The latest version is still just as slow as ever... Very slow on Pixel phones. Trying to drag a letter or do anything is very slow. Have to exit and restart the game to work normally. This company seems totally unable or unwilling to fix problems. I guess at the very least they did fix the graphics corruption issues. That's one small win, I suppose.

Since downloading this app my battery has gone from 100% to 31% in 5 hours of normal use without opening the Word Chum app during that time. It's a fun game, but I don't know if it is worth it. My husband uninstalled it after just 3 hours because it used so much of his battery.
