Community Insight:
We love this game and have been playing it for many years. A couple days ago it just disappeared! When we open the app it is a blank screen. No game. Please tell us that its just being updated!? Ill be so so so sad if its gone. Help.
Exceptionally challenging and fun. Requires rapid hand-eye coordination with an ability to see words in all directions. Our only complaint is we would like a list of ten most recent scores. Once your score is calculated for a game and displayed, its quickly obscured and not retrievable. We would also like the option for a 3 and 5 minute game. Otherwise, this game is addictive and mind provoking. We highly recommend it.
Way better than all of the other games out there with only 5 letters. We play this for hours and never get bored. Im amazed at the vocabulary we can come up with and how many words can be made from similar letters. Its mentally stimulating and keeps us sharp. We love it.
We just got this app a couple of hours ago and Its already the best word game app we have, (and we have downloaded more than Ill ever tell anyone, trying to find a handful of great apps that Id actually enjoy playing & wanted to keep). If you like mobile word game apps, go ahead and download it. You WONT regret it.
We love this game and didnt have to deal with ads til today (4 months into playing). Is there a premium version we can pay for to skip the ads.
Why is the gold trophy behind the platinum trophy now.
We love the game. Its great for making you really use your brain to try and find something. But Id like it if you could add more lines of letters for more difficult levels. Other than that, great work.
Ive played and enjoyed this game for years. Unfortunately, the ads are ridiculously intrusive and often interrupt in the middle of single game. Worse, sometimes they freeze the app so you cant return to the game. Ive had to exit the app til the next day or hours later to access the actual game. Ive deleted and reinstalled the app several times. Lets hope ittakes this time (Im reinstalling once again).
This used to be a fun game . Its great for creativity and to see how your brain is working that day. However, the time limit is 2 minutes. Then you must wait for 30 seconds minimum plus their 10 second countdown ads for your results. The same ads over and over. The ads feel as long as the game and extremely aggravating. There is no way to avoid the ads.
We love this game. We hate the ads. Is there a no ads option? We would gladly pay for no ads during this game.
This is one of our favorite mobile games and we can play for hours when it works right. However, most of the ads make the game glitch out now, and makes tallying the score after a round near-impossible. It didnt used to be this bad. We only ranked this as high because we love the game, but if we were rating this on how many times it bugs out alone, our score would probably be a 2/5. We would love for these bugs to be patched, as well as adding an ad-free experience for a low, one-time cost. We have been enjoying this game for years and would like to continue doing so, but these glitches. Wow. Please fix this :(.
This is a simple and fun game but as of recently the ads wont close. You have to exit the game completely and you lose any way to view your score or results.
Ads pop up in the middle of every game and wont let us skip them. We give up.
MAKE AN AD FREE OPTION FOR PURCHASE. AND DARK MODE PLS.
It crashes. It needs an update desperately. Why has there not been one in three years? Fun game.
This is a fun game but it insists on trying to get you to download other games in between. And it takes 20 seconds to get back to the game. We chose to waste our time playing. We ent appreciate all of our time that the ads waste. Yes or no should suffice. Ill be deleting it.
We hate the long ads. Sometimes we dont get a score due to the long ads. Seems we should get our score first, then an ad before the next game. We like the game a lot but may stop playing if the length of ads doesnt improve. Id rather pay for a version than endure the provitalize ad again or the wood puzzle ad. Enough already.
What a waste to have such a good game and then play at least a 30 second ad after every game without any option to pay for ad-less! We dont want to play Township but we would give you money for this game.
We love this game, the setup is great, its simple BUT they dont offer you the option to pay for no ads and the ads are ridiculously long and obnoxious. We love this game so much we would purchase it for no ads if they would give that option. But that game itself is our favorite phone game by far.
We have played this game since 2013, 2014(?) and it has been a pretty constant pal. The ads they added are so annoying we often just close the game. We will pay! Just let us have a no ads version.please.
Since the update many months ago, the timer has been out of sync with the words found count. In many games have we found a word before time expires that reaches a total of either 80, 90, 100, 110 words etc (clearly displayed in the word count on screen) for which additional points should be added, only for the calculators not to recognize the final word, instead crediting us points for only 79, 89, 99, 109 etc. This has cost us many Platinum trophies that we clearly earned according to the word count showing on screen. We have screen shots to illustrate it. Please fix this glitch. Thank you.
This app would be great if there wasnt a 1 minute ad for Royal Match or Garden Escapes every 2 minutes!!!!! Heck Id even pay to play ad free which isnt even an option.
Id like to see new boards, letter combinations. Doing the same puzzle repeatedly gets boring.
After each game there is a long ad that you have to watch. Its often longer than the game you just played.
The game is great, but consistently gets stuck, crashes and the ads are long and ridiculously insulting, requiring you to play their game. Then when you get back to Scramble the results of the game dont show! Extremely frustrating and not worth the effort.
Love this game but ads freeze up and you need to close the game without finding out how you did. Please fix.
Frequently the score doesnt add correctly. About half the time its fine. But the rest of the time, it will add points then take them away then add them again as its adding them up. Im too competitive (with ourselves) to see that happen so much.
