User Reviews

Wordus is praised for a challenging, addictive word puzzle that's easier and lighter than some rivals. However, pervasive ads hinder the experience, with frequent ads continuing after purchases and several restore/login issues across devices. Some users still value the ad-free option, but reliability problems with restoration and ad behavior are the main complaints.

Pros

Engaging, challenging word puzzle that makes you think
Not bloated or slow compared with other similar games (e.g., NYT Wordle-style apps)
Addictive and absorbing gameplay that's easy to pick up for a wide audience
Some players find value in the ad-free purchase and consider it worthwhile

Cons

Too many intrusive ads (frequent, after every game), with many reviewers calling it adware-like
Ad-free purchases often do not restore across devices or after reinstall, causing frustration
Login/restore issues on new devices; inability to recover purchases reliably
Ads and browser links raise privacy/security concerns and appear to violate user expectations or terms of service

I like this game, enough that I paid for the ad free version. I'm still getting ads on my phone (not on my iPad). I can't deal with all the ads, so I don't play on my phone. I even tried uninstalling, and was willing to buy another ad free version, but the app tells me I've already got the ad free version - not on my phone! it's frustrating. good game though.

I like this app and it's not as bloated and slow as I think the original New York times one is. here's the problem. the app is now opening browser links apparently for ads which I'm not touching. that's probably a violation of Google's terms of service and certainly a security risk to users. it looks to me like the developers got greedy and are simulating advertising clicks.
