### 3/5 — Good game but doesn’t save your progress

*2023-11-01, version 4.1*

I have only given it 3 stars because of the following reasons I have managed to reach level 9 in one sitting,but as soon as you leave the app it resets to level 1 again,very frustrating I bought the ad free version thinking that the issue would be resolved,but it made no difference 
It’s a challenging game and is frustrating to say the least. if this was sorted it would be 5 stars a fab game 
Please sort it out

### 4/5 — Please allow swiping

*2022-08-27*

This game would be perfect if swipe mode was available please :)

### 1/5 — ☹️

*2020-11-22*

I’ve been looking for a game like Bookworm, so was glad to see this one, but it won’t let you spell words in correct letter order. And sometimes you can’t even put all the letters in at all. Nice idea for a game though

### 5/5 — Ads kick you to start

*2020-05-12*

Love it, except when ads kick you back to the start. It always happens with CrossInstall ads.

### 1/5 — New

*2012-10-10*

Same here, one game, then crash! This isn't a good beginning for a new iPad user.

### 3/5 — Great but needs fix

*2012-09-25*

Loved it but then crashed after restart.  Fix and it will fly in popularity.

### 1/5 — Good game but crashes

*2012-09-17, version 2.2*

This is a very good game, but sadly once you leave the app I couldn't get back in. I reinstalled it and it did it again. Please sort out the error as I got addicted to the game.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2012-09-15, version 2.2*

Would be ok if you could actually play it, managed it once and won't let me back in. Deleted
