### 2/5 — Stuck in July

*2026-04-04, version 2.5*

I usually enjoyed the puzzles, but my app has been stuck on July 7th since July 7th. I can see on the calendar that the calendar has progressed, but the app won’t give me the new puzzles anymore.

### 2/5 — Good when it worked

*2026-01-25, version 2.5*

Has been stuck on July 7th for forever, I can’t play any of the games since then

### 1/5 — Unsupported

*2026-01-25, version 2.5*

As others have noted, this once fun app no longer has new puzzles or updates.

### 3/5 — Heartbreak

*2025-11-28, version 2.5*

My former favorite game has stopped updating. Haven't gotten a new puzzle in months, but I still get notifications telling me to take a shot at today's Portmanteau. I open the app and it's already completed from July. I keep hoping it will update one day.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2025-08-08, version 2.5*

I loved this app until the puzzle stopped updating a month ago and never reloaded. There’s no updates to the app so I guess I’m just stuck. Bummer, it was fun.

### 3/5 — Stuck?

*2025-08-06, version 2.5*

The app is fine itself but has been stuck on July 7th

### 2/5 — Fun when it works

*2025-07-16, version 2.5*

Fun app, lets you compete with a friend to see who is faster (and needs fewer hints), but it sometimes goes days between new puzzles being released. With only one puzzle for day, this is very annoying.

### 3/5 — Very fun but stopped updating

*2025-07-14, version 2.5*

This has become a daily event in the lunchroom at my work, and it's been fun to solve the puzzles together but it's been stuck on July 7 for a week, and we've been missing it.

### 5/5 — No new puzzles

*2025-07-13*

App has no new puzzles for the last week. Please update!

### 3/5 — stuck on july 7th game

*2025-07-12, version 2.5*

i’ve been really liking this but it’s been stuck on the july 7th game and won’t let me play todays game
