Would enjoy it more if an ad free version was available to purchase ### 4/5 — Fun game. A little too easy at first *2026-08-26, version 3.2.9* They fixed the ads issue ### 2/5 — Word Crossy *2026-08-12, version 3.2.9* This game is getting to be bad. Ads keeps freezing and the device has to be shut down and restarted. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Word Crossy *2026-08-09, version 3.2.9* As for Bubble Shooter Panda Pop freezes the game so I need to shut down my IPad and restart. Please fix! ### 3/5 — So many ads *2026-05-21, version 3.2.9* I have enjoyed this game for a long time, but the ads have become more frequent, much longer, and there is no way to turn off the sound. I have, therefore, decided to avoid this game. ### 3/5 — Ads after each level *2026-04-26, version 3.2.9* Very irritating. Another game ad will always pop up after u finish each level. Didn’t use to be this way. Waste of time ### 2/5 — Ads will not close *2026-04-08, version 3.2.9* I like this game. I also understand that they have to have some ads run between levels to keep it going. However, in the last few weeks they have starting showing ads that you cannot close out. There is no X to close the ad, not even after quite a while. The only way to get past the ad to continue the game, is to close the entire app and then re-open it. And this is not just one ad, but many of them. This is obviously super frustrating and significantly reduces the enjoyment of the game. They developers need to better monitor the ads and fix this issue. ### 1/5 — Disgusting Word *2026-02-09, version 3.2.9* Please eliminate the word ‘moke’ from your puzzle dictionary. In the US it is a pejorative for a black person. Very very offensive! ### 2/5 — Pop up ads *2026-02-04, version 3.2.9* They just added pop up ads that disrupt the game. I’m on potato stage so have played over 16,400 levels. NOW they do this? Weird. Also, my last game required the words “melic” and “bice.” Good luck guessing some of their vocabulary. Sometimes a word is allowed but not the plural and vice versa. Pretty arbitrary. But obvs I deal with it since I play every day. Boosters are easy to earn and are unfortunately necessary to finish some puzzles. ### 2/5 — Too many 50% off *2026-01-31, version 3.2.9* Bonus spin for daily prize is a joke. The last 5 times (yes I kept track) it was a 50% off as the prize. There are only 2 on the wheel yet every time it’s the same outcome. That’s some poor programming for a so called “random” prize. ### 4/5 — Good Game *2026-01-31, version 3.2.9* Like the game, it would be even better if there was a purchase option to remove the adds after each game… ### 1/5 — Great Game Ruined by Ads *2026-01-27, version 3.2.9* Loved the early days where you could rack up tons and tons of coins by solving the puzzles at your own pace. Then they nerfed coin growth. Then they added the ‘option’ of watching ads for coins on top of the regular ads, but at least those were on a different screen. Bruh, now I have a banner ad at the bottom of the PUZZLE and MENU that I can’t X out of. What a coincidence that as the ad-experience worsens a new ‘ad-free’ microtransaction becomes available in the shop. ### 4/5 — Enjoy with a couple of suggestions *2026-01-26, version 3.2.9* I love the game and play almost every day. I usually finish and then go back to play previous games. It would be nice to easily access them without having to scroll down over and over. When you tap on the level list to the left of the screen, you see all the levels but cannot pull them up. It would be really great if you could do that, as it would make it much easier to keep playing. The newest update is filled with lovely colors which makes it a beautiful app. With the newest update, the circles that cover each letter are a bit large. I make more mistakes now because they get overlapped and interconnected. At least on a phone screen where you don’t have a lot of room. Maybe make them a little smaller? Overall, though, I really do enjoy playing this game! ### 3/5 — ADS *2026-01-24, version 3.2.9* The game has a soothing music to play by, and I enjoy the game, BUT there is a long advertisement between every game! ### 3/5 — Fun Game… *2026-01-22, version 3.2.9* Been playing a long time. I don’t mind the ads after each round. However since the last update I now get ads while I am playing. That is too much. ### 2/5 — Ok *2026-01-20, version 3.2.9* It is ok for passing time or keeping your mind off of stress but the ads have gotten longer and more frequent so now it is frustrating to play ### 1/5 — Memory leak *2026-01-11, version 3.2.9* DO NOT INSTALL THIS GAME!! Use to be a good game. Now it has an awful memory leak. After a few minutes it becomes unplayable and kills your battery. They ask me for further info. Play the game DEV team! You have an awful memory leak! The devices RAM is used up and not released. You know basic stuff 🙄 now they have an ad that tries to spam dial a phone number. Their developers are out lunch. They also use words that aren’t real words. The latest being “Botnets” which they said their resource “wordnik” supplied. Go to wordnik, they say it isn’t a word ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pop up ads *2026-08-25, version 3.2.9* Update: the pop up ads got worse somehow. I put my phone down out of reach in the middle of a game. Next I look at my screen, a website just loaded itself. No no no. Horrible. They just added pop up ads that disrupt the game. I’m on potato stage so have played over 16,400 levels. NOW they do this? Weird. Also, my last game required the words “melic” and “bice.” Good luck guessing some of their vocabulary. Sometimes a word is allowed but not the plural and vice versa. Pretty arbitrary. But obvs I deal with it since I play every day. Boosters are easy to earn and are unfortunately necessary to finish some puzzles. