★★★★ Judy Eaton Martin 4/18/2025

★★★★ jtodora 3/2/2025 v2.7.6
There are more ads than there is game. Terrible experience.
★★★★ Tammy Burman 12/7/2024 v2.7.3
Ran out of game 6 months ago and it keeps saying new games coming, when are they coming. If I could give this a game a zero I would. Sound familiar morons.
★★★★ Chifufani 11/21/2024
I would give this app zero stars if I could.. I was almost level 200 but I noticed I needed to update the app, so I did and it's a completely different game now and it started me on level one.. This Word Calm app used to be an actual word game where it gives you a set amount of letters and with those letters you create different words. Now, it's not a word game at all for me, it's a tile match game, where you have to match 3 of the same tiles at a time to clear the board.. Smh.. I uninstalled
★★★★ Megan Gilliland 10/12/2024 v2.7.3
this is not a kids game, it's more for adults because of the words nude, naked and bra, plus swearing also in it, y'all can do much better than that and also the ads need to change as well, the one called My Drama needs to be booted off, because it is not a worthwhile ad, please fix the game
★★★★ carol grizzaffi 4/27/2024 v2.7.1
I've been playing this game for years. Among levels 6000 I believe period it throws me off and freezes up a lot. I'm ready to uninstall it because it's really annoying.
★★★★ Lois Heichberger 3/31/2024 v2.7.0
Too many ads, the bee game actually takes 2 ads to play, each time!! Forces you to keep buying ad removal. Points don't add up very fast. Penalized from stars if using a booster. Ridiculous. Doesn't except words that are in the dictionary. Only what the game wants to use. Worst word game for these reasons. But I'm in a reward game with this App. Also the shuffle button in center of letter circle is in the way of forming words without an error, for the devil advocate game. It links wrong letters.
★★★★ Dawn Makarewicz 3/28/2024 v2.6.8
*********WARNING*************DO NOT DOWNLOAD GAME!FRAUDULENT CHARGES OUT OF MY PAYPAL THROUGH GOOGLE PAY! IT IS RATHER UNFORTUNATE THAT APPS ARE ALOUD TO MAKE FRAUDULENT CHARGES THROUGH GOOGLE PAY INTO A PERSONS PAYPAL ACCOUNT! DRAINED THE ACCOUNT! SCAMMING MO-FO'S SHOULD BE PULLED FROM GOOGLE PLAY STORE!
★★★★ Ann Schwiesow 3/18/2024 v2.6.8
The game is fine. It's the ads. The At&t ad and the sponsored ads that lead to Amazon are examples that I have yet to find a way to escape from. If you close it out, you lose your opportunity for rewards for several sets. These are definitely not thirty second ads. I've played for a long time, but it's become more frustrating than fun.
★★★★ Pam Pam 2/20/2024 v2.6.7
I haven't Uninstalled it yet.This game has so many bugs. It freezes so that you have to shut down and re open. It will try to go online and not be able to. I don't remember all these problems on the original game.
★★★★ Grant Walters 1/26/2024 v2.4.9
Too many ads....that are impossible to close.
★★★★★ Jo 1/15/2026 v2.7.7
It's the most amazing game to play but there are way too many ads so I am uninstalling
★★★★★ Evan Walshaw 9/6/2025 v2.7.7
I don't know why I even bother these days. The game itself is fun and addictive, but every time an Ali Express ad comes up, the whole game reboots. This is an annoyance that I'm feeling completely apathetic towards. Five stars without AE ads and others of it's ilk.
★★★★★ BRENDEN CROUS 6/16/2025 v2.7.7
Why don't you rather make this an advertisement game. Try making 5 minute ads. There is more ads than game time
★★★★★ June Williamson 5/15/2025 v2.7.6
too many adverts and they don't pay out coins when you win the tournament
★★★★★ suli ali 10/14/2024 v2.7.3
Very long ads that make the game boring to play. I am about to uninstall because of this. I don't mind ads but make them short ones.
