I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2023-10-16, version 3.1* A great introduction to the full WordPop! experience. Try this and you will buy the full version- the best mobile game I have ever played... ### 2/5 — No more settings? *2017-11-27* Update includes music and sounds I do NOT want. Extremely disappointing there doesn’t appear to be a settings gear which previously existed. And it disabled my audiobook as well. Irritating. I like listening to a book while playing. **Developer response:** Audio tweaks are on our 2018 list. ### 5/5 — Finally stable again! *2017-06-23, version 3.1* Update: Great customer service! I was contacted by the developer who graciously gave me a coupon code since I had previously paid for the game. Now I am back to playing it too often. Good, fun game! Previous review: I paid for this game years ago and started playing it again, but it now frequently locks up on me, so I looked to update it and instead find only the free version that is ad supported! This is just plain wrong and greedy to change it and not support your paid customers. Or to not offer a paid version to get rid of annoying ads. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-01-25, version 3.1* I love this app. Been a while waiting for the latest version, but it's been worth it. Whether you need a quiz 2 minutes distraction or a longer session you can just drop in and out. Difficulty levels give you a taxing game if you want it. One of my all time faves! ### 1/5 — No Ad-Free Option????? *2016-07-25, version 3.0* I have been a fan of WordPop for many, many years... until this ad-supported version! As far as I can see, there is no ad-free option. So GOODBYE WordPop! You have been DELETED. No ad revenue for you, and no cash revenue from me! It's a lose-lose situation! Lucky for me there are plenty of ad-free games in the App Store. ### 4/5 — Great game but 2 annoying things *2016-05-28, version 3.0* Love this game! Challenging and engaging, ads are tolerable. Two very annoying issues: 1. No way to save high scores 2. Game shuts off music when playing. ### 1/5 — First game I was hooked on *2016-04-27, version 3.0* Played for hours and never got bored. Waited and waited for update...and here it is...!!! Only one problem with this update: ITS AD SUPPORTED!!! First thing I looked for is "where do I pay to remove ads". Not an option. Well, it was a short, disappointing reunion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wrote this review around 12:00p on 4/25/2016...why is it not posted...!!!??? [Developer] was allowed to give themselves a 5 star review. Is this the Amazon Store? Apple...you have to stop [curating] reviews. You are censoring me! ### 5/5 — We're Back! *2016-03-25, version 3.0* We had a blast updating WordPop for the latest devices. There's more to come, but we wanted you all to get back into the groove making words! Welcome back! ### 3/5 — Fun game ... But *2015-08-19, version 2.3.1* Fun game until you need to start a new game both free and paid version freeze up ## Frequently asked questions about WordPop! Free ### How do I play WordPop! Free?
