### 3/5 — Really fun game, but it took my money lol

*2026-01-20, version 2.2.0*

I actually think this game is really fun and good for passing time, but i wanted to get rid of the ads, paid the $1.99 to remove them, and it didn’t work. When i try to restore my purchases, the app just crashes lol

### 2/5 — Great, except…

*2025-10-20, version 2.2.0*

I love this game so I immediately paid to remove ads. After, I still had ads. Closed the app, tried to restore, crashed. This happened several times. Then I tried to purchase and it said I had and asked if I wanted to restore. I said yes and got a message about an insufficient time stamp. I know it’s only $2 but there are more ads than I’d like and wish they’d stop.

### 4/5 — 👍🏾

*2025-06-17, version 2.2.0*

It’s a cool game , Queen Dictionary was the easiest 🙂‍↕️. More people need it for multiplayer tho

### 3/5 — It would be a 5…but

*2025-04-28, version 2.2.0*

Cheaters… You have cheaters in the game who are getting double play points every turn.   
Please correct this and I’ll bump this up to a five

### 3/5 — Too much ads

*2025-03-21, version 2.2.0*

Literally after every game there’s an ad, it’s the most annoying thing about this app

### 2/5 — Help please

*2024-12-10, version 2.2.0*

It wont let me challenge my friends and when I do they can’t get an invite to join, please resolve this

### 3/5 — Great Game but Unfair Advantage that Wrecks the Enjoyment

*2024-11-28, version 2.2.0*

This game is great apart from the fact that it gives a very unfair advantage to the player who goes first, as other players noted years ago. The developers said years ago they added a bonus round to fix this issue but there are no bonus rounds as far as I can tell. I have been first in every single multiplayer round I’ve ever played and it feels unfair and hardly competitive, as it’s very easy to be the first one to 50 when I effectively get one turn more than the player who goes second. Also, my fiancé and I do not have a Facebook. It frustrating that signing in with Facebook is the only way to play with friends as we had to make accounts specifically for this app. And to top it off, the invitation feature doesn’t even work. There is no way to accept a game invitation so after all that, we’re not even able to play together. Additionally, I paid for to remove ads. The app said my purchase was successful then crashed and it still shows me ads.

### 3/5 — WTH

*2024-11-25, version 2.2.0*

The game crashes when you pay to have the adds removed and then still proceeds to show adds please fix this or give me my money back

### 2/5 — I like the game but you can only log into Facebook

*2024-08-13, version 2.2.0*

Being able to only use Facebook for login is ridiculous. Could you please add a different log in feature?

### 2/5 — Ehhhh

*2024-03-11, version 2.1.0*

Would be a great game if you could actually play with your friends but anyone I’ve tried to play with just gets stuck on the loading screen.

### 2/5 — Fun concept if multiplayer worked

*2023-04-25, version 2.0.36*

This is a fun idea and I want to play against my friends, but it can’t connect to anyone it keeps saying server failed. Reinstalled, tried different networks, my iOS is up to date..I don’t know it just keeps saying failed to reach server. As a single player game it’s fun but I really only got it for the multiplayer.

### 2/5 — Good game but…

*2022-12-27, version 2.0.36*

This app needs some work. It’s a really fun game but it would be better if you implement the device keyboard. It’s really easy on the game keyboard for your finger to slip and hit the wrong button or letter. I used all of my auto completes on accident because of this. If I accidentally type the wrong letters it takes extra of the limited time I have to think and type a word just to backspace and type it again. On the shorter time rounds it gets really stressful and frustrating. On top of that, when I watch an ad to recover a auto complete, the game just freezes and won’t let me do anything but exit the match and lose a life. I lost almost all of my lives in a short period of time because of this. Please fix these issues if you are still working on this game. I find it really fun and it’s sad to see that it’s becoming genuinely unplayable.

### 2/5 — can’t connect to server to play with my friend

*2022-11-07, version 2.0.36*

can’t connect to server to play with my friend

### 3/5 — Complaining

*2022-09-04, version 2.0.36*

I paid for no  advertisement ,But there are still ads.

### 2/5 — Playing with friends doesn’t work

*2022-05-12, version 2.0.36*

I’m connected with my friend in multiplayer, but when we try to start a game nothing shows up for the other person. Makes the game pointless as I only downloaded it to play with friends, not randos.

