Overtime, ads have dominated this app Now they take up so much time, and repeat, and nearly always keep you from getting back to the word hints. The app is basically useless now. [had 2 years of use on iPhone 14 Pro] ### 2/5 — Lost ability to scroll through choices *2024-04-27, version 5.4.2* This latest update has a significant bug where the unused tiles at the bottom of the screen overlay the choices. You can see the highest point choice but can’t move through to see the other options. The highest point option isn’t always the best play. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Great help! *2023-02-21, version 5.2.0* I love this more….when it was free. This has been an amazing for times that I get stuck and in tournaments but I feel that if I pay for it, I should be able to use any background not just the sunny. Why does this not support the other backgrounds? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, Word Chums backgrounds are extremely difficult to support, so it's unlikely we'll add support for other backgrounds to Snap Cheats. ### 5/5 — Word Chum *2023-01-20, version 5.2.0* This game is my favorite of all. ### 5/5 — Nurse and writer *2022-08-21, version 5.1.1* Love the games. Love to beat the hint or best word. Many times I get the message - no playable words- and it isn’t true because I find words. There must be a bug in your software. Your the best! ### 3/5 — Ok *2022-02-23* This app used to give you the highest scoring word from the screenshot but no longer does. I can find much higher scoring words than this app give me by using the Word Chum Hint button after putting this app’s recommendation in. **Developer response:** You can access the best words with either a VIP subscription or by watching a rewarded ad. ### 5/5 — Summer theme *2022-02-21, version 5.0.4* App keeps telling me it only supports summer theme. Go to store and change. I ALWAYS use summer theme!! Very frustrating to keep deleting and reinstalling the app all the time. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Word Chums needs improvement, asap. *2022-01-04, version 5.0.2* I find that the hint offered by word chums scores more points than the current version of snap cheats for word chums. I would like 3 different words offered. Like, highest scoring word, average scoring word, interesting common word. That way our opponents don’t feel beat up on every game. Currently, since the original app upgraded their software, the word supplied by cheats is not the highest scoring word, but usually scores more points than the average player. It would be stellar to offer lower scoring words, but offer multiple words. ### 5/5 — Snap cheats for word chums *2021-12-23, version 5.0.2* WARNING....DO NOT UPDATE, OR IT WILL NOT WORK!!!!!...WENT FROM A GREAT AP TO HORRIBLE ,BECAUSE IT NO LONGER WORKS I agree...horrible,can’t keep up with word chums No longer worth the trouble…have no idea what a vip is…not sure it actually gives us the highest possible points…not worth the trouble…so I rate it more than HORRIBLE ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2021-11-21, version 5.0.0* It’s okay, but it used to be excellent before they decided to charge big bucks for a subscription. ### 3/5 — Was helpful… *2021-11-19, version 5.0.0* Now it’s telling me that I can’t make any words out of any of my screenshots? Got a new bug? Since this review I’ve uninstalled the app, and then reinstalled and it’s back to working as normal. Perhaps it was a glitch due to the recent iOS updates. I’ve noticed a few things have been weird with some of my apps and I’ve had to do the same. Very helpful when I’m stuck finding that perfect word in a full grid on Word Chums. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2021-11-11, version 5.0.0* It used to be a great app but constantly now stating no playable words, so quite pointless now, I just got a 96 word score using an alternative app for a word this app not recognise ### 5/5 — Now ONLY 4 BIG subscribers *2021-10-30* Junking this app after 18 mos. of steady use. The last update was a BIG MISTAKE. Now you have to pay a higher monthly fee to see the “VIP” answers to the word suggestions. I don’t waste my time with these apps that require subscriptions that add up to big bucks over a year - far more $ than the app is worth. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-05-18, version 5.5.4* Annoying review pops up too too much! ### 1/5 — Unbelievable how obnoxios this is! *2025-10-17* I recently downloaded again to see if they changed their fradulent ways, but you still gets ad after ad without a chance to see the answers. They will never change! Don't download. You will never get any help from them! **Developer response:** Our ad partners usually do a great job at not allowing offensive or malfunctioning ads on their platform. For those instances when they fail, you can always tap the ad's identifier in the corner and use their reporting system. Not only will it flag that particular ad, it will also inform their systems not to show you other ads of its kind. We also offer a VIP upgrade that removes all ads. ### 1/5 — Ad promotions a huge negative overshadowing a good app. *2025-06-02, version 5.5.0* Have to suffer ads when the app is opened and if you want to see top tier hints, so can be a double ad whammy wasting your time. Plus the ads are for a game I would/will never play/purchase if only because of the life wasting ads. ### 1/5 — Was great until… *2024-12-08, version 5.4.3* It stopped loading the screen shot. Keep getting the message “cannot load unless you have the summer screen.” Of course I ALWAYS had this screen on. So apparently there is a bug that needs fixed. ### 1/5 — R *2023-07-22, version 5.3.0* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-07-09, version 5.3.0* Worked fine until a week ago. No longer even opens ### 1/5 — What a shame *2022-01-30, version 5.0.3* Such a shame this app now charges. So not only do they have adds but now if you want the highest scoring word you gotta pay 2.99?!? Awful ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY (plz read) *2021-02-19, version 4.1.0* so i have had this app for a long time and it has been pretty helpful i actually thought this was a good cheat app. but sudenly just recently it started malfunctioning. every time i upload a picture to the app it gives me words with letters that i dont even have!!! like literally its just giving me random words that i cant even do because i dont even have those letters. do not buy this app its not reliable it might work for a while but then start not working all of a sudden and it was even acting weird before this so i wouldnt recomend this app ### 1/5 — Me *2020-11-29, version 4.1.0* Update wants you to give permission to all your photos, not just your screenshot for the game. Why on earth would you give a gamer unfettered access to all your photos!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-11-11, version 4.1.0* This used to work beautifully for me. It has been at least a year since I have used it and now I can’t figure out how to use this app. It is not intuitive and I can’t find instructions. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-01, version 5.5.6* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Great customer support *2025-10-16, version 5.5.3* I’ve been using this app for a number of years and it works great. It unfortunately doesn’t support any theme except for the sunny theme but i understand what a logistical nightmare it would be having to ad support for multiple backgrounds. I highly recommend this app. Great developer support as well. ### 5/5 — Need more inventory *2025-06-17, version 5.5.2* You add very little to your monthly inventory and some of it is too far out..... need to pump new blood into this game. Plus, we pay for hints and your hints are never the best words. ### 5/5 — Ads *2025-05-03, version 5.5.0* Why did you make your ads 21/2 minutes long? It sure make want to delete the app!!! ### 5/5 — Better when it was free! 🤪 *2024-07-06, version 5.4.2* I loved this more….when it was free. BUT since now I pay for it, please WHY DOESN'T it support other backgrounds?!?!?! This has been an amazing for times that I get stuck and in tournaments but I feel that if I pay for it, I should be able to use any background not just the sunny. Why does this not support the other backgrounds? Will this feature ever happen?!?! ### 5/5 — Themes *2023-12-06, version 5.4.0* I love this app! The only thing I wish you’d update is being able to use this app with different background themes in Word Chums. It gets boring having to always use the Sunny background. Can you update this still work with every background theme they offer please? ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2023-09-29* Gets me out of trouble when I have only a few letters left,like zxjq. Has helped me out many times,thanks for a great app **Developer response:** Glad to hear that! Thank you for your review :) ### 5/5 — Me *2023-06-20, version 5.3.0* I love this game! Fun and challenging ### 5/5 — A good mind sharpener. *2023-06-20, version 5.3.0* This is a great game. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-06-20, version 5.3.0* Helps pick a good location --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
