### 2/5 — No Longer Works

*2025-05-08*

So bummed because this was such an amazing app when I first started using it. But, like other reviewers over the years have pointed out, it started getting glitchy until it eventually just stopped working altogether. I’ve tried deleting and re-installing, force restarting my device, and searching online for any other solution with no luck. Unfortunately it appears it’s just broken for good now.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-10-21*

At first it was awesome. It really helped with imperfect rhymes and writers block for songwriting.. but then it like glitched out and now nothing pops up when you type the search bar. I’ve even deleted and re installed the game. Definitely has bugs or something.

### 1/5 — Hoping to get a response from the developer!!!

*2022-02-21*

I signed up for the 14 day free trial and am trying to cancel before the 14 days are up but it does not appear in my subscriptions in apple settings. HOW DO I CANCEL THIS FREE TRIAL!!!!!! Please let me know ASAP!!

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work.

*2021-10-25*

I put a word in nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Can’t Do Anything Without Paying

*2021-07-11*

You shouldn’t have to pay to use this app. I can find rhymes just as easily on google and, although it may not be as time saving, it’s worth it to save the money it costs. No one on their right mind would subscribe to this app.

### 1/5 — Almost as bad as McRib

*2021-06-19*

Takes something that can be done online and instead if making it easier causes you to pay for an already available service that works.
If there was a 0 star rating it would be given.

### 1/5 — What???

*2021-01-19, version 1.1*

Just entered a word system drops dead

### 1/5 — Really?

*2021-01-15*

This app has some good potential. But why not just charge money for the app instead of needing us to have a subscription? To GET RHYMES?

### 1/5 — Shady app

*2021-01-09, version 1.1*

Make it easier to cancel free trials. This is shady.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2020-09-20*

Why ask for money to use it if it's a free game?? I was looking forward to this

### 1/5 — wack

*2020-04-21, version 1.1*

yall ain't gon take my dollar 🤡🐍

### 1/5 — bad

*2026-07-25, version 1.1*

genuinely sucks. when i put an EASY ONE SYLLABLE WORD in the search no results come up. nothing. for any word at all. dont pay for bs.

### 1/5 — Pay wall

*2026-02-10, version 1.1*

Useless there's a pay wall

### 1/5 — No option to cancel

*2025-07-04, version 1.1*

I can’t find anything on the app that allows me to cancel after free trial

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-05-23*

Theres a trial, but the app doesn’t show up under your subscriptions, so I have to contact apple to cancel. The app isn’t even good, at all. Very glitchy. I recommend Rhymers block. Its way better than this app, does what this one is supposed to do and more, and its free.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2024-03-10, version 1.1*

Not free.  It doesn’t show the price tag in Apple Store

### 1/5 — Need to pay

*2023-08-22*

Doesn’t tell you until AFTER you download that you need to pay to even use it. Yes there’s a trial but it’s 14 days.

### 1/5 — A junk.

*2023-06-16*

All of of the words aren’t even accurate words. Also you have to either pay or do the 14 day free trial. I did the free trail & it’s not even popping up on my subscription to cancel it smh.

### 1/5 — No way to cancel

*2023-04-18*

App is not showing up in subscriptions after signing up for the 14 day free trial. Looks like I may be forced to pay, before I can cancel. Yuk

### 1/5 — The app crashes constantly

*2023-01-05*

I bought the app hoping for a quick and affective way to find rhyming words more easily. Instead, the app crashes constantly and sometimes doesn’t even open and becomes stuck while loading. I have tried many other devices to test it out, all the same.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy waste of 2 dollars I deleted it

*2022-12-26*

Not able to do complex rhymes like the images show in the details.
It can’t find rhymes for “usage” no searching double words for rhymes it can only do single word rhymes. 
Whether you’re writing rap lyrics or you’re just a poet don’t buy this once you download it, it’s not a quality app and a waste of space on your phone or tablet. Nice ideas for features that can’t even be used..

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2026-05-24*

Yes, there's thousands of ways to look for rhymes, but for 99 cents this is great! Buy it.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-08-22*

The best rhyming tool

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-01-04, version 1.1*

Awesome and very simple to use

### 5/5 — Awesome, great!!!!

*2021-09-02*

I am an amateur song writer, and some days, I can’t find the word I’m looking for. Worth every Penny of the 99 cents.

### 5/5 — Be careful

*2021-08-10*

I really enjoy this app it has great things that I really love about it but you need to be careful whoever is dealing with this app likes to charge people three times or even more I paid for this app twice already a dollar. Of anything make sure that you paid for this at free and clear so they don’t try to play you in the game.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2021-04-18*

Soo simple and valuable

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2021-04-18*

This is a $0.99 one-time-purchase app and people are griping about sunscriptions? Get real. This is AWESOME for $0.99 and worth a lot more. Thank you for the super fast, great resource. There are alway haters out there that just hate everything and complain about everything. Ignore them. That are not worthy of your app. Keep up the great work developers.

### 5/5 — Great for writers

*2019-06-15*

This isn’t just about poetry. It’s great for puns, or when I’m trying to get a cadence into a passage of a novel.

Very clear, simple, easy to use.

### 3/5 — It’s useful, but untruthful

*2024-06-07*

I like this app
Helps me write my raps
But I didn’t know u had to pay to play
They should have told me that bit of info.

### 3/5 — Imperfect rhymes would not show

*2022-08-31*

No matter which way the switch was flipped it just showed the regular rhymes which made the app essentially useless for me. 

The rest worked well though
