Please fix it and make an ad free version - you're on to an addictive game here! ### 2/5 — It has frozen *2015-06-09* The app has frozen, time has frozen, I can't create a game, other than game centre welcoming me back I can't do anything! I've tried restarting my iPad and have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't work!. Really stink as I had so many games waiting and now I can't play. ### 3/5 — Great game but.. *2015-04-09, version 1.4* Put off by the amount of adds! ### 3/5 — Fun but......ad heavy *2015-03-21, version 1.4* It's a fun game and, I know it's free, but the ads are just getting ridiculous. The latest update seems to have video ads which it is usually impossible to close down. Also many little bugs (which don't affect gameplay much) like that it doesn't count record stars properly and levels stop at L50. ### 2/5 — Really bad and lags *2015-03-01, version 1.3* The thing is when I find a word it doesn't work it just lags but I really hate don't buy this peeps ### 2/5 — Used to be fun, now there are just bugs *2015-02-16, version 1.3* I downloaded this game a few months ago, and it was great. They've updated it a few times since then, and the changes would be wonderful if they didn't come with so many bugs. The game not responding the servers, empty puzzles that you have to wait through, etc. also they've added ads, and they pop up at just enough of a stall for you to accidentally hit it (which I'm sure is on purpose) If they fixed their game, I'd go back to loving it, but now it's crap. ### 2/5 — Would be a great game but... *2015-01-02, version 1.1* These answers were clearly created by a non-native English speaker. The pizza toppings round wouldn't even let me choose 'pepperoni' but it said I missed 'prawns'...who on Earth puts prawns on a pizza?! ### 4/5 — Notagamer *2014-12-26, version 1.1* Great game for passing wait time! ### 2/5 — Meh *2014-12-14, version 1* Fun but won't sync with facebook so just playing with randoms isn't the same. What a shame! ### 3/5 — Bugs *2014-12-08, version 1* Why can't I delete my finished games? Also, my Facebook friends don't show up when trying to start a game. Otherwise good concept. ### 3/5 — Wait for the update *2014-12-02, version 1* I like the game. But it crashes a lot, causing you to re-do rounds or lose your game. The coins also make no sense. I go from 8 to 0 coins in one round, and I won a game and went from 0 to -1 points. How??? ### 3/5 — Great game when it doesn't crash! *2014-11-24, version 1* I love this game, but it keeps crashing on me! They give you 10 coins to use and over time these refill.. But whenever I play this game, after using a couple of coins on a couple of games it crashes and they all disappear! Great game when it doesn't crash!!! ### 2/5 — Has potential... *2014-11-21, version 1* But there is a lot of issues. 1. I use my stars to get power ups, they don't always show up in the game. 2. I buy power ups for one round the next round it says I have no stars left or that I have negative stars. 3. I get notification that it is my turn & it just says time is up from the last round. 4. The top half (where the words you found are listed) will be blank, like it's empty, all white, no blank spaces for my words & it won't recognize any of my words so I loss the game w a score of 0. ### 2/5 — Good idea but... *2014-11-20, version 1* This could be a fun game, but it has several flaws. First, if you want to play more games, you have to either wait or pay money. Second, there are some weird words that make it hard to get some puzzles. Example: looking for words that are pizza toppings? Have you found "eggs"? Third, there are some bugs. I had to give up a match because it stuttered and wouldn't move on. I also turned off the sound in setting, but there's still sound. Fourth, why isn't there a single player option? This is more of a single player game, so why only allow dual matches? Overall, the game is fun, but the framework needs work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👉👌🍆🍆 *2015-01-10, version 1.2* F💧ck ### 1/5 — Content quality is poor *2015-01-03, version 1.1* Chinese is not a language. And even though the Oak tree flowers in spring, Oak is not a mainstream flower. Kindly improve the content to make it meaningful and interesting. ### 1/5 — Not working *2014-12-24, version 1.1* Crashes every time I try to start a game ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2014-12-13, version 1* You spelled Tennessee wrong, no wonder every time I found the word it wouldn't accept it. There aren't three "s"s. Also, I'm pretty sure this has got to be a British game because there are a few weird words. ### 1/5 — Good Idea - Bad Product *2014-12-02, version 1* I like the idea of this game, however with 10 stars max you are limited in getting the extra boosts. It would be far better to have so many boosts per opponent. As for the stars themselves, well they disappear for no apparent reason. If I get a notification on my phone it pauses the game. This causes all the stars to vanish even if I had 10. Again it's a good game in principal but the software is letting it down badly. ### 1/5 — Too many bugs ruin what would be a fun game *2014-11-23, version 1* The game idea is decent and the gameplay is enjoyable when it actually works, which is very rarely. Some of the issues I've had include: •Using my coins for power ups only to not receive the power ups in the game •Having my coin balance randomly drained from 10 to zero without my purchasing anything •If you either switch apps to check a notification or use the pause button(and still stay in the app), it automatically ends your turn, and gives you a score of zero. •App will crash randomly, and if you're in the middle of a game when this happens, it also ends your turn and gives you a score of zero. •I'll receive notifications that it's my turn, but upon opening the app, no games will be available for me to play. Eventually, I got too frustrated by all of the bugs and simply deleted my app. The game itself may be moderately fun, but definitely not enough to put up with all of its major flaws. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-11-22, version 1* Constantly crashes while playing. Not ready ### 1/5 — Unable to play *2014-11-22, version 1* Now the coin timer has stopped counting so I'm unable to earn coins and play the game! Pointless ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2014-11-21, version 1* Should not have been released in its current state. Various issues include; random crashes, loss of 'stars' (the in-game currency type thing), blank boards, cannot invite friends, etc. It's a shame because there is the kernel of a good idea here. ### 1/5 — Can't turn sound off *2014-11-20, version 1* Didn't get as far as playing it as I couldn't shut it up. It has separate options to turn sound and music off; but the sound off option doesn't appear to work. Really basic. I deleted it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2015-03-23, version 1.4* I'm already addicted to this game, it's a good way to kill time on the train. ### 5/5 — Word Trivia *2015-03-16, version 1.4* Fun game!
