Customer Reviews

Amazing new version, minor fixes
I love the new version!!! I love that EVERYTHING gets transferred over from the old app exactly as it was. it even saw that I already paid for no ads previously and that applied to the new version for FREE👍👍 Everything is so smooth and quick! I really like the new interesting way to find random players! I have a lot of random players challenging me because of it! When I have one solo play going and it's my turn to make a move the badge will say 2 when I only have one and no other moves to make. When I'm reordering tiles to prepare a potentially good word to play is glitchy, when I expect to move the right letter I want to it chooses the letter next to it to move. Another that's a little more major is where during the transition of going into chat it will freeze up going from a game into chat. I believe the other fix is turning smart match on or off as an option just like community match and in the old version. In my opinion, community match is much better and more desired by players. I only used smart match maybe 4-5 times in the time I've been playing it for almost 4 years on the previous version. Over all this version is a must to download!!!

Great update, but some oddities...
First, I wasn't even aware of this 'new' app. I play WWF daily and usually auto-download the new updates, but heard today that it's a new app. Not sure why it didn't update and replace my old version, but I had to manually delete the old app and download the new one. Very odd. Maybe because I switched to iPhone 6?

Second, this is a great update overall. Much smoother, cleaner, and snappier. Chat is also much improved, the old chat would hide portions of your longer messages so you had to clumsily scroll which sucked.

Some nuisances:

- The "new" blue strip on the app icon is ugly and needs to go. Totally unnecessary.

- There's no option to disable vibrate when you're notified of it being your turn. Super annoying to have your phone vibrate constantly for game moves. Happy to have the option to do so, but at least present us the option to disable this feature.

- After you make a move, "Create Game" at the bottom of the board flashes annoyingly. It doesn't need to be there in the first place. It's too prominent. But at least don't make it flash/blink.

- The tile bag and word strength features are lame. Tools for cheaters and lazy players. Was better when you had to pay for them which at least somewhat prevented people from using them.

- The ads are all blurry non retina resolution. Zynga shouldn't accept ads not in retina format. It looks tacky.

Right ON!!!
In my personal experience I have found "updates" (no iOS 8 mentioned) to sometimes be worse than the first version. However, this one is superb!!! It is so user friendly, has everything you could want within the app, I.e. Word strength , dictionary, and it tells you when the word is not, well, a "word" which saves so much time! And I have found that it works with the horrific iOS 8 unbelievably well! When I updated to iOS 8 ( which you realllly shouldn't do, just my
Opinion) all of my chat messages within the game would disappear or would appear not to post, as well as my opponents' and I would have to reboot my phone continuously to see them for 1 post and then, again and again. So, thank you "new" words with friends. What a wonderful gaming experience !!! If there were more stars, a definite 10+!!!!!
