### 3/5 — Progress TOO SLOW; not really synchronized across devices

*2026-08-10, version 2.4.3*

This is the game that I hate to love!  It seems the developers had a lot of ideas, and threw them at the wall to see what would stick, then, kept them all!  I like the crossword part, a lot, but you work on them to “earn 3 puzzle pieces.  I would like to be able to choose the CATAGORY of picture puzzles.  I’m sick of boring landmarks.  When I choose another catagory, it never seems to apply. I am glad to see that we can turn OFF the landmark section altogether.  The “mood” back ground changes make it interesting, I suppose.  I would just like to solve those pictures puzzles faster, without PURCHASES!
      This app synchronizes across devices on the LOWEST LEVEL!  Any progress made on my favorite device is LOST if I use the other!  That makes no sense to me.

### 4/5 — Annoying ads

*2026-06-21, version 2.4.2*

Dropped a star for the Adverts after every game. The game itself is really addictive and great to spend some time on. Ads are annoying.

### 4/5 — Entertainment

*2026-06-20, version 2.4.2*

Great game best i have tried short ads

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-06-01, version 2.4.0*

I’ve really been enjoying this game but the repetition of clues, the innumerable (!) number of words ending in ABLE or ING, it’s getting ridiculous. They could change the clue to many other options for the same word. It’s only the ever-changing mosaics that keeps me going! Oh and the three letter words that are already solved 🙄

### 5/5 — Help!

*2026-04-15, version 2.4.0*

I subscribed but then your app  inadvertently got deleted . When I downloaded it again, it says I have to pay to go ad free..I’ve already paid $6.99..Plse advise. Thank you

### 2/5 — Two

*2026-04-14, version 2.4.0*

To many ads

### 5/5 — Enjoyable!

*2026-04-02, version 2.4.0*

Great game with a crossword scramble plus jigsaw puzzle. Best part: Minimal advertising!

### 5/5 — Squorble two in one game

*2026-03-30, version 2.4.0*

Absolutely love this game! The words are great for brain exercise (helpful clues are available when needed) and the mosaic puzzles are a brilliant reward when all the grids are completed. And the occasional tournaments are great fun to do - when the challenge is to complete all the grids and puzzle in the least moves possible. The reward is loads of lovely game coins! This is the only game I play on my iPad and I love it!

### 5/5 — Fun "Crossword"

*2026-03-10, version 2.3.8*

It's challenging, informative, and sometimes funny. I wonder where the creators are from?

### 5/5 — Best brain game

You have to use your brain !

It’s a great game , I play it often

### 5/5 — Types of mosaics

*2026-02-18, version 2.3.8*

I wish this game would stop using mosaics of landscapes or animals.  Pictures of architecture, still life, or modern pictures would be more interesting

### 1/5 — Finished

*2026-07-18, version 2.4.3*

Can’t play anymore because it’s so repetitive with words and puzzles. And  annoying ads, which I paid to have removed

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-04, version 2.4.2*

What was once an excellent game is now ruined by ads that for some ridiculous reason you can’t close. I’ll delete and find a different game to play.

### 1/5 — Finished

*2026-04-23, version 2.4.0*

Can’t play anymore because it’s so repetitive with words and puzzles. And  annoying ads, which I paid to have removed

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-08, version 2.3.8*

Update 
They are desperate for update and won’t stop emailing me … yes I tried their way but they want me to spend money on the game I’m sorry I did not explain properly I knew the words and yet I could not get a key board to come up to get the letter to put in place of your coin … it’s only if you spend actual money you know in app purchases do you get app to act right !!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-04, version 2.3.8*

You can know the word bout it won’t allow you to know it !! Eventually you have to spend the money actual money to “ know “ the word !! It’s frustrating

### 1/5 — I really like the game, but………

*2026-01-04, version 2.3.7*

I really like this game, but the landmark solving takes forever.   I’m currently on the pyramid landmark on build 8. It taken me forever it seems to get this far.  I have to solve 116 levels to complete the landmark.  The thing is that it seems each puzzle requires me to complete AT LEAST 32 levels.  That means I will solve about four puzzles to complete the build.  And, the next landmark is only going to require MORE levels to complete a build and each build is going to require more levels to complete.  I haven’t done the math , but if my next landmark requires 8 builds and starts at 116 or more levels for build 1, I hate to think how many levels build 8 will take.   I really like the puzzles as they are cool to solve.  I am playing the 8 x 8 size puzzles. Don’t know yet if that will automatically move to 9 x 9 as I advance.  I think you need to give more than one puzzle piece for every level completed.  

Make solving levels more worthy of my time and I will gladly give this game a 5 star rating.

I lowered my rating to one star.  I just finished the pyramid landmark and started the next landmark.  It looks like the Parthenon.  It’s going to take me to complete 42 puzzles just to start building the landmark.  That’s about 1345 levels.  Then I hate to think how many levels to complete the build.  

I’m 75 years old and I don’t believe I’ll live long enough to finish all the landmarks.  This is crazy and NOT fun making no real progress.  I think I play pretty fast, but I can’t spend 8-10 hours a day playing.  What’s the point.  Too bad. No fun.

### 1/5 — Not the same

*2025-11-06, version 2.3.5*

Sqworble seems to have been dumbed down. I loved Sqworble and played it every day. I used to have to wait sometimes until I was able to get more coins for hints if I was stumped. And that was OK. My mind was challenged and I learned new words. But now I have almost 1000 coins and half the words I can solve even without looking at the definition.

### 1/5 — Oops

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.2*

A Japanese sword is a “Katana” not a “Catan”.

### 1/5 — Repetitive

*2025-04-17, version 2.2.5*

Why do the questions and jigsaws keep repeating over and over again. Why aren’t there some new ones

### 1/5 — Hints are bad

*2024-07-14, version 2.0.2*

Most of the hints do not make sense to solve the puzzle.  I purchased a pack but it does not put it into effect.  Waste of money.   Great concept but needs lots of work.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-30, version 2.4.0*

Good game  for increasing one’s vocabulary and keeping the mind active in a enjoyable way

### 5/5 — SQworble

*2026-05-21, version 2.4.0*

I enjoy having the two challenges - crossword and jigsaw puzzles.  Sometimes however the jigsaw is just not solvable without the “helper” because the phone screen is small. Jigsaws with large areas of dark color are not good for the small screen

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2026-05-17, version 2.4.0*

Great game i play everyday love it,

### 5/5 — Help!

*2026-04-19, version 2.4.0*

You replied; go to settings to reinstate the game , but where are settings?

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-04-17, version 2.4.0*

Fun and challenging at the same time.  I really like it.
