1. ★★☆☆☆ TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! I love the ocean!!!! · 20 Feb 2024
   Okay…this game is a waste of time! When I first saw this game in an ad( why I believed the ad!) I thought it was where you could pick how to spell words, but you have spell them! Also, the levels are way too easy. No matter how high up I moved in the levels, the were so easy! I mean my little sister could do it!!!! The only good thing about this game is that you get a lot of coins when you earn them. I don’t mean to sound cruel about this game, it is just that I am so sick and tired of getting fooled by ads! And I am sure I am not the only person who thinks that! Anyway thank you for reading

   my review!😁🙏😁🙏😁🙏 (Note to game creator) I don’t mean to sound annoyed and cruel about your game, but I think I have a way for you to make the game better. You know how some games have multiple little games on them… I thought you could put the game in the ad and some other games like puzzles, color by number, etc to make the game more 🤩. Also I think that there is bug in the app because almost 80% of the time I picked a letter it would it like ten seconds for it to realize I had picked a letter. Just wanted to let you know!😊😊😊

2. ★★★★★ Word Collect 2,500 + Levels Lara a Jolie · 20 Jun 2023
   I really love this game. I read other reviews and decided to try it out. I have not been disappointed. You can make it as calming or challenging as you like. You can play and take your time or you can choose to play against others. You can join a league and work with your team mates to help your league improve and move up on the leader board. You can earn coins to help with hints in the game and only if you want to - you can tap a free button to watch ads and earn more coins. You can tap on a gift box every day and earn free coins. And only if you want to you can watch an ad and open each of t

   he other two gift boxes offered as a choice to open. All in all I have really enjoyed playing this game since I downloaded it. A great way to pass the time if you love word games. I am finding that I am not playing my other word games now that I have this one. Definitely recommend! 😊
3. ★☆☆☆☆ Advertising is totally false barblibrarian · 9 Jun 2021
   I play this game and enjoy it. It is excellent and wonderfully designed. But, every day I play other games where this game is advertised. I see the ads and know the examples of the game shown in the ad is absolutely false and has no resemblance to the actual game. Doesn’t this matter to anyone? Someone explain to me - what advantage do the game developers have in falsely advertising an excellent game as being something it is not? Why show example games that are not included in the actual game? Does it amuse you to lie to potential game players? Then, also tell me - Does the world just accept t

   more

   hat everyone lies and think it doesn’t matter? Everyone must download this game and realize how the ads were all lies, but they go ahead, play the game, and give the game 5 stars. You say, who cares it’s just a game. I say it always matters when people lie to us to get something from us. Our world is now stuffed full of liars. People whose integrity matters lie to us every day. Go ahead and teach your children that lies don’t matter in small things and soon the lies will pile up and become large lies that cause chaos and violence. I prefer honesty in all things - even game advertising. I am deleting this game from my device. I challenge you to do the same. Play a game where the developers are not so ashamed of their game they lie in advertising to trick people into playing their game. The people who develop this game aren’t worthy of our support. They are liars in small things. Are they liars in big things? Now, can you believe the response I got? No mention of anything to do with advertising. I think this business is truly hurting for any kind of integrity.

4. ★★★☆☆ The simple thing you do is wrong Loquacious_1 · 28 Oct 2020
   The tons of pop ups are unbearable in the free version to the point of seeming more harassment than friendly offers. I turned off notifications for this app and yet they keep coming. This is a bit aggressive for my liking or for a word game. I feel like uninstalling and may do so at this rate. The gameplay is okay but is geared toward generating income more than fun. Note that it isn’t being ad supported that is annoying and I certainly know how businesses generate funds for having handled billing for ours, but it’s how frequent and obtrusive they are. To stop ALL notifications I had to do so

   more

   by sliding the last notification to find the setting to finally get them to stop. Why was this option tucked away from all the rest of the notification toggle switches? It’s not that a company conducts business to make money as much as how they go about it. Assaulting our senses isn’t my idea of the best business practices. To get me to pay you must be considerate and see my side of things too. Make the ads smaller, make them close as easily as they open, and do not ruin our fun by running an ad at every opportunity in the game. This game feels as if the actual game is closing all the ads as they come at you like a pack of ninjas.

