Wordfeud for iOS is here
After about four months of development, Wordfeud for iOS is finally out. A big thanks to everyone who helped with final beta testing.
It spent almost exactly one week waiting to be reviewed by the Apple people (which seems to be the norm these days). Thankfully, it was approved on the first attempt.

Congrats man! I love this game compared to Words with friends (it sucks soo much on Android)
Now I’m going to get everyone to switch over!
Hi. How do I get notifications when the person I play with has made his draw? When it’s my turn?
I probably said no when I started using it…
I do have an iPhone 4.
go to settings and then to notificaTIONS
I’ve been playing the game for quite some time now and it would be great to have some statistics, won/lost, highscore, best word etc and perhaps à ranking system like in golf. 🙂 That would be cool!!

I’m on Android an playing with my wife, who is on iPhone 4. This is great!
However, it seems the iOS app doesn’t notify when it is her turn to play.
Hi!
Good job on geting this app on the iPhone! Awesome work! Will I be able to challenge friends that use the Android version?
Thanks
I love this game! It is better than Words With Friends on almost every respect. The biggest draw for me is the fact that I can choose to use the SOWPODS word list; this is something that WWF and Scrabble is lacking, so well done to the developers of Wordfeud for giving us the choice. However, Wordfeud crashes a lot (v1.2.2) so I hope this will be fixed soon.
Better than words with friends, but needs sound effects, shake to shuffle, and selectable color themes. All the mixed colors together on a darker one makes it harder to view what your working with as far as tiles already placed. Needs a FB connect feature as well.
Do not do any of the above. Adding things like this will dumb it down and add flash when flash is not needed.
Feud is amazing. Hands down gets the most use out of any app on my phone aside from email. Considering I am such an Android whore, this says a lot!
I totally agree with Dave. The things Ibanks wants to change are some of the things that make feud better than wwf. I like the background color and the shuffle button. I HATE shake to shuffle! Great job!
I also agree with Dave. If I wanted any of that crap, I would use WWF. The UI and functionality are prefect the way that it is. I think he’s commenting just for the sake of criticizing (or maybe visa versa).
First! Seriously, congratulations. Now those i*hone users can see what a REAL Scrabble game looks like… NOT that crap Words With Friends
Great game on the iPod touch but the notifications are random. I am not always notified when someone has played if I have the screen closed/minimized. No ingame sounds either. Besides that it’s a great game.
Awesome! But why iOS 4.0? I know it’s ridiculously outdated, but I still have an iPod Touch 1st gen.
Could it ever be possible to see a iOS 3.0 version?
Tengo el mismo problema!! actualización para el iOS 3 por favor!!
Yes I need this too! I have an iPhone which was too slow on iOS 4. I downgraded to 3.1.3 and the phone is lightning fast. No support for Wordfeud for iOS 3.1.3. Please Wordfeud make a iOS 3 compatible version!!!
Everybody who agrees that there should be a Wordfeud version available for iOS 3.1.3, please vote here:

