2. [R8] 3/5 · US Fun game, too many ads: This is a fun, challenging game. It would be much better if I didn’t have to watch a Royal Match ad after every game.

10. [R21] 5/5 · US U are the best: The best game ever. I love how it is relaxing on plane rides and is super fun. Keep making it better 👏😆!!
11. [R32] 5/5 · US Love this game!!!: I love this game so much its literally so fun! Its good to play anytime. Its no need for wifi. Its a good multi tasking game. I didn’t know some of the words that are here and its cool to learn and play!
12. [R10] 1/5 · US Ads make it unplayable: I'm on level 1800 and I'm uninstalling the game. The ads pop up every 10 seconds. I'm done.
13. [R13] 1/5 · US Too many ads: Can’t even get through two games!
14. [R34] 1/5 · US Overloaded with add: Enjoyed this game up until they started interrupting game play with ads. Having ads during pauses or breaks in the action may be a necessary evil, but there is no excuse for arbitrarily interrupting the action with ads. I’m done with it. Too bad, it was fun until that started.
15. [R47] 3/5 · US Game is fun- ads suck: I had to remove this game and stop playing. The ads have gotten so bad - whether trying to trick you into downloading or hiding the dismiss button or making it so small the you miss with your finger. And then making me dismiss 4 or 5 times… advertisers: I will never download a game that does that in an ad. UPDATE: to their credit, the developer asked for a screenshot of the
16. [R72] 1/5 · US Could be so much fun: The app itself could be great, if it worked properly. Been testing it for several months, and found major issues with the advertisements that are forced on users not paying for the app. Ads automatically open apps or websites, which should NEVER happen (simple cyber security issue). Fake X used to confuse players and open apps or websites (another security issue). After the l
17. [R117] 1/5 · US Excessive ads: This game is loaded in excessive and misleading ads. For instance Royal Kingdom ad it shows is nothing like the actual game. This is a fault on this game and the dev of the other game.
18. [R124] 1/5 · US Sold out: Used to be my favorite app of all time, but the developers either sold out or got money hungry and now the app is infested with intrusive ads that force open other apps on your phone, unskippable 30 ads, and ads that take several clicks to exit out of. Edit: the team claims to want to remove the ads that swap you out of the game but lo and behold, weeks later the same Apple Music and ca
19. [R7] 1/5 · US Bugs!: Your app has bugs. I’ve been playing faithfully to get the level 7 cow without having to spend any money. I’ve done the other animals this way. But this time when the app offers me 100 cow gems to purchase for 250 coins I buy it one time and then the app says I can’t buy any more. it won’t let me purchase it 5 times. It Only lets me buy them once. This has happened every time but once. Tod
20. [R52] 1/5 · US Used to be decent: The game has become extremely glitchy. Takes forever to load, freezes and when you finally finish you may or may not get the stars added to your total. Played it for years, but ready for the proverbial dustbin.
21. [R102] 3/5 · US Tricky: Fun game. However recent update has caused the game to take over 10 minutes to load. It is stuck on “ad loader”. Extremely frustrating.
22. [R173] 3/5 · GB Buggy: Love the game and have played it for a long long time. However it has started to crash for no apparent reason and then repeatedly does so. This has soured what until recently was my go to game
23. [R25] 3/5 · US Issues: I really have enjoyed this game, but I need to delete it from my phone. The developers keep adding “games within the game” and updating so often that the file is just too large. Often, almost daily, I’ll be playing and the speed slows down so much it’s annoying. Or the game tells me I’m not online, but when I switch to another game, suddenly the speed and internet are fine. The file for th
24. [R48] 5/5 · US Fun game. Would be great to have "delete cache" feature: Been playing for years. I don't do anything with the events or animals or such, but the base game itself is great on its own. The app size and document size combined is huge over 1.5 gb. It's likely old images and stuff. Please create a button in settings for "clear cache" or something so we can reclaim space please. Thx!
25. [R224] 3/5 · GB Enjoying but frustrated.: I have enjoyed Wordscapes for years but I am becoming increasingly more frustrated with the frequent updates. Every update makes the game slower to load and slower in the response time of the game. I am happy to play the older game without having more and more features. I have now deleted the game and I can’t see myself playing it again.
