Great word hunt
As a teacher, this app is both a great learning tool and a fun classroom reward exercise. Students enjoy finding the hidden words before the thief appears. The extra games are ok but it is the word hunt that makes the app.Awesome coolness!
My 7 year old loves this game. You search for hidden words (only forward and horizontally - thank you!). All words (up to 5 words) must be found before the funny Word thief comes out. This is a time keeping concept that really seem to resonate with my son. He cries out in amusement every time the thief peeks out from his hiding place. Plus also for the built in instructions that help you get started. A very awesome game.Not intuitive for younger kids
Even I had a hard time figuring out what to do at first. There is no narration and the directions are poor. It takes some trial and error...all the while the time is ticking. Also, the spelling words are pretty advanced for the ages specified. There are a few beginner words like pig, but then there are words like helmet and a few even harder for that. Granted, my son is a beginner reader. Definitely for older kids.
