1. [R2] 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!!!
2. [R5] Word Connect ¤ 5/5 · US Fun game: Very fun & educational for spelling! Keeps my brain sharp
3. [R61] Connect Word Association Game 2/5 · US Categories: Categories can be repetitive and so obscure, tailored to technology (lots of initials) or gaming. Would rather see more wide-ranging subjects about geography, animals, and sports
4. [R74] Connect Word Association Game 4/5 · US Love this game, but…: I’ve been playing this game for quite a while and I really like it. I like seeing different ways that things interact with other things. Sometimes I’m completely surprised and only get the answer by using a hint or just buy exchanging tiles. My suggestion is that we can linger just a little longer after we finish a board. I would like the option to look at some of the combin
5. [R3] 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.
6. [R12] Word Connect ¤ 3/5 · US Too Many Ads: Ads loop you to App Store instead of x’ing off.
7. [R68] Connect Word Association Game 4/5 · US Ads, Ads, Ads: I love the game, it's just after every 1st or 2nd row completed, it's an "ad break." If I watch an ad for a hint and solve the row, it will show another ad right after that 🙄. Also, there is no way to save your info and log in should you download it on a different device or pay for no ads.
8. [R82] Connect Word Association Game 1/5 · US Too many ads: Too many ads. Used to really enjoy the game. Today attempted to play the daily challenge and had four ads pop up in a minute. Making it unplayable.
9. [R4] 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.
10. [R19] Word Connect ¤ 1/5 · US Unplayable: Used to be an enjoyable game but they have made it unplayable. You can expect to have to click through 10 screens just to get to the next puzzle. So you spend 3 times as long just clicking to get to the next puzzle as you do play the actual game
11. [R83] Connect Word Association Game 4/5 · US Helps the Brain: This is a great way to help with new words and getting your brain going in the morning. But the reason why I gave it 4 stars is when I reach in the 700 level it is freezing and I can’t continue. I only can play the daily challenge. Please fix the bugs….
12. [R84] Connect Word Association Game 3/5 · US Fun, until it wasn’t: It was fun, despite the ads, UNTIL I reached level 97. It is broken. I closed app, restarted, played level from beginning 3 times. Still broken; unable to complete ‘as is’. Bummer. Sent message to developer.
13. [R30] Word Connect ¤ 3/5 · GB Good game BUT: I enjoy playing this game as it tests my knowledge. However after every single level there’s an advert. I looked into getting ad free version but for £9.99 just for 30 days is way too much money. I wouldn’t happily pay that just the once for it to be ad free. Puts my off wanting to play the game otherwise.
14. [R72] Connect Word Association Game 3/5 · US Game is great, Ads are too much: I really enjoy the game, but the ads are getting to be too much. The App Store says you can pay for no ads, but I’ve searched for the option and haven’t been able to find it anywhere. Initially, I’d get an ad every time I finish a level. Now they pop up every couple of minutes. It’s reached a point where the irritation outweighs the enjoyment of the game.
15. [R112] Connect Word Association Game 2/5 · US Too many ads: Please make a paid version of this game so I can avoid the ads. I quit playing because I was so frustrated with the “3 minutes of playing, 1 minute of ads” cycle. I want to be able to just keep play uninterrupted.
16. [R118] Connect Word Association Game 1/5 · US Used to be fun: Used to be really fun but the ads have become ridiculous. An ad popping up in the middle of a puzzle is crazy. Replying to low ratings saying that they are “working on it” is a cop-out. I’d happily pay $10 to have no ads but they don’t have that option and now you can’t even play in airplane mode all of a sudden. Not worth playing anymore
17. [R37] Word Connect ¤ 1/5 · US Game is not working!: Game not working & support posted on Facebook that 300 new levels available. SUPPORT… check the postings & fix the game!
18. [R57] Word Connect ¤ 1/5 · US It used to be fun: This game used to be fun but now it won’t even open correctly. It freezes as soon as I open the game and force closing it doesn’t help. I even deleted the app and redownloaded it and that didn’t help either. Also, wayyy too many pop ups to close out in the game it’s annoying. This game is ruined for me.
19. [R96] Connect Word Association Game 3/5 · US Glitches don’t let you go to the next level: Love the game but a glitch on the bonus category keeps me from advancing. The answers are pretty obvious but nothing works. Have tried any combination that could remotely be a different answer with no luck. I’m stuck playing the daily challenges.
20. [R106] Connect Word Association Game 1/5 · US Too many ads: Update after developer response: keeping it accessible to everyone doesn’t mean you can’t provide an option TO PAY to remove ads for those who want to pay. And not being able to finish one level because of 42 ads is NOT accessible. And if you can BUY COINS you could BUY NO ADS but you refuse to let your customers do that. There’s an ad every 3 minutes and absolutely no way to re
