| 2024-11-28 |  | | Not what it used to be, at all. Quite an ad-infested hellscape. Worse in that regard than many other free games I've played for sure. Guaranteed you'll spend more time being held visually hostage by the worst fake ads you've ever seen than you will spend actually playing the game you downloaded. There's so much junk in this app, and the other non-classic varient is even worse somehow. The cherry on top is that you can pay $10/month for an ad-free experience, which is just dubious. |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | The amount of commercials, length of commercials, the fact that you have to tap out of one commercial three times, it stops your music when you're listening to music. I don't understand why all of the commercials can't be muted. I refuse to pay just to get less irritating commercials. I'm fine with commercials. I have plenty of games that have commercials and none of them are as ridiculous as the ones in this app. A lot of the commercials are extremely offensive and inappropriate. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | I've been playing this for years an I love it, but I get tired of it freezing up all the time. It just told me I couldn't play without an update but it won't let me do an update. It is telling me it's four times more megabytes for the update then the game itself. Does anyone know how many megabytes this game is because there is no information anywhere in the app that tells you! |
| 2024-10-31 |  | | Started with 5 stars but, now the game has changed AGAIN. NO NOTICE or directions. There is no longer a challenge to EARN power ups..NOW U WANT US to PAY for them!! I have been playing for appx. 6 or 8 years, every day. Now...there is NO reason to try anymore because the only rewards are minimal coins and a neverending chance to get another color tile!! YAY. I PREFER TO BUY (WITH MY EARNED COINS) the power ups and have the ability to SEE the other options I earned! Like the Better to play |
| 2024-10-12 |  | | The game itself is lovely. I am quite fond of my opponents as the game states they are my friends. unfortunately Zynga has not been able to correct some very serious flaws. The one I find most irritating is that when I am concentrating on a board, someone else plays against me and it's supersedes, overcomes, is shoved on my screen over the game I am concentrating on. I have complained about this and supposedly it was corrected however this morning it's happened again and I find it irritating |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | Have had many issues! It's seems that the beginning of each much I can't play my turns. Usually I just have to reload the game but not this time. Reloaded 3 times still can't see my turns to take them. My friend sent screenshot to show she took her turns... only other thing is I wish there was less ads. Usually I have enjoyed playing but I don't enjoy it much anymore. |
| 2024-09-06 |  | | Thankfully, the bug fixes in this release have been offset by myriad regressions. Word Wheel, in particular, is a downgrade from the previous version, with graphical glitches and reduced responsiveness. It looks like they reimplemented it with a new framework or something, and it's back to an unpolished 1.0 state. |
| 2024-09-02 |  | | Unplayable. Too many pop up graphics and adds. Too expensive to get rid of them. I love my games that take a ONE time payment under $10 to get rid of adds permanently. This app asks for $9.99 a month to play with no adds. Like we don't have real bills. Crazy. Also, hard to navigate. Can't figure out how to send my Facebook friends an invite, instead there's a huge list of strangers. Words with strangers. Lol. |
| 2024-08-30 |  | | I liked this better before they started "continue your streak" Also, you can play perfectly good words which they reject as wrong even though you can look up the meaning of the word. And then there is the other side of the coin where you see words that you have never heard of and sometimes even zinga can't find the meaning of a word they've accepted. Also problems occur too often. Particularly when you watch a video to get an extra turn but a problem arose and you are out of luck |
| 2024-08-07 |  | | New update is glitchy!! Notifications don't clear after playing a game, word strength is sporadic, keeps returning to a game that has been played and is opponents turn, sometimes need to exit a game and reopen to get the zoom out feature to work. Have been playing this game for over 10 years and have never experienced such a poor app update. Someone needs to hit the "Undo" button. |