26. [R27] 2/5 · US Drj: Fun but many real words are not accepted and the ads while typing in words are terribly annoying
27. [R26] 4/5 · US missing words?: For a game that is all about the english lexicon, they’re missing quite a few words… For example nog, like egg nog and some other ones
28. [R49] 2/5 · US FAKE WORDS: Or so archaic as to be absurd. “Stane” for stone. Why? So stupid. I like a challenge but this is just lazy.
29. [R222] 3/5 · GB A little disappointed: The game doesn’t accept certain actual words. which I find very weird, for example ‘Asia’ wasn’t accepted. For a game like wordscapes it should include all the words from the dictionary which are real actual words. but other than that it’s a fun game to play I’ve been playing for a while as i’m on level 400. however I wish the could update that error, then it would be wayy b
30. [R1] 2/5 · US Just OK: The puzzles are fine But all the extra bells and whistles they added ruined the game. Ad’s kind of suck also.
31. [R37] 1/5 · US Pop ups: I’ve been playing this off and on for about 7 and I finally had enough. I paid $2.99 back in 2019 to remove adds but the pop ups after a puzzle to claim this and that are really out of hand. All I want to do is puzzles. Can’t you set it up to allow people who paid for no adds to choose puzzles and nothing else? No animals, tournaments, prizes, etc. I end up just closing the game when
32. [R69] 1/5 · US This and that: All of the extra things added like the cow this time around are ridiculous! Please stop so we can get the coins and other items needed to solve the puzzles!!!
33. [R44] 2/5 · US Game is Rigged: On the daily puzzle where you earn stars towards coins, they rig it so the common words are bonus words and the difficult words we rarely use are words in the puzzle. In one puzzle, of all the words I entered 26 of them went to bonus words (not words with S At the end). This forced me to use my rockets hints and bullseyes to fill in blanks to solve the puzzle, the equivalent of t
34. [R46] 3/5 · US Fun but has changed: This is one of the daily puzzle games I play every morning. After nearly 5,000 levels completed I’ve changed to only doing the daily puzzle. I’ve noticed it’s become increasingly difficult. They’ve made a change somehow. I like a challenge but it’s taking me too long to complete now so I think it’s time I dialed it back a bit and play the game less often. The side quests of
35. [R70] 3/5 · US daily is ruined, please fix it: I used to have a lot of fun playing this game, mainly the daily. But you guys have ruined it to the point where I end up cheating half the time just to get past it because I don’t care. Go back to the way. It was where finding a word helped you progress to getting the next word rather than forcing me to go to random spots that have no information to help me figure o
36. [R101] 3/5 · US Time to say goodbye to this game for good.: First of all, I am at level 13,681 and have been playing this game since 2018. As other players have mentioned in their reviews, intrusive ads are a bit much to take and three or four tries to exit out of it after you finish a puzzle. Now, you’ve changed the daily dash prize from coins, bees, and other helps to something insignificant to change your anim
37. [R246] 3/5 · GB I keep getting ads: It’s a fun game. And I paid for the no ada bundle. But I still keep getting ads after each play. Annoying.
38. [R19] 4/5 · US Why'd the developers make it 17+: I can't even download the app because of restrictions why did you guys make the app 17+ i can't even play now i would give it 5 stars but now i can't even play it
39. [R54] 5/5 · US Okay what the actual-: So many months ago, I played this game and it was great! But the down side is now I can’t play it because for some reason it’s 16+! Like it’s not even bad it’s just a calming app so I don’t understand!?
40. [R105] 1/5 · US Why: I have played this for a long time and just now the update says you must be 16 years old to play it.
41. [R23] 1/5 · US Adds: The recent update added adds mid level now it is not worth playing
42. [R4] 2/5 · US Bee purchases: Purchases say they are complete. Unable to use any bees. Unacceptable. Recent problem.
43. [R41] 3/5 · US Ugh: Drains my iPhone battery way too much!!! What happened?
44. [R109] 1/5 · US Brilliance Gone Sour: What a shame this game is ruined. I have played wordscapes for years. from a gameplay perspective it is one of the most mentally engaging games out there, but holy smokes You might as well only play it in airplane mode. Ad. After. Ad. After. Ad. After every level, if you close the app and reopen it to check a text you will be immediately met with another ad, then in a matter
