  1. [R3] Wordington 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. [R9] Wordington 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.
  3. [R10] Wordington 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
  4. [R14] Wordington 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
  5. [R1] Wordington 1/5 · US Impossible play: Fun game but there's an ad for every round and after every round add add add that's all you get with this game too bad
  6. [R13] Wordington 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.
  7. [R15] Wordington 3/5 · US Too many ads: The game is fun but waaaaay too many ads. That’s why I’m deleting it.
  8. [R16] Wordington 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.
  9. [R5] Wordington 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
  10. [R7] Wordington 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?
  11. [R12] Wordington 3/5 · US Problem: I am having trouble not getting the stars after I do the puzzle. Also I have two stars that I can’t use.
  12. [R29] Wordington 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!
  13. [R24] Wordington 3/5 · US Rate: I love this game it's just frustrating that it takes so long for tasks to be available.
  14. [R26] Wordington 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!
  15. [R28] Wordington 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
  16. [R30] Wordington 3/5 · US They need more content and the app often freezes after 4 or 5small puzzles.: I’ve only been playin this game for a few months and have gotten to the end of their content. It comes out in dribs and drabs, every 5 or 6 days. They could have a note that pops up and the action the efforts they are making and inform us whether the app has a future or is the story ready to conclude.And another thing the
  17. [R25] Wordington 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.
  18. [R66] Infinite Word Search Puzzles 3/5 · US Fun game but SO many ads: I love this game. However, the ads make it almost unbearable. I used to have an ad once every few levels. Now, it’s LONG ads every other level, if not every single level. I understand needing ads to financially support a platform, but my goodness, ads that take forever and a day to get through every other level is obnoxious.
  19. [R37] Wordington 1/5 · US Lies: Bought game and suddenly started getting ads after a year
  20. [R40] Wordington 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.
  21. [R46] Wordington 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.
  22. [R52] Wordington 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.
  23. [R31] Wordington 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
  24. [R43] Wordington 1/5 · US New tasks: It has been 3 months since any new tasks or anything to do with the story has been available. Instead, they have put a card collection into play. Now it has been 5 months since any new tasks have been released! Not even the same game !!!! This is not the game that is advertised! They no longer have a story line and with ads after every single play, it is not worth playing!
