Can be an obstacle of getting your best points! ### 3/5 — Misses words and offers non words … *2025-05-22, version 2.11.6* Searched for TEAZED? was offered one 7letter word TEAZIED which isn’t a word but not TEAZLED which is …??? ### 2/5 — Descrambler *2024-10-11, version 2.11.6* This app was always on my Lock Screen, but now I have to open it in apps. What happened? ### 3/5 — Last gasp with this app! *2023-08-13, version 2.11.6* I have been playing with this app for almost a decade. Over the past few years, I’ve found that I can do better on my own when I’m desperate. This app constantly puts you in a position where your opponent gets the advantage after you make your play. I used to win most of the time… now I find I can’t rely on it like I used to do. I’m going to find another app that kicks my chances up a notch! ### 4/5 — Long words *2020-08-13, version 2.11.6* I purchased the long word option and it does not show up anywhere. I would like to know how do you use it since I purchased it. Thank you ### 2/5 — Too much missing! *2020-05-14, version 2.11.6* Nice! Sometimes!!! Too many words missing and many that don’t. Would be nice if there were a way to report missing words or unusable one to freshen the database but I haven’t found one tat! ### 2/5 — Missing Words *2019-12-31, version 2.11.6* This descrambler misses a lot of words and gives words that are unaccepted by Words with Friends. ### 2/5 — Dictionaries are out of date! *2019-10-03, version 2.11.6* It’s been ages since the last update. Lots of words have been added but sadly descrambler doesn’t have them in its dictionaries. ### 2/5 — Please Update WWF Wordlist *2019-07-15, version 2.11.6* Love the app but now there are new words added to WWF as well as some word deletions. Please update the app! ### 2/5 — Help *2019-06-16, version 2.11.6* Can not use for keyboard in in a large format showing only part for keyboard??? Please help ### 2/5 — PLEASE update the dictionary! *2019-04-07, version 2.11.6* I am finding far too many valid WWF words that are not in this app. Please update the dictionary! ### 4/5 — Could be. Improved *2018-11-11, version 2.11.6* With the iOS 12 now well and truly released Please update the app to reflect this. Both from a features and UI/GUIz Also add ability to import screen shot from the official scrabble game to help find words as typing every word from a game is hard and frustrating at times. Not bad, just few minor tweaks and UI updates makes it much more pleasing. Plus to stay with the times should be updated frequently to adapt to the new iOS features ect Thanks These few minor tweaks upgrades would make it work the the I spent . Also 2.00 full pro version is enough when it lacks ^^ above mentioned features. Dev team ### 2/5 — Annoying ads!! *2018-10-15, version 2.11.6* I purchased this app 6 years ago and never had any problems. The past couple of weeks have been so annoying with the same ad taking over!!! It closes easy enough, but still a nuisance. ### 1/5 — Annoying Ads *2018-10-15, version 2.11.6* My app has been ad free for a long time - like several years. But for the last two weeks annoying ads have been appearing. Please fix this problem. It’s very frustrating. 👎🏼 ### 2/5 — Ad pop up *2018-10-12, version 2.11.6* Bought the version to avoid ads and expand tracking but lately the Citi ads pop up constantly. What is up with that?!?! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The app needs a lot of work *2026-04-05, version 2.11.6* Don’t pay for the extra to get worse because their words they make letters you don’t even have until I start making words with letters I have I’m not gonna pay to support the game. What are they doing with our money? They’re not doing an upgrades or fixes ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-11-02, version 2.11.6* This doesn’t give you the best word for the most points. ### 1/5 — Loved it *2022-02-26, version 2.11.6* Need to update the app! Won’t work with my software! ### 1/5 — Out of date *2020-11-03, version 2.11.6* This used to be decent, but it hasn’t been updated in years. Now it cannot find many of the words you can make in WWF. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2020-07-11, version 2.11.6* The developer has given up. No updates. No responses. Do not use this app. I’ll be deleting mine. He’s getting money for ads, but not doing anything else. ### 1/5 — Spent $, still get ads *2018-10-19, version 2.11.6* Despite paying for ad free version, I get pop up ads when I open the app. Enraging. