### 3/5 — Running out of puzzles…

*2025-10-08, version 3.00*

This game has always regularly added puzzles, but now they are about to run out.  Soon won’t be able to play 3 or 5 puzzles a day to get the bonus coins when the offer pops up.

### 2/5 — Worthless streak count

*2025-09-05, version 3.00*

I play everyday, however, the game doesn’t acknowledge. Give it up o correct, or don’t you want to give up the points?

### 5/5 — Love This Game

*2025-06-15, version 3.00*

I’ve been playing for 3 days & I am truly enjoying it. Only playing the Easy puzzles so far… getting familiarized w/ the games rhythm.

### 3/5 — Good game but doesn’t coordinate well in Game Center.

*2025-05-27, version 3.00*

I love this game but I just switched phones and lost my daily streak despite playing it twice on two separate phones. Can anything be done?

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-25, version 3.00*

I met your parents ..walking by their place the other day.. and I am now a jumble junkie..😍

### 5/5 — Fun to play

*2025-03-01, version 2.95*

Challenging but fun.  Different levels increase in difficulty makes you think.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2025-02-25, version 2.95*

Battling Alzheimer’s and trying to keep my brain from rotting any quicker than it already is🤬🤬🤬.  Truly enjoying playing AND learning new words!

### 5/5 — A Daily Challenge

*2025-02-21, version 2.95*

I’ve been a super fan of Jumble since I was a child at twelve when it appeared in the newspaper.I’m now 64.
EXCELLENT

### 5/5 — FUN!  FUN!

*2024-12-11, version 2.95*

Really enjoy this game.  I play it whenever I’m in need of a break from reading the news.  Gives me a chance to work my brain a little and relieve me from the stress I get from all the problems throughout the world.

### 5/5 — Great thinking game

*2024-12-08, version 2.95*

Totally enjoy doing my Jumbles every morning… it’s sometimes a real challenge, but enjoy pushing myself to get it done quickly

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2024-11-08, version 2.85*

I’ve always loved Jumble since years ago on the comics page. I play a few games on this app every night. Works perfectly, never a bug or anything.

### 4/5 — Giant Jumble

*2024-09-20, version 2.85*

I wish puzzles would automatically replenish when the available ones are used up. Players miss out on challenges when they are not available.

### 5/5 — FAVORITE CROSSWORD GAME

*2024-08-28, version 2.85*

The game is a perfect length, with several levels of challenge.  Not too many purchases.  LOVE that you can opt out of ads for a reasonable price.  THAT’s an important reason to consider it!  There are other games by these developers that I enjoy as much, too!

### 2/5 — Suddenly takes me to Safari

*2024-07-16, version 2.85*

July 2024 suddenly in the middle of the game it will suddenly take me to safari where something is scanning my iPad for viruses. Never happened before. What is this?

### 1/5 — Obnoxious Adds

*2026-06-05, version 3.2*

Be prepared for ads that lock you out in the middle of a session. Rude

### 1/5 — So much fun until….

*2024-07-15, version 2.85*

Have to agree with others! Game is fun but started redirecting me to safari about testing for viruses. When I realized it wasn’t just me, I deleted it. Not safe! Fix!

### 1/5 — Was a Good game but now opening Safari

*2024-07-12, version 2.85*

Previous review: Enjoy the game. Some puzzles are challenging but overall not too bad.

New review: Going to delete now… The app opens Safari without permission…easy way for scammers and viruses to infiltrate. I can understand if it were after a game and an ad popped up but this occurs when I shuffle the letters in the middle of a puzzle. Not a good way to treat customers.

### 1/5 — Automatic misdirect to Safari

*2024-07-08, version 2.85*

I bought the no ads and now I get this sudden, frequent misdirect to safari for an app for scanning.  Fix it!!!

### 1/5 — Scam hijacking to Safari.

*2024-07-08, version 2.85*

Apple should remove this from the App Store until this is fixed. It goes to Safari and “ runs a virus software check “. 
Noticed that it is draining my phone battery.

### 1/5 — Automatic misdirect to a scam site

*2024-07-06, version 2.85*

I had played this game for several years, but had to delete it yesterday because of the hijack within the app that another user also noted that causes Safari to automatically launch to a scam site—until this issue is rectified, I will not use this app again.

### 1/5 — Great but

*2023-03-22, version 2.55*

I don’t like the fact that any time you miss one day you have to wait 45 days to get back to 4 digit points. That is too long.

### 1/5 — As With Just Jumble There Are Now Persistent Drums

*2023-03-19*

For quite a while now as can be seen with the recent reviews for the developer’s Just Jumble app a drum beat score starts playing and cannot be silenced. Occasionally force quitting the app or restarting your phone can resolve this temporarily. But it always comes back. It’s extremely aggravating and if a time frame cannot be provided for a resolution I will have to delete all apps from this developer.

### 1/5 — Jumble

*2023-01-23, version 2.50*

FANTASTIC

### 1/5 — Crashes - won’t load

*2022-05-29, version 2.48*

After last update the app won’t run (your “sister”  apps won’t run either - same problem) - crashes upon loading.  Please fix.

### 5/5 — Crossword gamer

*2026-02-05, version 3.1*

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-12-13, version 3.1*

### 5/5 — Thank you❣️

The care which is included in the setup of all your puzzles is very appreciated. Always trying to bring us enjoyment❣️

### 5/5 — Jumble

*2025-10-23, version 3.00*

Oh I am so happy to find this game. I always played this game when I was younger in the NY Daily News with my father… It brings back such wonderful memories! I’m so very happy to find this!!!

### 5/5 — About the game

*2025-10-10, version 3.00*

This game is so fun. And keeps me using my brain. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Awesome Games

*2025-08-15, version 3.00*

Love playing all of David’s,  games. They are relaxing and challenging and I also learn something new all the time.

### 5/5 — Black screen

*2025-08-01, version 3.00*

I’ve played this for years but a couple of days ago the app wouldn’t open. I finally deleted it and downloaded it again. Now the open screen comes up and then it’s a black screen and nothing more happens. Is there a fix for this?

Problem fixed.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2025-07-28, version 3.00*

The very best…always has been and always will be!

### 5/5 — Addictive AND Educational

*2025-06-16, version 3.00*

This is by far my favorite of all of David’s games, and I play all of them. It’s the first thing I do everyday. The questions and clues are diverse and I’ve learned some interesting facts just from the daily answers to the final questions. 
Once you start this game you’ll get hooked on it too! Thanks David for a great game experience!
