### 2/5 — Used to work well

*2024-09-28, version 4.0.5*

Used to work quite well.  Now it gives many “words” that aren’t words and misses giving words that are.  The last few updates have really messed things up.

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2024-09-09, version 4.0.5*

Ive used this app occasionally for yrs without any problems, but rececently the screen has gone dark. It makes it very difficult to see the words. What happened and what will it take for the screen to be white again? 
Thank you

### 4/5 — Great app 4 sure

*2024-09-09, version 4.0.5*

Can u please make sure the the top input or LETTERS RECTANGLE box is Bigger like it used to be … 🤔 👏👏👏 otherwise I appreciate the hard work 👊

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with keyboard update

*2024-08-22, version 4.0.2*

The app does not work when using the advanced options. When entering restrictions (start letters, end letters, excluded letters, etc) there is no longer an “enter key” on the keyboard. It has been replaced with a “Done” blue button which does not trigger the “accept changes” event. That means the algorithm ignores the restrictions entered.

This worked until about 3 weeks ago.

### 4/5 — Thank you for fixing it!

*2024-08-19, version 4.0.1*

Thank you for fixing all the bugs that made the app useless. All seems to now be working and even the iPad has full functionality.

### 4/5 — Was great

*2024-08-15, version 4.0.1*

Update.. they fixed the filters! Back to being a great tool. 

The last update has wiped out the ability to use the filters. The reason this app was great was because of the filters. You could add the characters a number of times and you could add a large number of characters for larger combinations of words. Without the filters it’s now useless to me. I hope they fix it. If they do I will update my review.

### 4/5 — Fixed

*2024-08-15, version 4.0.1*

Working again!

Font is still too small on input page

### 2/5 — Update 8/13/24 helped, but more needed

*2024-08-15, version 4.0.1*

At least the Filters are again working on both iPad and iPhone. Still way too many words that are not words in WWF and missing many that are words and used to be suggestions in prior working version of app. Also, when tapping on X to erase all letters, would help if it went back to also deleting any filters from prior set of letters; as is, need to always go in and clear the filters. The layout of Filters page is less easy to read (too small print) than previous version. All in all, not sure why this big change was made. Ten steps back, and only one forward in recent days.

### 4/5 — Achieves its purpose

*2024-08-14, version 4.0.1*

Simple interface that does what it is supposed to do. Developer quickly fixed a bug from the last version that affected filtering.

### 2/5 — Update made a great app truly aggravating

*2024-08-14, version 4.0.1*

Why all the changes? Been enjoying this app for many years. Now it’s just annoying. Whoever decided to change it to this mess is just mean. I don’t get the purpose.

### 2/5 — Did Y’all Not Test Before Releasing to Prod?

*2024-08-13, version 4.0.1*

I mean, did y’all learn anything from the recent Crowdstike update-induced global outage? Do better!

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2024-08-13, version 4.0.0*

The biggest complaint I had with the old version was that it left out some common words words and gave too many non-words. Now, the filters don't work. Think I'll try another app

### 4/5 — Filters Don’t Work. Please fix.

*2024-08-12, version 4.0.0*

The filters aren’t working properly. When I use the last one, to input letters that cannot be in the word, they disappear and are not used. Please fix this problem.

### 2/5 — Latest Update is a Failure

*2024-08-12, version 4.0.0*

I’ve been using Unscramble for years and all of a sudden the app is basically useless. Used to be a solid 5*. Now it’s basically useless. No response from the developer to an email.

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE!!!!

*2024-08-31, version 4.0.2*

This app use to work, quite nicely. But it has been abandoned by the developers, doesn’t work at all and even provides grossly wrong answers that aren’t even words found in any dictionary. They need to simply remove this app from the menu. It is TOTALLY worthless.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2024-08-28, version 4.0.2*

Fixed some bugs now created more starting with the half screen.  When I want to add a letter it automatically highlights everything and if you don’t catch it, it deletes all the letters and you have to input them all over again.  Also when you open it up to restore or restart it used to delete the  filter now you have to manually delete it.  So annoying.

### 1/5 — What happened to this app?

*2024-08-14, version 4.0.1*

This app worked fine for me for years but suddenly today I can’t clear the selection, or type anything. It’s completely useless.

### 1/5 — Used to work great but update is terrible

*2024-08-13, version 4.0.0*

I’ve used this app for years and it was wonderfully helpful but now it doesn’t help at all. Filters don’t work at all so that took away any use for this app. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Update is horrible

*2024-08-13, version 4.0.0*

Used this forever as my go to app. I will be deleting this as it is no longer usable.

### 1/5 — Filters no longer working

*2024-08-12, version 4.0.0*

You broke the all the filter functions with version 4.0

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2024-08-12, version 4.0.0*

What happened! The filters do not work anymore. It’s useless. Please change it back. I used this app for years and now it’s unusable.

### 1/5 — Filters aren’t working

*2024-08-12, version 4.0.0*

Filters have quit working - finding another app

### 1/5 — Filters stopped working-deleted

*2024-08-11, version 4.0.0*

What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Filters do not work since August 6, 2024 update

*2024-08-11, version 4.0.0*

The filters no longer work on neither my iPhone nor my iPad. Hope you will be fixing this bug otherwise this app is useless.

### 5/5 — Best App of it's kind

*2025-01-24, version 4.0.5*

I've used this for years. It's my favorite cheat sheet for Scrabble and other word games. Opens your mind when you're stuck and just can't think of a word with the letters you got!

### 5/5 — Thanks 🙏🏻 for returning to the old format

*2024-09-20, version 4.0.5*

I really hated the change in the way the app looked 

I’m very thankful for the return to the way it’s been for many years 🥳👍🏻

### 5/5 — IT IS FIXED! IT WORKS AGAIN!

### 5/5 — Filters fixed!

*2024-08-22, version 4.0.2*

Thank you for fixing the filters! Back to working great!

### 5/5 — Thank you for fixing the filters

*2024-08-19, version 4.0.1*

I was initially upset with the update. The lack of filters made the tool useless. I’m glad to have out back. I’m also happy to have the ability to score blanks as 0 on the iPhone. Thank you

### 5/5 — Filters Fixed

*2024-08-14, version 4.0.1*

All appears fixed. Thank you.

### 5/5 — It’s FIXED!  Excellent word game resource!

*2024-08-14, version 4.0.1*

ALL filters are working again.  The display on iPad is still slightly off center, but all features work smooth.

Great resource for any word game… thank you thank you to the developers “Software To Fit”

### 5/5 — App does nothing

*2024-08-14, version 4.0.1*

### 5/5 — Daily

*2024-08-08, version 4.0.0*
