Until I opened the app and all my progress was lost, no way of getting it back. ### 2/5 — Chaotic cascades *2024-07-06, version 1.0.13* I really liked this game until I got to the level where cascades were introduced. It went from a thoughtful and chill word game to one where it’s just about dragging letters around until someone lucks onto a cascade. I wish there was a way to play without that option. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2024-05-11, version 1.0.12* My brother told me to download this game and I thought it was gonna be one of those games infested with ads and cues to pay more money, but I was surprised when I downloaded it. The game has a cute and simple design. Also, It has more than meets the eyes. Daily challenges, adventure mode and cool co-op mode. Highly recommended. ### 2/5 — Horrible dictionary/search function *2024-04-26, version 1.0.10* The game allows ultra-obscure words but doesn’t recognize very common and trivial ones. Either the scanning of letters looking for words is broken, or the dictionary is screwed up. Also, becomes repetitive very fast unless you fuel it with purchases. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-04-24, version 1.0.10* Absolutely wonderful game to play and improve your words dictation ### 3/5 — Problems *2024-04-23, version 1.0.10* I got this game, liked it a lot initially but then it would not allow me to receive upgrades I had earned and would not accept a word like “learn or clean” what the heck! Frustrating cause I liked the game a lot! ### 5/5 — No forced ads! *2024-04-08, version 1.0.10* This game has no forced ads interrupting gameplay and the in app purchases are entirely optional and not required for basic gameplay! I had the same issue others had of losing my game progress randomly but after doing the tutorial again I force crashed the app and re-opened it and found all my save data was back :) Definitely recommend this game if you’re sick of constant ads and am incredibly impressed with the game especially with it being made by a small team ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2024-03-17, version 1.0.10* Fun way to words ### 3/5 — Reset bug still there *2024-02-10, version 1.0.10* I wish I read the reviews sooner. I just got hit by the “reset bug” and lost all my progress 😔 EDIT: reopened the game after a day, data is back. Can’t really explain what happened here but really scary. ### 2/5 — Can’t play it *2023-11-26, version 1.0.8* I launch it and play through it but when I close the app and re open it, it resets to as if I launched it for the first time. I like the app but can’t play it bc of this glitch ### 3/5 — Great game but doesn’t save progress *2023-11-25, version 1.0.8* As soon as you close the app you lose everything which is so frustrating!!! Other than that it’s very addictive and great to play. ### 2/5 — No multiplayer *2023-11-21, version 1.0.8* i download this game and play single player. i cannot play multiplayer and nothing i do fixes it. i re-downloaded the game and lost my progress and it still doesn’t work. my internet is fine it’s the games fault. ### 5/5 — Fix your game *2023-11-17, version 1.0.8* Fix your game please. ### 2/5 — Buggy, game is ok though *2023-11-13, version 1.0.8* The game itself is good. But every time I close and re-open the app it makes me re-do the tutorial and all my progress has reset to zero. My co-op games are still there, thankfully but having to go through the tutorial over and over again is super frustrating.. need to sort that asap or at the very least make a skip option ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Instructions are dismal *2026-02-18, version 1.0.16* The tutorial needs to be re-written ### 1/5 — Deleting Data *2023-12-07, version 1.0.8* The game refuses to save my data. It’s a really fun game but it’s extremely frustrating that it isn’t saving my progress and keeps making me redo the tutorial. ### 1/5 — um what happened *2023-11-29, version 1.0.8* every time i open the game it brings me to the tutorial. i was actually enjoying it too :-/ ### 1/5 — Been several months and still no fix *2023-10-27, version 1.0.8* Game keeps resetting my progress anytime the game is closed. Could be a great game if it wasn’t for the progress resetting every time I decide to play. ### 1/5 — Love it but deleted it *2023-10-05, version 1.0.8* First off I hate to give this a one star review. It frustrates me that I will be deleting it after this review. It is, overall, a fun and challenging game. HOWEVER, even though I am signed in, it will not save my progress. Every time I open the app it throws me back to the tutorial and I have to start at level zero. No thanks. It’s a shame because it is a really great game. ### 1/5 — Lost Progress *2023-09-04, version 1.0.8* I like this game and play it all the time, but when I opened it today all my progress was gone. It started me back at the very beginning. I had all the upgrades completed and a high score. I’m so disappointed in the app. ### 1/5 — Great idea. But can’t add friends? *2023-08-21, version 1.0.6* Hi, I will update my review once the game is fixed, it seems you can’t add friends, you can only send them a request, which just forces you to the App Store to download the game. ### 1/5 — Played it then it reset.. *2023-07-02, version 1.0.4* Was having a fantastic time playing!! Was so fun. Closed the app then went to play again and all progress had gone and was back at tutorial? I’ve read some other reviews and this seems to be a recurring issue -_- Was looking forward to keep playing… ### 1/5 — Game won’t even load. *2023-07-01, version 1.0.4* This game looks fun, but I can’t find out because the game just refuses to load. The loading screen at the beginning stays stuck at 0% forever. What an absolute joke. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect Game! *2026-03-25, version 1.0.17* Words Collide is a cozy, fun, and cute game with many upgrades, possibilities, and puzzles! I will always love it. ### 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. ### 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!! ### 5/5 — Good game but Let me change my username *2025-01-11, version 1.0.13* I love the game and played it a lot on an old account,but I got a new iPad and forgot to rename my games profile username. I didn’t realise it before starting the game and it’s forcing me to use the default name I was handed before I changed it for my games profile. There seems to be no setting to change my name. Please fix that. ### 5/5 — Better then Wordle *2025-01-02, version 1.0.13* I’ve started playing this game instead of my daily worldle because it’s just SO DAMN GOOD. And there’s also no forced ads! This game deserves to be at the top of the App Store 👏👏 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-10-06, version 1.0.13* Outstanding to discover a fascinating word game that can be played on many levels! Yes, it’s great not to be bullied into paying money, or into watching dreary ads, but what I love most of all is that I can play Zen mode for about ten minutes, or play Daily if I have more time. There are even more complicated modes, but I am yet to master them. In short this is a joyously fun game about creating words that I recommend to all wordsmiths! ### 5/5 — Outstanding! Very polished *2024-07-07, version 1.0.13* This is by far the most creative, fun and engaging word game to have come along in years. Everything is so fluid and polished in terms of animation, gameplay mechanics and satisfying sound design. I’m really impressed and can’t stop playing it (send help!!) ### 5/5 — Really good *2024-06-25, version 1.0.13* No ads, fun but sometimes the game randomly resets all of my progress, if this ever happens get out of the game and go back in. Besides that this game is really good and I have a lot of fun playing it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
