Missing Packs, Broken Multiplayer

Yesterday, I bought six packs to play with. Today, single player isn’t showing any of my new packs, and multiplayer is just flat out broken. Every time I click multiplayer, it just shows a white screen. I would request a refund, but Apple won’t let me. Waste of money, waste of time!

fascinating and entertaining

love this game, i find etymology and word origins so interesting and there's so many fascinating origin stories that i didn't know about at all! i've learned a lot playing this and the price for more cards is pretty reasonable. definitely recommend!

Not for the truly educated

The third card I encountered was “limelight.” The game cheerfully informed me that this came from the process of “burning“ lime or calcium oxide. Lime is already rather thoroughly burnt, as a high school education in chemistry will inform one. When lime is heated intensely, it will undergo two different kinds of luminescence, emitting light, but not “burning.”

Nice app

Fun, educational, and entertaining. Caution don’t use when you have other things to do as it can be …”just one more” and same for restricting children's use times

Paid for extra cards and didn’t get them

I paid for 300 cards. I started playing then noticed ads kept popping up. Thought this was strange, since I paid over $7. Then U got a message to buy cards! If this problem is fixed, I will change the star rating. Not pleased with the app at this point.