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2026-07-06, version 3.2.9* So tired of this game it keeps freezing… ### 1/5 — 6 years playing level 8122 *2026-06-15, version 3.2.9* Why have you put this terrible ad scam into this game you need to remove it or you will lose thousands of people. ### 1/5 — Charges for Purchases Not Made *2026-06-12, version 3.2.9* I have made purchases in this app such as screw packages, coins, etc. I have had to continuously request refunds from Apple because I keep getting charge for purchases I have not made. First, I have consideration to an error now, it’s just fraudulent. I will be filing a Consumer Protection Complaint and deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Great game *2026-05-19, version 3.2.9* Great game but your choice of underwear ads is disgraceful and disgusting. There are - I am sure - children playing this game and this isn’t something that they should be subjected to. ### 1/5 — Former lover *2026-05-11, version 3.2.9* I used to LOVE this game and it became a part of my morning routine each day. Since the newest update, all I get are ads. The ads take longer to get through than to finish one puzzle. I’m extremely disappointed. The least they could do is have an ad after like every 5 puzzles, not after every single one. ### 1/5 — Great game but *2026-04-22, version 3.2.9* Can’t get through to the customer service team need help have been blocked I can’t get through at all. Can someone help me please? Why did you block me? I’m having major problems with everything. Totally blocked me need help ### 1/5 — Great game but *2026-04-16, version 3.2.9* Can’t get through to the customer service team need help have been blocked I can’t get through at all. Can someone help me please? Why did you block me? I’m having major problems with everything. ### 1/5 — Giant red question mark *2026-03-18, version 3.2.9* The background has been a giant red blurry question mark for the last few days. I can’t figure out how to update the app and the help section is unhelpful. The background makes my head hurt! ### 1/5 — Problem Ads *2026-02-13, version 3.2.9* I’ve had this app for awhile but the ads on the bottom are now too close to the game letters. Twice yesterday I swiped and hit an ad for icore_vpn.net displaying a spam link that my apple phone had been hacked. Deleted the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game with legs! *2026-05-16, version 3.2.9* I have been playing Word Crossy for more than 7-8 years! It doesn’t really get old because you just can’t run out of words. Sometimes they can be obscure but, hey, you just learned a new one! It’s my daily ‘keep my brain sharp’ activity. Thanx for continuing to add new levels and interspersing hard and easy levels along the way. ### 5/5 — Great game but *2025-12-26, version 3.2.9* Can’t get through to the customer service team need help have been blocked ### 5/5 — 1.76gb ?!? *2025-12-11, version 3.2.9* Great game. But, taking up way too much space on my phone, for adds 🤷🏻 Bye 👋🏼 ### 5/5 — This game *2025-07-03, version 3.2.8* This game was one first game to load on my phone and I loved it. Leveled up high Was my favorite game While playing last night I got a pop up that said I was hacked so I deleted the game. Really liked this game and the added smaller games If I reload it I have start all over again ### 5/5 — BEST WORD GAME APP! *2025-06-18, version 3.2.7* I’ve been playing this word game since 2018. It’s my favorite word game ever. ### 5/5 — 12345 *2025-06-08, version 3.2.7* 12345 ### 5/5 — Crossy word *2025-04-27, version 3.2.6* Nice game ,I enjoy playing it. ### 5/5 — THE Best *2025-04-09* Been playing this game since 2016 it’s been 9 years since then. This is the best word puzzle game out there. No ads when playing offline. And works perfectly for me since I play before sleeping. Helps me sleep peacefully. ### 5/5 — Luv this game *2025-03-17, version 3.2.6* I enjoy this game. It's fun and challenging. I’m at level 95 on the side games and for some reason this game just keeps locking up and it’s horrible. I like this game so much I would just wish the bug fixes would be updated. ### 5/5 — The best *2025-02-09, version 3.2.6* This game makes me can’t wait until I get home to play it, it is so calm and relaxing if you don’t have this you should --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
