It was smoother before this update. ### 2/5 — Latest update makes game almost unplayable. *2026-07-26, version 2.11.0* Been playing this game for years often on. The recent update has made the keys horribly unresponsive. There are times when they don’t respond at all as you slide your finger across. Was a great game. ### 3/5 — Not as good since the update *2026-07-23, version 2.11.0* Great game but ever since the update it no longer holds the progress of your game. As soon as you close the app it resets to a new game. It never used to do this - you used to be able to come back and finish it at your leisure which was one of the things I loved the most. Please bring that capability back - it’s best when you’ve got the time to try to beat the dictionary over several game sessions… ### 2/5 — Unskippable ads *2026-06-25, version 2.11.0* Used to be fine, but now the ads are extremely intrusive and unskippable. They tease you with a fake close button but all it does is pause the video. This was the last straw before I had to leave a bad review. ### 4/5 — Simple, Easy! *2026-06-19, version 2.11.0* Been using it for years, now. Nothing fancy- just the fun game (‘boggle’) you were looking for WITHOUT: 1. a bunch of pop-ups/ limited-time games/‘daily reward’ type-stuff… Simple, fun, addictive & easy to use! ### 2/5 — No stop from ads *2026-05-02, version 2.11.0* Can’t skip ads until you’ve watched 87.65% of it. Do better ### 4/5 — Dictionary *2026-04-11, version 2.11.0* If you’re going to use SOME words from Spanish, use the entire Spanish Dictionary. None of this “couple of words here and there”. Same thing for other languages. And you also need to update the American version as well ### 4/5 — Good *2026-03-18, version 2.11.0* Good fun game but needs to keep track of your scores ### 4/5 — Not able to play! *2026-02-16, version 2.11.0* I have played this game a lot and really enjoy it. However, 2 days ago when I opened the app, all I got was a black screen. I hope this can be fixed ASAP! ### 4/5 — Great But Glitches *2026-01-20, version 2.11.0* I LOVE this game and play it obsessively. But after restarting for a third time, it ALWAYS goes to a black screen and doesn’t recover. I have to delete and re-download it each time. ### 3/5 — Good playing by yourself, bad playing with friends *2026-01-06, version 2.11.0* Playing with your friends does not work at all, it’s super buggy! You don’t even get the same board when playing when you manage to connect to the game after accepting the invite. Thought this would be a fun way to play with someone else I know but it just doesn’t work in a competitively like that. ### 4/5 — Challenging *2025-11-24* Love that it stimulates the brain but some of the ads are too long and you are not able to exit. Causes me to lose interest and move on to another interest ### 2/5 — Cannot stand number of ads *2025-11-11, version 2.11.0* Play a game….ad. Most times, ad is longer than game. Can’t do it. Too much. Know ads are necessary however, they could be shorter. ### 4/5 — Love but annoying music *2025-09-17, version 2.11.0* This is by far my favorite word game. The updates doesn’t allow me to toggle the music off anymore, and cuts off any music or music I have playing. It’s the only game I have that doesn’t give me the option to adjust sound haptics and that keeps it from a five star rating for me. ### 3/5 — Great game, but doesn’t work in Airplane Mode *2025-07-31, version 2.11.0* While in Airplane Mode, this game heats up my phone to an extreme degree, draining the battery rapidly as it does so. I’d love to play on the plane, but can’t when my phone gets too hot to touch! ### 4/5 — Simple and sweet *2025-05-13, version 2.11.0* The app is just the game and that’s it. No gimmicks, no extra features, no streaks, just the game. It plays one ad at the end of each game. The graphics could be improved but there really isn’t much to complain about. It’s a good game and app! ### 4/5 — Needs different levels for different ages… *2025-05-11, version 2.11.0* I love this game. It’s so relaxing and fun! But basically every level is for someone who memorized every volume of the dictionary. You have to quit once you run out of words you know of! This is so annoying! Please change this! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads make it stop *2026-01-09, version 2.11.0* I was excited to get this just to find every few minutes ads take over and the only way to get out of them is to close the whole app and re-open it which means you can’t really complete any games you start. ### 1/5 — Ads! *2026-01-02, version 2.11.0* I’ve enjoyed playing this for years and didn’t mind banner ads or whatever here and there - you can’t get something for nothing - but now I have to sit through interminable ads between games with tricky close buttons, even once they’ve played out - that lead to accidental clicks on links to garbage. So, I hardly ever play anymore. ### 1/5 — Gone down hill *2025-12-14, version 2.11.0* I used to LOVE this game. But everytime I finish a game, an advert opens up (and that’s ok) but I can’t seem to get out of it. It freezes up after the advert finishes. The X to close the advert doesn’t work. So I never get to see my results :( deleted the game ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-09-27, version 2.11.0* Not a “game” but a site to push ads. Even allowing ads to eat up your timed play. Ad is finished yet…si is your “game” . ### 1/5 — SharePlay is broken *2024-10-13, version 2.11.0* I’m in a long distance relationship and my girlfriend and I love playing boggle. Love that there are no power ups, just your mind. ***however! The SharePlay is broken and needs to be fixed. I would start a game on FaceTime and it’ll never connect the other person and when I make a word, the game crashes.*** ### 1/5 — WORD SEEK *2024-10-02, version 2.11.0* I liked the game of word seek. It is a fun game. Love betsy ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing!!! *2024-06-27, version 2.11.0* First time using it and it’s crashed, mid game, several times already. Really annoying! I couldn’t find a way to report this in the app either. ### 1/5 — Poor update *2024-04-09, version 2.11.0* Please can you do an update so the found words appear on the list in the bottom left corner. At present the game is unplayable!!! ### 1/5 — The worst game! *2024-02-09, version 2.10.0* The commercials never end!!! Therefore, no score is ever shown. Dumb and dumber!! I’ll never pay for no commercials bc this game is joke. Bye now. ### 1/5 — Blacks out every few times *2024-02-05, version 2.10.0* Has to be deleted and re downloaded cuz the screens blacks out when finishing a game! I will look for others ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Word Seek. HD *2026-08-10, version 2.11.0* Mustard. ### 5/5 — Word Seek. HD *2026-07-25, version 2.11.0* Marvellous. ### 5/5 — Calming relaxing game *2026-07-24, version 2.11.0* I have played this for a few years and it is a great relaxing game ### 5/5 — Word Seek. HD *2026-07-22, version 2.11.0* Tremendous Game. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-05-11, version 2.11.0* Great ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-21, version 2.11.0* Finally found a word search that is just like the original board game.No flashy graphics or sound effects.Minimal advertising. Just simply searching for words. ### 5/5 — Keeps my mind active! *2026-02-16, version 2.11.0* I’ve been playing this game for over 5 years and I love the challenge. It keeps my brain active and it’s fun! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2025-10-08, version 2.11.0* I really enjoy playing this game. ### 5/5 — Love love love - but, please help! *2025-05-29* I love this game! I’ve already said that. It’s a game against myself. I play the 5x5 and for an unlimited time. I like to see how many words I can get. But two things: 1 - I’ve just updated it and instead of getting my words on my iPad on the white box where they belong! they are behind the white box!!! Why is this? It needs to be fixed and NOW! I can’t see them. 2nd - I’ve asked this a very long time ago but I believe that when you’re using it on your phone, since there is no room for the words, we need to be able to get to a second page to see the words we’ve done. Please, this is my favorite game and I’m pleading with you for help. Thank you very much for your time and hopefully your help. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2025-02-23, version 2.11.0* Playing this game helps me whenever I need to relax, and it also helps me chill and get ready to sleep! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
