1. [R1] Word Cookies!® 2/5 · US Get rid of the cards: I love the game but the cards are stupid and annoying. Have to click too many times to get them off the screen and get back to the game. They have nothing to do with creating words.
2. [R9] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US Too much nonsense: I have been playing this game for years. Today it took 21 clicks to actually get to the game. I’d love to opt out of all the nonsense that I have no interest in. Instead I’m picking fortune cookies and trading cards that I have no interest in. It’s gotten out of control.
3. [R12] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US Too Much extra noise: The game itself is simple and fun. But they simply overcrowd this game with too many mini promos and micro transaction “opportunities”. I went to play today, and had to click 21 buttons and wait for the corresponding animations to get back to the level I left off on. It’s so frustrating, I’ve closed the app before playing before. I don’t want to open packs or spin wheels, I w
4. [R45] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US Too much extra junk: I have played this for years, done literally thousands of levels and still enjoy the game…when you eventually get to it past the seemingly endless sub games, open this card, collect this card, spin this wheel, spin that wheel, etc etc…. I have 14 icons on my Home Screen.. I just want to play the game, as I used to when I started playing! Still fun to play, just so much annoyin
5. [R10] Word Cookies!® 1/5 · US Missing spin wheel: This used to be one of my favorite games. Without the spin wheel it is nearly impossible to get many points and no second chance to spin. I used to look forward to that every morning. NO MORE😔
6. [R20] Word Cookies!® 4/5 · US Great Game: I have been playing this game for a long time and love it! I like the range of difficulty, but suggest that you mix up the difficulty rather than cycling from less to more difficult. I also was very disappointed to see the Daily Spin go away. It was a good way to earn bonuses without paying (which I suppose was the reason you changed it.) Now we only get one fortune cookie per day and
7. [R21] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US Spinning Wheel: The game used to have a daily spinning wheel daily reward, it’s updated to a fortune cookie icon, which is boring compared to the spinning wheel. Still a great game.
8. [R22] Word Cookies!® 1/5 · US Sad: I miss the daily wheel spin! Not happy about the fortune cookies
9. [R6] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US Disappointed: Played this game off and on for months and would have give it a 5 except for the timer. I’ll look for another word game sans timer.
10. [R7] Word Cookies!® 1/5 · US No fun: I’ve been doing Word Cookies for years. They’ve changed to format to a ridiculous “timer” format. HATE it! Why change a good thing to something so complicated?! Bye Word Cookies
11. [R15] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US Sgpn: This game used to be so much fun for me but now they have put a timer on some of it and it just takes the fun out of it. I’m close to deleting it and try something else.
12. [R4] Word Cookies!® 1/5 · US I love word cookies: It’s a great app, but unfortunately my app just disappeared today. Now I have to start all over. Very disappointed.
13. [R16] Word Cookies!® 2/5 · US Wordie: Made it to a very high level only to be kicked out and had to restart from the beginning very disappointed
14. [R18] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US Something went wrong: I’ve been playing this game for years and I really enjoy(ed) it. It’s the first game I play everyday. But I’ve not been able to open it for the past few days. That’s why I’m giving it 3 stars. Please help!
15. [R31] Word Cookies!® 2/5 · US Unknown21009: It stopped working every time I open the app
16. [R13] Word Cookies!® 1/5 · US Coins: Coins were 25 for a letter. Now 100. Not good! Nit to mention I bought twice. Took my money no coins
17. [R30] Word Cookies!® 3/5 · US eh: i always loved this game, but they got rid of the booster wheel for a whack fortune cookie thing and also hints jumped from 25 coins to 100 overnight. pretty lame.
18. [R51] Word Connect ¤ 2/5 · US Bombed by Ads: I love the game, but lately, it keeps getting frozen by poorly programmed ads. The music for the game runs merrily along in the background, while the screen is pitch black. There is never an X to choose for dismissing the ads, only an option to download. The only way to get back to the game is to completely exit, swipe to dismiss, and start all over again.
19. [R52] Word Connect ¤ 5/5 · US “Word Connect Review”: I ABSOLUTELY love these type of word games!!! therefore, I ABSOLUTELY love everything about “Word Connect!!! I like the music, I like the gameplay, and I like the graphics. The challenges and occasional helpful hint is a nice addition too. As such, it is an ABSOLUTE no-brainer to give this game app a five star review. Thank you EVER SO MUCH for making this wonderful game!!!
