Sparks My Creativity
Phoetic surpasses any word cloud program I’ve tried. Being able to upload my own photos has been my favorite feature.
One thing, on my new iPhone the app frequently crashes which it never did before. Is there a compatibility problem with iOS 26?

Favorite word cloud generator!
2023 update: Still love it! Most of the word cloud generators I have purchased have soon ended up deleted. Of the two I have kept, I use this one nearly twice as often.
This is, hands down, my favorite word cloud generator and I have several. It’s also the best priced!
With Phoetic, I have the most versatility over fonts, colors and pdf export layers with this app. If exporting using pdf, each word is editable with illustrator. Most apps, yeah, it’s vectorized, but it’s a flat image that can’t be altered.
Phoetic is by far the easiest to use for awesome results. I have others that are easy to use, but are very limited in shape and color choices.
It does have limitations (the reason I have other word cloud apps), like I can’t specify a specific word or phrase to be dominant in size. I have to regenerate the image until that randomly happens. I also cannot specify a location for the dominant sized word/phrase. For me those are the only draw backs and I just use a different app for that. Over all, this one is still the best.
**Now, I wish the developer would make An OS X desktop version.

Crashing
I’ve used this app and works great, but recently it’s been crashing. I can’t even open it. Please fix!

Very glitchy
This is so glitchy, you cant add words using the edit button, the app is not user friendly at all. Other word apps out there that are much better
Pretty awesome, just one small issue
This app is pretty awesome, I have used it for making all sorts of things with my Cricut, but there is one thing I wish that could be changed. I wish that the words didn’t have to be so random, like that they could stay in the order that I wrote them, so you could actually read the song lyrics that I was putting into the image... if that makes any sense

First use CRASH
Appears to be useful but make sure to pre-type your wordlist and then feed it in. I unfortunately did it manually in the program and all the words were GONE ~poof~.
Save some time and do everything outside program if you REALLY want it to work.
Still worth the $ but just want to warn those of the buggies.
I hope for better fixes and updates after the new year. Maybe they are spending their time updating and making updates to the ever-changing iOS that has more updates now than MS>.

Professional results
Do not dismiss this one. It does take a while to figure out the best settings for the outcome one needs to achieve but after that it works like a treat. Getting a high res png with optional transparent background is an added bonus, not offered by rival apps mentioned by other users!
Surprisingly powerful
Great functionality but terrible interface and buggy
Great App! High Quality Images Are Produced
In the word cloud, the larger words are the ones in the text with the highest frequency. This app does that perfectly. It also easily converts images in the app and they are very high quality. If you need a Vector save it as a pdf. It’s also easy to use.
Best word cloud / tag cloud app out there
In terms of word cloud apps, this seems to be the best one on the App Store. I’ve purchased the others... and this one gives the best results.
Pros:
Exports as a high quality vector PDF (Emeds font)
Word spacing can be tighter than any other app.
Like how they handle font integration.
Colors are easy to deal with
Cons:
Would be nice to randomize or size based on frequency
when importing,text.
[Edit] I had originally said that the app doesn’t export high quality PDF’s. The developer has contacted me and sure enough, the app does in fact export vector based PDF’s. I have added this too the pros and adjusted my star rating.

Primitive
Compared to WordFoto this is primitive, and closer rival Wordificator also does it better. Waste of 99p.

Exactly what I was looking for.
This app performs super well. Lots of advanced options and quick results.
Loved the app until your new update
I used this and loved the original idea. Was very simple but effective.
Now I find it very complex and hard work. I prefer the old much simpler style

Still learning
I read reviews on all the other word collage apps and took a risk on this app as it had 1 review. I do like the app- I like that I can import my own shapes to make my collage- I like that I can create and change the color pallets- and I like that I can chose to have minimal words- or a lot of words crammed in. What I would change- or add:
1. The ability to ensure certain words are larger or the biggest word in the collage. And a specific color- I thought this was going to work because when creating the word lists it lets me pick the word size- and color...word by word... Unless I am doing it completely wrong- there is no point in this because it is not working.
2. The ability to "shake up" the result- get colors to change- or words to rearrange. The comment above could help with this I am thinking.
3. I haven't had a lot of time on my phone to figure out importing lists - I have manually added my words to the lists. Instructions or tutorials would be great.
4. Does this have spell check? Also would be nice if it would capitalize words automatically
5. Instructions or tutorials!!!! I spent a lot of time messing around and going to the same place before figuring out how to generate my word collage. I am also impatient like 99% of the world... So I didn't initially notice it was working to create my collage... Which is why i probably ended up in the options category s much. PLEASE ADD THIS!!!
6. The ability to tell it which words to repeat... And which words not to repeat. This should be an option.
7. The ability to have the primary or main word(s) come through clearly. Almost like a title- or better yet- the ability to place that main word as a layer over the top of the word cloud.
8. I would also like to be able to have images burn through the words- example- my shape is a Christmas tree- the words make up the shape of the tree- but you can still see the lights or bulbs in the background - brighter or darker than the rest of the background.
I am sure I will think of more.... And will be happy to share as I go.

Brilliant- but could be amazing
Brilliant- but could be amazing
Would be amazing if you could reduce the font size - so the font size is all small - to get more detail etc

Doesn't work
Waste of money
Really cool, good quality results
This app offers more options than the others I've tried, and it gives high quality images. I also like that there's an option available to have a transparent background. Sometimes you may have to play with the settings to get an image to come out right, but that's just the nature of making text art. I like that this app gives enough options to tweak so you can get it to come out just right.

Just brilliant
Really easy to use, glad i found it
Almost Great!
Really good app, works well on iPad Air2. Lots of customizations for colours, layout, fonts, and if you don't find one you like just add it! The extra star comes with the ability to save generated word cloud PDFs to iCloud (rather than having to email them to yourself).
