you mentioned, each ad should be simple to close after a short timer has elapsed. We also consider all the feedback that we receive in app reviews, so yours is very much appreciated. Please don't hesitate to Contact Us through the in-game Support page if you have any additional questions or concerns for our team! Thanks again for the feedback.It’s become unplayable
I used to really enjoy this game. But ever since they changed it with the loud irritating ads playing after every single round I’ve been playing less and less to the point where it’s not even worth the aggravation anymore, and after years and years of having this game I am about ready to just delete it. If there was an option for a paid version without millions of ads I’d gladly buy it, but they don’t even give the option to pay to remove ads. Yeah, I’m done.
Update: I’ve found two better replacements, Wordstock and Jumbline, both you pay a small price for, $1.99, but it’s the same type of game but with no ads.
My response to your response:
You’re not getting it; it doesn’t matter if we can dismiss the loud irritating ads after 5 or 10 seconds, it’s the fact that we have to deal with this after EVERY. SINGLE. ROUND. It’s not worth it. There’s other games out there. I’ve already downloaded two other games identical to yours that I paid a small fee for with no ads. If you add an option to pay to remove ads completely I may reinstall, but until then you will remain deleted.Show lessSeven_Of_Nine_2350

We hope to hear from you soon and thanks again for your feedback!Ads upon ads upon ads
This is one of my favorite games to play. I’m sorry, if I wanted commercials I would watch tv. I turn my ringer down to avoid that loud music that seems to be attached to every ad. Now the ads are getting longer. You would think they would want to make money from players who actually like playing this game and who are will to pay for no ads instead of getting paid by advertisers. All those stupid ads will not be seen if everyone stops playing! Go back to offering a paid version with no ads, but this time don’t mess it up when it updates. Or here’s a crazy thought... better yet, start limiting those ads. I swear I can go bake a cake and come back and one of those stupid ads will still be playing. The struggle is real I tell ya... the struggle is real!!Show lesstoni1989
So sick of ads after each game session!
I couldn’t agree more with the reviewer who stated they are sick and tired of all the advertisements after 99.9% of each game.
That said, I have enjoyed Word Warp for years....I am actually up to 48,000,000. However, again, there are times I am ready to quit playing because of all the ads. Even though, sometimes, you are offered the opportunity to “skip the ad”, it still takes 5 seconds of waiting to do so.
I would recommend to Word Warp management, if you don’t want to discourage new (and less patient) players from remaining on this app, REMOVE THE ADS!!! Or at least consider only showing them every 10th game?!!!
I have talked to several of my friends and family whom I recommended Word Warp.....and they have quit Word Warp simply due to all the advertising....and moved on to other games.
I have to admit I have grown weary of the underwear ads that “enhance the male package!”Show lessWord Warp weary!

Hi there, Thank you so much for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. I completely understand your frustration. All our ads in Word Warp should be short and easily dismissable. If this is not the case for you, I recommend sending in a ticket by going into Settings - Information - Support - Contact Us and we will work quickly to remove the issue. Also, our policy only allows family-friendly ads to display within our games. Ads are delivered by an ad network so unfortunately, it is possible that a bad ad may accidentally slip into the rotation. We would love to If this happens, then we ask users to Contact Us with a screenshot and description of the bad ad so that our team can quickly get it removed.Fun, but...
It's a fun app that I've been playing now for many years, but there's just one thing that bothers me. The ads. They used to only come up like every 3 or 4 games, but now they come up after every game. That irks me because the only thing that changed was going from a 32bit game to 64bit. That's all. No updated features. If you can handle ads, then I say go ahead and download it because you won't be disappointed.Show lessmattmcfangibson
Loud Ads When Playing On Mute
Really irritating to hear loud volume ads when playing on mute. Hey developers, there is a reason that some of your players choose “no sound” in settings. It is not good at all that when I finish a game I silence — and after EVERY game— a high volume ad jarring ad pops up. What’s worse is that I am forced to listen to the ad until an “X” pops up so I can choose to close it. What continues to get worse is some of the advertisers are sneaky in that a tiny “x” to close the ad is almost transparent to barely be seen while there is another very visible and large “X” that when you hit that , it takes you to the App Store.
I realize you need ad revenue for those of us playing this game for free, but the set up is really disrespectful to your players. Of course, it is obvious that your app isn’t about the game and players, it really is a platform for advertisers.
Please fix. Thanks.Show lessDariacool

Hello Dariacool, We would like to fix this broken ad issue, however, we need more info in order to do so. Please open the game Settings, and select Email Customer Support to Contact Us with a screenshot and description of the bad ad that you are seeing. Our team will use this info to work to remove the broken ad as quickly as possible! Thanks for playing Word Warp!Do NOT download this app!!!
In the name of all that is decent, run now. A month ago, they started running ads after EVERY Word Warp game instead of after every few. I don’t like it, but I can accept it. But over three weeks ago, they started running an ad that plays loud music every time it plays. Not welcome at times when you’re playing discreetly, obviously. Within a week, this ad started playing after EVERY single game, without exception. Their customer support strung me along, promising me that they would “take care of” this...at one point telling me that HAD taken care of it. They have not; it’s STILL running after every game, and they’ve stopped responding now. What I can’t believe is the sheer idiocy of thinking they can do this without offending players both loyal and new (not to mention the sheer idiocy of the advertiser imagining that this ad is doing their company any good). Please...boycott stupidity. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! UPDATE: I was told by technical support that they would be working to remove the offensive ad with the soundtrack, but that it would take “several weeks to do the programming.” (Why?) As it turns out, they lied. When I checked today, this same offensive ad was still playing after almost every game. But just now, I find that a brand new ad has been added — and it also has a soundtrack that plays loudly. This is beyond unacceptable. I repeat: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! And please, boycott every other product this lame company produces.Show lessBigStar303
Way to many adds
I have been playing this game for years ~ it is or has been my favorite go to game. I purchased a license to avoid the ads. When I got messages on my iPhone that the app would not work on new version of iOS I was concerned ~ can’t tell you how relived I was when the app was updated. But I feel betrayed now that I have to wade through ad after ad after ad what a waste it is with great sadness that I am now deleting this app from my phone I’ve tried to play regardless of the adds but just can’t take it anymore. Not only am I forced to sit through ads that are as long as it took me to solve the game (or longer) it is usually the same ad over and over again. If and when the developers get a clue and honor the agreement made by my purchasing an ad free version I’ll be the first one to reinstallShow lesstthe1t
