### 1/5 — Dud

*2026-06-20*

This is just an app to let you buy the developers products, I hoped it would be a game sample. The dishonesty of calling this a games makes me think I should avoid anything from this developer.  Fool me once…

### 1/5 — No Games

*2022-06-09*

You can only choose other games to play! Nothing from Word Storm.

### 1/5 — What’s the point

*2021-06-25*

I downloaded the lite version to see if I like it. However, as soon as it loads it asks me to pay £3.99. I don’t have the opportunity to try it out for free, as advertised.

### 2/5 — Not free

*2020-08-15*

You get a half dozen free games and then you have to pay. Could improve layout so words are alphabetical for quick checking whether you have already got it.

### 1/5 — Time wasting con job

*2020-04-21*

WTH? You do realise that shonky tricks like this just convince people NOT to buy your game, don’t you?

### 1/5 — Won’t let you play unless you pay!

*2018-05-12*

Can’t play this as it keeps sending me to the other app you have to buy.

### 1/5 — There are no games!!

*2017-07-27*

So wanted to try this game but all you could do is click on a pop off for the pay version. That is messed up!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2017-07-09*

This app opens and immediately requires you to BUY games. Otherwise nothing you can do with it. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

### 1/5 — Why can't I play in the lite version?

*2016-01-04*

It's only providing the option to buy the full version

### 2/5 — Nice try, but...

*2015-02-18*

This game has a very good concept, but needs work to realize it better.
In the first few minutes, I noticed that this game seems to ignore real words which really should be recognized by a playable word game, especially when the "universe" of words is pre defined in the puzzle.
I hope that more work will result in a playable game, but this version is not worth the download.
