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). ### 3/5 — Only works on older iPads *2020-08-03, version 2.4* I have always liked this game but ever since the latest iOS came out it crashes after you open the ap and press play. It is too bad because it was a fun ap. ### 3/5 — Not working *2020-03-24, version 2.4* I used to play this on my iPod in 2014 and later downloaded on my iPhone around 2016.

So i reinstalled it and still did the same thing.. I loved this game! Wish you would get it fixed! Been doing this for weeks. ### 1/5 — Has been crashing since iOS 13 *2019-12-31, version 2.4* Guess developers fell asleep and let this app crash and burn. Sad. ### 1/5 — Not working anymore *2019-11-22, version 2.4* I like this one but i haven't play it for a long time and now it won't even open up! ### 1/5 — Game keeps shutting off *2019-11-02, version 2.4* The game shuts off every time I push the “play” button ### 1/5 — Palmmie sus *2019-10-21, version 2.4* This is my favorite game, but now it won’t open on my iPhone. Is there a reason why??!! I would like to keep this app. as it’s fun and challenging. Please fix it!! ### 1/5 — No new levels for years with coins left over *2019-10-12, version 2.4* I love this game however, I’ve been trying and trying to get more levels for several years and can’t and I have over 5,000 coins just sitting there. Have w-mauled this company several times and nothing changes. ### 1/5 — No pictures after a short time of app use *2019-04-12, version 2.4* So loaded this this game app twice— and ended up stuck with word puzzle with no pictures. Reloaded app - thinking a one time problem. It worked okay for about 12 puzzles and again - stuck at no pictures.. software issues. Don’t get this app. ### 3/5 — Ran out of words *2017-07-02, version 2.3* Was my favorite app until it ran out of words:-(.

Please fix this. ### 1/5 — No Updates *2022-05-27, version 2.4* 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, version 2.4* The first time I played this game it was good in the first round.

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. ### 1/5 — I want to play *2020-06-18, version 2.4* I used to have this game and i played it and i deleted it for a while but i got it back and now i open the app fine but whenever i hit the play button the app just closes down and goes back to the home screen, and I’ve tried deleting it and getting it again, powering off my phone, and i checked to make sure i have storage, but i still am unable to play the game. help? ### 1/5 — Problem *2020-06-04, version 2.4* Every time I press “play” the app closes. ### 1/5 — App shuts down *2020-05-20, version 2.4* App keeps shutting down every time I click on it please please fix the game I like this game it didn’t do this when I had the 7+ and now I have the 11 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What’s the word *2020-12-20, version 2.4* If you are unable to figure out a word.
