Can’t get in touch with the creators so I’m stuck with it. Every time the game crashes, I lose what I’ve earned and that’s frustrating. The other players are great! There are different contests that make it more fun, but then again it crashes in the middle of the contests. There are other annoying things like every time you log on (after a crash), they automatically start you up on a new game with a bot person so you have millions of games going that you can’t possibly complete. I finally had to block that person, but they still go on behind the curtain, probably tallying losses for me. ### 2/5 — Loud ad actually during game play! *2026-08-27, version 1.878* Great, so now we have speaking ads popping up at the top of the board while playing the game! Off putting!! ### 3/5 — Word wars 1 *2026-08-22, version 1.878* Inspite of playing for 8 years, now the app is not opening. Some major glitch. Needs to be sorted out. ### 3/5 — Glitch *2026-08-20, version 1.878* So the game wouldn’t load for 3 days in a row so I had to uninstall & reinstall. I lost all my games in progress & over 900 coins. Kinda makes me not want to play this game anymore. Back again. Same problem. The W just spins & spins. So frustrating. If I have to uninstall & reinstall again I’ll probably just find a different word game. ### 1/5 — Too many login issues *2026-08-19, version 1.878* I LOVE this game and I play EVERY day but lately they are too many issues with the app buffering and NOT opening up! This is disappointing and very frustrating! Please fix these issues ### 1/5 — Fix the game ! *2026-08-19, version 1.876* After months of playing the game with a daily challenge Bot glitch where games are lost, now it won’t open as it searches for online players. The game WAS my favorite thing to do when I had a few minutes. Now i play word’s with friends. I like word wars better but am thinking it’s time to move on. ### 4/5 — App Support *2026-08-19, version 1.878* I’ve been playing this scrabble game for years and absolutely love it. However, my app has had a glitch over the past few months whereby it’s frozen and I’m unable to receive ‘coins from friends’ which meant I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall numerous times in a week to be able to continue with my games. I’ve reported this issue on several occasions but not had a response. I would really appreciate some tech support so I can continue enjoying my games. ### 1/5 — All of the ads work but the game doesn’t *2026-08-19, version 1.878* I’ve had this app for a while, the ads have always been annoying but kind of infrequently moreso, not sure how they have that set up with timing. In the last few weeks the game has not even worked. Seriously don’t even download it. All of the ads still work but the game sure doesn’t. Not worth it anymore ### 1/5 — Game not working properly *2026-08-19, version 1.876* For about 3 weeks now I cannot get on the game. It will not load. When it does load it glitches. It says I declined games when I did not. I emailed and I only got 1 reply. I have over 11,000 pts and I just know if I remove the app and put it back on I’ll lose my progress. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Word wars *2026-08-18, version 1.876* It keeps spinning when you try to open it. I tried to reopen twice and lost everything and the people that were playing. Was very disappointed ### 1/5 — Fix it for god’s sake!! *2026-08-18, version 1.876* This game stinks overall, but had really SUCKED and totally broken over the last few weeks…now, can’t play anyone but bots! I know several players who have tried contacting the developer, no response! They must all be on vacation!!😫 ### 1/5 — Can’t even load the game *2026-08-18, version 1.876* Went to get on game and it won’t let me. ### 3/5 — Fun game. *2026-08-18, version 1.876* I would give this game 5 stars but, it takes a long time for me to access the game. The wheel just spins and I rarely get access. Any suggestions? ### 3/5 — Word wars problem *2026-08-18, version 1.876* The app won’t let me into the game. I have to delete old app and reinstall app. This happens quite often. Please fix this problem. Very irritating. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitches *2026-09-08, version 1.878* LOVE this game..been playing for years,BUT lots of glitches & NO viable support ☹️ ### 1/5 — Can’t even load the game *2026-09-04, version 1.878* Went to get on game and it won’t let me. ### 1/5 — Too many login issues *2026-08-24, version 1.878* I LOVE this game and I play EVERY day but lately they are too many issues with the app buffering and NOT opening up! This is disappointing and very frustrating! Please fix these issues ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-08-24, version 1.878* I have played this for years and definitely the male spam messages are less frequent. But I often get the game close on me. I will click on a daily offer, watch the video and then don’t get the offer and the game closes. I start a game and it closes. It’s happening more frequently. I am on my go with plenty of