### 2/5 — Not many

*2026-06-12*

There’s a few games on this that it makes me sad

### 2/5 — Spoilt by….

*2025-07-03*

…..the childish coins overlay. There are many games…. and I haven’t played any of the crossword ones, having read the reviews saying they come complete with stupid clues, but never mind.   The point here for me is that every game I’ve played has a crazy childish coins overlay to it.  You get given coins for completing, coins for playing 10 minutes, and are charged coins for any of the various kinds of assistance requested.  With Pic Quiz, this is insane, as the pics are so generic it’s impossible to guess the answer and assistance "costs" an absurd amount, dwarfing the coins awarded for completion.  

But that’s minor compared to just how stupid this overlay is in terms of how badly it gets in the way of a smooth user experience.  For example, I’ve just completed a head scratching puzzle (I really like Word Jigsaw) and naturally expect to see the result, but no!  Some stupid graphic takes over the screen to award me 50 coins.  I don’t give a …. !   Just when I want to look at the result of all my hard work, Havos has decided that I want to look at a stupid and to be honest fairly meaningless graphic.   There’s a "review" button to go back and look at it, but that isn’t the point.  Havos!  Stop treating your users as if they are all 3 years old!   

I downloaded this app because I love Codeword, another of Havos's.  But that is standalone.  No coins and no stupid graphics.  So now I’ve shelled out A$14.99 for this one to be ad free but I never want to use it again.  Instead, I want an ad free and coins free version of the stand alone version of Word Jigsaw, but that will cost me another $4.99.  Not happy.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve found the coin system frustrating. The coins are included in many of our games as a way to unlock hints or assistance when players get stuck, but we understand that not everyone enjoys this feature.

If the coin animations are disruptive, you can switch them off in the settings menu, which should make for a smoother playing experience.

If you have any further questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us directly at developer@havos.co.uk.

Best regards,
The Havos Team

### 4/5 — Parou de funcionar após a última atualização 😕

*2025-01-08*

O jogo é bastante divertido, mas infelizmente não funciona mais após a última atualização (janeiro/2025).

**Developer response:** Houve um problema com o jogo, que afetou alguns usuários. Ele já foi corrigido, atualize para a nova versão. Lamento muito pelas dificuldades.

### 4/5 — Ne fonctionne plus depuis la dernière mise à jour

*2025-01-07, version 5.0*

Bonjour, j’ai ouvert l’application ce soir et après avoir vu un message concernant une mise à jour.. impossible d’accéder au jeu. 
Cela est peut être provisoire mais je tenais à le signaler.
Autrement l’appli est super

### 3/5 — Skandináv online.

*2024-11-05, version 4.3*

Kicsit csalódott vagyok mert egy normál keresztrejtvenyt vártam és olyanok vannak benne h felé angol ős régi film cím v angol dal cím.. Mellesleg.. Már volt aminem neten néztem meg a szinonimájat mi a csuda lehet de persze egyik sem jó. Egy másik szó volt ami hasonló ugyan de mégsem annak megfelelő-szerkntem..

### 4/5 — Éric M

*2024-09-02, version 4.3*

Je trouve parfois les définitions très approximatives

### 3/5 — Too much advertisement

*2024-08-11, version 4.3*

App is good and interactive however every 3 games 1 long advertisement pops up.

### 4/5 — Find a word

*2024-05-18*

I enjoy the games.

### 3/5 — Bajó la calidad

*2023-10-26, version 4.0*

Juego de muy buena calidad, pero desde hace algún tiempo el programa no corre bien. Se cierra reiteradas veces antes de iniciar. Ojalá lo puedan solucionar pronto.

### 3/5 — Maso…

*2023-09-17, version 4.0*

Por una parte tienen muchas variantes de puzzles y eso está buenísimo. Pero por otra, en varios se nota que no está producido por hispanohablantes y eso afecta la calidad del juego. Aparte, se me trabó la app en una publicidad, como mi dispositivo no tiene cómo forzar la salida opté por eliminarla y buscar otra.

### 1/5 — Subscription needs updating

*2026-03-18*

I’ve liked the games, but. My first unpleasant surprise came realizing after paying for my phone subscription, a new subscription needed to be bought for the game on my iPad. Now on a new phone the subscription has not migrated to my new phone and I don’t see a way to rectify this. Feels a bit like a rip off.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we’re really sorry about this. Sometimes Apple does not automatically recognise an existing subscription when moving to a new device. In most cases, using the “Restore Subscription” option in the in-game settings will correctly restore your purchase on the new phone or iPad, provided you are logged into the same Apple account as the one with which you bought your subscription.

If that doesn’t resolve it, please contact us at developer@havos.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help get it sorted for you. We’re also very sorry for the delayed response.

### 1/5 — Arrow word

*2025-09-30, version 5.2.1*

Rubbish !

### 1/5 — Why make the letters smaller?!

*2025-06-09*

Long time user and subscriber, why have you made the hint buttons massive in word connect? The letters were already too small and crowded and now it’s even worse. Please fix ASAP, maximise the space for the letters.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for your message and for being a long-time subscriber — we really appreciate your support.

We recently adjusted the size of the tiles because we felt the layout looked unbalanced compared to the hint buttons. That said, it’s possible the design may appear differently depending on the device, so we’d be grateful if you could send us a screenshot to developer@havos.co.uk of what you’re seeing. This will help us check whether something looks off on your device and make improvements if needed.

Best regards,
The Havos Team

### 1/5 — Version 5. Quel malheur!

*2025-01-08, version 5.0*

Impossible de jouer avec la nouvelle version. Ecran noir au démarrage… dommage j’adorais ce jeu

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-10-06*

Far too many ads to the point you watch more ads than playing the game!

### 1/5 — Ohne Münzkäufe oder Werbetrailer spielt man hier gar nichts

*2024-09-04*

Frech und dann noch wahnsinnsspeicherplatz, keine Empfehlung

### 1/5 — en français, catastrophique.

*2024-03-01, version 4.2*

des définitions qui ne sont pas en rapport avec le sens, des définitions farfelues pour trouver des noms que meme google ne trouve pas, titre de rock alternatif, personage de comics , vraiment ne perdez pas votre temps. c'est une traduction de jeux anglais, très maladroite. RIP le francais.
ah et oui, faute de genre, faute sur les lettres ... bref perte de temps

### 1/5 — Nao baixem, anucio a cada 30s

*2024-01-21*

Anuncio demais

### 1/5 — App não funciona

*2023-10-15*

Nao consigo abrir, assim que abro ele fecha sozinho.

### 1/5 — Fatal

*2023-09-24, version 4.0*

Ni me abre la app….

### 5/5 — Set your own difficulty level, so good for all ages

*2026-04-14*

A very enjoyable way to test your brain power, with no annoying timer. So many different types of word games- and so cheap if you want to avoid adverts.

*2024-08-14, version 4.3*

### 5/5 — It’s good but not very helpful

*2023-11-29*

The storage it takes for all these games in one is astonishing. I love it, but the arrow cross game, if I type and answer it doesn’t tell me if it’s wrong or right, which is very useless and makes it difficult to play.
