Needs better daily rewards ### 1/5 — Nope *2018-08-26, version 1.0.5* Too many ads. Too many interruptions. It gets tedious very quickly. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2018-06-22, version 1.0.5* My game is stuck on an ad. There’s no tech support. Fun game but I don’t want to reload and start all over. ### 1/5 — Word Ranch *2017-06-13, version 1.0.5* I like play this, but on 4 occasions, the WISHING WELL DID NOT add my coins, when it had filled up. At 1st, I thought I may have been mistaken, but I wrote down the #of coins I had than taped the well & screen went to next level & No coins were added 😡 Welllll it just happened again. I was to get 40 coins & I got NONE. ### 2/5 — 2 Star for now as I haven’t played it yet but *2018-07-27, version 1.0.5* I will change it after playing. PLEASE BRING RAMCH RUSH 1&2 BACK!!!! PLEASE lol that game is one of the original iOS games like Sally’s Spa ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2018-04-17, version 1.0.5* Uninstalled after 10 mins because 30 second length ads every 4 mins is ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Fun but too expensive *2017-08-10* I bought the $1.99 deal and that stopped the ads. I thought that was a good deal. However earning money is next to impossible. Every day you get a chance to earn money...but you have a barn with 3 doors that have 3 differs amounts...like $5, $10, &$40. The doors switch places rapidly and you pick one. That is fine but the amount if you choose one of the 2 lower amount, it isn't even enough to buy a hint. To build your farm takes forever...then you add something like a swing. My biggest objection is that words just keep getting longer...no chance to refresh or earn some "easy" money. I also don't understand why some words are accepted but go into the secret word well...it is great to earn these extra points, but again I just earned 60 words and gained about $30. Don't be so cheap! I am already at 194 and have hardly built my farm. I doubt I will be playing this much longer because I want to enjoy some progress not have to buy some progress. ### 2/5 — Fix the music and then we'll talk... *2017-06-05, version 1.0.4* Game is fun enough but it is extremely irritating that the music turns back on after an ad plays...if you then go back to the settings to turn it off again, guess what happens? Another ad launches and we do it all again! I won't be playing again until they fix this annoying problem!! ### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE!! *2023-09-20, version 1.0.5* PLEASE UPDATE! This hasn’t been updated in 6 years!!! PLEASE UPDATE ### 3/5 — Add more levels *2020-01-13, version 1.0.5* Please update to add more levels. Finished game and waiting for the “coming soon” levels to appear.... still waiting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best *2025-02-09, version 1.0.5* Word Ranch is The best online and the most creative artistically! ### 5/5 — Word ranch *2024-12-29, version 1.0.5* A great word game .i really enjoying playing ### 5/5 — Love *2024-07-26, version 1.0.5* Fun game Love the game ### 5/5 — Word.
