## What is Pockster Crypto?

Please note that NerdBeach Apps are backed with direct email support.  We stand behind every product we produce.  We would also love your feedback (regardless of how you choose to say it).

Word games in general, and cryptograms specifically, are a great way to stimulate cognitive thinking. Pockster Crypto is a great way to challenge yourself on your iPhone, and it is designed for easy pick up and play operation.

The game automatically saves for those moments when you have to divert your attention to the outside world, and it auto-loads your position when you start the game back.  Each puzzle saves its own state, allowing you to work on any or all of the 50 games in the collection as you wish.  

The game load screen shows you a preview of the game in its current state before you load it, allowing you to find that game you want even if you cannot remember the game title. 

The game has been designed to work in the touch environment of the iPhone, incorporating an automatic zoom feature when a selection is made.  From this zoom screen the current selection is shown with its closest choices, along with a preview of the current line.  This allows you to fine tune your choice, if required,  and view it in context.  

Unlike some collections, the puzzles in are unique to this collection, assuring you a fresh experience in game playing.

As always, NerdBeach Apps are backed with direct email support.

### 4/5 — Good game!

*2011-10-15*

This is a good game. One must, however, exercise logic, be patient and have a more than fundamental understanding of the English language to be able to arrive at the correct solution. I am sure that there will be those who attempt to solve the puzzles without those attributes and will be frustrated in so doing.  I have loved solving cryptograms since the early 1960's and have continued to do so on a casual basis over the years. My only criticism is that these puzzles do not follow the same restrictions of the earlier ones; that each letter in a word must appear again in a different word in the puzzle. This restriction would only allow one unique solution and I suggest that the developer investigate this as an improvement.

### 5/5 — It's just fine!

*2011-09-17*

Please ignore the previous review of Pockster Crypto.
That reviewer has poor spelling, poor grammar, and even poorer manners. 
And he/she has no idea what knowledge, time and effort it takes to write an app, and publish it, and get it approved for the app store. 
There is nothing wrong with this app. It's just fine!
It isn't flashy, but who needs pizazz in a simple word-puzzle game?
I would like more puzzles, but for the price (free!), this is just great.
I gladly rate it 5 stars! :)
