I have stopped playing it because I know the first ad will freeze the game and I will not get to play another. It could also be due to the incredibly busy screen- no game needs that many graphics and icons, not to mention the annoying flash ads at the top of the screen. Hopefully you can clean this up. ### 2/5 — Could have been great *2026-09-05, version 2.9.5* First of all, there are way too many ads. It’s extremely frustrating to lose your momentum because you have to watch an ad after every hand that’s played. There are rounds which you cannot avoid where you have to play versus an “opponent.” But the opponent is clearly AI. You will have to spend coins or real dollars to get special cards to be able to defeat the AI opponent. This is a real shame because it is a unique gameplay mechanic, and I really enjoy unlocking the library rewards. ### 2/5 — Adverts!!!! *2026-09-01, version 2.9.5* I was enjoying this game. But then came the forced adverts between every game. So the ‘stress free’ element goes out the window!!!! I hate advert and have now deleted the game. Sorry guys but you’re just not good enough, get rid of the adverts and I’ll try again, but it’s frustrating and incredibly annoying. Must do better springs to mind! ### 3/5 — Letters *2026-08-28, version 2.9.0* Difficult to choose letters or reorganise them to make words ### 4/5 — Competition has its own set of letters *2026-08-23, version 2.9.0* Lovely game but don’t like the VS opponent having its own set of letters. Makes it an unfair playing field . ### 4/5 — I don’t like the new competitive games *2026-08-21, version 2.9.0* I have played this game for ages, and really enjoyed it, until suddenly this new style of game in which you must compete with someone popped up. How can I circumvent this new feature? ### 2/5 — No VS mode *2026-08-19, version 2.9.0* I have enjoyed this game up until the VS mode was added. If I could opt out of that I would play. ### 3/5 — Hi *2026-08-16, version 2.9.0* Hi ### 2/5 — Ads are now worse than ever!! *2026-08-16, version 2.9.0* I downloaded this game because of fetch. I actually love word games and this is fun. I could tolerate the ads in between each level but now you can barely get through the level. The ads that are at the top now have a pop out icon and will pop out when you’re trying to place words and constantly interrupting gameplay. Then when they suddenly cover the whole screen and you accidentally click it because you’re trying to place letters it takes you out of the game and opens the ads page. There is no need to inundate with ads like this cut it out already. Why make it almost unplayable???? This just recently started and after I reach the next milestone I need to reach I will be thinking of deleting. I would give more stars if they didn’t make ads suddenly cover the page while trying to get through a level. ### 4/5 — Wordscapes Solitaire *2026-08-13, version 2.8.0* Not now ### 2/5 — Forced opponents *2026-08-12, version 2.8.0* I rather enjoyed this game when I could play solo. Now that I have to play an opponent, and cannot proceed until I beat the opponent, the game has become more of a frustrating factor. I dread it every time I have to plan an opponent because I like Solitaire as it is a solitary game. I do not like that. I am being forced to play an opponent that I did not for. Please fix this. If not, I’ll have to delete this game and move onto something else. Playing an opponent should be optional not required and forced. It’s not fun for everyone. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Ok. *2026-08-12, version 2.8.0* Doesn’t recognize that many words. Simple English only, which is frustrating. ### 4/5 — Safe *2026-08-11, version 2.8.0* Fun enough ### 2/5 — No longer solitaire! *2026-08-11, version 2.8.0* I played this game every day and loved the challenge. Now the game is making me play against an opponent. That is not solitaire. It went from a 5 star game to a 2 star. If you continue like this than remove the word solitaire from the name ### 3/5 — I loved this game until now *2026-08-10, version 2.8.0* This game is fun and challenging. However, lately on some of the levels, I have to play against some other players, and I wonder if it’s playing against a bot. I wish there was a way to opt out of this. I really dislike it. ### 4/5 — Not like the ad *2026-08-10, version 2.8.0* But fun anyway. Don’t understand these games that can’t be the same as the ad tho. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bots *2026-09-05, version 2.9.5* I loved this game, played it daily, then they added vs levels against a bot. It’s terrible. It’s solitaire, a solo game. I shouldn’t have to play against anyone, especially not against a bot. What were the developers thinking? ### 1/5 — I will NOT compete against BOTS *2026-08-30, version 2.9.0* This used to be one of my favorite games. But then the developer added the “VS” rounds, which they won’t let you opt out of. Since then, I’ve dreaded even opening the game because it’s only a matter of time before they force me to play a round (or several) against a what is obviously a bot. They let me win a round or two, then the bot “amazingly” pulls out high point cards and wins, and I have to keep competing or spending coins to replay until I win. NO FAIR and it’s clearly rigged. DELETING THE APP. I’ve had enough! ### 1/5 — Ads impersonating system alerts *2026-08-30, version 2.9.0* This app pops up ads which you can’t get out of, which impersonate apple system messages, and which