Don’t Like Updates

I keep getting asked to review even though I’ve submitted one. Also I don’t like that the warning to check the puzzle comes on now every time you check a puzzle. There should be an option to turn off—especially for puzzles from the archives.

Glitchy App

Sometimes the games load through the app, sometimes they do not. If you ask for help, you are given 15 million hoops to jump through…clear cache, uninstall-reinstall app, log out/log in, blah blah blah. I wonder if people started asking for credit from the subscription, would that get the NYT’s attention? 🤔

Stop asking

Just rating it so it stops asking me to rate it

Egregious Crossword Error

The Midi today (7/16/26) had a clue “toy blocks.” The puzzle required “legos” as the correct answer. But LITERALLY EVERYBODY knows that the plural of lego is lego. Either the NYT has started outsourcing puzzle design to AI or [insert ableist sarcastic reference]. Unacceptable!

Disappointment!

I really love this App and play the games every day but since the update yesterday, I constantly get the message “oops, something went wrong” and whichever game I’m playing cuts out. It’s happened about 10 times today and I’ve sort of given up in frustration! Is this a fault in the App or my iPad?

All the games keep crashing and kicking me out. Not worth paying for.

Crashing

App updated yesterday and now can’t have Wordle open for more than ten seconds before it crashes. Please fix!

Buggy new version

Your latest version crashes Spelling Bee constantly after about a minute of use. Please fix it!

Latest update causes errors

I love this app and play most of the games every day. The latest update seems to have introduced a bug though and I can only play for 30 seconds before I get an error. I’m using an iPhone 14 and so far have got the errors in Wordle, Strands and Connections.

Unplayable!

Since the 6.34.0 update, it's virtually unplayable! Constantly crashes, and needs to be restarted. Needs a fix urgently!

It keeps crashing

The games are fun but the app itself is not great. It is always freezing and crashing

Keeps crashing

Every few minutes it’ll just crash. Might be due to the update but is very annoying

16/07/26 UK- Another update again keeps crashing! Maybe stop the updates?!

Crashing

App constantly crashing, shouldn’t have to pay for this when it can’t be used.

Latest update is glitchy

The app keeps kicking me out of games with the message “Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later.”

Last update not working!

Won’t let me progress. Errors constantly. What’s happening?

Constant Crashing

I’ve had this app for a while now with no issues, but from today every time I’ve gone onto a puzzle it seems to crash every minute making it almost impossible for me to focus!

Keeps crashing

The games are great. But app keeps crashing after each release. 2nd times release has caused this. Not stable

Doesn’t work with iOS 26.5.2

Just updated to iOS 26.5.2 and the app has stopped working

Latest update causes crashes

Updated the app today, now it keeps crashing partway through a game. Strands and pips have both crashed several times so far. Haven’t tried them all.

App keeps crashing

Maybe it was due to an update, otherwise loved this app
