### 4/5 — Great

*2026-06-01, version 3.5*

Love it, but need more word sun

### 4/5 — Mostly good

*2026-05-30, version 3.5*

There are many things about this game i like. No ads is a big one. It’s attractive. The thing I don’t like is that they use names of places you’ve never heard of. These are very hard to guess with odd spellings. I like to relax when I’m playing. I don’t like it to be stressful.

### 4/5 — Tough…but FUN

*2026-05-19, version 3.5*

Take your time getting used to the way the various game options “switch”! Yes…you will see “repetition”…but don’t let it fool you. Fun games!

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-05-02, version 3.5*

Games are good but they don’t change up the themes or games that much. And the rewards are not good.

### 3/5 — Free but Tedious

*2026-03-02, version 3.5*

Good games for Free. But too many are tedious like Word Search, too many of those games & many with no clues or subject matter.

### 4/5 — Word Games

*2026-02-13, version 3.5*

Games are fun, easy at times, but provides an adequate stimulus for the mind.

### 5/5 — New favorite

*2026-01-21, version 3.5*

I was surprised (in a good way) with several things. There were no ads, there are several games with words, hints aren’t there unless you pay with coins you accumulate and I have so many yet rarely use. Exceedingly engaged! 😀

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME!

*2026-01-19, version 3.5*

This game is very enjoyable. Not only because there’s no timer, but also because there are a variety of word game available to play, keeping things from getting boring.
I could play this game for 2 hours without becoming bored by the repetition, because there’s no repetition.
I hope this game remains the same through any updates that occur.
I’ve seen a lot of games destroyed by unwise & illogical updates.
This word game is a winner as it stands now!

### 4/5 — Okay

*2026-01-11, version 3.5*

Pretty good. Needs directions. A few games took awhile to figure out. I also would like to know how many games need to be done to earn points.

### 5/5 — Sf76

### 5/5 — GREAT WORD GAME COLLECTION

*2025-12-02, version 3.5*

### 5/5 — Learning

*2025-10-26, version 3.5*

It took me a while to get into the swing of it but it is fun and a learning experience to do. While also keeping my old brain working.

*2025-10-26, version 3.5*

Fun

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2025-10-08, version 3.5*

I could play this game all the time. Not only is it fun but it challenges me at the same time with the levels you can choose from in n each puzzle.

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-09-21, version 3.5*

The beginning levels for some games are too easy, and some games as you progress get very hard.

If you want a game that has a good variety and is mildly challenging then this is the game for you

### 1/5 — Hello? Hello? Anyone home?!

*2025-10-21, version 3.5*

UPDATED UPDATE: be warned the last update was 3 years ago: watch your security levels closely!!! I think the creator is not there anymore. I just deleted the game and reinstalled it just to play it. But, seriously; highly doubt there’s someone reading these! Oooooh well! Fun while it lasted! See ya on the flip side!

### 1/5 — Redacted

*2025-01-13, version 3.5*

I bit simple

### 1/5 — New format

*2021-12-26, version 3.5*

I loved the old format where I could choose which of the games I wanted to play at any given time.  I actually went to limits on choices. I put in cloud and later reopened the game and started over. I dislike the new format so much I deleted game from screen. I will check from time to time to see if you have returned to a semblance of the old other. Otherwise I won’t be playing.

### 1/5 — Decent Game but Bit But

*2021-04-07, version 3.4*

Playing levels notice incorrect spellings and answers perhaps on a knowledge and spelling game check your game and answers . An instance Tokyo is not a country !! So don’t put in a quiz with Greece , Italy and Egypt. On that subject in another country related one Chile is not spelt Chili ( incorrect for country which it was included in Word Heap ) but also incorrect for informal code. So a knowledge spelling game with incorrect answers and misspelt words ..... hmmm

### 1/5 — Ben

*2020-03-17, version 3.1*

Can only play word search on easy level due to the app freezing on all other levels.

### 1/5 — New version

*2020-02-08, version 3.1*

Hangs often

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2017-06-15, version 1.6*

Doesn't even work

### 1/5 — What is wrong?

*2017-04-05, version 1.2*

I just purchased another word search from the App Store and it won't open. It does open for less than a second then goes black. I've tried deleting and re-installing, but the same thing happens. Please help. Thank you.

This is the fourth time I have contacted you re this App. When are you going to either fix this problem, refund my payment or at least contact me. 
Thank you.

### 1/5 — Bof

### 5/5 — Word games

*2026-05-20, version 3.5*

Challenging word games without the ads! Great way to pass the time.

### 5/5 — Never Boring

*2026-05-17, version 3.5*

I truly enjoy this game. Its variety keeps me going. One of the few word games that captured my attention.

### 5/5 — Challenging & Diverse

*2026-04-20, version 3.5*

Once you’ve progressed beyond entry levels, this game can be challenging but not to the point of frustration. It’s diverse enough to keep you interested and can be both relaxing and fun to play.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-04-04, version 3.5*

Helping with my memory

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2026-03-17, version 3.5*

I love it. It gets hard sometimes but it makes me stop and think a lot harder! Good for the Brain...

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-03-02, version 3.5*

Great games

### 5/5 — fun

*2026-02-28, version 3.5*

this game is fun and challenging.

### 5/5 — Excellent games

*2026-02-17, version 3.5*

Relaxing and yet uses your mind. It’s free to play unless you want to support the creator (which I recommend) and THEY DON’T COLLECT ANY Of YOUR INFORMATION! It’s hard to find any app these days that doesn’t try to find out everything they can about you so they can sell it to companies like Alphabet (Google) and Meta (Facebook). Kudos to the creators!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-02-09, version 3.5*

Really like this game.  Just wish it wouldn’t run out of levels

### 5/5 — Word recall

*2026-01-29, version 3.5*

Game that keeps you thinking.
