### 5/5 — Great lil app

*2023-05-06*

Would really like to choose my own colors

### 1/5 — Help please

*2020-07-05*

My bad. I was looking for something like this for a photograph not for a video. I have no use for it and deleted it immediately. Can I get my money back?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to contact App Store Support for a refund. You could have a look at Phoetic for creating word cloud images.

### 1/5 — Help

*2019-11-17*

There’s no instructions on how to use this

**Developer response:** Please check out the following video tutorial for Word Dance: https://youtu.be/mnYovHxpf9c. Feel free to contact use directly for any questions about the app.

### 4/5 — I love this app!

*2019-09-02*

I love this app! I just got it, could not sleep from playing with it and all the new ideas popping into my head.  

If you have their fonteer premium app your uploaded fonts show up as choices...excellent!

I haven't given five stars because I feel the color choices are limited.  If the developer adds customizable colors this app will be perfect.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-07-02*

There is no instruction on how to use this so its totally useless. $2.99 down the drain

### 5/5 — Video Word Clouds

*2018-09-22*

Using world clouds in a video gives new dimensins to the silent film title cards. The app provides a wide variety of word cloud shapes, fonts, and colors for text and background. Try different combinations to insure the best match for your video. I recommend investing in this app.

### 5/5 — Creative and addicting

*2017-02-27*

My son tried this app after I showed him what I did. He said it was stupid then he tried it. 2 hours later I had to force him to get my phone back

I would try to speed up the downloading tho a bit slow

### 5/5 — Great for presentations

*2017-02-27, version 1.0.6*

I'm taking a wellness course at college this term and I needed something to set my presentation apart from everyone else's. I came across this app and it was the perfect thing I was able to combine a lot of the important words from my presentation into a person that I was able to then have dancing on the first slide of my presentation.

I got to say it was a great attention grabber because were everyone else's first slide with stationary mine was fun to look at and danced around.

Besides being a really cool presentation opener this app was a lot of fun. I was able to play around with what words I wanted involved and what sort of figure I wanted to dance. I really like the numerous options that were offered and how easy it was to view all of them.

The app itself was very easy to use and I would personally say that anyone who has experience with any sort of computer or Microsoft program like Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, or anything else would have no difficulty at all figuring out how to use this. It is very simple in its design which makes it great because it does not take you spending countless hours reading instructions to try and understand it. Instead you can pretty much open up the app and figure it out within one or two minutes. No instructions or YouTube videos needed.

I really enjoyed playing around with this app and it will be a helpful tool for future presentations.

### 2/5 — Pretty disappointed, more limited functionality than expected

*2017-02-26*

I wish I hadn't spend money on this app, I found it pretty disappointing. Functionality much more limited that I expected, I can't see I get much use of it.

The app does works.

### 4/5 — Fun app!

*2017-02-08*

I only have 4 stars because I think it needs a tutorial. It's not hard to use, but that would be really helpful. Other than that, it's a really cool app and I love that it saves the videos to my camera roll so that I can send them to anyone, or share them anywhere. Love it!