phone storage and a new phone. Only game that does this. It’s putting me off. ### 1/5 — Too many ads too many bugs *2026-08-21, version 1.878* Ads after every play. Can’t add friends since links to play don’t populate. Ended up deleting the game. ### 1/5 — Zero support, crashes almost every day *2026-08-21, version 1.878* I love this game, but it crashes almost every day. I spent years building a friend list— people who play on my level, only to have the game crash and lost the entire friend list. The only friends remaining are the ‘bots’. Evidently, the app must create and control these. I had to delete and reinstall so the game would unfreeze—- And yes, I had the game backed up thru FB. I didn’t lose my accrued points, only friends. I’ve submitted MULTIPLE . obligatory bot response. If the game worked, my review would be phenomenal—- but instead, it deserves less than 1 star. Done begging!!! ### 1/5 — Broken link 3 weeks! *2026-08-21, version 1.878* I have the paid version and the link has been broken for 3 weeks! ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2026-08-19, version 1.878* This used to be a fun game, however recent updates have made it impossible to play. The game will not load and prior to the loading issue the ads became to frequent and numerous to enjoy playing. and don’t get me started on the ‘subscription’ fee and its utterly ridiculous fee! ### 1/5 — FIX IT *2026-08-19, version 1.878* I have complain several times about my games crashes. I have rebooted , went to the app to open the game and didn’t play for days thinking it would work when I return. Nothing . But the circle keep saying trying to find friends in my circle for 10-20 mins so I go play another game with no problem. I have played this game for a few years and this is the first time I had so many problems. But no problems taking my money. I enjoy playing this game and met some nice people but I am seriously thinking about deleting this game . As I read other comments I see a lot of players are having similar proble ### 1/5 — Stops working after a month or two *2026-08-19, version 1.878* I downloaded this on my iPhone and iPad. It stopped opening on my phone first. The app would open but would never load the game. I uninstalled it and reinstalled but could never get it to load again. Same thing happen my iPad a couple weeks later. I really enjoyed playing it so I'm pretty disappointed I had to remove the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Word wars *2026-08-23, version 1.878* Interesting and fun kinda like scrabble ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-22, version 1.878* Love word wars🤗🤗 ### 5/5 — Crashes!!!!!! *2026-08-21, version 1.878* Aug 1 2026 I used to love this game but the past week and a half this game crashes every time I try to play I can’t get past the front page where it spins to find new players. If this bug isn’t fixed I’m afraid I’m gonna have to delete forever but for now I’ve deleted it and yes, I’ve asked for help and no help has come. I would not recommend. Aug 20 2026 Since my first review, they have fixed the game and it does not crash. I would now highly recommend this game. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — FRUSTRATED!!!! *2026-08-20, version 1.878* Why isn’t the developer of this game responding to any of these reviews? Are they ever going to fix this game?!!! ### 5/5 — Game On!! *2026-08-20, version 1.878* I have been playing since 2020. I have met some interesting people along the way. I have also been playing with some of the same “WW” friends since I started. They are consistent with our games and play WHENEVER I am playing, middle of the day on break at work or the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. They challenge and increase my vocabulary regularly. I am thankful for that. Playing “WW” has also been therapeutic for me during my bereavement periods. No questions to answer but somewhere else to focus my attention to when I want to get away without actually leaving. Thank you Word Wars for the numerous game friends I play regularly and your continuous improvements over the years. ### 5/5 — Frustrated *2026-08-18, version 1.876* I love this game but all of a sudden it won’t open up. The W keeps rotating but won’t open my games 😢. I gave about 20 going and the timeline is running out in some of them ### 5/5 — Word Wars - Word Game *2026-08-15, version 1.876* Been playing for 4 years and haven’t gotten tired of it yet. Love playing others. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-14, version 1.876* Love word wars🤗🤗 ### 5/5 — Not working properly *2026-08-14, version 1.876* For some reason it stops working at the beginning when it says it is finding people to play. It seems to be stuck and won’t move on ### 5/5 — Lost points *2026-08-12, version 1.874* Love this game but, my points keep freezing up. I got 1st place and was to get 300 points and they didn’t give them to me😤frustrating because it takes a lot of time to get to 1st. I really want my points back. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
