Is this Worldle? What’s changed?
I’m a but confused. Is this Worldle? I don’t recall installing an app of this name. It has become quite spammy - asking me to allow app tracking, asking for AI chat, asking for notifications etc

This sucks
It’s good

None
Preferred the old format much more
Pointless
Such a stupid game I can’t believe I wasted my time downloading it.
Flag game doesn’t work
The flag game is supposed to give you street views and clues, which I haven’t received any.
Awful
The new system sucks!
Tis a lot of fun and only one of like five games is pay to play
They let you play geogusser free to my knowledge and have some fun geography quiz’s a lot of fun so far.
No longer part of my day
This used to be part of my daily “quick game” routine. It was a lot of fun and helped me learn geography. But since the latest update, it’s just dumb. The street view images give you no idea as to where you are. The “how to play” tutorial says “Look for signage,” but not a single street view image I got showed ANY signage. And when you guess, it tells you how far away you are from the right spot, but gives you no direction. And it’s terrible for actually learning geography.
Why must developers ALWAYS make a game worse with updates? Please, please, PLEASE, just go back to the map-based game.

Ads lock screen.
Recent changes include ads that lock screen. Shutting down and restarting app is the only solution. Don’t use this app.
How to ruin an app 101
Ads galore and obvious overdeveloping with generative AI.
Shame, its beauty was in its simplicity.

Not accurate game
The flag game is terrible. It wants you to guess the country by dropping a pin, but even if you guess the country correctly, you don’t get full points unless you magically guess the center of the country (I think). Also, small island countries don’t show up on the map unless you know exactly in the Pacific where they are and can zoom all the way it. The game sucks.

Bait and Switch
This used to be a great, ad-free app that earned five stars from me. Then they massively changed the app so that it shows ads for malware that are difficult to even dismiss. A real shame.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
Update ruined it
Please improve
This app is so buggy but if it improved I would love it. The daily challenge has no variety in where it drops you and I cannot play the other additional games besides the basic.
RIP to the old WORLDLE, hello to a new and worse experience
This used to be my favorite daily game, but the recent update has really hurt the experience.
The app now has aggressive ads, including scam-looking ones like “Your phone has 70 viruses, click here.” Even worse, most ads seem to get stuck and won’t close, forcing me to completely close and reopen the app just to continue playing.
When I first opened the updated version, I was required to create an account. That was not really a problem, but what really bothered me was being forced through a notification setup screen that couldn’t be skipped. It essentially required enabling notifications before continuing, which felt unnecessarily pushy.
The new UI feels cluttered and much less polished than the old version. While some of the new features are fun and add variety, they come at the cost of what made WORLDLE great in the first place: a clean, simple, minimalist experience.
It’s disappointing. I’ve played this game almost every day for over five years, and it used to be an easy recommendation. Now it feels like another app chasing engagement metrics at the expense of user experience.

Great app ruined
Another great app ruined by ads and paywalls. Deleting.
Really worthwhile fun!
I downloaded this to check it out to see if my dad would enjoy it, as he is a world traveler and geography buff, but I am enjoying this app immensely! The amount of FUN! I expected when trying it out, far exceeded my expectations. I love looking at the street views & guessing where that one location is in all the world! So cool!!! And educational. Excellent work, creators! This was effort well spent. Many thanks! 🙏💖🌎🌍🌏✌️💓💕

Hate the upgraded app.
Can’t seem to figure out how to even type in a guess on the country silhouette page. Going to go back to a more basic version if I can. I have enjoyed playing the daily game every morning but this new version is just too frustrating.
Awful signup process, malicious ads
Awful signup process that kept failing and forcing me into allowing notifications and sharing person info. Then 2 minutes in get a pop up saying my phone has been hacked. Turned out to be a fake ad that looked like a pop up dialog and couldn’t be dismissed.