20. [R53] Word Connect ¤ 3/5 · US Fun but the ads are so annoying and excessive: I liked this game when I first got it. Fun but the ads are so annoying and excessive. Some days you don’t even get to complete the word because it’s ads every two seconds so I don’t play much anymore.
21. [R54] Word Connect ¤ 1/5 · US Update won’t load the game: This latest update has completely broken the game for me as I can’t even load it. It freezes at the free spin the wheel section and doesn’t load.
22. [R65] Wordscapes 1/5 · US Why not make the ad a the bottom bigger: I can still see part of the word dial. The ad covers up part of it, but not all of the dial so it makes it very distracting when I try to view the ad ,the game is in the way. I The flashing advertisement is really the only reason I open this app,. /s Anyway. Used to be fun but now the devs just want to cover up the game for ad revenue
23. [R66] Wordscapes 5/5 · US Just getting started: So far so good!
24. [R67] Wordscapes 3/5 · US Used to be better: I’ve been playing this game for many years now, but here recently it’s been really hard to enjoy it. Firstly, playing the game makes my phone get really hot, so I don’t want to play it for more than a few minutes. In addition, the game is pretty laggy when trying to load everything. Next, I don’t like how the game menu has changed from having pretty backgrounds to having a pet.
25. [R68] Wordscapes 1/5 · US Unhappy: After I complete one or two puzzles, you wouldn’t let me continue. You want me to play Chinese puzzles. Why?
26. [R79] Word Search Explorer® 1/5 · US Great game but ads cover puzzle: I enjoy playing this game. But today the ads covered the puzzle so that I couldn’t even play it. I am ready to delete.
27. [R80] Word Search Explorer® 5/5 · US Olivia: Helps me with anxiety attacks
28. [R81] Word Search Explorer® 3/5 · US Add stuff to your game to make it funner for people: If I was you I would have animals at the background that move or make it preppy or fruit design it more add more detail
29. [R82] Word Search Explorer® 1/5 · US Bothersome.: Game is full of adds to other games that hinder play of this game. I’m about to delete it and find another as you should too ☹️
30. [R93] Word Trip 2/5 · US Freezes often: Game has been calculating results for more than 24 hours. Fix the many glitches, until then better to delete this game and find one not by this developer.
31. [R94] Word Trip 5/5 · US Why are my coins evaporating?: I enjoy this game but have noticed for the last year that my coins are dwindling down? Is that something new? I used to have thousands of coins but now I’m down to none? This makes me not want to play this game anymore. What’s the point when you can no longer collect the coins and keep them for future use? Oh and the pesky adds within the game while play! It’s too m
32. [R95] Word Trip 3/5 · US So many ads after each round: Nice game but way too many ads like after each round it’s ridiculous. Hard to clear freezes before next round. I would love to keep the app but I’m gonna delete it
33. [R96] Word Trip 1/5 · US Screen blacks out: When I try to open Word Trip the whole site blacks out. Why?
34. [R107] Word Collect 2/5 · US Hints are disappearing: PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PURCHASES!!! This game cheats!! When you purchase hints they will initially show in you bank but as soon as you log off and back on they are gone!! It took support over 2 weeks to finally provide me with a credit but it was only half of what I lost. They still have no reasoning as to why this is happening and have not resolved the issue. I p
35. [R108] Word Collect 5/5 · US Word Collect:: Great game!!
36. [R109] Word Collect 3/5 · US Two little game, too much junk: When a game requires me to spend more time watching ads and looking at self-promoting information (“join a club! Start one of your own!”) than I spend playing the game, I quickly lose interest. I tried this game once quite a while ago. Came back to see if it had improved. Very disappointed.
37. [R110] Word Collect 1/5 · US Fix chat refreshing: I love chatting with my fellow team members but for the past two months that has been impossible because your chat feature is UNUSABLE pretty much. The chat refreshes and takes us to the most recent chats after every few seconds. It’s impossible to read earlier messages having to constantly scroll up. This seems like a simple code fix. I’m really perplexed as to why you are RE
38. [R8] Word Cookies!® 5/5 · US Fun word game: Word Cookies is a really fun game and you don’t even need to have a WiFi connection to play. It’s super challenging once you reach the later levels which is nice if you are like me and don’t want something easy you can beat in 5 seconds. Unlike most apps, you can actually exercise your brain and learn stuff. Additionally, the ads are not excessive like many other games. Sometimes i
