### 5/5 — SLOW!

*2026-08-28, version 3.06*

Dont know what has changed but over the last week the game has been extremely slow….

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-06-03, version 3.05*

Don’t understand why the orange color is so light and not the same intensity as the green — really hard to read. Plus, today it told me “every” is not a word. This has happened before.

### 5/5 — Love This Game!

*2026-04-28, version 3.03*

This is a no frills octordle word game with NO ADS! I play it every night because it doesn’t scream with ads. Very low noise ( only the keyboard haptics) Thank you for a simple yet challenging game!

### 3/5 — 14 chances again please

*2026-02-15, version 3.02*

Originally when I played this game 14 chances were possible. I have found that often 13 chances are not enough. Please change it back to 14, thanks.

### 1/5 — Not functioning

*2026-01-26, version 3.00*

I was enjoying the app but several months into an annual subscription, it failed to recognize that I was actually subscribed. I can’t access any of the categories.

### 5/5 — Explanation of the score.

*2026-01-18, version 3.00*

How does the scoring work?

### 3/5 — Fun but Very Buggy.

*2026-01-14, version 3.00*

Fun but Very Buggy. Lots of UI problems

### 1/5 — Update removed subscription

*2025-12-24, version 3.00*

Unable to restore my subscription after recent update. Help function in app doesn’t work. Email address for support also don’t work.

### 1/5 — Buggy, issues with coin purchases and submitting feedback

*2025-12-19, version 3.00*

Purchasing coins doesn’t offer much value unless you also have the subscription. The coins I bought didn’t work when I tried to retry a puzzle I had failed. To make matters worse, when I attempted to submit a bug report, I ran into another bug that prevented me from doing so. Overall, this felt like a waste of money.

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2025-12-15, version 3.00*

I was really enjoying playing this game and I paid to continue playing the extra categories. Then one day I was locked out even though my subscription continues to be active. I’ve tried to contact Support and have received no reply.
