### 5/5 — Simple concept that is lots of fun

*2021-06-27, version 1.2*

I use this app in my tutoring business and the students love it. We try to predict what possible matches might be, as each new word is revealed e.g. “big” might match with “huge, giant, large,” etc. Students try to guess which words will appear. This adds an extra level of learning to the game. Of course their favourite part is winning! 😉

### 2/5 — Potential to be really good

*2020-04-03*

The animated stars that appear after you make a match slow down the game too much. This game could be improved so much if I could play this game at a faster pace. I deleted it because the animations are annoying and I dont have the patience to wait for each animation to finish.

### 1/5 — So weird

*2019-07-24, version 1.2*

Delay between matches is this apps killer.  Plus the fireworks between every match gives you a seizure

### 1/5 — Time Waster

*2018-04-23, version 1.2*

The idea is great but there is far too much time wasted when a match is made.  You can't just tap and get to the next match.  You have to wait until the fireworks stop!  Too slow!

### 3/5 — Good but so annoying

*2018-04-23, version 1.2*

When you match words the delay for the next match is ten years. Allow the player to click past the wait. Then it's a five

### 5/5 — Brain exercise

*2017-05-18, version 1.2*

For those of us who are over 50, Winning Words is an excellent brain and short-term memory exercise. The fireworks at each successful match are good brain stimulation. Just addictive enough to keep my brain in good working order.

### 2/5 — Great!!

### 5/5 — Brain exercise

*2017-04-22, version 1.2*

This game is great for your memory and for people of all ages! So much fun!

I am so glad this game is now on the iPhone

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-04-22, version 1.2*

I love word games and this app met all my expectations! It's fun, challenging and a great learning tool to use with my students!! I'm so excited Synonym MATCH is now on the iPhone!!!

### 2/5 — Good concept

*2015-08-19, version 1.0.3*

The app is a great concept and fun but there is WAY too much wait time between turn of cards and esp when you get a match...  It is very off putting! This is probably the same for each of the apps by this developer. Can you please update with greater speed or at least an option for speed!