The more votes it gets, the more likely the Wordfeud developers might actually make a iOS 3.1.3 version. Thanks!
Thanks, been looking forward to this.
Bravo, and thank you for getting this on the iOS.
Any chance on a version for WebOS??
Why won’t the notifications show up on the iPhone?
@Wendy: Make sure you’ve enabled notifications. Go into the iPhone settings panel, and tap “Notifications”. Make sure it’s switched on. On the same screen, scroll down and tap “Wordfeud” and adjust the notification settings to your liking. I recommend enabling at least “Badges” and “Alerts”.
The complete family is playing this game. We love to play it, in Dutch. My husband and I bought also the pro-version without advertising.
Sometimes there are words we want to play, but the program dus not approve them, such as rose (is a pink color / or a alcoholic drank).
Whenever you need Dutch beta-testers, let us know!
We have some more wishes :-).
Perhaps it is an idea when a player wants to add a word in in dictionary, others have to vote first. When there are enough people who vote “Yes” then it will be automatically be add.
The same with words who arent correct. A user can mark that word, as not existing and the others have to vote also.
Just an idea.
I agree that the Dutch dictionary seems to be rather limited. I hope that there are plans to use a larger list. Even the word ‘frans’ (which is Dutch for ‘French’) was not accepted! Or the word ‘quid’. Or a very important number of verb forms.
I do not always understand the scoring either. Wordfeud gives me higher scores than my own calculations. It seems that DL, DW, TL, TW multipliers have effects even if they have been used before? And even then it does not seem to add up.
Oops, you can ignore the second paragraph of my previous comment; apparently the higher score was because I also got points for the remaining letters of my opponent.
I have the game for the iPhone, but do not see any button to “swap” tiles. I notice that is also the case in your pic here. My friend who plays with me says he has such a button next to the shuffle button. Am I missing a button that has been included someplace else?
@Lakesidepeople, try tapping the menu button 🙂
Any update for the Android version soon?
I have asked on Wordfeuds FB page as well as emailed regarding abuse that I have had with other “gamers” with NO availe… The admin for this game is horrible. At least when I have issues with WWF I actually get a response… to have someone call u a cunt when u tell them it was a good game (they won by 100 pt) is rude and uncalled for…..
Hey,
I love this game. But I’m encountering heavy battery drain. Each time it’s my turn, I go back to the app, and enter my word. After my turn, I always lose 1% of my battery life…
Same for me. Insane how much battery that drains from this game! Had to uninstall it. Let us know when an update fix this.
Nice app. Unfortunately i can not find a lot of people to Play with. Would be Nice to get a computer opponent.
Any chance of an HD ipad version?
@Erik, Yes better support for the iPad is planned.
When is this going to iPad I love the game also purchased the full!
Was wondering if you guys will make a way to slide across a opponents name to delete them? I added someone that I thought I knew and the game is just left being unsettled. I would rather just delete them but there is no option for that. Also it is their turn and they have not quit the game.
Yes there is. Go to your friend list and tap and hold. A menu pops up with the option to delete friend. 🙂
You are the best! Thanks 🙂
I think you seriously need to rebuild the Dutch dictionary. I’m encountering words at the game that are english words and not dutch words. Even some uknown unexisting dutch words are accepted in the game… a word like ‘yes’ or ‘loser’ is just plain english…
I am willing to assist with a localized Dutch version and a better Dutch dicionaire.
Me too!
Great game. Super addicting. Maybe add local area for finding random opponents. Maybe by using zipcodes? That would be fun to play with people locally
Is there any plan for a Blackberry version? I can only play android vs bb with WordRival, and it’s not nearly as crisp as Word Feud. I’d happily pay for a pro-version for this functionality.
Can you possibly make so that you can find people locally to play against when selecting a random opponent? Maybe use zipcodes?
We really need a version for the iPad. Doesn’t look as good with an iPod version in 2x size as it could
Hi. I had paid for the game… great stuff. My only gripe is that on some games, when they’re done they do not show up on the Finished Games list. Is this bug known or am I doing something wrong? Instead of going there, they just.. disappear. ?
@Keith: this was fixed in the latest update.
I just downloaded this yesterday on my iPhone and keep getting the message saying, “Could not connect to the WordFeud server. Make sure you have an active internet connection.” I have no problems playing words with friends and obviously have an active Internet connection because I was able to send this. What is going on? I like that I can play my friends who have an Android phone, but I am getting really frustrated with this issue. I have been trying to play for the past couple of hours with no success. Help!
Thanks!
I have the same message popping up like Mia is writing. But I’m able to play though. It’s just very annoying because it pops up so often.
Also hoping the update for the Dutch dictionary will be coming soon because it’s lacking too many words.
And ingame sounds would be a big improvement.
But..loving this game!!
Love the iOS version – worth every cent. Just a suggestion… Can you also put the game scores on the “top menu current games page” so the user can see what the scores are for each game being currently played please?
what is the highest anyone scored in ONE WORD in wordfeud? I am curious to find out, since my friend got 1200 points in one word
sonny
Never played it before
Want to play
I love Wordfeud and play on my DroidX and iPad whenever/wherever possible. Have my family doing the same! One question…..is there a way to play on iPad in landscape orientation?
I truly love the game but also would prefer to play in landscape on my iPad. Surely hope that will be the next fix.
I am also constantly getting the message that it cannot connect to the Word Feud server and to check to be sure I have an active Internet connection. It happens all the time and is really taking the fun put the game. I do not have this message with any other games that I play and my Internet connection is fine. Not sure how to fix. I just switched from a droid phone to the iPhone. I did not ever have this problem when I used Word Feud on the droid.
Addictive:)
The Danish dictionary is not good, words Like “flyd” “tømt”, and “platform” is missing.I can help if needed.
are there any difference between the free and the paid version except the banner ads?
Indeed, the Dutch dictionary has a very limited word list. Especially with the more difficult ‘Q’ and ‘X’ words.
Also, one feature that I really like about Words with Friends, is that it tells you WHICH word it things is incorrect from the four words you laid out.
A score button to precalculate scores would be a nice extra, but not exceptable to Scrabble purists, probably…
“RESIGN” command is absolute and undo-able. An “are you sure” message would be more user-friendly.
Have an iPad….love this game but no swap button available…pushed Menu button as suggested in earlier post but no swap choice available…please fix?
Also how about making the board change from turn to turn so more choices for scoring available as in “Abble Dabble”… the board either rotates or randomly changes DW,TW,DL, and TL! Makes it more challenging!
Cool game, not so cool to leave out the swap button for Iphoners. The androiders have a huge game advantage. Buuuu. 😦 Please fix this ASAP.
Hey, great app! Sometimes, often when I get a really high score after a word, all the letters on the board turns yellow. Usually only the last word is highlighted in yellow. Is this a bug, og is it perhaps because I´ve wrote the word that had the highest possible score at the time?
I love this game and play it on my iPad. I bought the pro version however it drains my battery so much that I have had to uninstall it 😦 Where my battery would normally last a few days at least, the other day I had to charge more than once, while I hardly did anything on the iPad.
An optimised iPad version would be great, looking at battery usage, and perhaps also where you could set how often it checks whether it is your, or an option to manually check. Maybe that way the battery usage can be a bit more normal.
It’s a real shame, so I hope it gets sorted 🙂
PS agree with previous comments about Dutch dictionary totally!
First of all, I love your app!
But it seems like the swap button/function is missing in the iOS version.
Hey, great app, but you HAVE to fix the swap button! I get my ass kicked by those Androiders out there. 😦
Thanks in advance!
It doesn’t get any better than this ! I play on my ipad2. Great ! Thanks very much.
I get a lots of popups saying “connection lost”. Please fix this issue. But over all, I love it!
