Mostly awesome!!

I REALLY like that it does not interrupt my play with ads or pushes for in-app purchases. But it’s extremely frustrating when a word the game said “was not on the list” appears the next day in my list of missed words!!

Update is much better now.

Took me a while to get used to the new update but now I can see that it’s much better. It no longer deletes all my words.
I really like the hints section that allows you to see how many words are left and the first few letters.
Well thought out and much improved game play. Thank you.

Fun but pay to win

The game is really fun and a good challenge but you need to get premium to pretty much do anything you can’t even play a puzzle from two weeks ago but like I said the rest of the game is really good

Keeps Erasing History

A good challenge, unfortunately it keeps erasing all your previous data, often times on the day you are playing.

Infuriating

I don’t actually want to download another app on my phone, so I’ve been trying to play the web-based game. But in recent days, it has been impossible. Whenever I try to play and hit buttons (letters or delete or enter, etc.), it won’t accept it but will instead open another tab for a Best Buy ad. I literally can’t play the game.

Bad updates-Game no longer fun

I LOVED the previous version. I couldn’t wait to play it everyday. The updates you just made have ruined the game for me. So much so that I deleted the app and called it a day. The new version is harder to use and the letter board looks somewhat childish. I am truly disappointed with the updates and heartbroken that I no longer have my favorite game to play. The old version gets 5 stars, but sadly the new version only gets 1. ☹️

Bad Update

My wife and I have played daily for the past couple of years. My biggest issue with the update is it not showing how many words you have found vs how many total words, never have cared about points which is now all you see. Really bad decision to drop the word count, I would bet 90% of players use word count and you have disappointed that user base.

Some bugs but still great

Almost perfect BUT like other reviews said they really need to standardize the list of words for each day. Then there is a bug where you go to watch the ad for more hints, it starts, and then crashes to “ad unavailable” then it freezes the screen. Other than that, it’s really fun and the UI update looks really good.

I’m done!

To big of a change…I loved playing SpellBee, but you have ruined it…I shall not play again!!!!!

Good game

Good game. Want to upgrade to premium but cant for some reason. Imselect upgrade for 1 year and press enter then nothing happens. Imdomt know why.

Hate the update

Played this game with my family for a year. Loved it. We hate the update. It’s slow. The word list is small. The hints change the game. Very disappointed. I think we are done with it. I want the old version back

Rubbish

Rubbish since it’s been updated, I’m deleting it.

Ruined by 1.4.1 update

Latest update has ruined this game, previously a favourite daily challenge. Irritating sounds, can’t see which words I didn’t get from yesterday, points instead of word count. Today has presented same letters as yesterday. Deleting this one.

Fix it

Not working right
Keeps hanging up

Dr

Don’t like the change of format, really bad. Need to delete app.

New update terrible

July 29 update is terrible! First it no longer shows you how many words you need. It only shows points which is a giant change and not helpful. It want to know how many words I’m missing still. Next, if you want to watch an ad for more hints, the entire app freezes, and it says no ad available and you have to close the app and restart. The letter grid is too big and too slow and when you try a word there is a lag for whether or not there the word is valid. It hangs too long and stays in your way before you can type the next word. Please put the old version back. It was way way way better. I never understood how developers change apps without asking for some feedback first.

Updated App

Why would you change the app so drastically??? It’s awful. You can’t see how many words you have gotten and still need. I only see the point total. Terrible decision to change.

Used to be great until today

My wife and I challenged each other daily in an 8 minute timed game. Until today it was easy to play, easy to see, and easy to see how many words were possible. The new changes are bad
