STOP IT!
2023 Review: Stop trying to trick us into paying for “passes” or whatever! You put these stupid pop-ups in the game where we can accidentally click on them. Almost happened again this morning; I promptly canceled out of “Pay Now”. Also, the waving key at the top drives me nuts! The WWF game itself is fun and enjoyable to play.
STOP THE GREED!!
Previous review: I used to love this word game; however, with each update it gets more bloated and annoying to play. Pure greed on the part of the developers, trying now to push a "points" subscription. I could care less about points, social stuff, or whether I win or lose. I only wish to play a fun word game! Please allow us to opt out of all the other juvenile fluff (exception being playing the AI character, which is cute and fun). Here is a major gripe: Lose the flashing "key" and all the rest of that junk! Some of us actually have a physical condition which makes it super-stressful to have to see this flashing nonsense. It's purely to get us to subscribe, I know. You've been losing stars for several years, Zynga. Next update it'll be down to one?

TONS of Ads and Pop-Ups
The number of ads and pop-up notifications this game wastes your time with is disgusting, the owner of this is like a slumlord but in the app industry. I’m just trying to spend some time with my Grandma playing scrabble. Each turn you have ads you have to try waiting and clicking through, but most of the time it hits a dead end with an inability to exit out of an ad, and you have to fully close the app in order to make it go away, HUGE time waste relative to any other app I’ve used. So now I usually just end up closing and swiping away the app the moment the ads start. Then in order to see pop-up notifications of your grandma having played her turn, you have to be subjected to about 6 other pop-up notifications per turn, and you can’t select which type of notification to allow. And then you wanna basically allow people to cheat if they pay you enough money (extra no-skip tile swaps, word hints, etc.)? Owners of this app a bunch of moneygrubber dirtbags. But what else am I gonna play with my grandma other than scrapple?

Glitching & Scamming with $99 charges!
I have 9999+ because I accidentally hit a pop up costing $99 twice in the past 3 years. The very second I hit it (because picking up an iPhone8 is an easy way to touch the hone button) its done with no way out, I actually enjoy ‘earning coins’ & cant imagine why anyone would want 9999+ coins. I try to reverse/undo the tranaction immediately & report it to Apple & my Apple Pay credit card. My card company credits me the $110, and the following month its back on my card. I am a retired teacher on a fixed, no COLA pension. I have enjoyed playing daily since 2011. The pop ups are a sneaky way to charge us for crap we don't need or want & making it so hard to reverse is a scam! Its nefarious & a bad business model. Offer all the extras you want, but please make it a 2 step verification to purchase. Simply take back the coins!! The game is fun, but the pop up traps make it a pain.
And in the last month its GLITCHING.
Its stuck so I cant go back to replay solo challenges. In speed challenges, the screen moves around keeping us from moving tiles.
Fix the bugs & quit stealing my $$$.

Truly ruined a good thing!
1.) All of the in-app goals and achievements are new and give you NO WAY to opt out of these! They are a nuisance, they slow the game down, and I would venture a guess that these slow down the game so much they are part or all of the cause of the app frequently crashing! 2.) even with the app updated and the latest IOS, the game still frequently crashes. It’ll open for about 5 seconds and then close! This happens with regularity and NEEDS A FIX!!! Every couple of months this happens, and won’t stay open long enough to even contact their customer service to report the problem! 3.) There are all kinds of other annoying little glitches inside the game that I’ve reported many times and they have yet to be fixed! Chat feature is totally useless and messes up all the time! People who request a game and I deny them, they then show up in my friends list even though I never accepted their game! Red indicator numbers don’t disappear after whatever section is checked and scrolled through! And numerous other issues!!! ZYNGA, GET IT TOGETHER AND FIX ALL THE GLITCHES, COME UP WITH A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR APP CRASHING ALL THE TIME, AND FOR GOD SAKE MAKE THE IN-GAME ACHIEVEMENTS AND GOALS OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ads are really bugging me
I love this game, and played it for years, and I’ve put up with ads after EVERY turn on my IPad. But the recent addition of the two page ads is quickly changing my mind about the game. First an ad page with multiple products appears and there is a tiny “x” in the upper right hand corner, so I tap it to close the ad and it takes me to google, so I go back to the game and tap it again, same thing. It is so sensitive, if you don’t touch it just right, it takes you google for further info about the product beneath the “x.” If I’m lucky enough to hit that “x” correctly, then it displays a second ad page with a tiny “x” in upper left corner! I know they have to make money, but this is pushing the limits with me. I don’t want these type ads anymore, and if I’m stuck with them, make the darn X bigger so I can close them out! I’ve never bought a thing from any of these ads anyways! Ok, I’m done. The game is great, but I hesitate upgrading to Words 2 in fear of finding there’s even more of these frustrating advertisements. Enjoy the game, not the ads.
