It’s much faster just to close out the app and reopen. ### 3/5 — Levels *2026-08-17, version 1.400.4* You need to fix the game, if you get to the gold level and then stop playing and go back to that level it will bring you back to the first level, the bronze level. I’m sure it’s just a glitch but it’s quite annoying ### 3/5 — Updating *2026-08-15, version 1.400.4* Game is not updating as it should. Keeps taking me back to puzzles already completed. Very annoying! ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-09, version 1.398.0* It,s great ### 4/5 — Scammed *2026-08-08, version 1.398.0* I love the game and play everyday i recently bought something from one of the adverts between games i think i have been scammed out of £36 it was for Amazon return pallets ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-07, version 1.398.0* An excellent game for learning at any age bracket ### 1/5 — Dave *2026-08-05, version 1.398.0* Take the pop up ADDS OFFFFFFF THEY’RE ANNOYING AND COVER THE PUZZLE ### 4/5 — Too many poo up AA’s *2026-08-04, version 1.398.0* Too many pop up ads ### 1/5 — Fix the ads! *2026-08-04, version 1.398.0* The ads are so bad that every 10 seconds there is one and it blocks half of the wheel where the letters are. This just started happening. Please fix this asap! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Oh gl gf *2026-08-28, version 1.400.4* New ads cover gameplay. Don’t mind the ads between games but the ads during the game makes it all but impossible to play ### 1/5 — Amazon *2026-08-25, version 1.400.4* Too many boring Amazon ads ### 1/5 — Fun, But… *2026-08-22, version 1.400.4* The game was great until you’re past the high levels and then it’s just a lot of repetitive stuff. They’re slow to update and you lose your rewards you’ve spent time building. I’m not very interested in playing much any longer. ### 1/5 — Fun *2026-08-21, version 1.400.4* Fun games, but way to many ad interruptions ### 1/5 — No way to get to support! *2026-08-20, version 1.400.4* I have been playing this game a long time and it has made a lot of money off me but lately the programming is awful. Two days ago it made me play the same words 4 times never giving any credit for the previous. Today, I was playing for 20 minutes and getting no credit for the words done. This makes it impossible to move up in rankings during tournament play. ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2026-08-19, version 1.400.4* Too many ads! ### 1/5 — Broken ads *2026-08-19, version 1.400.4* They keep replaying the same broken ads. Had to close the app just to get it working again. ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2026-08-07, version 1.398.0* The repetition and frequency of ads makes this impossible to play. ### 1/5 — Stop interrupting the game *2026-08-06, version 1.398.0* I don’t like adverts that are played during the game, sure a pop up at the corner or between games, but a voice ad is very annoying during the game when sound voice over have all been turned off! ### 1/5 — Errors *2026-08-05, version 1.398.0* The app is great until you get into the upper levels and then it keeps making me redo 2-3 puzzles. Not worth playing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the ads *2026-08-29, version 1.400.4* No need to spend money to remove the ads. Those are some fun games to play and you can play them without downloading them. ### 5/5 — I miss where you can choose what your level you want like you can go back to later levels *2026-08-28, version 1.400.4* When do they have to change it? I'm so sad they did because I will join. You. Get to change the living levels. I'm so mad they got ### 5/5 — Good fun *2026-08-23, version 1.400.4* Pretty good game. Not a lot of ads. ### 5/5 — Truly Enjoyable *2026-08-21, version 1.400.4* Challenging ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME *2026-08-15, version 1.400.4* Love this!! ### 5/5 — Don’t really wanna write this *2026-08-14, version 1.400.4* I’m not writing something. I just want people to see more of you but it’s pretty good! ### 5/5 — Witty Breeze *2026-08-13, version 1.400.4* A breezy burst of clever fun, Crossword Jam turns wordplay into a happy mental dance. Light, lively, and just smug enough to make you feel brilliantly unstoppable. ### 5/5 — Challenging and Fun *2026-08-12, version 1.398.0* Makes you think! ### 5/5 — Skeeter *2026-08-11, version 1.398.0* Great idle time game ### 5/5 — D *2026-08-09, version 1.398.0* Its like doulingo --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
