### 1/5 — Broken app

*2026-02-25, version 1.0.17*

Keeps freezing and crashing my phone on an iPhone 17 Pro. Poor performance to the point of having to hard reset my phone multiple times within first minutes of playing.

### 5/5 — Finally.

*2026-02-23, version 1.0.16*

This game is awesome, it’s what I’ve always wanted but never gotten in a word game.

### 1/5 — Instructions are dismal

*2026-02-18, version 1.0.16*

The tutorial needs to be re-written

### 2/5 — Doesn’t recognise legitimate words

*2026-01-21, version 1.0.16*

This app is ok but it’s grasp of words is bothersome - it makes up words, only recognises parts of some words and then other legitimate words are not recognised at all. 🙄

### 5/5 — Adorable

*2026-01-08, version 1.0.16*

Love the aesthetic of this game. I appreciate the solo mode for sure! It's so zen. Definitely worth downloading.

### 5/5 — Words Collide

*2025-12-28, version 1.0.16*

Still learning the ins and outs of this game, so far so good. 
Would be good if we could randomly pick an opponent on same level.

### 5/5 — Very cute game!

*2025-11-21, version 1.0.16*

Great pastime!!

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2025-06-11, version 1.0.14*

(Please make Super Drop Land: Remastered, I love the game so much)

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2025-04-24, version 1.0.14*

I LOVED this game, was playing it for hours on end and I loved the fact there was no ads unlike other games lol. Until I opened the app and all my progress was lost, no way of getting it back.