5. ★★★☆☆ The good and the not-so-good Clicker44 · 22 Aug 2020
   I’ve been playing for a long time and play everyday as I listen to a book on tape or watch tv and I keep coming back to play, but there are some things that really bug me. 1. After you win so many games, you “win” the opportunity to buy coins. That’s not a win. 2. So many made up words! When I accidentally find one because it’s the only letters that fit and then click on it to find the meeting, I get the message, “we can’t find that definition right now”, as if they are ever going to find it. It’s frustrating to get to one last word only to find it’s not really a word. 3. Word collecti

   more

   on award. You never win! I’ve played the game over a year and never won. Supposedly, when you collect 5 of the designated letters, they are added to the word collection, but in fact, they only replace a letter already there. I took a screenshot of my last two games and there is literally no difference in the puzzle, just more points, which means nothing as far as I can tell. If I could insert that screenshot here, I would. So, in summary, for a free app it keeps your mind working and is fun to complete levels, but there’s no impetus to buy more coins or win at anything.

6. ★☆☆☆☆ Where is the game I downloaded? Lrondin348 · 17 Aug 2020
   I downloaded this game because of an ad that popped up during another game that I was playing. It looked really interesting to pick out words out of a puzzle of letters. Where is the game that I downloaded? This is a totally different game. I started play hoping that I would get to the level that included the game I wanted. I am now on level 150 and still no. So let me review this game. First of all it is addicting. That’s it said it is also very frustrating. What is the use of collecting piggyback coins if you have to ultimately pay for them? Also the music is mind numbing! You have to go tot

   more

   ally out of the app into settings to shut it off. Lastly amount of ads is crazy. I get you’re trying to sell other games but showing two and three ads at a time it’s totally distracting and counterintuitive to the mind sharpness that this game is supposed to promote. At least show different ads! Of course we have to pay money to remove the ads. I lost interest in the game because of these negative aspects. Playing is supposed to be fun not annoying. Developers please make some changes. Update: I received an answer from the developer. They should develop a game called Word Salad because that’s what the answer was. No issues were addressed. No reason why I got a totally different game than advertised. No problems were solved. I deleted the game.
   Developer reply · 19 Aug 2020

   Hello! We’re sorry to hear that you found an ad for our game to be deceiving. We will bring this up to our marketing team so it can be addressed. We are also sharing your feedback with our developers so they can keep it in mind when making improvements for future updates. Thanks for giving our game a try!
7. ★★★☆☆ I want to like it more Cinemabuff · 28 May 2020
   I really wanted to give this game five stars, but I can’t. The game is fun and addictive, but here are some issues. First of all, the darn tiles are too close together, so if you don’t go slow enough, you may leave a letter off, or, as in most cases, add a letter you do not want. It’s a real pain. When I go slow to make sure I am spelling the word correctly, I often lose a letter or even get an extra letter added. Give us more space, please! Second, you can get points for extra words, but only if all the words that length are not already filled in. For instance, say you have filled all your fo

   more

   ur letter words in but would like extra points for another four letter word you thought of. Tough luck, no dice! Third, the developers offer no way out of an accidental game you are playing. For instance, I, personally, do not want to play against an opponent, but I somehow tapped a button that put me into a competition. No way out, and I don’t like that. If you want competition, great, but you ought to be able to decide if you want to compete or not. It’s a game that is fun and challenging, but it definitely needs some tweaking.
   Developer reply · 29 May 2020

