Words to the American national anthem? No chance. ### 4/5 — Connect *2025-12-29, version 1.0.68* Easy way to stretch your brain with word connections! ### 4/5 — Great game *2025-12-01* It’s a great game. I’ve been playing it every day for a couple of years… but for the last couple weeks when I try to leave the game, it freezes will not only not let me leave, I actually have to turn off my device, (and even then it actually freezes my tablet ) What’s going on with that? It is weeks later and I’m still having problems with the game. It makes me wonder if I should just get off for good. When I’m done playing the game it won’t let me leave. It freezes. It won’t let me swipe, it won’t let me do anything until I actually turn off my tablet . It’s not my device. It’s the only game that does that. Please look into that. I hate to not play the game anymore. I really enjoy it. **Developer response:** Dear Lulu bones, Thanks so much for your 5-star rating and positive comments - as well as your constructive feedback.

Unfortunately I’ve found a bug whereby it’s stuck on the “Omnes Scientes” section. Normally 5 levels per section - I’m on level 20! I’ve reported this, but no response. ### 1/5 — ConnectTheWords *2025-08-10, version 1.0.63* The app isn’t working for me. ### 4/5 — Ads take too long *2025-08-03, version 1.0.63* The game is fun but the ads take forever to go away! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hiding the ad exit button *2026-04-09, version 1.0.69* Ads have always been annoying but i get it. You need to get paid and I respect that. But with these new ad schemes you disrespect your audience. I’m giving it one week of not playing. When I try next if it’s not improved I’m deleting. This is your only warning. Do better! ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-03-23, version 1.0.69* Forced ads once you get through the first 10 super easy ones with repeating words. ### 1/5 — Advertised as no ads..lie! *2026-02-23, version 1.0.69* Saw this advertised and it said ‘no annoying ads’ Great! Downloaded it and a few games I it started…ads, ads and more ads. Have now deleted it as they drive me mad! ### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads *2026-01-13, version 1.0.68* Deleted game ### 1/5 — French language not available *2025-12-28, version 1.0.68* Didn’t display in french, and didn’t find a way to select language. ### 1/5 — They intentionally exclude blind players *2025-12-24, version 1.0.68* No voiceover accessibility at all. For a game that is inherently about text, words, not to be even remotely accessible to the screen reader built into iOS, is just a crime. For these developers intentionally to avoid using the accessibility portions of apples tool kit, shows a shocking degree of disregard for the blind community. I have family who played this game and love it, and I would love to be able to play with them. ### 1/5 — Great game *2025-12-18, version 1.0.68* It’s a great game. I’ve been playing it every day for a couple of years… but for the last couple weeks when I try to leave the game, it freezes will not only not let me leave, I actually have to turn off my device, (and even then it actually freezes my tablet ) What’s going on with that? It is weeks later and I’m still having problems with the game. It makes me wonder if I should just get off for good. When I’m done playing the game it won’t let me leave. It freezes. It won’t let me swipe, it won’t let me do anything until I actually turn off my tablet . It’s not my device. It’s the only game that does that. Please look into that. I hate to not play the game anymore. I really enjoy it. So nothing was done… My unit is still freezing worse than ever you wanted me to update to a new version, but now that I did, I get the daily challenge and then I get nothing after that… So even though I had many years of fun with this game, I’m done I deleted. ### 1/5 — I think you need to be an American *2025-12-11, version 1.0.66* I started off with this word game full of hope a decent range of questions I thought and then by the time I got to game 300 I started to think this is very American based plus it’s fine if your a young celebrity obsessed and obscure sports freak who eats trash US food and knows very little about world history or even geography. I’m not remotely religious but some of the biblical references a priest wouldn’t know. Then there is the grammar and I mean English grammar not American at that point I gave up ! ### 1/5 — Super crash o matic! *2025-12-07, version 1.0.66* Definitely a fun game but it constantly crashing with every ad and requires dozens of restarts before going to the next level. Endlessly frustrating. ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2025-09-09, version 1.0.64* I paid for this game to avoid ads, however in order to progress you either have to buy coins or watch an ad from which you cannot exit. Avoid this hopeless game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So fun *2026-07-04, version 1.0.73* Even a little challenging at times ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-05-22, version 1.0.73* Great way to keep the brain active. ### 5/5 — Fun and Calming *2026-05-19, version 1.0.73* A colleague introduced me to this game and I enjoy it! ### 5/5 — Connect The Words: Connections *2026-05-11, version 1.0.73* Relaxing brain teaser. ### 5/5 — Really good! *2026-05-05, version 1.0.72* I play this game every morning, along with a couple of other word games and I think it’s really helped my brain. It’s a free game so there are some annoying ads but I just paid a few quid to remove those and now sail through. ### 5/5 — Connect The Words: Connections *2026-02-26, version 1.0.69* Can’t stop playing it’s very addictive as well as relaxing. Educational as well. ### 5/5 — Only Connect rehearsal *2026-01-13, version 1.0.68* Very good ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-01-09, version 1.0.68* Very addictive! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-11-20, version 1.0.66* It’s a great game. I’ve been playing it every day for a couple of years… but for the last couple weeks when I try to leave the game, it freezes will not only not let me leave, I actually have to turn off my device, (and even then it actually freezes my tablet ) What’s going on with that? ### 5/5 — Game 2000 *2025-09-24, version 1.0.65* I have loved this game, hate to see game 2000, coming shortly!
