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. [R66] Wordscapes 3/5 · US Going downhill: This game is so full of advertisements & money grabs. They’ve made it so complicated & worry more about beautiful graphics than players. Today one of the weekly games has stopped showing up, no answers as to why. Constant aggravations are making it un enjoyable
5. [R63] 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.
6. [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.
7. [R43] Word Cookies!® 1/5 · US Latest Update Broke Game: The app won’t start after the latest update. It gets stuck on the loading screen and doesn’t move forward from there. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it, and am still experiencing the same issue.
8. [R99] Wordscapes 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
9. [R100] Wordscapes 1/5 · US Problem: When using this app, I always glitches my entire phone system to include overheating the phone, shutting down the wordscape app and glitching all my other apps including phone calls. This happens even when it is the only app that is running.
10. [R40] Word Cookies!® 1/5 · US Rewards system: I have enjoyed this game for several years, even paying for the ad free version, until the last 2 weeks. The cards system is confusing and honestly kind of dumb, but went with it because it didn't affect my judgement. I enjoyed the addition of the honey dippers. But taking away the prize wheel and the ability to get multiple prizes has made this game not one I enjoy. The one pick
11. [R68] Wordscapes 5/5 · US Great game: Love playing Wordscapes!!
12. [R92] Wordscapes 5/5 · US I love this game!!!!: This game is AMAZING. the levels are super fun and challenging, and the fact you can join a team too is great and I love it. Sometimes the levels are kinda hard and hints are sometimes hard to get so you can get stuck on a level for a long time and it’s annoying. Otherwise I really love the game! 😀
13. [R58] Word Cookies!® 2/5 · US Rewards in game: The “reward” system is a mystery. The item you need most is coins, however there are very few ways to earn coins. And as you progress, you earn other types of rewards such as “cards” and “badges” that seem to have no function except to make you feel better? When you seek clarification and explanation for these extraneous ego boosters, they give you the run-around and do not make c
14. [R86] Wordscapes 4/5 · US Gets better everyday: Although there’s growing pains as the game add more and more features, I’ve seen that the developers are working hard to fix bugs and add things that make the game more fun and enjoyable. The best part of this game is meeting awesome people from around the world who become like family via the teams.
15. [R71] Wordscapes 4/5 · US Annoying ads: Fun game, but too many ads and the ads are longer than playing the game. I understand the need for ads, but nomad should be longer than 30 seconds. The ROBLUX ad is excessive.
16. [R91] Wordscapes 1/5 · US Ads: The game is fun but there’s so many pop ups and ads that it’s basically unplayable, I spend longer waiting for an ad to end and get to the next level than I do playing the game and when it does finish it sends you back to the menu where it forces you through a tutorial of how to give them money in some way.
17. [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
