### 2/5 — Bad app

*2019-02-01*

The app generates random words most are not real words. I can do better on my own

### 2/5 — Needs a Filter

*2017-11-13, version 1.4*

This app finds too many “solutions” to your anagram, so you have to wade through pages of non-existent words to see if there’s one you can actually use. I don’t know where it gets its four million words from but I’d really appreciate being able to select “please remove random phrases and names you found misspelled on Etsy and Reddit from my search results”.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2013-02-10, version 0*

Absolute rubbish, doesn't work, complete waste of money

### 1/5 — Crap

*2013-02-09, version 0*

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-01-02, version 0*

### 1/5 — Doesn't work! All the other reviews are right :(

*2012-12-01, version 0*

I never read or leave reviews, but this has taught me a lesson!

Doesn't work in any way whatsoever.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2012-11-16*

Waste of money. Just use a free online anagram solver.

### 1/5 — RUBBISH

*2012-11-06, version 0*

What a waste of money :-(

### 1/5 — anagrams

*2012-11-06, version 0*

rubbish - does not work!!!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-11-02, version 0*

I never review apps, but I had to warn people. This is complete tripe. It just doesn't work. Refund please.

### 1/5 — Astonishingly dysfunctional

*2024-06-16*

Takes the concept of uselessness to another level. Avoid this app like the plague. Absolute garbage.

### 1/5 — Far too many spurious suggestions

*2022-08-21, version 1.4*

This app is only useful if you know all the letters and just need them rearranged.  If you insert ‘?’ for unknown letters, you have to wade through loads of spurious suggestions - words that don’t exist, misspelled words, words with numbers in them - to get anywhere. And sometimes it will only list words starting with, say, A, not listing words that start with other letters. There should be an option to push spurious words into a holding bin of doubtful options. Then if challenged, say, twice more, put into a discard bin.

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2018-06-25*

Are they really words? Or just scrambled letters?
Upgrade needed:
Prioritize common words 
Group partial letter solutions by number of letters. That is answers using 7 letters then 6 letters. 

Not worth the money in its current state. 
Ps why does only the 5* rating show?  Intentionally ripping off users?

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-10-16*

No option for just common words; just a whole lot of gibberish. Wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2017-08-01, version 1.4*

Absolutely rubbish

### 1/5 — Not great

*2017-03-02*

Does not give multiple answers for longer anagrams-stops after first one is found. Functionality is limited.

### 1/5 — A

*2014-04-22, version 1.3*

Piece of CRAP!!!!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-11-30, version 1.3*

Not at all helpful as there is no dictionary check. More rubbish words than good ones.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2013-10-01, version 1.3*

Did not solve simple anagram, waste of money

### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2013-02-17, version 0*

It doesn't work.

### 5/5 — Arg

*2023-12-06*

Good for arg

### 5/5 — Works every time

*2019-08-01, version 1.4*

This is an easy to use anagram solver that just works every time.

### 5/5 — This is wonderful

*2017-06-21*

I use this all the time for help with many word games. It is a great program.

### 5/5 — Great for place names

*2014-11-02, version 1.4*

Excellent. Easy to use. Found a ton of hard to solve place names.

### 5/5 — Know-it-all Anagram Solver

*2014-09-30, version 1.4*

Excellent product.  Reliable, easy to use, and very good value.

### 5/5 — Recommended

*2013-12-31, version 1.3*

I looked for an anagram solver to help me with crosswords. I tested various alternatives, by input of e.g. "male injured to" to see if the solver could produce the correct answer (here "Romeo and Juliet"). The Know-it-All solver was the only one which could solve 7 tests.

The solver is simple to use: after input of letters it gives solutions plus partial solutions. Unlike some, it does not produce a long list of very odd words with the meaningful phrases hidden somewhere in the list.

From my perspective I disagree with the other comments and thoroughly recommend this solver.

### 5/5 — 100% success so far.

*2013-02-10, version 0*

Used the free version for half year, then bought this. Have used it across a wide range of anagrams, and so far has it has always provided an accurate answer. CB

### 5/5 — Works

*2009-11-08, version 0*

Realy good does everything it says

### 4/5 — Anagram solved

*2010-05-16*

Easy and worked well for me on the first try 

### 3/5 — Core functionality works

*2025-06-20, version 1.4*

The anagram lookup works but the instructions and about sections crash the app. Pretty bad but it can still solve anagrams so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