Would appreciate an ad free version. There arent enough vile words to throw when the game play is interrupted by some vapid, dildetic commercial that we dont watch or interact with. We just put the iPad screen down and wait until it goes away. All the cutesy tricks of hiding the ad escape icons are just as irritating.
When we log on, we only get a black screen with an amount of words found. Or our screen freezes! Why.
Ads cause the game to crash and are just annoying. No option to upgrade to ad free.
The ads don't bother us, but it's the same letters over and over. So you end up making the same words every game. Not very interesting after a while.
We love this game when it works but recently it keeps freezing. The number of ads are increasing and are taking a long time before you can return to the game. It is becoming very frustrating to play this game. We would like to have a feature where you can pay to remove the ads.
Loved this game until the last update. Before the ads were at the bottom of the screen and we could see them and decide if it was something we wanted to check out. Now they force you to watch a long ad before you can see your score and start a new game. Honestly, we now play this game far less and will find other games that dont sidetrack you for as long.
Solid game. The combo of in-game and post-game ads are just too much. Ill have to look elsewhere unless zero-ad, paid version is available. Trophy at end of game covers first number of score. So 1500, shows as 500, and could be 9500. Please show a list of 5 or 10 most recent scores (and date/time).
The ads cut off the last second of the play. Then you cant see your score. We get so tired of the constant ads, that we just quit playing. Also there used to be a setting that would let you adjust the time so you could see how many words you could find; please bring that back; maybe without scores. It would make it more versatile.
Love this game. Dont mind the ads, as theyre usually just a splash screen you can X out of. New update, now theyre unskippable videos that are on the long side, and once you can close them, the score doesnt tally. At all.
We love this game until today. A pop up asked if the game could track us. We didnt allow. Them BAM one minute into a two minute game an ad pops on our screen.
Ads pop up in the middle of every game and wont let us skip them. We give up.
While we get the ad driven games such as this, its at a point that is intolerable. Not only do you have to sit through the ad but then you are only given options to get or install. Would be one thing if the ads varied but they are the same over and over. Im done with this one.
On our sixth reinstall in 2 days. Please fix this.
Rather good design, game but the constant ads, pauses, the time players are made to wait -UGH! Great to play for short breaks at lunch but the ads waste too much time.
Ive been playing this nearly every day for years. It was better before the ads that last longer than the game itself. Lately it isnt even fun to play the game because more than half the time the game lags so bad. Really sad.
About half of our play time experiences slow response and ultimate crashes. This app is in desperate need of an update to squash the bugs. Otherwise the game is enjoyable but is frustrating for the aforementioned observations.
Game is great but the constant barrage of ads for other games makes it not worth it. Remove the ads and we will be back.
We love this game and have played it for a long time to relax our mind. However, recently Ive been having a lot of pop ups that interrupt our games and redirect us to sketchy websites on Safari that say theyre tracking our device. Ill just be in the middle of playing and without touching an ad or anything, suddenly our safari app pulls up with the sketchy website. One time when we were playing, there was suddenly a loud beeping sound that started blaring from our phone and didnt go away until we closed the app. Ive tried reaching out to app support, but they just keep marking our requests as solved without even responding to us. Its like theres a virus within the app or something. We tried deleting and redownloading the app. Not only did we still have the same issue, but we also lost all our progress.
This is a fun game that gives you a quick burst of challenge, then rewards you with a bronze, silver, gold, or platinum score (we have only gotten platinum once out of hundreds of games!). However the ads are so tedious and can take longer to get through than the game itself. Lately the ads interrupt the game. We know we need to delete it because it wastes so much of our time. We wish there was a version we could purchase to eliminate the ads.
We really like playing this game – but the ads after every round are too annoying. AND it seems like more and more it will suddenly, mid-game, jump to safari to open a tab that is supposedly scanning our device for malware. We dont trust it. Sad to do it – but deleting this game.
What happened to this game? This used to be one of our favorite games. But recently, there are WAAAY too many ads popping up, esp in the middle of our game. And most of them say they are scanning our tablet for viruses. This happens 2-5 times per game. So disappointing. We used to love this game but if you do not fix it, and SOON, we will have to delete it. Too frustrating for us.
Below is what we wrote a long time ago. New review: Starting yesterday, we play one game, then the screen comes up very dark gray with a message in black about bonus points which freezes. The only way to make it go away is to turn our ipad off, then on. After 1 more game, it does the same & freezes again. Before this started to happen, when the score is calculating, the gold trophy is way to the right under the platinum one, whereas it used to be about midway between silver & platinum. Old review: we've been playing this game on and off for several years. Today, it is suddenly different. First, we can't see the stats on the far right. We had over 180 winning games with the platinum trophy, which then looked like 18. After winning a few more, looks like 19 instead of 190. The last digit is missing. Then decided to play a different version, but it keeps playing the game below the one we are choosing. We think they revised it but all the kinks aren't worked out. We would have given it a 5 but in its current flawed state, it earns a 2.
This used to be our favorite game app. We took it off our phone because of how much time we spent on it but recently downloaded it again (years later) for stress reduction sadly theres nothing more stressful than all these adds. Especially all the Bible related stuff? Like, thats not why any of us are here and its weird. We would legit pay a small one time fee to never see another add again. At least all these ads will ensure that we hardly use the app this time around, we guess? Hard to want to spend time on it with the near constant interruptions.
