Pretty good but far too many ads

Whilst the app works pretty well, there are far too many ads. It also very rarely finds words bigger than 5, which is unusual.
Almost every time you search it prompts for either one long ad or two short ads. Will be looking for something that isn't so focused on adverts.

Extremely accurate

Easy to use. I love the feature that lets you instantly look up the definition of a word! Easy to read. Well organized

Annoying before but horrible with iPhone 11 Pro

I am too cheap to pay so I suffer through the annoying ads. Now that I have an iPhone 11 Pro, I can’t always get back from the ad because the ax’s are positioned so close to the edge that they become unclickable. I have to “force quit” the app and start over.

Best in class

I love WWF2. It tells you as you form your words whether they are valid words as how mich they are worth. You can earn points to buy helps such as letter swaps without losing your turn. You can chat with your opponent. Thanks!

Hi Gibchil We are glad to hear you find our app useful. If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know at wfsupport@yourdictionary.com! Have a wonderful day!

Crazy upgrades.

So many Muslim origin words that have no meaning to me. It’s only been recently that I noticed this. Why the change. Just not applicable any more.

Hi Bronco Fan 99, we provide the best valid word to play your favorite word game. We don't filter or prioritize the answers based on their etymologic origin. None changes have been done in any update to modify this criterion.

Frustrating!

Most of the words it finds are unusable on word chums game despite the update claiming the words are all usable!
I hope it gets resolved as it’s mega frustrating and a waste of time!

Hi there, Sorry to hear that and thanks for the feedback. We noticed a little bug in our dictionary for word chums which we have addressed in the past few days. We can't guarantee every word will be valid but it should be much improved. Please report any invalid words through the app, we are always keen to improve and update our dictionaries based on our users feedback!

Not only is the App brilliant, so is the developer!

A few days ago I wrote this: "Whatever you do do not download v2.0. It just crashes constantly and is completely unusable. It was brilliant so I really hope this gets resolved."
Well my hope was realised through really helpful engagement by the developer. The problem was fully resolved within 48 hours - v2.1 is absolutely fine to download, in fact if you are a Scrabble or Words with Friends player you need to!

Hi there, Sorry to hear about the problems since upgrading. We are working on an update we hope to release this week with some fixes. To help us identify the cause of the crashes would you mind emailing us at wfsupport@yourdictionary.com with a few details? Specifically when the crash is occurring (for example on the loading screen or during searches?), what device you have and, if possible, the version of iOS it's running? Thanks, Fraser

Keeps restarting

When I move between scrabble and the word finder app it keeps closing down. It needs to stay open until I close it.

Hi Jocelyn, sorry that's happening to you. We've improved our memory optimization in today's 1.8.1 release so it shouldn't happen anymore. Please email us at wfsupport@yourdictionary.com if you have more issues. Take care David

Simple but effective

So glad WF came out with an app. Makes it much easier to access while playing words with friends. The app provides you everything you need with a simple and easy to use interface.
