### 5/5 — Why ads now?

*2025-03-10, version 202.0.5*

Suddenly there is an ad after every level.   USED to be an enjoyable game. Sigh…..

### 1/5 — Uninstalling. No longer fun to play.

*2025-02-23, version 202.0.5*

The new update makes game play tediously slow. More importantly, there are intrusive advertisements after EVERY board. My recommendation is to support a vendor that understands their user base.

### 1/5 — Why?!!!

*2025-02-11, version 202.0.0*

Latest update totally ruined this game!  Why?

### 1/5 — I hate the new update

*2025-02-10, version 202.0.0*

UPDATE: Scam!  I paid to remove ads but I’m now getting ads again and can’t remove them.  This was clearly the point of the update.  Of course Apple doesn’t provide a way to report the scam.

Original below:
I’ve been playing LfWs for over a decade but the new update feels like a bad clone of the original.  The graphics is uglier, the TEXT is tiny now making it hard to read.  The feels like a completely unnecessary destructive change.  I wish Apple didn’t force us to update the apps.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2025-02-08, version 201.0.4*

I used to love this game and played all the time. Now it’s just full of spelling errors and wrong info. Kind of hard to get a word when the letter isn’t there, then you realize it’s just because they spell the word wrong.

### 1/5 — Conan

*2024-12-22, version 201.0.4*

Never choose the category entitled Conan. I have reached the point where I can’t go no farther, all the choices are Conan only, and when I play and win, the counter stays at the same number. I don’t go up another level I just play the same level over and over and over and over again! I have no more data disc and it’s been forever since I’ve gotten a free one. Used to love this game. 🥹

### 1/5 — Get so far freezes and purchases not reinstated

*2023-12-12, version 201.0.4*

No app support you get so far and each of the catagories freeze so you go to the next catagory which freezes and then you cant use the game - the purchases you make are useless and if you delete and reinstate the app it gakes you back to the very beginning and wont give your purchases back - you end up doing the same catagory over and o ver again and there is no way of contacting them to get help - but was grsat whilst jsing it up to this point

### 2/5 — Used to love this game…

*2023-06-24, version 201.0.4*

…but now I’m on an endless merry-go-round of music rounds and that’s my least favourite subject - haven’t been offered anything other than music for months.

### 3/5 — Lost for words

*2023-05-12, version 201.0.4*

I love playing the game, however with the new iphone14 the camera in the center of the top blocks the words I am spelling out. Please adjust the viewing area for the new phones and the rating will be higher. Thank you

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2022-06-13, version 201.0.4*

Great game, but it doesn’t fit on the iPhone 13 screen properly.
