HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (4.6 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Worse after an update11%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I don't like this new version of the game.
★★★★★ I get warnings from Apple that the game has to be updated to run on iOS 11.
★★★★★ If not updated next os will make it unusable.
Lost data, sync, backup8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Their gone and NO way to retrieve them.
★★★★★ 2 years ago when my total score was 18,720,00 I hit the wrong key and lost my game.
★★★★★ Lose all your points if you can't figure out one word???
Missing features8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Their gone and NO way to retrieve them.
★★★★★ Hate to lose my count but am shocked at their lack of response.
★★★★★ I like this game and play it almost daily; however, I have to agree with other reviewers as common words are not accepted. The dictionary the game uses does not include words like "gay" or even "fart", but it does…
Price and subscription6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If you haven't purchased the game, don't waste your time or money.
★★★★★ However, It will allow the word for something archaic like a 15th century token that was used as a form of money!
Wrong or poor results6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ 2 years ago when my total score was 18,720,00 I hit the wrong key and lost my game.
★★★★★ Censorship is vile, ugly, and wrong where free speech, open mindedness, and creativity are allowed to flourish...even encouraged.
★★★★★ I've been playing this game for a long time, and suddenly there are the most ridiculous inane useless words.
No customer support6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ No warning, no chance to say no to wanting a new game and now no customer service.
★★★★★ No response from support.
★★★★★ I wrote to them over a month ago but to date no response.
Bugs, things not working5%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Since I got 26.3 you have to end every game and start completely new. Meaning you don't have any streaks of games where the points add up game to game. It starts over brand new every time. For as long as 26.3 has been…
★★★★★ What bugs me is that it suddenly stopped allowing me to resume a game.
★★★★★ I wrote to them to say one of their puzzles does not work, the one that uses maasss.
Limits, credits, locked features5%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have really enjoyed this game despite a somewhat limited vocabulary.
★★★★★ However, It will allow the word for something archaic like a 15th century token that was used as a form of money!
★★★★★ I use it because if one good reason: no time limit gives me the option of continuing to work until I have all the words.
