Disappointing... ### 1/5 — Frozen *2016-01-16, version 3.0.5* IPhone 6 (iOS 9.2) - Couldn't progress past the main menu. Loading animation works but tapping on "new game" or "tutorial" does nothing. ### 1/5 — Too Limited on its word choice *2015-06-14, version 2.0.1* This would be a great little word app - if it weren't for the fact that the program they're using to randomly generate the words has such limited imagination! I rapidly got tired of each new grid having the same words over and over and why they have subjects is mystifying as none of the words relate to the categories. You choose Zombie Apocalypse and you get a first grid with relevant words and then every grid after it has names of herbs or an entirely random collection of words. It's a shame because if it had a decent word generator it would be an entertaining little app. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2015-01-03, version 1.3* I understand they must make money but there are too many ads on the lite version for me to get any continuity to play, hence I won't be buying the full version. ### 1/5 — Impossible to hear instructions ! *2015-01-03, version 1.3* For a game involving wordplay to be totally inaccessible to someone with hearing impairment due to awful and unnecessary background 'music' is outrageous. I could not even make out the instructions for playing and there was no text alternative that I could find. I am surprised that Richard Dawkins and Stephen Fry are backing such an inaccessible game. Before starting on other languages please ensure the English can be heard or read. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Diabolical *2014-12-24, version 1.3* Terrible graphics, very annoying advertisements, which you have to endure for 5 seconds before you can close the advert. Shame, because it could be a good game if it was designed better. Deleting this app straight after this review. ### 1/5 — Great idea. Badly executed *2014-11-30, version 1.3* What a shame. Game design is unintuitive and poorly designed ### 3/5 — Great concept, but needs work *2014-12-09, version 1.3* A bit clunky but hopefully these will be gone soon. Crashes and freezes regularly but when it does work it is a great idea. Hoping it will be worth keeping hold of. ### 4/5 — Genius idea *2014-12-28, version 1.3* This is a great concept and I like the layout of the game, it is clear and well designed. My only issue is that nowhere I have seen in the instructions does it say the aim of the game. Is a lower or higher score better? With clarification of the aim and points system this would be a five-star game. ### 5/5 — Pls make available in Canada! *2025-08-16, version 4.0.0* Somehow I just stumbled on the “lite” version of this game. Fell in LOVE! Unfortunately, when I went to purchase, I received a message that it is not available in my country. FRIG! I was on a roll. I am now heartbroken. Devastated. Morose. Sad. Poor. Bereft. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Favorite *2017-04-10, version 4.0.0* Fun, fair and gratifying. One of my favorites! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2017-04-08, version 4.0.0* A really difficult challenge to wrap your brain around but worth it. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-03-13, version 2.0* Amazing app. Really good for learning new words and improving your vocabulary. It's good for both native and non native (advanced level) English speakers. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Fun and unique game *2014-12-16, version 1.3* Synonymy drew me in because it's really different from most other word games I've played, and I'm intrigued by the concept behind it. It's challenging, stimulating and a lot of fun! ### 5/5 — Synonymy *2014-11-21, version 1.3* I have the lite version and it is challenging! Really gets you thinking about words! ### 5/5 — Fun and thought provoking! *2014-11-21, version 1.3* The lite version is great, but the full version is even better with more difficulty settings! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