### 4/5 — Enjoy but..

*2021-10-30, version 2.0.27*

I really enjoy this game! It tests my vocabulary and it’s empowering. The only problem is I don’t have a Facebook account. I’m pretty sure many people feel the same as me when I say I really suggest you add another log in feature that is more popular, such as Email, Instagram or even Apple account. I really want to play with my friends but I can’t. Please add this feature! Thanks

### 3/5 — It’s alright

*2021-08-15, version 2.0.27*

Good game idea but is anyone else’s game glitching out and doubling the scores on multiplayer?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-05-15, version 2.2.0*

I paid for no ads, still get ads. Love the game but hate the ads. I troubleshot the app myself then contacted the developer twice and got no response. The ads make it not worth playing so it sucks that paying for ad free doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-02, version 2.2.0*

Insane how you are forced to watch an ad after each match against the bot. Horrible experience. Would not recommend

### 1/5 — Of course, ruined by other humans.

*2024-10-09, version 2.2.0*

The game itself is great, I love the concept and how it’s played. What ruins it, is when you’ve won and the game gives your opponent “one last chance”. If the goal is 40 or 50 and I get there first, then I won. Secondly, there needs to be some sort of code that can be introduced that can suspect when someone is cheating. I have a very good vocabulary and I do not doubt anyone else, but when the opponent is using 18 letter words, it’s pretty obvious what it is.

### 1/5 — Can’t play multiplayer with friends

*2023-11-02, version 2.0.36*

The multiplayer option is fake, when I give my friend my ID it doesn’t work please fix!

### 1/5 — multiplayer does not work

*2023-08-08, version 2.0.36*

this game is really fun when you’re playing story mode, but i tried playing multiplayer with my partner and it just didn’t work. you can send invites but there’s no feature on the app to accept invites and it literally just doesn’t work. i’ve also found that this game crashes constantly and i have to restart my match all over.

### 1/5 — No

*2022-12-09, version 2.0.36*

Too many ads. Too much random ish

### 1/5 — Pay for play

*2022-10-25, version 2.0.36*

Get bombarded with ads unless you pay

### 1/5 — Restricts play when you lose

*2022-09-05, version 2.0.36*

When you lose you lose a life. Lose a few and you can't play for a while. Great concept, but game play restriction is dumb.

### 1/5 — Tried to delete and reinstall app because of bugs

*2021-08-03, version 2.0.27*

I was almost charged a hidden 50 fee

### 1/5 — scammed!!!

*2020-10-30, version 2.0.25*

i bought the ad free version and i got a message saying it couldn’t go through because “an excessively old time stamp” but it took my
money anyways!!!

### 5/5 — So good

*2024-01-17, version 2.0.36*

I like playing with this game with my daughter, but it will be even better if I can set to play the game without time limits because my daughter is very nervous when there is a time limit if you can set the game without time limits. Yeah, I think well, my daughter will like it even better even more yes

### 5/5 — Great Game !

*2023-04-23, version 2.0.36*

(Just my opinion) I like it because it’s fun and it helps you write more instead of playing games !

### 5/5 — UNDERRATED GAME

*2022-04-13, version 2.0.36*

This game is super fun and honestly deserves waaaaay more players

*2022-02-03, version 2.0.27*

Simple and easy game that is mixes it up jus enough to still be challenging.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-11-20, version 2.0.27*

Great for learning new words and building vocabulary. Awesome for kids.

### 5/5 — Needs more people

*2021-08-02, version 2.0.27*

Love the variety of challenges in story mode. But I wished there were more people online in multiplayer. Perhaps you could work on advertising this game more?

### 5/5 — Love this game.

*2021-05-04, version 2.0.27*

Love this game. There is at least one glitch where I type a letter and it doesn’t show. So I have to erase and rewrite which can make me lose especially during speed rounds. I’m addicted though. This is so fun.

### 5/5 — MrsJ

*2021-01-18, version 2.0.25*

This is a good game to help with memory and thought processing. Recommend to AARP.

### 5/5 — Amazing!❤️

*2020-12-29, version 2.0.25*

I love this app because I love to learn more! This app helps me learn more words and new definitions! I absolutely love this app and that will never change! The app lets you learn new words and definitions through fun!

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2020-12-10, version 2.0.25*
