### 5/5 — Letter Farm

*2013-03-23*

Fun word game. Great for kids and adults.

### 4/5 — Good But Disappointing

*2013-03-07*

The game is good but it's a bit disappointing after seeing videos online... I'm assuming the videos were done prior to the release because they show sound and animation and more selection options that are not actually available in the game. I tried to contact them through app support but there isn't really anything available...thus my review.
