I used to love it but I have a galaxy s 5 and I can't use it anymore. I have no access to a menu so the game I was on finished and there's no v way to get to a new game. So you just get one game unless you uninstall and reinstall after each game... how stupid is that? I don't know why the designer doesn't put an accessible menu on there

This was my favourite game on my phone. I had it on several different phones. However, when I upgraded to an Oppo, there is no longer any way to open the menu. This seems to be a problem with all of the better quality, more recent phones. Please find a way to make this game playable again and you will surely get 5 stars for everything again. PLEASE!

I loved this game. Now in my new phone there is no access to the menu and I can't get out of a game without uninstalling and re-installing. Why has this not been fixed. I see this has been a problem for at least 3 years.

Disappointing. Love the concept of this game BUT... The grid doesn't fit on my screen and there is no link back to the menu so i am stuck on the very first game and can't move beyond it.

F70%

I used to enjoy the challenge! Now my new phone, an ASUS ZenFone 4, no longer displays the menu! So no way to end the game and start a new one. Frustrated.

Fetch dictionary doesn't work. Would like bigger font on submitted words . and a dark theme as the eyes can't take the constant white light and shady pattern

E70%
by E####:

Used to work and now it doesn't. Same issue as many others mention: only 2/3rds of the screen visible, can't start a new game and so on and so on. Seems the developer simply doesn't care, so I'm uninstalling and finding a new one. Any recommendations?

Try this on a phone and you can't score the game & find missed words. Solution - play a timed game. Problem - timer stops frequently before reaching zero! Play on a tablet for full benefit of game.

Played the game for years on my Nook, and two years on my S4. On the Note 5, I can't see a third of the grid or access the menu. Very sad. LOVE the game. Recommend it!

Dictionary needs a lot of work. And, weirdly, when I type a T then an M a girl's face appears instead of the two letters. Creepy

Won't work on my Galaxy S6. Used to enjoy this on my previous phones but doesn't work now. About time the developer sorted it out as people have been complaining for ages

R70%
by R####:

Two bugs: (1) can't find options menu to change language and (2) starting a new game is not intuitive. -- UPDATE using Galaxy Note 4 - (no menu button) holding down the App Switch soft key brings up the menu.

E70%
by E####:

Only 2 thirds of the puzzle is visible on my screen and there's no menu button or 'score' button. Was really looking forward to playing.

V70%
by V####:

Looks like a really good game but I am unable to access the menu and only see half of the screen so an unable to play the game. Please rectify the problem so I can play the game and i will change my rating

Too big for screen since updated os. Unusable

Do u not have time to fine tune?

R70%
by R####:

I play this game a lot and have loaded it every time I get a new phone. Years ago it used to work properly, accessing definitions to words I didn't know, thereby increasing my vocabulary. Then that aspect of it stopped working and it has never returned, despite uninstalling, new phones etc. Please put this right and you can have five stars!

Worked great on S5 but no longer works on Note 5. Can't see last column and can't start new game (no soft menu). Please fix the bugs.

I liked this game hence the 4 stars but after completing a game there is no way of starting a new one??? Fix please. Samsung A3

Very limited dictionary. Alot of normal English words not recognised. Otherwise it could be quite good.

R70%
by R####:

Doesn't work on Galaxy S6. Screen won't change from portrait orientation and the game doesn't fit on as a result. Can't play and no ability to exit the game back to the main menu once you're in, so you get stuck with an unusable game permanently in place.

This was a 5-star game on OLD devices. Unfortunately the author has chosen to neglect it. The Grid size goes too big and menu buttons are lost from the screen. It is a pity the author has 'dissed' all his devotees who upgrade their devices. Now 1 Star and UNPLAYABLE!

It's fun and easy to use, but there are a lot of legitimate words that it doesn't accept - and words that should be disallowed that are accepted. It's nonsensical, ridiculous and frustrating. Examples: it allows vagina and the C bomb, but it doesn't accept anus or penis. It says plurals are not allowed but it accepts heaps - like cats, gods, gnus - and doesn't accept some words ending in S that aren't plurals, but it seems to think actually are - eg woos, hers, ours. The worst example I've come across was when it didn't accept EDUCATION!!! These words all used letters in the puzzle, including the middle letter so there was no valid reason for them being rejected.

I love this word game but can't move onto a new game with my new Galaxy S5. The score button isn't on the screen once I've finished finding the words. Fix please!

N70%

I have a Galaxy S5. When installed the app is far too big to fit on screen and so only see a fraction of the interface and then it freezes on the second screen anyway and I can only see the massive radio button for 1-30 and words "builtin the word count" !!!!????

Some words not accepted For example - ADIT and INITIATED Also only accepts ONE 9 letter word. Even when there are as many as 3. And now I've changed my phone to an S6 it won't work. It only displays 6 of the 9 letters and there's no way to access the menu. Used to love this game but can not longer play it.

I like the idea of it. It just does not work

It used to work great, but lately it keeps getting in a modern where the grid is oversized and when you try to bring up the menu, it pops up and goes away. If Ben fixes it, I will try again. Really enjoyed it.

The rules state that you must not use plurals or capitalized words then the app proceeds to score using both.

I thought it had no permissions. Sorry just three stars. I had this on a phone with no permissions I thought. It doesn't seem to spew ads or anything so why the permissions I wonder?

Used to play it on my old Samsung, recently upgraded to a brand new LG G4 - and it won't work! Uninstalled.

I70%
by I####:

In an untimed game. Have found 41 of the 44 possible words. I give up. I've even googled the internet for possible answers but cannot finish. There is no finish option? No menu? If I press my back key it exits the game. Very frustrating. On samsung s5