attempt to redirect you to buy on the App Store, The only way out is to shut the app down. ### 1/5 — 174 Second AD?!? For Real??? *2026-08-19, version 2.9.0* We shouldn’t have to watch a 3 minute ad for any app…ever. That is a bad choice. ### 1/5 — No Longer Solitaire *2026-08-15, version 2.9.0* There are now VS battles intermixed into the levels where you have to compete against bots. Literally, defeats the purpose of a solitaire game. Ruined it for me. ### 1/5 — Fresh *2026-08-10, version 2.8.0* It’s differentfrom the usual game. A fresh outlook ### 1/5 — An update changed the game! *2026-08-08, version 2.8.0* The game now forces the user to play with someone else half of the time, and there is no way or configuration to avoid that. Also, the phases are simpler, without the elaborated goals they had before. ### 1/5 — Used to love it *2026-08-07, version 2.8.0* I have played to level 8000- love the game. But now they have made competitive play mandatory to complete levels. I don’t like or want to play against others. I like planning words against books and sorting through options with letters I’ve got I hate it and stopped playing at 8010. Let me know when that becomes optional and I’ll open it again ### 1/5 — AI competition *2026-08-07, version 2.8.0* This used to be a great game but now you are constantly competing against AI and AI can always crush you. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2026-08-07, version 2.8.0* Thoroughly enjoyed playing this game for myself. Good for the brain and quite relaxing. But the last few weeks these VS rounds have appeared where you must play an opponent to progress. It’s now quite stressful and frustrating. The pleasure of playing solitary, just for myself has now gone and I will be deleting this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Newby Finding This to be FUN *2026-09-08, version 2.9.5* Im only on Level 17 so while it might get boring further along, so far Im really enjoying this game. Word games always appeal to me but so many are basically just alike and I end up deleting them after a while. This one keeps showing me new stuff so I’m hopeful it’s a keeper ### 5/5 — What fun *2026-09-06, version 2.9.5* Exactly why I love this game ### 5/5 — Super fun and challenging. *2026-08-25, version 2.9.0* Wonderfully challenging at any age. Convenient and not fussy. 🥰 ### 5/5 — Wordscapes *2026-08-19, version 2.9.0* Fast and friendly game that can stretch your knowledge ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-17, version 2.9.0* Awesome game. I’m hooked ### 5/5 — Word *2026-08-14, version 2.9.0* Great game ### 5/5 — So fun! *2026-08-10, version 2.8.0* Loving it so far should’ve started sooner! ### 5/5 — Please give us an opt-out option! *2026-08-10, version 2.8.0* This has been one of my favorite games, and I’ve been playing it for years. But now you’ve added a Challenge feature where I am forced to face off against an opponent, and worse, replay levels or watch ads until I succeed in winning. PLEASE, I beg you, give us a way to opt out of the “VS” challenges. I have begun to dread opening the app instead of looking forward to it. One of the reasons I have enjoyed this game is that it is time to myself, without pressure and without interacting with other people (real or virtual). This is not good for my emotional health. I want to keep enjoying your game — and with an Opt Out option, people who,like this feature can also keep enjoying it, too. ### 5/5 — More positive then negative *2026-08-09, version 2.8.0* More positive then negative : I really enjoy the game. I am at level 3,312. I’ve been playing for a while. I took a break , but would check app daily to collect free coins etc. I recently returned to actually playing and discovered some changes. The bot versus challenge. I like it. I win a lot. When I’m going to lose I like the option of watching a video or paying 500 coins to extend the challenge for second chance to win. And I usually win. I choose the video option because 500 coins is a lot considering how hard it is to get coins . So video FTW - literally. I prefer playing the Bot. Not a fan of one on one challenges. I think the Bot names are great lol ! I do think a decline option should be added, for those who do not want to do the versus challenge- and not be forced. I recently joined a league in hopes to get more coins 😜 I don’t mind as long as I don’t have to chat anybody and stay in my quiet lane. I am somewhat competitive and do team work. What happened to the bonus goals and objectives? They were a constant. Now they show up rare and randomly compared to what they used to. I have a daily challenge to complete 30 bonus goals I’m sitting at 9 out of 30 and have 8 hours left to complete. Not going to happen unless I play a solid 8 hours and I might not complete it then. I have gotten 9 since midnight last night. I have played for hours. The bonus goals are not balanced . That needs to be better. I do like the game , like I said I’ve played it a long time. I’ll keep playing. Hopefully things will get adjusted in bonus goals, and a decline option added on the Bot challenge. Not everyone is enjoying it. I am ad free . As much as I play the game it was worth going ad free. Sincerely, Creedscorner ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-08, version 2.8.0* So far seems to be a fun game and love playing word games ! This is fun and exciting and so far no trouble playing and no problems weigh the game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
