Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Spelling with strategy ,great way to learn new words.
Two Birds is an addictive word game that combines word search and strategy.
This is a very good game, but the devs periodically turn off the free hints you are supposed to be able to earn by watching an advertisement, leaving you no other choice but to purchase additional hints. This is still a problem today on June 22nd 2024 so we are reducing our rating to 3 stars.
Many occasions a particular player is shown to have placed first but on checking the result given with the letters in the game it is incorrect as all letters not used and therefore the scores dont match. Have saved a few instances when this happened. Has someone hacked it. Is it only in Portugese or other languages. Most persons dont check the results against th letters given.
Too many commercialsxant fet out of them.
We have been playing this game for 8 years and we love it. It keeps our brain challenged and Ive made friends on here over the years that we really enjoy playing with.
We love, love this game, but after years it keeps kicking us out. We tried turning our phone off and off. It worked for a little while then stopped. We tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it, but that didnt work either. Any help you could give us would be great.
This is a game we return to over and over again and Ive played several hundred rounds with our best friend. Its a great combination of logic and strategy, and the in-app purchases are fair. Ads are not overly intrusive. One complaint we have is that the app will decide at random to not open for several days at a time, and crash upon opening. Ive never found a solution for this.
Today an advertisement came up on Two Birds promoting borders and suggesting the people south of border lack morals when compared to the those of the U.S. Please remove this discriminatory type of advertising.
We love this game when it actually stays on. Most of the time we cant even get it because it keeps closing itself . Frustrating.
We have more problems with this game. It rarely loads on our iPhone. If it does, we dont get our hints when we watch ads. Please fix it.
Lately we cant even get this to open. No issues with our other apps at all!!! FIX THIS.
For the past 2-3 months this game has not worked. We have always liked this game and never had an issue with it. When we started having issues and we reported it, we were told there was nothing that could be done because they couldnt duplicate the problem. Well we are still having the same issue. When clicking on the app it opens and then closes. Pretty disappointed that it cant be fixed.
IPhone 11 will not open the game! Wth!! Automatically shuts down when we touch the icon to open.
Fun game with a league to compete with other players where you can advance to tougher opponents if you win weekly. Good word searching brain exercise. We also like that there are time limits and no ads.
Playing with friends and strangers, all fun.
We have been playing this game since 2014. 9 games per week for 6 years. That says something for how much we enjoy playing this.
The music and sound effects are relaxing! The game is fun and challenging. Its nearly perfect! However when using the 3 Words hint, the random words are all too often low points and beneath what one would expect for such a feature.
Love the game but tired of the fact that it needs to update so often. Once it starts, it doesnt stop. Only way we can fix it is to shut down the IPhone.
Am having some problems with the chat on our iPhone 13 in the game ,it is always showing chat disable even when we put it off we still cant chat.
Why are there not multiple leagues? And why is the duration so long? We enjoy playing, but hate waiting. Why cant we play in multiple leagues or tournaments simultaneously.
Great game spoilt by blatant cheating and collusion by a set of players in the elite division. Developer (Per) is fully aware of the situation and has promised for months to remedy the situation but has done nothing. Great shame.
It makes you think improve your vocabulary allows you to compete with friends and family.
Our opponent won with the word wifes! Thats not a valid word in English. We have a screenshot as evidence.
We like the game. We wish it evolved though with different levels maybe.
Two Birds is the best word game app in existence. Its a brilliant concept with a chess strategy element with original twists. It can be enjoyed on many levels, from casual friendly play, to intense scrutinizing chess like competition. The weekly league play feature is extremely fun and addicting. Its a game that is fun and easy to play as a novice on initial base level, but the more you play, the more strategical techniques you learn. The graphics are enjoyable and enhances the ingenious concept of this under appreciated game. It should absolutely be on the top of word games list in the App Store. Im amazed it isnt. Only rational we can think of is that those game reviewers arent familiar with Two Birds or didnt give it a chance. Ive been playing for about 5 years, and still enjoy it more than any word game available. We hope some of the professional reviewers will eventually realize this treasure of a game is better than anything out there and give it the respect it deserves. If you like word and strategy games, we cant imagine you will not love this game. Give it a try and spread the word.
It doesnt always give everyone a fair shake, but Overall we think it's a lot of fun and challenging. A nice addition to our other brainy games.
Love word games and this is top notch. Love the daily puzzle, love the league and just plain love it.
Leave the time frame alone … The League is from Thursday to Thursday… Ive lost 2 players during the night literally because we couldnt play !!! Ive played this game for years please adjust.
We have been playing this game for 4 years and absolutely love it! We were very excited to see they updated graphics and some features in the game. We had a slight issue with the Facebook login in and emailed customer support. We got a reply less than 24 hours and they went above and beyond!! Such a great experience. We would recommend this game to anyone who loves word games.
We love this game and have been playing for years. But lately it will randomly freeze up. The only way to get it back is to restart our phone. Sometimes when we open it all we get is a black screen. Hope there is an update soon because we really do love the game.
10/26/17 – new color combos are BAD – putting dark red letters on a medium dark green background. - The game is challenging and fast. Play against friends and/or participate in leagues as well. The daily puzzle provides an added test of your abilities.
We did the update looked around. We now have a black screen with a timer in upper left corner stuck at 30.
This is a creative word game. We play in both English and Spanish, both are and fun and challenging. It might be cool to have a ghost tile which changes by turn…Enjoy.
Thumbs up to a game that has an end every week.
We believe we've been playing this game for about two years. It 's great! We love playing it.
Player Hav been quick to play turns, it gives us a frequent distraction from our day. We did find out there was a limit to how many games u can play UNLESS u buy premium package, but we were having so much fun we bought it so we could add more players n play more often. We really Enjoy the diff of the game frm other word games.
Great game… Have to remember the time spent figuring out a word goes against your rating (we think).
It's fun and addictive! We've been playing with some of the same people since we started and we're well matched! We're still the underdog but love the challenge.
Love playing. We think we've even learned new words.
This is a very fun word game unlike any other word game we've played. It's definitely more strategic and helps to exercise this old brain of ours. Try it, you'll love it as much as ourselves & others.
We love this word game . It can be very challenging at times . We've made many wonderful friends from all over the world on here . Love it.
Awesome game! We have been playing it for almost 4 years. We have recommended it to a lot of friends who love it as well.
Started playing a couple years ago cause we were bored but and now we can't quit!! Love the game, and we have become friends with some players.
Awesome Game!!! Very Addictive.
Fun and addicting game. Enjoy playing.
We haven't played a game this fun since Fun Run 2.
Been playing for years! We love this game.
We love this game! We're completely addicted.
Good source to practice vocabulary.
