Sometimes I do come across a word that I is valid but not in your dictionary. ### 3/5 — Weird *2025-10-30, version 2.4.0* My husband has the same app, we both have iPhones and sometimes some words are allowed on his but not on mine. Recent example: moile ### 5/5 — Excellent choice for Scrabble and Wordle *2025-10-16, version 2.4.0* This is our go to word checker. We use it constantly. ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2025-10-11, version 2.3.9* My wife & I like to use this as our official Scrabble Dictionary. Some words appear when ✅as a reference - but don’t have definitions … ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2025-09-27, version 2.3.8* Great tool for NYT spelling Bee game and Quiddler card game, as well as Scrabble. Excellent features within the app, my go-to resource! ### 5/5 — Scrabble *2025-09-14, version 2.3.7* DOESN’t ALLOW SPANISH ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-09-11, version 2.3.7* A great help for playing Scrabble. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Checker *2025-09-07, version 2.3.7* Great app ### 5/5 — Scrabble *2025-08-30, version 2.3.7* It's really helpful plus, you can customise it to how you need it! I would definitely advise you to get it! It's worth it! ### 5/5 — Best Scrabble word checker *2025-08-25, version 2.3.7* Quick accurate word checker ### 5/5 — Sachem Approved *2025-08-24, version 2.3.7* This app is a comprehensive lexicon (not a doctionary!) used in tournament play in North America (and Thailand!). Could any Scrabble player could ask for anything more? ### 5/5 — Fun and easy *2025-08-18, version 2.3.7* I love it. I use it often. ### 5/5 — Excellent Scrabble App *2025-08-16, version 2.3.7* My wife and I play Scrabble regularly and this app is very helpful as a word checker and timer. Good job! ### 5/5 — Great app. *2025-07-23, version 2.3.7* Love this app, and it’s so quick and easy to use with VoiceOver on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Wp Simon’s *2025-07-14, version 2.3.7* We have the scrabble good book and lots of other stuff and nothing yet that beats word checker ### 5/5 — Single function app! *2025-07-01, version 2.3.7* Works perfect. Ads don’t interfere with its use. ### 5/5 — Excellent Word Checker *2025-06-26, version 2.3.7* I play Scrabble twice a week, and use this all the time. It’s so simple that we allow people to check words before they put them down. Highly recommended you play with that. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-06-23, version 2.3.7* Love this app. Soo helpful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — He calls them ads… *2025-12-16, version 2.4.0* App is a good concept, but what he calls “ads”, ruin the whole thing. An ad will time out so I can continue to use the app, but not this one. The only way to use this app is to click on the “ad” (it’s a link, not an ad…), then I’m taken out of the app. All I wanna do is check a word - not be taken out of the app to where ever the link takes me. I don’t trust it and have deleted it. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2024-10-16, version 2.3.2* Keeps coming up with advertisements for iCloud storage is full and they want you to upgrade to a higher storage, this is nothing but a scam, needs sorting, thanks. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2024-09-30, version 2.3.1* Sorry but way too many ads that are difficult to navigate around and keep you from being able to use the app quickly ### 1/5 — Not good for international players *2024-02-27, version 2.3.1* Even switching to the international setting doesn’t recognize any Spanish words ### 1/5 — Feeble *2024-01-07, version 2.3.1* Quick check found it not useful for advanced play. Where was “ablow” and “bru” for example? ### 1/5 — Good…but *2023-12-03, version 2.3.0* It is a really good resource, and improves as time goes on. However, one really obnoxious and terrible oversight is the suggestions feature. A similar word or words pop up when you are checking. You don’t want a word cheat! Or at least the makers could provide the ability to disable suggestions in the settings. Otherwise, you really can’t allow it in game play! ### 1/5 — Bad Adverts *2023-04-16, version 2.2.7* This app is overall okay but the adverts are inappropriate and may to alarming to younger players. One advert that particularly alarmed me was an image of a mangled horse and a button that wipes your iPhone memory. This is horrible. ### 1/5 — STOP THE ADS *2023-04-10, version 2.2.7* 😡😡😡😡🤬😡 ### 1/5 — Beware - Phishing ads *2023-04-08, version 2.2.7* Ads pretending you have low storage. Dodgy ### 1/5 — Just got spammed the minute I opened the app. Don’t download! *2023-01-26, version 2.2.6* A pop up asking me to clean my iphone came up and I wasn’t even on an iphone… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-08-25, version 2.4.3* Really helps when disputes inevitably arise 😊 ### 5/5 — Yassssss *2026-07-07, version 2.4.3* It is great ### 5/5 — Scrabble *2026-07-05, version 2.4.3* This word check is very helpful and useful when it comes to the game ### 5/5 — Scrabble Daze *2026-04-22, version 2.4.3* Very helpful for playing scrabble with the family. My father in law always cooks up these ridiculous words that no one has ever used in a sentence but somehow they’re scrabble legal and he blows me out of the water with them (score wise). This app is a super helpful way for him and others to do that ;D. No but seriously, great app! Super helpful and convenient for scrabble games. ### 5/5 — Essential *2026-04-10, version 2.4.3* As two guys playing UPWORDS weekly with against our wives we use this app instead of a dictionary. ### 5/5 — very handy, very user-friendly application *2026-04-04, version 2.4.2* we have been using this application for years and find it very helpful. It’s definitely value for the money ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-04-03, version 2.4.2* Simple, excellent app to keep your Scrabble playing honest. Does exactly what you want it to do. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-01, version 2.4.2* Love the app when I’m playing Scrabble. With my friend, we also play with French words. Love the French version as well. ### 5/5 — The only scrabble word check I use *2026-01-28, version 2.4.0* This app is far superior to any other app for this out there. It is super easy to navigate and you don’t have to go through multiple steps to check multiple words. Also, there are very few ads and they don’t last long. ### 5/5 — Scrable *2026-01-21, version 2.4.0* Bob bob bob bob bob --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
