Release Notes

4.4.1

  • This release fixes a critical bug with in-app purchases of That Word Plus. Due to an issue with receipt validation, the app would not correctly identify that That Word Plus was previously purchased and would prompt to refresh the receipt every time the app was launched.

4.4

  • Add score sharing #70. Your game score can be now be shared at the end of a game or from Personal Scores (via ).
  • Add ability to rate/review That Word in the App Store #90. Your can now rate That Word, or write a review, via About (the button).
  • Change Quit button to Menu button #91. The Quit button was poorly named because it was used to do things other than quit.
  • Fix bug where the time left displayed would sometimes read 0:01 (instead of 0:00) at the end of a round #81.
  • Tweaks to app icon.
  • Shortened the time Game Center player avatars are cached. If you change your Game Center avatar, it previously would have taken a week for your new avatar to be displayed due to caching.
  • Reverted the clock format to use zero-padding; for example, “0:59” instead of “59”, if 59 seconds remain. This restores the formatting that was inadvertently changed in the last release.
