Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
If you are unable to figure out a word. You are stuck. It would be nice if you could skip and go to the next puzzle … Then come back later.
We used to play this game all the time when we were in high school (2013-2014). We decided to download it again for memories sake, and to pass the time by, but every time we click play, the app crashes on us. Apparently this app hasnt been updated in two years. We dont know if the developers just up & quit on this app, or if Im even wasting our time even writing this review, but we surely hope this app gets an update to match the current iOS version & more added words, as it seems the words are all the same from so many years ago (according to other reviews).
We used to play this on our iPod in 2014 and later downloaded on our iPhone around 2016. Currently, in 2020, its not working on an iPad. :( Was a good game.
We like this game and we use to play on it but It wont let us get on so please fix it.
Doesnt seem to work in latest iOS.
App keeps shutting down as soon as you open it. So we reinstalled it and still did the same thing.. We loved this game! Wish you would get it fixed! Been doing this for weeks.
Tried to play but would load every time we press play it shuts down.
Every time we open the app we crashes. We love this game not this foolishness. Please fix this.
We really liked this game but apparently the developers have stopped updating it and it will no longer work with iOS.
The first time we played this game it was good in the first round. But when we wrote play it just kicked us out we joined like a million times and it just keeps kicking us out FIX THIS ASAP.
With the last update being two years ago, it seems this is incompatible with more recent iOS builds. It ran fine on 12.4 on our old phone just recently (as we put off updating till last week when it then tanked our battery and reminded us why we had never updated), and now it wont run on our new phone on 14.1. From the other reviews, it likely disagreed with iOS 13 as well. Dont bother to download this game unless your updates are way behind like ours were.
We used to have this game and we played it and we deleted it for a while but we got it back and now we open the app fine but whenever we hit the play button the app just closes down and goes back to the home screen, and Ive tried deleting it and getting it again, powering off our phone, and we checked to make sure we have storage, but we still am unable to play the game. Help.
Every time we press play the app closes.
App keeps shutting down every time we click on it please please fix the game we like this game it didnt do this when we had the 7+ and now we have the 11.
Although the game opens, when we click play, it closes.
Guess developers fell asleep and let this app crash and burn. Sad.
We like this one but we haven't play it for a long time and now it won't even open up.
The game shuts off every time we push the play button.
This is our favorite game, but now it wont open on our iPhone. Is there a reason why??!! We would like to keep this app. As its fun and challenging. Please fix it.
We love this game however, Ive been trying and trying to get more levels for several years and cant and we have over 5,000 coins just sitting there. Have w-mauled this company several times and nothing changes.
So loaded this this game app twice and ended up stuck with word puzzle with no pictures. Reloaded app – thinking a one time problem. It worked okay for about 12 puzzles and again – stuck at no pictures.. Software issues. Dont get this app.
A very fun way to exercise your brain.
Was our favorite app until it ran out of words:-(. Said they add new ones everyday but it's been three days and still no new puzzles. Hopefully back up and running soon.
Fun game and keeps you wanting to play more and more.
This game gives us anxiety but we love it so much.
This app is designed with many perfect features. For example, Its game is very funny, it run speedily and its performance is so pretty amazing too.
This is a wonderful game… We love it.
Love it so far! No problems. It's fun and we enjoy it as well as our two daughters who are 7 and 13.
We love this game it makes us think.and at our age that's important.
