The tiny words take some time to get used to, but they are trying to fit it on a small phone. However, they really need to review the words they allow. I’ve seen a few that aren’t even words, unnecessary to be in a game (e.g., Gestapo?!), and the like. ### 2/5 — Nice but has a small issue. *2024-05-23, version 2.7.1* Nice app and easy user interface. So long as I want to accept it as it is, it’s fine. It works. It is playable. So, it does Work but it keeps crashing going in to the settings part of the app. I don’t know what is adjustable or even available to change. It crashed every time I pressed the button. Sorry developer but it has a bug! ### 5/5 — Mental stimulation *2024-03-09, version 2.7.1* This word puzzle helps me keep my mind active, my visual skills positive. ### 2/5 — Broken settings gear *2024-03-01, version 2.7.1* I am giving this game only two stars because this is kind of important. In the bottom right hand corner, the little gear you click to change your preference settings crashes the game every single time I click it. This is unacceptable. Since the game has a timer for each puzzle and I am kind of slow to do them, this makes the app frustrating for me. It is unlikely that I will continue to use it. Too bad too. I almost liked it….. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-11-20, version 2.7.1* Great game. ### 1/5 — Primitive interface, accidental purchase *2022-09-16, version 2.7.1* Trying to click on the setting gear at the bottom, I authorized this unwanted purchase because my thumb grazed the fingerprint sensor. I don’t want this crap for free let alone pay for it. ### 5/5 — Enjoyment! *2022-07-23, version 2.7.1* I’ve been a fan of this puzzle for a while. Very relaxing as well. ### 4/5 — Fun Game *2022-06-13, version 2.7.1* Lots of random words and fun to play. I would like to see categories or themes, too, but it is my favorite word search. Easy to read, colorful and I like the ability to highlight forwards or backwards. ### 5/5 — One of The best *2022-04-26, version 2.7.1* I’ve been playing a lot of word searching games thru the years. This one of the best, could be better in some ways, but still a great time passer and brain trainer ## Frequently asked questions about Ultimate Word Search ### What is Ultimate Word Search?
