I frequently have to tap the screen multiple times. This slows down my progress. It is too bad because I enjoy competing. ### 4/5 — Game lover *2021-12-11* The only way to stop the buggy /ads is to turn off the notifications on all apps . ### 4/5 — Shuffle PLEASE 🥺🥺🥺 *2021-11-12* Plz plz plzzzz add the shuffle feature. When making words, there should be a “shuffle letters” button on the side. That makes it a better experience finding the words! Otherwise, I love this game! ### 2/5 — Errors *2021-03-27* Continually questions my internet connection when there is a connected and working internet connection. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-07-15* Every time I try to play a single player/timed game, it crashes when the timer runs out. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. (If you do not log in when you use the app, please note that uninstalling the app will delete any information not saved to a The Free Dictionary account.) If that does not help, please email us at support[at]tfd[dot]com. ### 1/5 — Blah *2020-01-16* Won’t let me play anymore without logging in. Why should I have to log in suddenly?? Over it. DELETED ### 5/5 — WordHub *2019-12-15* Erm this game is good if you sigan but if not it is sometimes annoying especially the ads the will make you distracted and you can’t focus on your game.But on saying that I think it is a really fun educational way to learn words as you take in more information if you are relaxed than if you are not.My daughter enjoys this game very much. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in! *2019-06-16, version 2.23* This app ha s had so many bugs. Once again the login button doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — [Will update review] *2019-06-08* You would really expect the full app to be designed better and run smoother than the minigame embedded in the Free Dictionary app, but it's not at all. There's a tiny but noticeable delay each time you tap a letter, and you have to tap EACH letter in reverse order to delete a word, which is a significant downgrade to what I thought was a clever and streamlined design. Plus the visuals are uglier, and the multiplayer features don't seem to work. You're better off downloading The Free Dictionary just to play WordHub if that's your thing. Edit: I managed to play my first multiplayer round (after 6–8 separate occasions when it claimed to have trouble connecting to the internet, even though my connection was fine. I'm not the first person to complain about this either). I'll wait to see if this is an improvement or a fluke. It's definitely useful to know how to clear a whole word, but why not keep the mechanic where you can tap any already-tapped letter and erase everything after it? It's both more efficient and more intuitive, in my view. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We will pass it along to our development team. You can delete multiple letters at once by tapping whatever you have already typed.
