Working again!!

If your purchase of this app is not working, just delete & down load app again. (May want to back up your data first. I didn’t & lost stats.) That solved the problem.
Here’s the whole story…I wrote a complaining review about how when I purchased the app to get rid of constant commercials of that Whiney, needy king, that all commercials, including the option to see commercials for coins, just didn’t work or was not available. Contacted by developers to let them know thru app via support. Did this 3 times & included screen captures. Didn’t hear anything from them. Frustrating.
So I did the only thing I could think of doing. Delete & reinstall. (Solution of other apps) That solved the total ban of ads. Did I keep my purchase? Not sure as yet. That can be resolved other ways.
So if app doesn’t allow you to play any ads when you need the assist & you have purchased the app, try the delete & reinstall.
So… Developers, delete & reinstall is the answer to my problem. Be a bit more responsive, too.

So many ads and alarming amount of background activity

Very little of your time can be spent trying to play the actual game, with all the ads that pop up. And they’re timed ads, so there’s no way to click through them, even if you aren’t at all interested in what they’re selling or EVEN IF YOU ALREADY HAVE WHAT THEY'RE SELLING. I would urge even the most patient and tolerant person not to download this ap, since, even if you don’t mind walking away for a bit while these constant ads play, it seems like there’s a lot of background activity taking place, even while playing the game, causing delays when you’re trying to type your guesses, with huge lags between letters, sometimes even seeming to freeze entirely. I’m not a developer, but I do wonder what is occupying so much of the app’s attention, after signing off on their user agreement and giving permission to god knows what information is being accessed. It’s so bad that it comes to a complete halt at times and crashes entirely. So bad, that I recommend deleting any app that appears to be associated with it, like the ones it advertises, one of which I had considered buying, but now most certainly will not. It the sign of a developer who lacks anything of value to offer, so survives on the sole project of extracting value from others by whatever means is necessary and however possible.

tl/dr: this app is way too expensive — especially the free version. Don’t do it.

Fun game; insane ads getting worse; insults users

When it comes to just playing the game this is the best of 7 Wordle apps I tried. 2 daily games (5-letter and 6-letter) plus other varieties. Hard mode is fun and I like that you are told if your guess is a word before tapping “submit” which saves some time (because they often use some very obscure words that no human has ever used in their life - even the app can’t find a definition sometimes).
That’s where the good ends. First, they think you are stupid. They charge $6/mo to play the 2 daily games without ads! Then they try to convince you to pay $4 to play just the last 3 days of the month ad free. Do people actually fall for this scam? Insulting. To play the classic game ad free is $6 once (no ads forever) - that is reasonable.
Second, the ads are insane and getting worse. I expect ads for a free game, but they play ads way too often. Now they play ads even in the middle of a game! And starting May 2024 they play 30-second ads you cannot stop early (this is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back). “Insane” is the only word to describe the ads. I could write 1000 words on the ad problems. Just trust me and be ready to throw your phone against a wall after you are bombarded with ads. I’m ready to move on to another app since the ads are only getting worse each month.
