This is getting very old and very disheartening. I will stop playing this game, which unfortunate is a very fun game. ### 3/5 — Addicting but now broken *2025-08-17, version 1.356.0* I'm not normally a game type person, but I've been playing this every day for about 5 years. It's the modern equivalent to the daily crossword puzzle my father did. I played to completion of highest level once. The app crashes after a few months. Only fix is to delete app, load it again and start from scratch. Then play the beginner puzzles, and after a while it will prompt “log in with Apple ID” and you go to where you were yesterday. ### 4/5 — Wordtrek *2025-08-01, version 1.356.0* Not loading Iv had this for years now it’s not loading now it’s not loading again ### 3/5 — Fed up!!! *2025-04-09, version 1.356.0* Contacted them via the app about not being able to open the daily puzzles and never heard back from them. Now when I click on the app it opens and immediately closes. Tried to send this info through a previous “response” showing that they rec’d my first communication and nothing. Love doing the daily puzzles . 4/6/25 here we go again started all over and now it’s won’t open again. So frustrating. ### 3/5 — Addicting but now broken *2025-02-28* I'm not normally a game type person, but I've been playing this every day for about 5 years. It's the modern equivalent to the daily crossword puzzle my father did. I played to completion of highest level once. The app crashes after a few months. Only fix is to delete app, load it again and start from scratch. Then play the beginner puzzles, and after a while it will prompt “log in with Apple ID” and you go to where you were yesterday. Note: daily puzzles ended with 2024, and now it crashes and requires delete/reinstall/start over often. Consider it dead/abandonned. ### 3/5 — Frustrated *2025-02-20, version 1.356.0* Really enjoy this game until a few weeks ago. Now I can't play the daily game and this morning it won't load at all. Still waiting for a response from the technical team. ### 4/5 — Addicting *2025-02-20* I'm not normally a game type person, but I've been playing this every day for about 5 years.

Every time I get close to the final level the game freezes up and will not load. The last time this happened I deleted the game and reinstalled it. It worked fine but I lost all my progress. I wish someone could tell me why this happens. ### 3/5 — Great game but… *2025-01-26, version 1.356.0* Kept getting error messages so deleted and reinstalled. Lost everything and I was way up there in levels 😭 ### 2/5 — Daily quest doesn’t work *2025-01-23, version 1.356.0* Played for years but it has just frozen me out again I have previously deleted and re downloaded but then I lose my progress- word trek sort it out ! Reloaded again and now the daily quest doesn’t work!!!! ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-01-21, version 1.356.0* This is a great game to keep you thinking and on your toes. ### 3/5 — Fed up!!! *2025-01-20, version 1.356.0* Contacted them via the app about not being able to open the daily puzzles and never heard back from them.

It only lets me play for about 2 months and then won’t work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App has become unusable *2025-12-11, version 1.356.0* Thank you for not responding to 2 queries. As the app now won’t work at all - I get a black screen on opening it - I’ve deleted it. It WAS a great app when I had it before - but not this time round. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-11-21, version 1.356.0* I’ve downloaded this game three times it crashes every few months ### 1/5 — Crashed again *2025-03-11, version 1.356.0* Great game, wonderfully challenging. But past a certain level, the app just stops loading. I tried updating, resetting, restarting - nope, no luck, no help, stuck. The same happened a while ago and I was then keen enough to delete the app and restart all over again from low levels up. But it just crashed again, just as it became interesting again. Shame. Deleted. Never again. The end. ### 1/5 — It stops *2025-01-19, version 1.356.0* I was at the end of the game, finished, just playing the daily quest and now I can’t get it. It says “unable to complete action” and then they told me to update, which I can’t. I was addicted to this game and recommended it to everyone but now it’s just a piece of trash that won’t work ### 1/5 — “Unable to complete this action” - for MONTHS *2025-01-19, version 1.356.0* I’m deleting this game until the developers put the users first instead of themselves. If I can’t “complete the action” then give me my money back😡 ### 1/5 — Daily quest not working *2025-01-18, version 1.356.0* I have not been able to play the daily quest since a January 1st I have contact the site and it has not been fixed. I deleted and downloaded the app twice and it didn’t help. Please fix. I have played for several years and this is disappointing ### 1/5 — Word Trek *2025-01-17, version 1.356.0* Do no bother downloading this as it does not work and hasn’t done so for over a week ### 1/5 — Broken App so time to delete. *2025-01-14, version 1.356.0* After 9 years it’s time to delete the App. It’s not been working for a while now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be fixed. Thanks but bye! ### 1/5 — Daily puzzles not work *2025-01-11, version 1.356.0* Is the daily puzzle going to get fixed? ### 1/5 — Does not work anymore *2025-01-09, version 1.356.0* This used to be good it has major issues now and they don’t seem to care! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Words *2026-01-30, version 1.356.0* This is one of the most challenging word games I have ever played ### 5/5 — Makes me think *2025-12-14, version 1.356.0* I have found this to be one of the best war games, challenging, and make me stop and think ### 5/5 — Love It *2025-08-24, version 1.356.0* I love this game but after I play it several times I lose it. Fails to open. Can you tell me why or how to continue playing please? Thank you ### 5/5 — Good *2025-07-09, version 1.356.0* Amazing game ### 5/5 — Great mind stretching *2025-05-03, version 1.356.0* Once you get past the very easy beginning this is a great mind stretcher! And very few ads. It gets tougher so I have never got to the end yet. If you redownload it, it starts all over. ### 5/5 — Great for critical thinking *2025-04-17, version 1.356.0* I love this game. All word games catch my eye but this one keeps my attention.
