### 3/5 — Arbitrary word choices.

*2025-02-25, version 2.2.7*

The game disallows several words that are legitimate. It will also fail to accept a legitimate word; then when you give up on, it will fill in the very word you had been submitting. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
This happens repeatedly at highest level levels

### 4/5 — Fun

*2024-12-15*

I've played this game for a long time and it is great exercise for the brain. I play a number of word games and am an avid reader so my vocabulary is good. Some of the 6 letter words are very obscure and not commonly used. "Quahog"? Seriously. This is not fair. Wordle does a much better job of using common words.

### 3/5 — Jumbline

*2024-12-01*

I enjoy the game but would appreciate it if you could remove the announcements that all too frequently appear from the left side of the game square that obstruct my view of the open squares. It’s rather annoying because it is continuously popping in site of the playing field.
Thank you.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2024-09-19*

I've played this game for a long time and it is great exercise for the brain. I play a number of word games and am an avid reader so my vocabulary is good. Some of the 6 letter words are very obscure and not commonly used. It's frustrating to lose a streak because the 6 letter word is one I've never heard of.

### 3/5 — Good game but

*2023-06-04, version 2.2.7*

It uses too many American short forms of words which are arcane or are not real words. 
Somehow it keeps telling me that I have got all the words in a group which covers the words and is very annoying. I can see when I have got all the 4 letter words and don’t want to be told so. 
Many well used English words are not included . Adding words seems possible but these words are never adopted.

### 5/5 — Great brain game.

*2023-05-23, version 2.2.7*

Intuitive play. Good options. Several different place styles. NO ADS!

### 3/5 — UPDATE THE APP!!!

*2023-04-08*

I actually really like the way this word game is laid out - and I’ve tried a lot of word games. But the creators didn’t include so many everyday words that it eventually gets really frustrating to type in a word that is obviously a word and have it not be accepted. There’s a feature where you can “add a word,” but I’ve been “adding” words for years now, and none of them have been added to the game’s lexicon. However, there ARE many words that only a scientist or someone who just finished college level science classes and hasn’t yet had time to forget the terminology would ever guess except by trying letters together in logical but random orders. This is a game that Word people will want to play, not that Science people will want to play. Know your audience.

### 5/5 — Time Passes On

*2023-03-03, version 2.2.7*

Love this game. Challenging but fun.

### 5/5 — Update Jumbline2 for iOS

*2022-10-31, version 2.2.7*

Would love to play this game on my iPhone 12 with iOS16.... great game!!  I can only play on my old mini iPad 😩😩😩

### 3/5 — American spelling!!

*2022-06-28, version 2.2.7*

We could do with a British version of this. I found it very frustrating to continually have words turned down and others accepted because of the difference in the way we spell certain words. There are also numerous words obviously unfamiliar in America which are common in the rest of the English speaking world!

### 4/5 — Like the game, dislike the frowning face

*2022-06-27, version 2.2.7*

Not everyone has a brain that sorts letters into words quickly. When you run out of time, it is very frustrating. Having a frowning face tell you that you didn’t do well is discouraging.

### 4/5 — Good but incomplete

*2022-05-14, version 2.2.7*

Swear words are words, as is slang. They should be included. Stop with the banners on the levels you’ve completed. They’re annoying and don’t allow you to review your puzzle. Otherwise a great game.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun but can we get rid of plural words?

*2022-04-14, version 2.2.7*

Very addictive game but which there was to play without words that just add “s” at the end. I

### 3/5 — Fun but Incomplete

*2022-02-13*

This game is fun. However, some common words aren't allowed. In some cases proper nouns are used, but not in all. They use old words sometimes, but not all the time. If there is a word that has two spellings, a lot of times one isn't allowed. Many times I checked the dictionary to make sure I was spelling a word correctly, and found there were two spellings of the same word. They use scientific suffixes and prefixes, but again not all of them, especially if they are more common. Just know, it might get irritating when you know you spelled a word correctly, but it's not there. Otherwise an enjoyable word game.

