Fingers crossed! ### 5/5 — Game is not loading I can’t play it why? *2025-12-15* Game won’t start ### 1/5 — Was good, now it’s dead *2025-11-02, version 4.4* This app is fun when it was working, but now you can’t sign in or reach support. I think it’s dead now. It should be removed from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Terrible Changes, no warning *2025-11-02, version 4.4* Update: this app should be taken off the App Store. Doesn’t seem like they’re still in business. Not responding to inquiries. Why did you push back all of the prize drawing dates? And then suddenly change the leaderboard to just coins and no cash. Used to like, but changes are horrific. On the bright side, I guess I won’t spend as much time on the app now so I can do other things lol ### 1/5 — Account Deleted without notice, Cannot Login like others *2025-11-02* This app is a rip off, my entire account got deleted without notice. Cannot login in the app anymore, account does not exist and cannot even reset the password. I even tried Google Login and just gets stuck infinitely. Looks like this company shutdown or turned scam. I saw other people here having the same problem. Be warned! Really disgusting practices any company that does these kinds of things. ### 1/5 — I tried to sign in *2025-11-01, version 4.4* I signed in, but it still shows “sign in”. ### 1/5 — Can no longer log in and receive no feedback from support *2025-10-31, version 4.4* Update: can’t tell if the app even works anymore. Haven’t been able to log in for over a week no matter what I’ve tried; password reset won’t work. Sent a message to support days ago with no response. Assuming the app is going defunct. **** I’ve been using this app for months now and I like the ability to earn tokens in various ways and enter the giveaways. Haven’t won any of the giveaways yet but many reviewers say that have it’s legit, so I assume I just haven’t been lucky enough yet. It’s still fun to use. However, there are a few minor issues with the app. For instance- about a month ago they introduced a weekly arcade contest where the top scoring players win cash. It’s fun and an exciting way to engage in the app and they really paid out the cash prizes. I figured it might not be a long lasting and sustainable thing, and sure enough, they seemed to have changed the contest from cash prizes to token prizes. The only issue I have with this is they changed it mid week and in the middle of an ongoing contest with no warning. This doesn’t seem fair to those who spent time playing all week thinking they were competing for a cash prize that now suddenly doesn’t exist. There’s no effective notification system in the app to let you know of changes and what they are. I think a better way to handle that would have been to maybe lower the cash prizes over the course of time instead of going from a $500 prize pool to nothing in an instant. There also should have been an advance notification this was happening and should have come at the start of a new contest cycle. They also introduced a daily challenge and then it too seemed to be gone within a day. With sudden changes like this, it makes the app seem unreliable and volatile. There could also be better notification and communication systems within the app itself. A weekly or daily update board or mail system, a chat support area. Things like this. Another minor issue is that it’s hard to see the amount of tokens you’ve earned and the giveaways you’ve entered. There is a tab for it in the app, but half the time it doesn’t seem to work for me. The earned tokens area is often empty when I have earned things and things will appear and disappear from there. When I check the giveaways entered tab, it’s not organized or clear as well as it could be, and when I see my number of entries for things, those numbers don’t always seem consistent and change. My entries for one thing went from 860 to 870 to 830 to 800 in the span of me checking over the course of an hour… and I had entered more times, only to see the numbers on this jump both up and then down. So I’m not sure if all my entries are even being counted and registered correctly. I would hate to be using tokens on what I think are entries, but then they’re not even registered. These are aspects I feel could be improved, but other than that it’s a generally fun and good app. ### 1/5 — Blocks login and erases content *2025-10-27* I was loving this app UNTIL one random day after I had spent months getting over 150,000 coins and reaching the ruby level it blocks me out and I can’t log back in. I update the app and my phone but no luck. Very disappointing. Wouldn’t recommend unless this can be fixed. NOT WORTH THE RISK! ### 1/5 — Can’t type in and signed in wave *2025-10-10* Since when iOS 26 update on that app has been disappointing and can’t bearing type to sign in on the app fix this issue. Never won any of prize once yet. ## Frequently asked questions about Wave ### What is Wave: Sweepstakes Arcade?
