Challenging and engaging, ads are tolerable. Two very annoying issues: 1. No way to save high scores 2. Game shuts off music when playing. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2010-11-16, version 2.2* I'll admit it, it's an addicting game - really enjoy playing it! ### 4/5 — Like but keeps crashing! *2010-11-02, version 0* I like this game because it kind of makes me think but it keeps crashing on me! Almost every time I start a new game. Once that's fixed, I'll give it 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Love it, but... *2010-07-13, version 0* I upgraded my touch to the new 4.0 and backed up my system and still lost all game data. It loaded but the tiles wouldn't load. Had to reinstall to play. Frustrating. Love the game overall tho!!! ### 5/5 — Great! *2010-04-27, version 0* I love this game. It's very addictive & I would totally pay the dollar for the full version  ### 5/5 — Fun and great user interface *2010-04-21, version 0* I love word games and used to play WordPop on my old Palm phone. It's an addicting and fun game and I'm so glad to see it's for iPhone now. ### 3/5 — Made me buy the full game :) *2009-11-19, version 0* ! ### 5/5 — it's so funny *2009-10-16, version 0* i playing the game everyday ### 5/5 — Yay *2009-08-23, version 0* This game rocks. It's so addictive! ### 4/5 — This game is really cool *2009-04-06, version 0* I like this game, I plan on buying the full version later. Except there are a lot of standard words the game does not recognize, and I can't figure out what to do when i'm stuck with one letter at the end! ### 5/5 — Great Game 9/10 *2009-03-01, version 0* Love this game one of the only games to keep! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — Bad *2011-03-30, version 2.3.1* This game cuts my iPod off when I try to start a new game and then I got to turn it back on!!!! It's fun but I hate that I deleted it!!!!!!!!!!!!:Z thanks!:) ### 1/5 — Ok *2009-07-23, version 0* Boring but ok ### 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. ### 2/5 — Bad and ok *2010-08-01, version 0* It's not horrible, but it needs a lot of improvment. It's fun but when u end up with only one letter left, it's unfair! And I HATE THIS GAME !!! ### 2/5 — ¿ *2009-04-27, version 0* I thought it was pretty boring and stupid¡¡ ### 2/5 — Very Fun Game But Could Use Improvements *2009-03-01, version 0* In general this is a fun and addictive game. I like the graphics and sounds. But this game is not recognizing A LOT of authentic words. There are so many words missing that it would be impossible and inconvenient to email the missing words, as suggested in the App. Would be nice if the developer could implement the TWL Dictionary (official dictionary for Scrabble). Also, I would like to see a "New Game" button on the game board itself, instead of having to quit, go back to the main menu, and start another game. For the price of FREE it's fun, but certainly could be a hit with these improvements. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Awesome app, with bugs *2010-11-29* It says in the description it fixed the crashes, but it did not. When I try to start a new game during a current game it takes me to best words and when I press done it crashes!! I loved the actual game. Would be awesome if it got fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really fun making words *2024-03-23, version 3.1* This games is both easy and challenging which is why I keep playing it. 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... ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Newest favorite game! *2011-09-16, version 2.3.1* Lots of fun. Learning new strategies to maximize word values & still advance to next round. Smart & addictive- in the best possible way. No problems with crashing. Occasionally, accidentally tap on ads, but hey, that pays the developers who've made the diet version of game available for free play! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great *2011-07-18, version 2.3.1* Very addictive ### 5/5 — Works Great on my iPod Touch *2011-05-26, version 2.3.1* I really love playing WordPop! I am a fan of Smart Box's games. I have Farkle Dice too. The quality of WordPop! is great. I have never crashed and I have played for hours. ### 5/5 — Use Those Blank Tiles to Win *2011-04-07, version 0* Some reviewers noted they got stuck at the end of the game with one or two letter tiles left and did not know how to continue. To get unstuck, there are three blank tiles on the right side of the board that can be placed next to the remaining letter tiles. Blank tiles can be use as any letter. For example, if you find at the end you are left with the letters S and T, you can put the blank tile next to them and make the word SAT or move two blank tiles and make the word SEAT or SALT. As one of the developers of WordPop! I love getting feedback. Make sure to use the Support link in the game or in iTunes to contact us. ### 5/5 — Excellent game - Addicting replay *2011-03-17, version 2.3.1* This is a great game. First I've seen to implement difficulty levels. Unique twist on word or Boggle type of game. Very challenging and yet keeps me coming back. Ads are not too intrusive, but I recommend the full version. I love this Dev's other game of Farkle. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