### 1/5 — Old guy

*2025-03-18, version 2.2.7*

I’ve enjoyed this game for years. Now that you’ve added so many ads it destroys the fun. At my age I don’t want to waste time watching ads.

### 1/5 — Too many ads!

*2024-12-07, version 2.2.7*

Used to be fun. Not anymore. Too many ads. After every game!

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-05-09, version 2.2.7*

Love the game, but it is impossible to pay to remove ads.

### 1/5 — they want to mine your data

*2022-11-23, version 2.2.7*

I bought this app to pay without annoying ads.  now suddenly I can't play because they want me to create a profile and give y personal Information.  zero stars.  thieves. they took my money then took away my access

### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads and more ads

*2022-05-11, version 2.2.7*

Been awhile since I played. I honestly don’t remember having at least 4 ads shoved down your throat before being able to play the next level. Don’t start playing, the ads make it very frustrating to want to continue.

### 1/5 — Jumbline2

*2022-02-11, version 2.2.7*

Not one I would recommend. Lots of the words used are forms of Great Britain archaic words. Some words you could never guess because they are from another culture. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Jumbline 2

*2021-12-10, version 2.2.7*

A complete waste of money.
They use non English words and words for which they have no definition available.

### 1/5 — Fake words

*2021-03-11, version 2.2.7*

Jumbline was good until “fake” words appeared. Goodbye forever, sorry to see an enjoyable game ruined by entries not in a real dictionary.

### 1/5 — New update no longer a good game

*2020-11-14, version 2.2.5*

Last upgrade seems to change the dictionary into random languages. I have everything set to English but now getting Albanian words. May be a new dictionary but no way I can see to turn it off. Sorry this was one of my favorite games....

### 1/5 — Poor dictionary

*2020-11-11, version 2.2.4*

Many legitimate words are not accepted

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-08-04, version 2.2.7*

Love the game but it disappeared from my fire tablet after 10+ years. Have it on my iphone now but too small. What happened?

### 5/5 — Ads

*2025-02-03, version 2.2.7*

I bought this game. Why do I have ads!!!!!

### 5/5 — My favorite game on the phone… update

*2025-01-19, version 2.2.7*

Plain and simple... The best. Have played over 12000 games so far on this round :~)

### 5/5 — Jumbling 2

*2024-12-26, version 2.2.7*

This has been my fav game for a long time.  It’s addictive!

### 5/5 — Ads after upgrade

*2024-09-27, version 2.2.7*

I’ve played this game for years and the ads were manageable. I finally bought the upgrade because I wanted to support the devs. I am, however, still getting ads, which is a shame. Went from 5/5 to 2/5 for that nonsense.

### 5/5 — Jumboline 2 is the Bomb!

*2024-06-28, version 2.2.7*

I have enjoyed and challenged myself for 5+ years with Jumboline 2. It’s fast paced, always fresh with new words, and never has any crashes or hiccups. Really fun and addictive game! Good job, developers!

### 5/5 — Words

*2024-06-21, version 2.2.7*

I love this little game and I’ve been playing it for years but I am frustrated with the amount of words it doesn’t recognise. I wish it had a much broader vocabulary.

### 5/5 — Been playing for years!

*2024-05-18, version 2.2.7*

I have been playing Jumbline since I got my very first Apple iPod back in 2011. It is one app that I never delete or hide. 
The l fact that there is no money to spend or terrible ads to watch is the game’s best feature. It’s simplicity is the second best thing about it. 
Play in untimed mode to relax, or timed mode to challenge yourself. 
I would gladly pay for this game up-front if needed as I enjoy it so much.

### 5/5 — Emmy

*2023-10-30, version 2.2.7*

Super game. Love the challenge! Long time fan.

### 5/5 — Best way to start your day

*2023-10-13, version 2.2.7*

Two or three anagrams with a cop of coffee certainly gets the brain cells moving. Would prefer single dictionary choice - like UK English - but am picking up the American vernacular slowly.
