Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love to make lots of words in word game apps so much. We sure hope this game could have Game Center support in the future.
Literally after ever puzzle solved. Its so obnoxious. Seems to be a well done game, but if youre going to make it free, actually let people play for a bit. We deleted it, will fund something else less pushy.
Keeps crashing every time we hit classic game.
Just started- easy & fun thus far.
Why do the all access games keep popping up and not allowing us to play games.
Like some other reviewers, we were locked out and asked to pay after level 3 on both games. We understand waiting a day but wow. Definitely not free with pay options.
Loved playing but since the update you have to subscribe in order to continue playing. No thanks! Deleting.
Hours of fun! We like the option of Payton remove ads.
We enjoy word puzzles and so far this one is holding our interest.
We like the way you have to be able to think quickly to come up with relevant words.
Really dont know what to think. We played the first 10 levels. Passed the University. Played next 10 levels. Took us back to the University and said pay us 20 dollars a month to continue along with access to these other games. No thank you, so Im deleting.
This is a fun fast game that keeps you on your toes and challenges your mind. Good game to teach to your children if they are young or even older. Great to teach your grands too when your babysitting.
LOVE THIS GAME !!!!!!! NANA/JOYCE.
Super fun game BUT why would we pay a monthly fee.
This game stimulates our mind. Challenging.
Keeps us company at all our many doctor appointments. Keeps our mind sharp.
It was a great game until they added the subscription. Because we are so far into the game, we can no longer play unless we buy the subscription. No thanks! It was fun to play when Im bored or waiting around, but its not worth $9.99.
You can no longer play the game past as certain point unless you pay. This is horrible. We're deleting the game after this review. We will delete any other games from this developer/company. Absolutely horrible.
Ive been playing this for a while and all of a sudden we cannot play at all unless we buy all access. We guess we will delete and find a new one.
The app seems like it could be fun, but you are only able to play a couple rounds until you are asked to pay for a subscription, at this point it will let you go no further. We thought this was a free game with in app purchases? Doesnt seem that way to us.
We made the purchase and it never worked. The app would not let us access anything.
What have you done to our Crossy game? We updated it and now its telling us we have to subscribe for $9.99 a month. Uh uh. Not going to happen.
We can no longer play without paying for a subscription.
Playing this game for along time. Even purchased some coins to get hints. Now u want $9.99 a month???? Bye bye.
Cant stop playing this game! Works our brain and we have fun.
This game is addictive and is not only helping us keep on top of our spelling skills but our middle schoolers as well. Thank you for making spelling fun for all ages.
Much better than most of these type of games. Too many ads, but not rendering the game unplayable. Enough variety to stay interesting.
This is a fun game that challenges you along the way! It starts out quite easy but gradually gets a bit more difficult. Maybe its just us… We really like the Pop Quiz.
This game can hold your attention for hours and be very educational to all ages.
Great time consumer! Plus we love WOOORDS.
Like it till it gets too difficult.
Challenging enough, but not frustratingly so as to give up.
Word U is the first time in our life we didnt regret dropping out of school. After all these levels we really felt like we were at some Ivy League school. Thanks. Our wife finally can look at us again.
Keeps your mind sharp and helps you in regular life.
Love this new game we found so much we purchased it. It looks good and has a cute soundtracks. It's relaxing.
Actual Rating: 2.5-3 stars. This is one of those apps that rewards you for rating 5 stars so dont be fooled by the reviews. Im nearing 200 levels completed and am still waiting for this game to get more difficult. It doesnt. Its just the same words over and over again. Very repetitive. Would be good for ages 9-10.
So far, so good! No complaints. Free version. Its basically what you would expect.
Looking for a game that our 93 yr old mother would enjoya woman who used to be able to do newspaper crosswords, we happened upon Word U. At first, it seemed too elementary but the game moves quickly into using more challenging words. We like the fact that when you guess words that arent used in the puzzle you still get credit that can be used later to buy a letter. That helps on the days when the brain is just not as agile. Ive found that we use it tooa good game to pass time. We will be introducing Word U to our grandchildren when theyre a bit older.
So far its pretty easy, but Im betting its going to get much harder. Good was to pass the time.
We are having so much fun playing these games. We are 69, so they help keep our mind sharp.
Love this game. Taxes our mind to think quickly.
Its really fun to play the ads can be a little annoying thats not a big deal tho.
Fun game, slightly challenging and addictive.
This game is pretty challenging and fun to play! A good way to kill time productively training your brain.
This is a pretty fun time waster. Its challenging without being overly difficult. Just challenging enough to engage you for a few minutes.
A real challenge. Makes us feel smart when we solve all the words.
Great variety of words and challenging puzzles.
We love this game! Very relaxing! Easy! Can get thru 25,50 or set stages in one setting.
Works well, doesnt crash, easy to play.
This game is challenging and addictive.
