### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-11*

Tried to play but would load every time I press play it shuts down

### 1/5 — Sheesh

*2023-03-26, version 2.4*

Every time I open the app I crashes. I love this game not this foolishness. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — No Updates

*2022-05-27*

I really liked this game but apparently the developers have stopped updating it and it will no longer work with iOS.

### 1/5 — Keeps kicking me out

*2022-05-01*

The first time I played this game it was good in the first round. But when I wrote “play” it just kicked me out I joined like a million times and it just keeps kicking me out FIX THIS ASAP

### 2/5 — Hasn’t worked since I got my iPhone 11 Pro last year

*2021-08-15*

Doesn’t seem to work in latest iOS!

### 3/5 — App Keeps Crashing

*2021-04-02, version 2.4*

I used to play this game all the time when I was in high school (2013-2014). I decided to download it again for memories sake, and to pass the time by, but every time I click play, the app crashes on me. Apparently this app hasn’t been updated in two years.

I don’t know if the developers just up & quit on this app, or if I’m even wasting my time even writing this review, but I surely hope this app gets an update to match the current iOS version & more added words, as it seems the words are all the same from so many years ago (according to other reviews).

### 1/5 — What’s the word game

*2021-01-22, version 2.4*

I like to try new puzzles

### 5/5 — What’s the word

*2020-12-20*

If you are unable to figure out a word. You are stuck. It would be nice if you could skip and go to the next puzzle ... then come back later

### 1/5 — No Longer Works on iPad

*2020-12-02, version 2.4*

What a shame.

### 1/5 — Crashes and Won’t Play

*2020-11-21*

With the last update being two years ago, it seems this is incompatible with more recent iOS builds. It ran fine on 12.4 on my old phone just recently (as I put off updating till last week when it then tanked my battery and reminded me why I had never updated), and now it won’t run on my new phone on 14.1. From the other reviews, it likely disagreed with iOS 13 as well. Don’t bother to download this game unless your updates are way behind like mine were.