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Get rid of that damned ad! *2018-10-19, version 2.11.6* I bought the app. Then upgraded it to NO ads. All was good... until about a day or so ago. The ad is bad enough, but contacting app support has been turned off! One week to fix it or I am using and buying another app!!!! ### 1/5 — Paid to remove ads *2018-10-18, version 2.11.6* Now they are back up! Tried to connect to developers, but not available! Rip off! ### 1/5 — Ads!!! *2018-10-18, version 2.11.6* I purchased this app quite some time ago. I shouldn’t be seeing *any* ads, yet lately I’m seeing a Citibank ad all the time. I tried contacting through the link in app, but it doesn’t go to a valid email address. The link to visit your site here in the App Store ends with a dns page - so this is the only way to contact you. You switched ad providers - good for you, bad for those of us who paid to not have to deal with the ads. Please fix this!! ### 1/5 — Ads in Paid Version *2018-10-17, version 2.11.6* I own the full version of the app and recently if I hang out on the word list page for several seconds, my screen flips over to an ad screen. What’s up with that? I expect that in free versions, not full, paid versions. Otherwise it’s a great app. AND, there don’t seem to be any available nicknames to post a comment. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Descrambler user *2019-11-06, version 2.11.6* You need to allow PE, because when you do the check it shows it’s OK. Please fix ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-06-03, version 2.11.6* I have no add version and get no adds ### 5/5 — Love this app!!!!! *2018-10-15, version 2.11.6* This is a most helpful app. I use it all the time. Oct. 15, 2018. I’ve always loved this app works great. However, the last few days I’ve been getting a credit card ad and I’ve purchased NO ADS I don’t understand. I’ve restored purchase but still it continues. Please fix this ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-03-20, version 2.11.6* Good to use in a sticky situation. Wish the ‘Tracker’ would sync across my devices though. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-03-05, version 2.11.6* I don’t normally write reviews but this application literally saved my life. Quick and easy to use and helps in tough situations when your mind goes blank. Always gives me a tip top answer, and that’s why it gets a tip top rate. ### 5/5 — Ads bug fixed: *2018-02-03, version 2.11.6* Working great now! Glad to see clean somebody’s home! ### 5/5 — Works great *2017-10-11, version 2.11.2* Top top app ### 5/5 — Steve *2017-03-09, version 2.8.1* Have used this for yonks. But it's not matching up with scrabble at the moment. For instance, scrabble allows seafoam your app does not.😡 ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2016-11-22, version 2.8.1* I love this app! Unscramble your letters (including blank tiles) in order right by point value, with the option of adding additional tile (or two consecutive) into the search, simulating tiles already on the board. Also let's you check to see if combination of letters will be excepted as a word, and which games will except it. How it could be better: - some way you could import a game once it's already started and been going for a while. - you're able to add an option to letters to simulate letters already on the board, but if you use both optional letters, the letters are treated as consecutive, limiting the results to words that include those letters back to back. It will be much more helpful if the results were limited in this way, especially when you want to add a word to the board and happen to cross or letters from two other words (i.e. the words would include two additional letters from the boards that are not consecutive). Otherwise – totally amazing way to cheat and words with friends!!! ### 5/5 — Makes scrabble fun to “cheat" *2016-11-20, version 2.8.1* As other people have noticed, the only way to achieve play level above intermediate is to “cheat”. This is because the official scrabble dictionary is so unfair in that it uses MANY meaningless and archaic words while allowing some foreign words arbitrarily (“qi” is allowed but “zen” and “jew” are NOT). When I first re-discovered Scrabble after 40 years, I felt so inept and inferior. Then I discovered the weird and indispensable world of two-letter alleged words (again, arbitrary). So no matter how hard I sweated over anagrams, I just kept losing both to the computer and to random online opponents. Now, this kindly and well-written app has restored the fun of the word-chase and reassured me that it’s not me, it’s the Scrabble rules. This app is better than the two others I checked out. This one is indispensable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
