Overtime it stops giving you hints and help you have to stop playing for a while
I had been playing this for a while and the hints doesn’t come in anymore overtime they stop it and then they offer you some for 99 cents up to five dollars but I am not paying for something that’s supposed to be free and I guess all the freebies are done for however I will continue to pay on and it is a fun game though

I am very disappointed in the app. The response of touching the screen is poor. I frequently have to tap the screen multiple times. This slows down my progress. It is too bad because I enjoy competing.
Game lover
The only way to stop the buggy /ads is to turn off the notifications on all apps .
Shuffle PLEASE 🥺🥺🥺
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!
Errors
Continually questions my internet connection when there is a connected and working internet connection.
Crashes
Every time I try to play a single player/timed game, it crashes when the timer runs out.

Blah

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.

[Will update review]
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.

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. What happens when you try to play a multiplayer game?
Crashes a lot!
The game is fun, but the app crashes while playing single games. Many reviewers complain about this problem. The fact you have to pay for each level is also a "turn off".
Response from developer
We're sorry to hear that the app is crashing for you. Please contact us at support[at]tfd[dot]com with some more details about when the game is crashing, so we can investigate.

Paid for this game, been playing for over a year, and now suddenly if I want to keep playing, I have to pay again.
I don’t think so!!

You do not have to pay to continue playing WordHub. Please email support[at]tfd[dot]com if you have completed Level 1, so we can provide instructions for resetting it.
Developer Greedy and Deceptive
Wrote the following for in-app feedback, then noticed the dev’s greed and deception has been going on for some time:
I bought the Pro version for $2.99, thinking I would be able to continue playing the game without the need to spend more money. I finished level one, now I’m prompted to buy level two for $.99. If I press No, I’m blocked from playing even level one games.
I was evaluating the game to see if I should tell all of my family and friends about it. It is quite fun. And it helps me because I have terminal brain cancer.
But to have to spend an additional dollar for each level, AND now cannot even play the first level, that is pure greed and extremely disappointing.
Because I like the game, I’m providing feedback to give you (the developer) an opportunity to correct or provide an advisory that once a player completes a level, he/she must pay to continue playing even the first level.
I have yet to provide a review on the AppStore for any app in the time that I’ve been using the store since the iPhone 4 came out, but I will go out of my way to make sure everyone knows the developers of this game are incredibly greedy.
I feel so strongly about the greedy manipulation of your customers, everyone should know.
Edit: just read previous reviews. Looks like the greed and deception has been in place for years.

Great entertainment!
Disappointed
Fun game. Addictive but have to buy every level. Greedy much!!
Nice app when it works
I have deleted this app and downloaded it several times.
It says that I’m not connected to the internet and yet I am.
Also, I’m a big fan of the free dictionary. It’s a great little game but right now just a bit glitchy.
Good luck

Have to Pay for Each Level
Fun, additive game. However, they want you to pay .99 to advance to the next level. Um, no thank you.
Wordhub
A great time consuming game sufficiently of a level that continues to challenge my Grey Matter always without any feelings of discouragement!
Frequent Crashes
App will crash sporadically and requires delete and reinstall. Very frustrating app. Enjoy the game.
I paid 2.99 for the pro version but could only use it for 1 day
