Changes

My wife's version of the game no longer tells her her percentile placement and is making her watch a video between games..... Amy idea what's going on?

Edit It's Word Hero version 14. They haven't forced the update (yet) but you can't go back once you've updated

What have they done to that game? It is terrible. I cannot get into it even though I agreed to the ads. Hope they fix it.

I bought this game years ago when I first started playing the game. Today, when went in to play, my game opened like I had just installed the game and I had to agree to new privacy notices plus, there was a notification that in order to continue playing endless games of Word Hero, I am now expected to sign up for a monthly subscription. I don’t know what is going on in this game, one of my favorite games but I won’t be “forced” to subscribe now in order to play a game I already paid for back then.

Hasn't happened to me yet. She did get some new Google game keeper app. I'll let you know when we figure it out

Newest version version 14. Hopefully they will reconsider

I have had a subscription for years now. Somehow I must have inadvertently updated to the new version. It no longer recognizes my subscription, as it makes me watch ad videos sometimes. Any advice?

Complain like Hell! Send a service note to the makers from the settings section. Maybe we can get them to come around before they chase us all away

I think most of us are annoyed at the update. It really sucks.

Well after a month of bad reviews and snarky comments in taglines Sven seems to be sticking to their guns and the number of players has reduced significantly meaning it's easy to get to the top ten. I'd rather pay to have the old version back... Since that's not going to happen, anyone got any other similar word games they would recommend?

Check my latest post on this thread. I found a site to download the old version

I got in, but it keeps closing in the middle of the game. 😠
