More like annoying. ### 3/5 — Johnnyt2 *2026-07-04, version 2.1* Aggravating Request : a3-star because I don’t want to review every time I open the app. Otherwise it’s pretty good. ### 3/5 — Lexeme *2026-05-14, version 2.1* I find it very helpful when I need it ### 4/5 — Great - but … *2025-04-16, version 2.1* Love this app but when I upgraded my iPad it wanted me to buy the full version again but I had already purchased it. Didn’t see any way to put my info in except an “ALREADY BOUGHT” button that didn’t work. ### 3/5 — Updated my iPad. *2024-05-29, version 2.1* This is so confusing. I purchased this like long time ago and they led me to believe it was another version with another fee. ### 4/5 — It does the job *2024-05-27, version 2.1* I use the app whenever I’m stuck finding all possible words. Suggestion: It would be great if I could find words in Spanish as well. ### 3/5 — More legitimate words *2024-02-22, version 2.1* Teach this app more words that are legitimate. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2021-10-18, version 1.6.0* Annoying. It reverts to initial phase every time you finish! Goes black and you have to wait a couple seconds- While you try to remember the seven tiles you have!!! ### 2/5 — App has changed for the worse *2019-01-02, version 1.6.0* I got a new iPad and ever since it won’t let me search words larger than 7 letters. I can on my phone. Very aggravating as I’d rather play my games on my iPad but it keeps telling me to pay $.99 in order to get more choices. I refuse. I’ll just delete from my iPad and play on my phone 😡 ### 5/5 — Works great on my iPhone X & iPad Pro 12.9” *2018-11-14, version 1.6.0* This app has been a great help to players of Words with Friends since 2010! People complain that they can not restore their purchase. They are wrong I was able to restore my purchase on my iPhone X and iPad Pro. Here’s how: 1) Launch the app. Then close the app completely (be sure to swipe it up to completely close it out). Relaunch the app and you will literally have less than a second to press “buy” or “restore purchase” Press the “buy” button Then it will tell you “You’ve already made this purchase” Then press “OK” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Review *2026-07-28, version 2.1* So obvious I can’t use this app with constantly asking for a review!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Keeps asking me to write a review. *2026-05-18, version 2.1* Decent app, but it asks me to write a review several times a day. So it gets 1 star. ### 1/5 — No way to contact customer service *2024-02-29, version 2.1* When other players ask to join different games it says no in my country. What’s that mean. Also no more chats. Been playing over 10 years ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-05-09, version 2.0* I’d give zero stars if I could. Enjoyed it a great deal but now it crashes repeatedly. Haven’t been able to use it for months. ### 1/5 — Shut down *2023-04-12, version 2.0* Too many shut downs and no upgrades for 1 year!! Come on, guy, upgrade to iOS 16! ### 1/5 — Needs work *2020-09-29, version 1.6.0* PLEASE fix this app!! It keeps locking my iPhone up!! You GOTTA care! FIX IT!!! ### 1/5 — No thanks *2020-07-02, version 1.6.0* I paid for the full app and they now want more money for the features I already purchased. No thank you. ### 1/5 — Wasted 3.96 trying to upgrade for 99c *2020-04-10, version 1.6.0* It takes the 99c but does not upgrade. ### 1/5 — Guess I’ll be finding another app 🤷🏻‍♀️ *2019-06-14, version 1.6.0* With no updates in 4 years and now all the functions I PAID for aren’t working (no definitions) I might as well go browse the App Store for something else! ### 1/5 — Have to pay for big words found one is completely free *2019-01-28, version 1.6.0* In this you gotta pay one dollar for bigger words and i found one with all words free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-19, version 2.1* Fab ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-23, version 2.1* Good ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-21, version 2.1* Love this app ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2025-03-10, version 2.1* Always works well & I like the filtering. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2024-07-10, version 2.1* I use this app occasionally and find it very useful. ### 5/5 — Great for anagrams *2024-02-21, version 2.1* I mostly use the app for anagrams in crosswords. Particularly big anagrams with two or three word answers - solving these by sheer brain power can be very time-consuming. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-08-20, version 2.0* Wow! So amazing ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2021-02-24, version 1.6.0* I had the app for years. Got a new iPad and now I’m told I can no longer see 7 & 8 letter words and must upgrade for $.99 what happened to the version I already had? Why must I do it again? ### 5/5 — Lexeme *2021-01-05, version 1.6.0* Great app but in app purchase to upgrade is disallowed for some reason so it won’t let you see words longer than six characters ### 5/5 — go through purchase to restore *2020-07-02, version 1.6.0* I had deleted this from my ipad then reinstalled the free version and couldn’t figure out how to restore the purchase to full version. So I decided to pay the 99 cents again, at the end of the purchase it said I had already purchased it and offered to restore it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
