Same problem here after upgrading to iOS 9 on iPhone 6. I've tried the suggestion above. Also tried deleting and redownloading the app with no luck.

Same issue, iPhone 5S just after upgrade to ios 9.


App opens cleanly, responds for 8-10 seconds and then freezes entirely.

Tried completely closing app, removing and uninstalling, clearing leaderboard data (a games function), and rebooting phone all without any impact on behavior. This is consistent, as in it does this 100% of the time.

Same here. Updated yesterday. Words with Friends freezes after a few seconds. Has to be closed, and reopened. Then again it will freeze after some seconds of trying to actually play. iPhone 6 standard.


Zynga is aware, and has a work around.
