### 3/5 — App ends abruptly

*2024-12-16*

The app itself works great/as expected. 
The app abruptly ends if I try to select the share or list icons from the bottom of the screen. I’ve tried several times. The box icon works fine.

### 5/5 — Fridge magnet app made tiny !

*2022-06-05*

Impressed by this simple app, does just what's needed and is under 10 meg.

### 3/5 — Add random word selection

*2021-07-06, version 1.2*

Part of the fun of using fridge words is you don’t have instant access to any word so you have to improvise with what you can find. A random word selection tool would make this app perfect. Just a button to click that puts one of the words from your list onto the screen.

### 5/5 — Maybe recommend a few fonts?

*2021-06-21, version 1.2*

You knew it, I was the guy that submitted fonts about 2 years ago. I only want Gill Sans Regular and Helvetica Nue Condensed Bold. All in all this app is great. Five stars. NF

### 4/5 — There are not enough fonts.

*2018-12-03, version 1.2*

Please add more fonts. Like Comic Sans, Arial, etc. -Chayce

### 4/5 — Smooth running app

*2015-05-28, version 1.2*

This app works fine. You can add your own words, but only one at a time, not in bulk. If you have a large word list it might take a while to add to each one.

### 2/5 — Won't load photos for background

*2014-01-26, version 1.1*

It seems like a good app except that it won't let me load any photos from my photo album to use as backgrounds. When I click on "background" it will let me choose a photo from my iPhone but when I go to put the magnets on it the background is just all black. I've tried several different times with several different photos but it will not load any of them. So pretty useless right now until that's fixed (iPhone 5s with the latest iOS 7 version).

### 5/5 — Good app by LanaRich

*2012-05-19, version 1.0.1*

Needs nouns

### 5/5 — Very cute.

*2012-04-18, version 1.0*

It took me a minute to figure it out but once I did it was pretty cool and simple. You are not limited to whatever words that are in the app. You can make your own words.

### 5/5 — Freaking Awesome - this app is going to be huge!

*2012-04-18, version 1.0*

This little app is so simple yet so much fun.  The fact that you can move words around on pictures of your own makes it all the more fun to share with friends and fam.  Very clever in design and execution.  I HIGHLY recommend it!
