games arent bad but man does it eat battery fast
- Randall Stephens · v6.35.0
purple connections 🤬
- Donald · v6.35.0
Totally addicted to Wordle and Connections. The kids and I have a chat group called NYT, dedicated to posting our daily scores
- Debra Melchert · v6.35.0
Best way to spend 5 minutes of your day
- Kelsey Echelbarger · v6.35.0
the new adverts have lost it a star but the basoc games are fun distractions while waiting
- J Boxx · v6.35.0
I bought a 24.99 subscription for NYTGames here. on my account it says I have no subscription even though I have paid. I can play them on my phone but I can't access them through the web. so I want my 24.99 back so I can purchase my subscription the proper way, straight through the NYT website. Do NOT purchase any subscription through the app
- Hannah · v6.35.0
Love the Spelling Bee, fairly gets your brain thinking!
- Barry Cochlan · v6.35.0
Can't log in with my subscription but logged in on the news app. Latter complains about no connection but logs me in and serves pages. This app says nothing, recognizes an incorrect password, accepts the correct one but doesn't acknowledge the login or allow me to play games
- Brian D · v6.35.0
3$ a month??? When it's enough? Is this your primary source of income? Why not 50¢? Why anything at all???
- Luka Koprivica · v6.35.0
The app is free... to purchase only. Putting ads, daily restrictions AND a paywall if you want to progress is pretty misleading when you present the app as free.
- Madi T
Love them. Especially when I score high or win outright.
- Ruth Joy Møller (Ben-Adir) · v6.35.0
the free games are awesome. There are even some free crosswords.
- Arlo Ames · v6.35.0
fun one
- Linda Tieman · v6.35.0
challenging
- Kandy Pham · v6.35.0
Love it!
- TABITHA CHRISTMAS · v6.35.0
good daily brain stretch
- Lost Asura · v6.35.0
on free version, ads block analysis.
- Dan · v6.35.0
crashes my phone at random. when I open it there's a fully glitched screen and I can't even use the home button. I have to lock the screen, sometimes repeatedly to get out of the app at all. you can only play like 3 games for free anyway. edit: it is updated to the latest version, and I can't even access the app to report a bug, nor can I take a screenshot of the issue. just a plank blue page when I try to load the app. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well.
- Holly G · v6.35.0
an amazing app
- Caleb (Alear)
fun daily challenges that keep me close to friends by sharing stats. connections is the best 👌
- Christine Kealey · v6.35.0
I like the morning games they recommend but some of these are pay-to-win
- Gary McQuay
i paid for this but google is blocking access
- Mary Lentine · v6.25.2
Half of the puzzles are locked behind a paywall, I hate the connections puzzle as they often have to cheat using word-pairs, non-english words, and literal non-words. The spelling be is "how many words can you find" but you're limited to 3 and it doesn't tell you that. Overall, you're better off finding other game apps that do each puzzle type separately. I'm not willing to pay for puzzles that are only "hard" because the creators cheat.
- Bryan Perras · v6.35.0
Good but it doesn't sync well so streaks don't get proper credit for the Midi
- Jason M · v6.35.0
brilliant games
- graham mckenzie · v6.35.0
l love Wordle. lt is a true challenge!
- Donna Lee Mager · v6.35.0
Checking bot analysis goes to a bright white screen briefly, even in dark mode. Super annoying, needs to be fixed.
- Jake Sanchard · v6.35.0
Fun to pass the time.

- Andrew P. · v6.35.0
amazing selection of games👌🏾, beats scrolling through social media
- Motolani Oyeyemi · v6.35.0
uhhmm.. so like two stars.. yeah so like I installed it, it didn't load and kept switching the direction of my screen, I restarted by tablet, I force stopped the app, I cleared it's data and storage, an everything. still didn't do anything. I genuinely was so excited to use this app but it just isn't working.
- Avril Barley
It still has great games and it's getting better all the time. Personally, I like the stats and badges added to the games.
- Elise Henry · v6.35.0
Requires subscription. 7 day free trial after which it's $5.99/mo. There are plenty of free apps!
- B T · v6.35.0
good fun
- Dillon · v6.35.0
absolutely love this app
- Isa Iglesias · v6.35.0
I look forward to these games everyday. They are great for keeping my mind active.
- Dianne Doyle · v6.35.0
My husband and I compete on this app everyday. I find it keeps my mind sharp and makes us both boast about how many words and panagrams we have.
- Sue James · v6.35.0
Hope there's a chance to add more games to this one.
- Naufal Muhammad Haiqal · v6.35.0
used to be 5 stars until wordle started re-using previous solutions
- Andrew Cranley · v6.35.0
When I reported an issue with the app recently, I got a prompt and courteous reply from staff. The bug was reported to developers, who fixed it a few days later. Good work! Update: the app now has ads and is gradually restricting more content for non-paying users. As this continues, my rating will decrease accordingly.
- Joe Hails · v6.29.0
badges don't light up correctly when viewing stats after the game. today in connections I got 'perfect puzzle' and 'purple first'. it did increment and give me the badge for purple first but it was grayed out. perfect purple was lit up correctly. it also lit up the reverse rainbow one, but I did not get that today.
- Jacob Smith (WilyHawk) · v6.35.0
great fun
- Pat · v6.35.0
I play multiple games almost every day!! Love this app ❤️
- Karen Ellis · v6.35.0
They make it difficult to unsubscribe. Just another greedy corporate app that gives you the run around when you try to cancel. DON'T SUBSCRIBE. Take me off this app.
