1. [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
2. [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
3. [R61] 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
4. [R63] 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.
5. [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.
6. [R66] Word Collect 3/5 · GB Excellent Game: This is a great game for passing the time. I’ve enjoyed playing it, but unfortunately there’s a little bar at the bottom of the page showing adverts and if you spend too long trying to figure out the next word the damn advert pops up and fills your screen then you have to hit x to exit. It’s the only thing spoiling the game. It would be nice to have a support button too.
7. [R100] Word Collect 2/5 · GB Okay: As stated by others it starts off great and then the ads start rolling in and if it’s not the ads it’s the pop ups for in game purchases I understand the ads make them money but for me it’s very off putting
8. [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.
9. [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.
10. [R80] Word Collect 1/5 · GB Game levels reset: I have been playing this game for quite some time and reach til level 958. My phone dies and after my phone is charged I open this app just to see that the game has taken me all the way back to level 793.
11. [R90] Word Collect 1/5 · GB Why the change?: I’ve been playing there for a few months. 2 days ago I started getting an ad after every game. Today it’s an Apple ad after every 3 moves. That’s it I’m done. I’m on level 366. Why now? It was such a great game to keep my mind ticking over. Nobody will play this if the adds come up every 3 answers. Hoping this isn’t a greedy developers and is an error. I won’t play again until it’
12. [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
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. [R82] Word Collect 2/5 · GB Stressful!: This game has deteriorated terrible over last few months. I have been playing for several years and am in a team. Long standing players have left over the way we are being treated: including paying for extras which you do not get and refunds not being automatic. They are making so many alterations to the game play that do not work. It’s not pleasurable at all anymore.
15. [R64] 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
16. [R114] Word Collect 1/5 · GB App doesn’t load...: The app hasn’t been able to load for days. Also there are way to many adverts to make this game playable. Also I had to get rid of 9 pop ups just to play a game. Yes 9! So I am deleting it!!!
17. [R74] Word Collect 1/5 · GB Shocking: Spend more time closing ads and the auto open App Store than actually using the game . Literally couldn’t even finish 1 puzzle without an add popping up ! Then there’s the constant hounding for buying boosts , side games …. It’s ridiculous
18. [R104] Word Collect 1/5 · GB Ridiculous volume of ads: I expect games to have ads, but this is just silly. You play a round for maybe 60 seconds, then it forces you to watch ads several mins long before you can continue to the next level. It got old quickly.
