### 1/5 — Can’t get my app to work It glitches out every time I try..

*2020-06-10, version 1.4.8*

I h e been trying to get back into my games however I can’t. I can’t log in with Facebook, I can’t create a new account and I also can’t access the terms of service or anything else on the app. 
Please help!

### 1/5 — Was great now just crashes

*2020-06-05, version 1.4.8*

The app now just asks me to sign in and then crashes.

Attempts to recover password all go to a site with a 503 error as do links for the developer website and help.

Been down for 24 hours that way at least.

Looks like the developer has been knocked totally offline from here.

Bummer too. Family spread out geographically was really enjoying while cooped up.

Last version was 3 years ago users should probably avoid.

### 2/5 — Please update!

*2017-05-08, version 1.4.7*

I love playing this game BUT it keeps messing up my phone because it hasn't been updated in forever!

### 1/5 — Apps

*2017-04-06, version 1.4.7*

Can't play game without apps popping up on their own.

### 1/5 — Used to like

*2017-03-24, version 1.4.7*

I used to like this app. I didn't mind the ads at the bottom. But now since the last few updates the app keeps popping me into the App Store to download spam apps I don't want when I'm trying to play a word. Fix this please or I'm uninstalling.

### 1/5 — What a shame

*2017-01-24, version 1.4.7*

This game used to be so much fun. But the constant jumping to the app store is incredibly annoying. I sure hope a fix is in the works. Otherwise a fun game this is no longer.

### 1/5 — New update makes game unenjoyable

*2016-11-26, version 1.4.7*

Too many pop ups. Too many reroutes to the App Store. Sometimes 8 in one letter play.

### 1/5 — Terrible Update! Ads pop up every few seconds

*2016-11-22, version 1.4.7*

Can't play..ads boot u out of game every few seconds!

### 1/5 — Crazy bug makes this app unuasbale

*2016-11-21, version 1.4.7*

Every since the most recent update this app forces open the App Store and tries to get you to download Uber or some other thing. 

The problem is that it's constant so I can't look at the game board for more than 2 seconds without the App Store popping up.

### 1/5 — Ransomware

*2016-11-18, version 1.4.7*

I really liked this game. Ads were distracting and right next to the letters but not too bad. However, now the ads boot you out of the game completely to sell you other apps. This makes the lite version unplayable. And now they want $3 to remove the ads. Total scam!
