### 4/5 — Lots of potential

*2026-05-15*

I love the idea of this game and enjoy playing it however I often find that the coloured squares - green for correct and yellow for right line wrong place are not always correct. Which is a little frustrating.

### 4/5 — Needs the number waffle

*2026-04-19*

Great app, and super fun daily challenge. The only thing missing is the number waffle, then it would be a 5/5!

### 3/5 — Stackdown

*2026-04-11*

Your answer to clue “half a century or two score and ten” should be fifty, but the ‘I’ doesn’t appear in available letters, so how do you expect anyone to get the answer correct

### 4/5 — Levels

*2026-03-31*

I like the new feature of having levels, but it’s a bit harsh to drop more than one level if you don’t achieve or miss one day.

### 2/5 — Ad makes lots of noise!

*2025-10-07*

I like this game a lot but when begin to play in the app there is an advertisement that has really loud music!! I have tried turning it off in settings with no success. If I were to play Waffle on an airplane people would not be happy because it is so loud! I may have to abandon Waffle. I do not pay for apps. This is why I gave it 2 stars rather than 5.

**Developer response:** Oh gosh, I'm sorry about that. We have now reviewed our ad settings and turned off any with bothersome noise. I didn't realise we had to explicitly turn it off. Hopefully the waffling should now be a pleasant, quiet experience, as intended!

### 2/5 — Was one of my favorite games

*2025-09-30, version 1.3.2*

Ads ruined it. What a shame.

### 3/5 — Paid to support, now getting ads

*2025-07-21*

Played for a years without seeing ads and given money a few times but recently started getting ads despite this. Disappointing.

### 5/5 — Fixed

*2025-06-01*

Last update erased all of my archive stars, but I’m glad to see they have resolved the issue, and I’m back to playing again.  Game is easy and fun.  A lot of word repeats, but that’s to be expected.  Still fun for a quick play.

### 2/5 — Stats lost twice

*2025-05-31*

I had a great streak going and twice in a week the updates wiped them out, including the one that was supposed to fix the issues caused by the first update. Makes me hesitant to start playing again. 
Their dev team must be overwhelmed because I sent in a support request and haven't heard anything.

### 5/5 — Fun Game!

*2025-05-29, version 1.3.1*

If you enjoy playing word games then you’ll love this.

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2025-05-29*

Been playing the game for over a year.  It is a great challenging game and helps with vocabulary.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Advertises pornography

*2025-12-06*

I deleted this app because it advertises using pornographic content.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-08*

This was a fun game but they now autoplay loud ads randomly as you play which is both startling and startlingly obnoxious. 

If you have AirPods in, expect to get your ears blown out and if you try to play while your partner is sleeping expect to wake them up. 

It’s a bummer, but along with everyone else, I will be deleting the app.

**Developer response:** Oh gosh, I'm sorry about that. We have now reviewed our ad settings and turned off any with bothersome noise. I didn't realise we had to explicitly turn it off. Hopefully the waffling should now be a pleasant, quiet experience, as intended!

### 1/5 — Deleted due to ads with music

*2025-09-26, version 1.3.2*

Loved this game but then out of the blue, an ad with loud music starts blaring. Nope. I’m done.

### 1/5 — I lost all progress

*2025-05-28*

I’ve been playing the waffle for roughly the past 3 or 3.5 years. It updated yesterday and now all of my progress is gone. I had a 50% five star rating on the overall puzzles and I had completed all of the puzzles. I’m disappointed. Do better.

### 1/5 — Lost day

*2025-05-28, version 1.3*

I’ve been playing this game for several months.  As of today, my data is gone.

### 1/5 — Problem with the latest update

*2025-05-28*

I have always loved this game but since the latest update I have lost all my archive history. Hope you can fix this!

### 1/5 — Lost my entire streak

*2025-05-28*

Why did my app go blank 
I have played for years now and one glitch from ur side and I lost my entire streak went to zero .. Plzz look in to the matter

### 1/5 — All Stats Gone

*2025-05-27*

I guess the update wiped stats out.  I know a few other people that had this. Guess it’s time to quit.

### 1/5 — archive reset!

*2025-05-27*

loved it until my archive of completed waffles completely reset today.

### 1/5 — Fix It

*2025-05-27, version 1.3*

Most recent upgrade reset streak and zeroed out stats - fix it!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this puzzle

*2026-07-11*

I do this puzzle every day. Keeps me coming back. 

One things for the devs - the online link to onewordsearch is currently just loading a blank screen.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-06-27*

I really enjoy this app especially the deluxe and the new number game. I hope it will be possible to access games I’ve missed through the archive soon

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-23*

Plenty of levels with no purchase or waiting and no forced ads that prevent gameplay, everything that’s to be loved about a mobile game

### 5/5 — Don’t usually say this

*2026-04-11*

This game is a fire thumbs up for me challenging and fun with the yummy after taste this beats an ordinary donut by far

### 5/5 — The best game app

*2026-01-16*

This has not only the best game but multiple games with NEVER an ad. You could play games all day! And it’s fun as well as challenging!

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2025-10-30*

I love that you can go to the archives and play previous games. It really helps new players to get a feel for the game and the type of words used.

### 5/5 — One word search

*2025-10-13*

Dare I say it but I like this better than waffle until 5 days ago when my stats reset themselves. Not fair!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-09-20*

Love playing this every morning and the waffle word definitions always make me smile.

### 5/5 — The ONLY puzzle I play

*2025-09-18*

The perfect puzzle to keep your brain sharp, not entirely based on guesswork  like some other popular games. Try once and you’ll be a fan for life. Stimulating, fun and informative and free. The gold standard for puzzles.

### 5/5 — amazing!

*2025-07-02, version 1.3.1*

an addictive game with clean graphics and cute visuals
