Words With Friends

This game is plagued with ads from the moment you first load it up to your very first turn there’s ads. There’s one every time you make a play or complete a word search. They basically want you to buy the ad free version or watch them after every single button press. No thank you, the concept was fun but I’m not watching ads every single move.

Update aug 2024. The app opened the apple app store and bought $9.99 worth of coins with no input from me. I couldn’t stop it and it didn’t require an approval with my fingerprint or anything! Totally hijacked the game on me and all I could do was say NOOOOOO I don’t want this as the sceen did everything on its own. Appealed to Apple immediately. This has to be illegal. I’ll just mention the worst issues. You turned sounds back on by default. Not cool when you try to play in a quiet place and your sounds have always been OFF! I get double notifications when someone has played and it is my turn. My indicator number on the main screen icon just has wrong (by a lot) numbers. So i may have two games where it is my turn but the number on the icon is 17 or some random big number. The main games page has a banner saying I need to claim goals. But I don’t have goals to claim. The claim goals page has the same pink icon look for claiming goals and unlocking premium rewards (which cost points). This is done on purpose I know but it is dishonest and should be changed! There are other color and formatting issues but I’ll leave that for you to debug.

Solo Challenge game is rigged to make you lose repeatedly so you’ll watch countless ads or be driven to buy nonsensical coins. Garbage.

I love this app and have used it regularly for a decade +, now after every turn I have to restart the app because the ads won’t let me close them. This started in the last couple of days. Please help!

Why not give the user the option to purchase the game outright rather than extorting money from month to month to avoid the dreadful ads? I enjoy the game, but not at this outrageous cost to avoid the ads after EVERY turn. I would give this negative stars if possible. 🤬🤬🤬 Purchased the pass and still HAVE ADS!!!!!!! REFUND PLEASE!!!!!

The game use to load quickly, now it’s very slow. Don’t like how long it takes to gain points. Hate the money grab too.

The ads are excessive & no I’m not going to pay for ads free.

Fun but…used to love playing this game, but now there are so congratulatory pop ups and other nonsense pop ups that makes it no fun anymore!

I have been playing for about 10 years. Very frustrating. I can seem to collect rewards anymore ! The icon comes up & I hit on it & the screen gets stuck on claim ! I followed all your instructions to get it working to no avail HELP PLEASE

What hat happened to the Rivals Games? I’m disappointed that it was removed from the app. That was my go to game. Please bring it back!
