This app is nostalgia awesomeness wrapped into one. Only complaint is no updated words for a long time. ### 2/5 — Fab idea/needs tweaking *2021-12-25* Fun if you have time and patience. Some more basic words would be great. (Did I miss it when searching, or is there no “please?”) Good idea, hope they sharpen the user friendliness some day. ### 4/5 — Great And Fun App! *2019-03-06* This is a great app. The only issue is the interface for selecting words. It is hard to compose something since so few words actually appear on screen at one time. Also it is hard to review the vocabulary to see what words are actually present to use for Shat compositions. I propose going to a second screen to display and select a larger number of words at one time to make sentences. Alternately, you could add voice input to select your words and give an alert whether the word is in the Shat dictionary. ### 4/5 — Fun App *2017-08-08* Dear Me Shatner. Please add the word "birthday" so next year I don't have to wish my daughter a happy bird day. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2017-07-06* Fun App! Download Now! ### 5/5 — Master of spoken word *2017-07-06* Now in my pocket!! With a style of magnetic poetry! I couldn't ask for anything more except if tiny Elvis would sing me songs!! An almost endless index of words at my fingertips to let this poet roar! Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Too bad the developer is not supporting this *2017-06-17, version 1.9.2* Goodbye William. It was a great app. I will miss you. ### 4/5 — Poor abandoned app needs ♥️ *2017-02-27, version 1.9.2* It was five stars when updated currently. I still love it and I'm so sorry that the developers have abandoned it. May it RIP.⚰️ But thankfully, most functions still work. However, it will no longer post to YT, FB or Twitter. You can still save it to your photos and *then* share it. ### 5/5 — If you love William Shatner… *2016-09-01, version 1.9.2* …you'll love this app!! ### 4/5 — Too Funny *2016-08-21, version 1.9.2* Really enjoying the app,hearing Shatner's dramatic voice as some type of poetic reading is just too funny! ### 3/5 — Too much In App Purchases *2016-01-19, version 1.9.2* It was great but the constant paid for updates means your not getting the full package unless you pay through the nose. It would be nice if they adjusted their marketing strategy... Free updates generated by new customers. ### 5/5 — Inimitable Shatner Gold *2015-04-17, version 1.9.2* Golden as the Man's own Aston Martin. Great fun! ### 5/5 — Shatoetry *2015-04-01, version 1.9.2* Great App! A Must Have!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Posting will cause threats of legal action *2024-05-20* What arrogance. My channel is not monetized. Feel free to steal Christmas while you’re at it. I would fire the miserable 1960s holdover who doesn’t realize that app revenues eventually come back when it is shown being used. I would recommend using AI speech elsewhere. I can just see this being used in an episode of the original Star Trek as a campy effort to hold off Klingons while Kirk is knocked out. “I - must - don’t - shoot!” ### 1/5 — A complete P.O.S. *2024-05-09, version 2.1.1* Purchased ALL THE WORDS hoping to find 3 words only "So Many Candles" that's it!!! It found me 1 of the 3 (So). After paying the additional $14.99 and only 1 commonly used word "So".... SO I say it's a P.O.S. Of an app plus no way to get your $$ back.. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-03-22* Nor is it even useful. Too few words available and clunky to use. Can’t even find simple words like thank, you or please. Wish I had my 99 cents back. ### 1/5 — Posting will cause threats of legal action *2022-07-27* What arrogance. My channel is not monetized. Feel free to steal Christmas while you’re at it. ### 1/5 — Can’t buy new words or restore *2020-03-05* Restore purchases doesn’t work now. Dev needs to look at this. ### 1/5 — Shatoetry *2019-04-08* Love Bill, not fond of app. Need more ways to share. There’s always an error when connecting to Facebook, always. ### 1/5 — Developers AWOL *2016-07-10, version 1.9.2* Bill shafted again. No updates in years... ### 1/5 — Bad. Very bad *2014-01-06, version 1.9.0* The. App. Should. NOT. be. Downloaded. By. Any. One. ### 1/5 — Shat is right! *2013-12-31, version 1.8.0* I feel dirty for having purchased this app. It sounds cool but they barely give you enough words to do anything without coughing up more dough. The little 'shat that!' song makes me feel bad for humanity. ### 1/5 — Used to love it.... But *2013-12-13, version 1.8.0* New update doesn't work. Crashes on start up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love Shatting Out the Poems *2019-03-13* This app is too much fun. Having my own poetry read by Mr William Shatner elevates my wordsmithing to a whole other level! ### 5/5 — The only fun app on my phone *2019-03-03* I have only utilitarian apps on my phone, except for this one fun app. It’s quirky and creative. Thanks, William! ☺️ ### 5/5 — Very fun!! *2019-01-31* The musical buttons make everything funny ### 5/5 — Hilarious and Weird - I Love It! *2019-01-29* I don’t know how they got Williams Shatner to eat a dictionary and then regurgitate it with varying levels of intensity, but they did it and it’s hysterical. You can make beautiful, absurd, dis-jointed poetry with the lyrical sounds of Shatner’s voice, totally confusing and delighting your family and friends. Weird, fun, absurd - a great way to pass the time. ### 5/5 — Oh shat *2019-01-28* Cool stuff going on over here ### 5/5 — Bravo *2019-01-25* Whoever created this app deserves a standing ovation. It’s great way to pass the time— I honestly spend countless hours creating Shatoetry and laughing with my friend. So fun, I only wish I had created it. ### 5/5 — 5/5 Stars ✨ *2019-01-20, version 2.0.0* If you have ever wanted to hear Shatner utter the words “hit me baby, one more time” over and over, then this is the app for you! 5/5 stars. ✨ ### 5/5 — Warp Factor 1000!!! *2018-04-11* This app rocks!! Only someone like Shatner could have an app made like this and it never gets old! ### 5/5 — Too much fun!!!!!! *2017-07-13* So fun! Especially the co-op feature. A great way to pass time with friends :) ### 5/5 — dope app! *2017-07-12* This app is dope, William Shatner is the mannn. I'm lovin' it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
