1. [R5] 3/5 · US A word or not a word?: I love word games and home renovation games. This is both. One BIG drawback is sometimes a word counts and in the next game, it won’t. You watch the gold sand blocks melt away as you try real words just to have it tell you it isn’t a word - this time. Another drawback is you never get more than one star no matter how well you do. And Emma needs a star for every little thing!
2. [R10] 5/5 · US Amazing: I really enjoy playing this game to help renovate homes
3. [R30] 5/5 · US Love this game!!!: This is my favorite game ever because it’s doable. You can actually play this game and enjoy it. If you like word games and decorating you will love this game. It has a great story and graphics are beautiful. Other games like this are so hard, you get started but it’s too hard to go on without spending a lot of money. This game is so fair and so enjoyable. You won’t be disappoin
4. [R45] 4/5 · US Put your English Skills to Use: Solve word puzzles to decorate Emma’s amazing house. I love the library. That’s my favorite space in her house. I also love the balcony area with the telescope, the luxe great room with the fireplace and her elegant bathroom. I wish there was an option to skip or remove elements. I would love to remove half a dozen items from the overly busy pool area, zen garden, p
5. [R6] 5/5 · US Love it!: When I got it I thought it would be easy, and I would be finished quickly. But it’s challenging! There are really tough levels and the gameplay is great! Would recommend!! The only downside is the ads, but it’s pretty cheap to get rid of them!
6. [R8] 5/5 · US It’s challenging and fun: I’ve benefited from this because my vocabulary has expanded also your building things. It does take a lot of patience
7. [R9] 5/5 · US Patti: Am enjoying this game, it keeps my mind busy. Puzzles are sometimes a bit harder, but really makes me think more.
8. [R40] 4/5 · US Fun to wordies: I increased my vocabulary playing the game. I have spent a few dollars , but I use an unscramble app when I get stuck.
9. [R1] 5/5 · US Wordington: Great!
10. [R3] 5/5 · US Rate: I love playing Wordington,
11. [R21] 5/5 · US Love: I am having a great time playing this game.Best game ever!
12. [R28] 5/5 · US Wordington: I love this game! It's fun and sometimes challenging!!
13. [R37] 2/5 · US Too many Ads: I enjoy word games yet this game, unlike many other games, has an ad after every single move. Touch any button and there is an Ad before you can proceed. I understand the value of ads, but this game has an abnormal amount. It’s not motivation to buy ad free, for me, it actually causes me to get rid of your game.
14. [R39] 2/5 · US Too many ads: I like the game but you have an ad after every single move. Ridiculous to have this many ads. And NO I’m not going to pay to remove ads. You need to remove them. Maybe let someone get a few steps or give more stars per move. I will be deleting this game again.
15. [R56] 1/5 · US So many ads: Not only is the player forced to sit through an ad after each level, this “game” forces an ad BEFORE AND AFTER EVERY LEVEL. Nice try, developer, I’m not giving you any money…and I hope no one else does.
16. [R76] 1/5 · US Wordington: This was a nice simple game. On the last few months one can’t even get to the first anagram part because of all the adds. I quit!
17. [R60] 1/5 · US Ridiculous: To the team at Wordington, Do you realize that it has been ELEVEN MONTHS since the last update for tasks? It would be nice if your “updates” were in advancing the storyline and tasks rather than challenges and races. It’s been so long since the last task/storyline update that I forgot what was happening. If you guys aren’t interested in advancing the storyline and are only interested
18. [R65] 1/5 · US I have an Idea: Stop adding useless features and small little challenges and continue the story line. It has been over a year since there were new tasks. If you had more than one developer, there would be more tasks. Since there have been none for a long time, it leads me to believe you lack creativity. There are many other games that do not take this long to improve or develop new material. With
19. [R78] 1/5 · US Disgruntled: I absolutely love the puzzles, and have no qualms with how the game is formatted. I do however feel the time between “Tasks” is totally unacceptable. I have waited many weeks, into months, waiting to enjoy the actual Task that are such a huge part of the game. I currently have over 17,000 points, (I assume they are points) that are utterly useless. I love the game but feel like there
20. [R90] 1/5 · US Storyline stops!: I’ve played this game all the way to when Emma has her baby girl. This was several years ago. Bab fixes his place for Erin, whom he hopes to reunite with. Storyline stops there. They never even gave Emma’s baby a name n Bob is waiting in his many gardens for news. Developers keep saying updates are forthcoming! Hah! Been 2 years and nothing!!
21. [R67] 1/5 · US Lies: Bought game and suddenly started getting ads after a year
22. [R71] 1/5 · US I bought the game and am still getting ads: Why am I getting ads when I paid to remove them? It is so frustrating. It’s bad enough that the game constantly asks me for money for various things, but I paid to remove ads and yet I’m bombarded with ads every time I play.
23. [R73] 1/5 · US USED to be my favorite game: This game used to be my favorite game. I played it everyday and recommended to lots of people. I had purchased the no ad version back when it available but they recently changed that to where you have to pay monthly for no ads. It is really expensive to go monthly and it is unbearable to play now with all the ads they have. Sorry to now be deleting this game.
24. [R75] 1/5 · US I lost my money: I’ve enjoyed this game for years, and am thousands of levels in. I paid for ads free back when that was a permanent purchase. It’s quite greedy that I now have to pay every single month to remove ads; basically my money was stolen.
