It’s so obnoxious. Seems to be a well done game, but if you’re going to make it free, actually let people play for a bit. I deleted it, will fund something else less pushy. ### 2/5 — Crashing *2020-09-04, version 1.4.5* Keeps crashing every time I hit classic game. ### 4/5 — So far, so good *2020-08-18, version 1.4.4* Just started- easy & fun thus far. ### 2/5 — Pop up *2020-05-30, version 1.4.3* Why do the all access games keep popping up and not allowing me to play games. ### 3/5 — Brado2424 *2020-02-27, version 1.4.2* Good ### 5/5 — WordU *2020-01-02, version 1.4.0* This is a fun fast game that keeps you on your toes and challenges your mind. Good game to teach to your children if they are young or even older. Great to teach your grands too when your babysitting. ### 5/5 — WORD YOU *2019-12-29, version 1.4.0* LOVE THIS GAME !!!!!!! NANA/JOYCE ### 1/5 — Can No Longer Play *2019-12-03, version 1.4.0* It was a great game until they added the subscription. Because I am so far into the game, I can no longer play unless I buy the subscription. No thanks! It was fun to play when I’m bored or waiting around, but it’s not worth $9.99. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2019-12-03, version 1.4.0* Great Game!! ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging *2019-12-01, version 1.4.0* Great challenging game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Free trial only *2021-04-17, version 1.4.6* $5 a month to play a dumb game ### 1/5 — Waste of time! *2021-01-25, version 1.4.5* Only got to the third level of classic then it would not let me continue if I clicked exit on the “subscribe to all games screen”. Game deleted, don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — Crappy *2020-11-15, version 1.4.5* Your load coding sucks as does the “game”. ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-10-13, version 1.4.5* Got to the end of the free levels in 10 minutes. Delete now. I’d take ads to play but that option isn’t available. ### 1/5 — Locked out after 3 rounds? *2020-07-21, version 1.4.3* Like some other reviewers, I was locked out and asked to pay after level 3 on both games. I understand waiting a day but wow. Definitely not free with pay options ### 1/5 — Love this game, but... *2020-06-20, version 1.4.3* Really like this game, but the new Crossy is stuck at level 66. Finished the level and the “next” button never appeared. Tried restarting, spent 50 coins on a hint... nothing works. Latest iPhone, latest iOS. ————————————————————- Update: Had to down rate this game. After not having played it for a while, I am now hit by a subscription paywall and cannot continue to play. And I am sorry, but I am not interested in your other games and I am not paying £9.99 for just this one. ### 1/5 — Too bad *2020-05-21, version 1.4.3* Loved playing but since the update you have to subscribe in order to continue playing. No thanks! Deleting ### 1/5 — Expensive *2020-04-28, version 1.4.2* I played for one day then they wanted lots of money ### 1/5 — You have to pay for EVERYTHING. *2020-02-28* I understand that the people who made this game have to make some revenue but charging 10$ is A LOT OF MONEY 😪. Sorry but if it was less, yes i would happily pay for it but not 10$. ### 1/5 — Ok *2020-01-20, version 1.4.1* Really don’t know what to think. I played the first 10 levels. Passed the University. Played next 10 levels. Took me back to the University and said pay us 20 dollars a month to continue along with access to these other games. No thank you, so I’m deleting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great brain workout *2023-07-29, version 1.4.6* I stayed awake to play this ### 5/5 — Love it BUT..... *2021-02-08, version 1.4.5* Love this game it really helps me to make words the more I make them the easier it gets just one problem I paid for the all games access and it said cancel anytime in settings I did and can’t find it no where right now I’m on a free week and what to cancel my subscription but can’t I need help. ### 5/5 — A great word game *2021-01-23, version 1.4.5* I love to make lots of words in word game apps so much.
