All the enhancements stink!
I have played words with friends for years. They have added a bunch of stuff that I don’t care a toot about. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve accidentally hit “play word” when I didn’t want to play the word. They used to have a failsafe “do you want to play that word”? They don’t have that anymore. They keep pushing me into other games. It used to be that when you saw “next game” and tapped it, you’d go to another game you were playing. Now it doesn’t mean you have another game to play, it can mean that they’ve paired you up with a stranger or a computer and it starts a game that you have to resign to get it off your screen. They have added badges or some sort of perk that you have to watch for no reason because you played some specific letters—like you play letters for them? I play letters for points and to win the game. Not because they want me to play all the letters in “tulip” or some other word they choose. I have been thinking about quitting altogether because of gobs of stuff I don’t want.

Going downhill
I love this game, and paid for the ad free version, but there are so many distractions on the sidebar, colored tiles, rewards etc. that i will be looking for a new game unless you give us a way to turn off all these extras
Switcheroo
Years ago I paid for the ad free/contest free version of wwf because all I want to do is play the game. You added these so called ‘enhancements’ without asking for my permission. I am so sick of playing a word and then having to wait for all the stupid ‘congratulations, you’ve made the word of the day’ or ‘your new word of the day is...’, which actually turns out to be the word of the hour when I play multiple games a day. I want you to remove all the extraneous junk from my games please. What I paid for is the game, not all the dumb congrats boxes and awards. From reading other reviews, I am one of probably thousands of others who are not happy with your so-called improvements. It seems to me that either you remove the ads and silly boxes of awards, congrats, and other things we didn’t pay for or we are all owed our money back. Of the 2 choices, I prefer you remove the junk so that I can play wwf without interruption. I’m giving the game itself 4 stars because by itself, it’s almost a perfect game. Thank you.

Was great, now a NIGHTMARE and a FARCE❗️
Well Zynga, you obviously dont give a rats whatsit for your
loyal players. I communicated the same complaints that so many are expressing in their reviews to you through the app previously, but is it not clear to you that you are not providing a decent game experience for many, probably the majority? You can only push people so far, and I would say you have now gone to the limit with your singing and dancing nonsense. It gets sillier and sillier, and more and more boring, frustrating and clunkier to use, the more you force this inanity on folks. Sure there will be some who like all this charade of a scrabble game, great, bully for them, but give people a choice please. You are becoming more like Big Brother everyday and I detest being forced to engage with an AI who increasingly grows bloated and insatiable by the day lording/enforcing its presence over this game.
Learn or Burn Zynga❗️🤯

How do I choose not to have coloured tiles and other garbage?
I can’t stand coloured tiles, solo games, boxes etc but the screen only offers “great” with no “x” to say “no thank you”. I had to quit.
Cheating
I enjoyed this game for many years. One thing you have to be wary of, though, are the players who cheat. I enjoy pitting my knowledge of legit words with someone who does the same. I recently accepted a challenge from an unknown player with an average word score of 30 plus. She was obviously using a cheat sheet. No honest player uses four strange non-words ( with no definition) in one game. She was simply better at cheating. After a couple of games with her I understood why she has played so few games in the several years she has played. Iwould like to see the rules changed to exclude words with no definition, impose time limits on players and loss of turn if a player tries an unacceptable word. I don’t know how to prevent cheating but this would help.

Too Many Adverts!!!
Shoving advertising in our face is in POOR TASTE. 🤬🤬🤬
Jammed
I have loved using this game for years and suddenly it just stopped working, seemed to jam! Nowhere to seek help! Sadly I have now had to delete and have lost all my games, contacts and history. Not happy
Current 64 bit version is a huge step BACKWARDS
Have been using wwf AD FREE 32 bit version for years which was a very good app. Current app doesn’t automatically offer ad free version for those who have already paid for it. In fact so far it doesn’t offer ad free version at all. It seems they just want to add mountains confusing ads and offers on screen which which the only result is that users move on to other apps.
As a result of so much junk on-screen the app is too slow.
You had a great 32 bit app , please respect those who have already paid for your add free service and offer free upgrades to ad free or at least offer a new ad free upgrade for the 64 bit version.

Needs work
This particular Words with Friends app needs to repair some software issues. Let me point out the obvious first. There is always an ad that pops up after every word submission, but no payment option to remove ads. As for the software side, the ads appear to be rushed when it was installed to the program. It never streams well, and half the time the ad does not auto adjust to your screen size. So when the short ad is complete, you can’t close it out. My app has crashed multiple times during an ad, and during gameplay. If it doesn’t crash, my screen will freeze. On average, I play around 1-2 hours per day. During those times, I would have to shut the app down to reset it. And this happens averagely 3 times within 2 hours. Just for the record, my iPhone has a 128gb memory, and nearly half of that is available. And all updates are current. So if you’re reading this, there are plenty of other apps to choose from.