25. [R2] 5/5 · US Super fun but I lost my progress: I played it for like a year and renovated a big part of the house overall. I deleted it and then many years later, I downloaded it again and it saved my progress and data in Game Center. This time, I deleted it again for only a month or two and I completely lost everything. It may be my fault, but I’m just confused how that happened. The game was very fun and chal
26. [R108] 2/5 · US Doesn't save my progress: I have been playing this game for months! Love it! Only game I play, but now it's time to find something else to play. I opened the app and all my progress is gone! I am so sad and upset! I've remodeled the whole mansion and am now helping Bob with his house. How could they?! I'm not willing to start over. Was fun while it lasted I guess.
27. [R112] 2/5 · US WHAT HAPPENED: I’ve been through the whole game!! I was on like puzzle 2,000! I had over 2,000 coins! Now today I open my game and have NOTHING!! It’s starting me from the beginning!! What happened!!??? I want my game back. Please. I don’t want to go through the whole game again. HELP!!😱😱😱😩😩😩😩
28. [R245] 3/5 · US Really great game: This is one of my absolute favorite word games. I play it for at least a few minutes almost every day. I’m only giving it 3 stars because it “freezes” every time I play it. After about 10 minutes it simply stops responding and I have to close out of it and then restart it. Then after another 10 minutes or so the same thing happens again. It’s very frustrating!
29. [R47] 2/5 · US Too many Ads: Way too many very long ads and too many unrecognized words otherwise I love the game.
30. [R113] 2/5 · US Gotten to be worse than I thought: I originally liked the game because of its concept. However, I soon discovered that it’s not very good. The game forces you to play ads after every other level. Also, on several levels, the game refuses to accept common words such as, “and,” which makes no sense since there is an “extra word found” feature that they could put those words in. Also, there isn’t a “
31. [R138] 3/5 · US Fix the Dictionary: This would be a 5 star game were it not for the fact that there are words that work on some levels, but on others it doesn’t. Not even as a bonus word. Doe is just one example. Then there are words that do not work at all. I can mostly 4 letter words. If you can get this fixed, this would be a 5 star game, but this is a big issue for a word game.
32. [R4] 2/5 · US Impossible to win: It sets up the game so you cannot win and have to watch ads to get more card moves. I like the renovation, but if this stays this bad, I will delete it.
33. [R7] 3/5 · US Can’t use coins: It’s a great game. Takes a long time to earn or use a lot of stars to decorate. Also, can’t use coins to buy butterflies, etc to help with words.
34. [R91] 2/5 · US Ugh: This was my favorite game. I made it to over 1,000 levels and STILL haven’t made it back in the house, you need 5 stars for everything once you hit a certain point. I deleted it after playing for 2 years. It’s making you do every single tiny detail and still making them 3-5 stars each. Which you only get 1 star per level completed. This has also been a complaint for 5 years now. Nothing has c
35. [R195] 3/5 · US Wordington: When you do the word puzzles, you don’t accumulate any coins
36. [R33] 3/5 · US Too many commercials: I don’t mind some commercials, but I’m not willing to sit through a bunch of commercials only to be rewarded with very simple design choices and rewards. Game design is pretty easy and basic and design choices are pretty plain. Not a very exciting remodel or restoration with these choices. So not much incentive to sit through the commercials. I’ll be deleting this game.
37. [R11] 5/5 · US Wordington: words & design: I enjoy trying to figure out the words in the crossword puzzle, but the story line has become tedious.
38. [R12] 5/5 · US When?: When do we get new updates to the storyline? I’ve finished the game twice now. The puzzles are great but we need new projects to tackle. How about a cute park and playground for Emma’s new daughter!
39. [R14] 2/5 · US Love this game: This is my favorite game but why is it that the longer you play and play, and be loyal and be loyal, spend your own money to play, then they reward you by GIVING YOU HARD LEVEL AFTER HARD LEVEL? I’ve been a loyal player and that’s what I get? Thanks but no thanks. I’m not playing anymore. And….. I’ve gone as far in the game as I can go and they won’t give me any more. Keep saying
40. [R31] 4/5 · US More tasks?: Are you ever going to have new tasks? I’ve been waiting 2 months! Or should I just delete and start over?
41. [R13] 2/5 · US Won’t delete data: I have been trying to delete my data from this game for months so I can start fresh, and yet even after it says it will fully delete my account when I open the app a few weeks later it’s still exactly as it was before. What’s the point of having an option to delete your account when it literally doesn’t?
42. [R15] 5/5 · US Wordington: Have had the game a few weeks. Today it won’t load... It’s working great now! Thanks for fixing whatever it was!
43. [R19] 4/5 · US Lag: I would enjoy the game far more if the lag wasn’t so bad. It has two things I enjoy… word games and decorating. But the lag is taking the fun down a few levels.
44. [R68] 2/5 · US Take the money don’t give the perks: Paid money for the bank as well as to remove ads. The piggybank is still locked and the Ads have started up again Don’t bother paying for the Piggybank or Ad removal apparently it doesn’t last.
45. [R118] 1/5 · US Everything is gone!: Did the new update. It put me back to the beginning. I was on level 5569. Put my game back the way it was!
