So annoying ### 4/5 — Fault *2024-03-11, version 5.6* Doesn’t connect with words with friends,it did until the update ### 3/5 — Annoying! *2023-12-29* The “To Game” words in the upper right hand corner of this app no longer work to bring me back to the WWF2 game I am currently playing! Now, I must close the app to reopen that WWF2 game! It’s most annoying to have to do the xtra step when the old way of hitting the words “To Game” was much easier to do! The words are still there. They just are highlighted and can not be used! Thx. ### 4/5 — Payment *2022-11-26, version 5.6* When I try to pay for no ads and get all the options, the app just turns off. I love the app but I want all the good stuff.. so you don’t want my money?? ### 2/5 — Tiles *2022-09-30, version 5.6* The app gives you the words to use but it positions the tiles on top of other tiles so you really can’t play the words given. I haven’t been able to use it successfully 😕 ### 2/5 — Not worth the money *2022-07-26, version 5.6* App only gets the right words about 60% of the time. App only gets scoring correct 75% of time. Neither of the first has to do with tile styles or any other internal setting. At one time app worked great. Now go find a real app. This just up to take money and not provide what’s promised in the description. ### 4/5 — Love the app, but updates needed *2022-06-11, version 5.6* I love using the app, but it seems like the game allows new words that the app hasn’t picked up (“eo” and “jeet”) for example. Also, when a blank tile is change to a letter, the game doesn’t calculate the point total correctly. The app is still having the calculation issue years later. It changes the blank to an “X”, for example, and suggests almost all words using an X, but the points it’s calculating are wrong. ### 2/5 — Scoring is Off *2022-06-11, version 5.6* I was using the app but the scoring is off. It will tell me that a word is worth 80 points but in words with friends it’s only 20. This is happening all of the time. The points are much lower in the game! ### 2/5 — Needs work *2020-11-30, version 5.6* When using the app the scoring is way off ### 4/5 — Works great! *2020-10-06, version 5.6* There was a issue but not anymore. They fixed it and it works great! ### 3/5 — Good, not Great *2020-09-30, version 5.5* 1) There are words that I’ve discovered by chance, that this app misses or doesn’t detect. 2) Ever since Zynga added the emoji sticker, I get an error saying that the screen shot doesn’t look like a Word’s With Friends board. The sticker would deem this app completely useless for me if I hadn’t figured out that by editing each screenshot and whiting the sticker out, the app works just fine. It’s still a hassle. It would be nice if the developers of the app would update it already, so that it works even with the sticker. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-09-27, version 5.5* This app has stopped working 5 weeks ago. I have sent screen shots and emailed the developers with screen shots of the issue. No commas back and the recent update has made no difference! Not good when you have paid for the unlock! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-03-31, version 5.6* Hasn’t worked correctly one time. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-06-02, version 5.6* Works about 10% of the time so don’t bother with this app ### 1/5 — The same app??? *2024-04-16, version 5.6* Wow, the app reviews that laud the app must be using a different app than I am using. That is especially true if it’s this app! How does a great app use the letter “j” to make words when it’s not a letter in one’s letters to play? Not just on word or one time, but repeatedly! This is after making sure the app is up to date! What a real disappointment. I had hoped for something better. ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-02-10, version 5.6* Paid my money and it won’t read the boards I want my money back ### 1/5 — Help *2023-11-07, version 5.6* My return to game button does not light up. How can I rectify this? ### 1/5 — Help *2020-12-10, version 5.6* The app isn’t working properly 😬 it doesn’t work at all - says it is updated. Tells me to play “fa” and I don’t have an “f” 😬 ### 1/5 — Unacceptable words *2020-10-24, version 5.6* Keeps giving me word options that Words With Friends will not accept. Daily now ### 1/5 — Cheats & Words *2020-10-06, version 5.6* Was working until the latest update by Words with Friends 2. Will now not recognise any screenshots. Needs updating. Have updated latest version. It still doesn’t recognise screenshots when friends are not using the Classic Tile but other Coloured Tiles. ### 1/5 — Before *2020-09-29, version 5.5* Before you had where you could add the letters at least to see word options when the screen shot failed. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — hack the screen shot *2020-09-28, version 5.5* if you erase or white out the sticker before saving it to your photos it works ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-05-08, version 5.6* I like using this to find better words to play for a higher score value. I only play words that have a definition. ### 5/5 — One of the best app for WWF! *2022-12-18, version 5.6* I believe this is one of the best app so far. It does pick up on some of the WWF board variations but for regular play it is great. ### 5/5 — By far the best word cheats app!!!! I swear!!! *2021-12-15, version 5.6* My favorite!!!! It is the best one!!! I LOVE IT!!! ### 5/5 — nice app *2021-10-17, version 5.6* well done ### 5/5 — Its working again *2020-10-07, version 5.6* I don't use this app to cheat. I use it to see if my word comes in in the top 3. I get more happiness knowing that then winning the game. ### 5/5 — Love it again *2020-10-06, version 5.6* Words with friends has put a sticker on its screen so now this app that I paid for no longer works! I complained to both words with friends and cheats and words. I complained and after just a few days, cheats and words fixed the problem. I’m back to being a happy camper ### 5/5 — So happy this app works great *2020-10-06, version 5.6* So happy with how well this app is working now! Worth the wait! ### 5/5 — No longer works *2020-10-06, version 5.6* Stopped working since the wwf app has been updated with stickers Update: now fixed ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-09-16, version 5.4* I love this app but it isn’t working right now. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-03-21, version 5.3.5* At first it was giving me an error but then i realized you gotta turn your tiles to normal --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
