In order to get back to an other app, I have to turn my phone completely off for several minutes. ### 4/5 — Love Your App!! *2023-02-24, version 2.14* Is there a different dictionary for Wordfeud? I'm wondering if you could add it too? Thanks for the app, yours is one of my favorites. 🤗🙂🥸 ### 2/5 — Good but flawed *2021-11-09, version 2.14* Major flaw in that cant add a single letter (8 letters) or wildcard letter in Anagram solver mode, otherwise very good but so often u just want to use one letter in an existing word on the board ### 3/5 — Freezes my iPhone 11 *2021-06-11, version 2.14* This app is great for word possibilities. However, it has recently begun freezing in the middle of use. Rebooting the phone stops this, but later recurs. This freezing phenomenon also affects Words With Friends, and sometimes Safari. I am deleting the app. Even after deleting and reloading, this still happens. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2020-12-11, version 2.14* I’ve had this app for a couple of years now and it has never failed me. Great app. I would recommend this to anyone that plays words with friends. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2020-11-25, version 2.14* Thanks to the developer for the continued work on this. Much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Great App. *2020-11-11, version 2.14* Excellent app. Always reliable and has great dictionary features. ### 4/5 — Love Your App!! *2020-11-10, version 2.14* Is there a different dictionary for Wordfeud? I'm wondering if you could add it too? Thanks for the app, yours is one of my favorites. 🤗🙂🥸 ### 5/5 — Word finder *2020-11-09, version 2.14* Like the Google Dictionary but move the top letter box away from the header. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great word find help!! *2020-11-08, version 2.14* Love it!!! ### 5/5 — Use this instead of swapping tiles *2020-11-07, version 2.14* This app is saving me a lot. I get so many bad hands, but instead of swapping tiles, I am able to find more words. This app still leaves you challenged, instead providing the solution. I'm playing the game because I want to be challenged. ### 5/5 — Essential for WWF2 *2020-11-05, version 2.14* This app is amazing 🤩. It shows you all the combinations of words you can make for your tiles. I use it with Words with Friends 2. They update their dictionary regularly to keep up with the game. I won’t play without this app! ### 5/5 — Great Assist *2020-11-04, version 2.14* Great Helper... Really helps to get all the possible words. This developer deserves 5 stars, as he is always keeping up, either on this app, or on his webpage: wordhelper.org ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-11-03, version 2.13* I play crosswords in he paper every day. This app is very helpful ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-10-26, version 2.13* This app is so useful with words especially when your are stumped. ### 5/5 — Simply Fantastic *2020-10-26, version 2.13* Such a useful app ### 5/5 — Love Word Finder! *2020-10-24, version 2.13* Use this great help while playing Word Chums and Words 2 With Friends - love it!!! It helps to learn new words and get the most points possible! Give it a try and you‘ll see for yourself! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-10-24, version 2.13* This app teaches you how to make better plays. The developer has done a wonderful job of updating to keep the app current with game changes. ### 5/5 — Words with Friends *2020-10-24, version 2.13* You can’t play WWF without this app, it’s a must have👍🏽 ### 2/5 — Word Finder *2020-09-26, version 2.12* Miss some of the capabilities of prior versions to better match existing words by specific beginning and ending combinations. Not good alignment with merged English, USA and UK Word w Friends dictionary. Finds results which are invalid with WW2 even when setting says use Words with friends dictionary. Can hardly believe an application got worse instead of better!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Oh no! *2019-08-13, version 2.10* I want last version back! You removed ability to add letters (not just one word)and cross each letter individually in results which was great feature ### 1/5 — Words *2019-05-30, version 2.10* Useless. Loads of words I can't use. Words with friends won't accept. Getting so fed up with it. Used to be very good, but, now. Don't know why I bother to use it. ### 1/5 — Brilliant *2019-05-19, version 2.10* Great little app for those blank days ### 1/5 — Bad New Version *2019-05-06, version 2.10* The font is incredibly small on the search screen. Please put it back to the way in was in previous version. ### 1/5 — WWF Dictionary Wrong *2019-05-01, version 2.10* The WWF dictionary gives incorrect words in latest update. Please fix. Used to work great. ### 1/5 — Hate the new update *2018-03-15, version 2.9* Too many intrusive and annoying adds and pop-ups. Would like to have back the simpler app. ### 1/5 — A good simple app gone bad *2013-07-28, version 2.0* From a decent easy app with easy to read text to one with postage size text and heaps of wasted space (on the iPad at least) One look at this app on an iPad will tell anyone that this was obviously just rewritten to suit an iPhone screen and people who own a magnifying glass or extremely good eye sight I am sorry now that i updated this app. in its new format its useless and thus i deleted it. after all if i wanted an app that takes up less than one quarter of and iPad screen i would have purchased an iPhone only app and use the X2 function to at least make it more readable and use the screen real-estate a bit more efficiently NUFF SAID ### 1/5 — Useless *2012-03-17, version 1.0* Ok for ideas first word on board but that is about it. Does not seem to recognise existing words on board. Not a lot of help really. Should be free. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2012-01-24, version 1.0* Apsalout waste of 1.49 ### 1/5 — Crap *2012-01-16, version 1.0* It's really easy to use but most of the words it creates aren't acceptable, so it doesn't do what it says at all... Thanks for wasting my money! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent helper *2026-02-18, version 2.14* I’m happy to be back at my desk and I’m helping my brain to stay focused and strong ### 5/5 — Word Finder *2024-09-17, version 2.14* If you enjoy playing WWF you will find this App essential.