   We're sorry to hear that you feel that way! Lots of our other players love this game, so it really worries us that you're having so much trouble. If you get a chance, please send over your feedback using an in-app message so we can get a better idea of how we can improve. Thanks!
8. ★☆☆☆☆ Misspells basic words and doesn’t recognize others as words at all. Satan'sfinest · 16 Apr 2020
   This game is ok in concept, I suppose, but it’s extremely slow and easy and there are so many mistakes that it becomes more frustrating than fun. There are a ridiculous amount of words that it just doesn’t recognize, even as bonus words, some of which are just the plural form of words it does recognize. (Some of which were even recognized in previous levels) Even worse, some of the words it is your object to find are misspelled, so unless you think to spell a perfectly normal, easy word incorrectly, you may get stuck on a level. (And just so you don’t think I’m the idiot misspelling words and

   more

   then blaming the game, I’ll give you one of the examples I remember: tatoo. That was a difficult one to figure out, bc the only ACTUAL 5 letter word spelled with the letters given was not recognized by the game, again even as a bonus word, and I didn’t think to simply misspell a very common and simple 6 letter word in order to make it 5 letters.) The fact that it professes to calculate iq is very obviously a gimmick as well. For one thing, one must wonder how accurately a game could gage one’s iq that cannot even correctly spell tattoo. Once I had encountered misspelled words a couple times, I quit the game and found an alternative, of which there are too many to waste time with this.
   Developer reply · 16 Apr 2020

   Hello! We're sorry that you did not enjoy your time playing. We strive to make our game as error-free as possible but sometimes an error slips through the cracks. The issue with "TATOO" is a known issue and our developers are working on getting it fixed as quickly as possible. If you ever come across any errors in the future, we recommend grabbing a screenshot and reporting it to our Support Team immediately. This will allow it to be corrected. Thank you for playing and for your help!
9. ★★★☆☆ Change the ads to make it look like your actual game FOXIEROXIE#PUGS · 23 Jul 2019
   I rate the game itself as a 3 star because although it’s a good game and good concept, there are so many other games just like it now-a-days, seeing the same thing over and over again gets boring but overall, it is still a good concept. However if I was to rate the ads y’all make for this, it would be a -5 star because I originally downloaded this game because I thought (from seeing from the ad) that this was a word unscrambler game, like there was gonna be an X amount of letters, scrambled up at the top of the screen and I had to see how many words I could get from those scrambled letters. Yo

   more

   ur ad made it look like it wasn’t one of those typical “drag your finger from letter to letter”, it made it look different and original, which made me happy, so I downloaded it, less than 5 seconds of opening the game, I deleted because I realized that y’all made the ad look better than the actually game, one thing I absolutely CAN NOT stand is when game developers make a game and the ads for that game, are nothing like the game itself, and btw, last time I checked, false advertising is against the law... fix the ads pls🤷🏼‍♀️

10. ★★☆☆☆ Not Good jaloisie · 28 Jan 2019
    For format and responsivity this app is excellent. Unfortunately, it is a ‘game’ based in language and in this respect it fails miserably. This is not a crossword so that the words chosen are particular to the words they must spell through. No, these words are all independent of be another and therefore any word of the required length should suffice. They do not. Further, it must be a rather peculiar dictionary that as a secondary issue identifies only certain words as legitimate (and therefore ‘bonus’ words, whatever that means!). There are words accepted that are not words in my diction

    more

    ary or thesaurus. And there is of course the issue of unacceptable words, deemed not-words and dismissed out of hand. Next to last, the nonregistering of some entries causes problems when, at wit’s end, a hint is asked for and it turns out to be a word thought to have been rejected. Last, and simply annoying, are the peremptory instructions offered when, for instance, a ‘bonus’ word is duplicated in a attempt to see if perhaps it really might work. (See previous critique for source of this action.). As much as I have loved some aspects of this app I have today deleted it because I find no fun in playing it as a guessing game. TYVM

    We apologize that you don't think our game is fun. Our game draws from word pools used by word games like Scrabble. Some of the words that appear (especially on later levels) may be old or unusual, but still accepted by the game. We strive to make games that our players enjoy, and would love to hear more of your feedback. Please feel free to message us from the app, or email us at support@platinumplayerllc.com!
