I upgraded yesterday and since have not been able to play, all I have is a continuous icon moving, stating that it is upgrading and may take a few min. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the freeand pay version and still get the same...any suggestions?
Yes. The late FULL version of Words with Friends seems to be buggy - different to the FREE version. There are quite some rants at the App Store ratings. Delete it completely on your device and reboot your device. Then do another install. If this doesn't help - contact the support from their App Store page.
