Awful UI
Trying to play this game is not good. The UI is awful. Once you go into a puzzle there is nothing else. No menu.
And at the start it shows their new game. Deleted.

More JAM
Great word game but extremely limited selection of words.
JAM is right!
Just deleted it. When the list of words loads that’s it. It freezes - it “jams,” if you will. Can’t even get back to the initial screen. No space, no time, no patience for this.
Promising, but…
1. If I can make 2 or more words of the same letters, game knows only one.
2. Not many words as a random dictionary has
3. Could have a “next round” buttons to proceed to next words
4. Could have a few languages with a switch.

Thanks for your suggestions!
Enjoyable time-filler
I enjoy this non-judgemental app. Great brain exercise!

Like the game, but words are repeated far too often! It’s like only a handful of words are used! Add a couple thousand more words and it would be much more enjoyable!
Broken
You open the app and all you see is a “Go” button, along with the title. Upon pressing Go, there are draggable letters, but no blanks or directions.
Boring
Possibly the most boring app I have ever played. There’s no points, coins, stars or even levels to mark your progress. And if you need a hint or would like to skip to the next set of words, you’re out of luck because none of that is possible.
Words often repeated
Fun game, but when one game is done, the next often contains words I just solved. Would implement a more complete 5-letter word list or better way to fetch them. Also, a difficulty setting would be cool. Easy- 4 letter words, med- 5 letter, difficult- 6 letters.
American spelling
American spelling of words like labor (labour in UK English) threw me right from the start and put me off wanting to play it again.
Promising, but not quite there yet.
1. From one game to the next, words are often repeated, which becomes annoying instead of fun.
2. There is no way to end a game if you haven't solved all four words. You can close the app, but when you try to start over, it returns to the unfinished game.
3. The game would be more fun if the app included a link to something like the Anagram Solver app, so that if you decided to give up on a word, you could easily see option(s) you missed. I've downloaded the Anagram Solver app, and I do refer to it when I'm stumped, but it's a pain because you have to close down the Word Jam app, open the Anagram Solver, find the answer, close down the Anagram Solver app, reopen the Word Jam app, and finally correct the word left unsolved. TOO MUCH LIKE WORK.
There are other worthwhile suggestions among the listed reviews. Someone should be taking note of them. Thanks!

Game won't won't work on either my....
Liked the concept and simplicity of the game but it won't work on either my iPad Pro 2017 with iOS 11 or with my iPad mini 3 using older 10.? iOS. I can get to the screen with the four rows of letters but when I tap the letters to make words - nothing. I can't even go to another screen to look for help or directions. Would like to see an update to resolve the issue.

Balky after latest update
Just downloaded latest update and it froze during play
iOS 11.03
Thanks for the fix, but the words are repetitive

Disappointing
Could be a fun game but there's words repeated within the first 5 levels. Over and over again. Definitely overpriced.
Awesome game!
Super fun, I'm hooked. Great updates too!
Update not working
Since you recently updated, I have twice tried app and found the letters frozen on the screen. I have tried restarting phone with same result. Would not recommend until fixed.

Thanks for updating your app. Between your update and iOS 11.1, app letter movement is smooth once again. Upgrade rating from 1 to 4-stars.

Do not buy
Game is boring. No visible progress for unscrambling words. Free apps have better UI than this. Not fun at all
Response to developer:
I was just angry that I spent three dollars on it when I thought it was free. (I have an app that shows what apps go on sale)

I'm sorry to hear you do not enjoy the game. Could you help me understand more about what progress you would look for?
WORD JAM
A Challenging Word Scramble / Jumble. UI improvement would help: The last letter of the last word immediately closes screen & displays next 4-word puzzle. It would be nice to have a short time delay or NEXT Button to see what the last correct word actually was (see letter movement issues in previous review.) A nice App, thanks for your work - looking forward to more + better !

Word Jam Review
After completing the 4 words, the screen changes too fast. There should be at least a 20-30 delay to allow the individual playing the game the opportunity to see the words created.
UI doesn't work well
The UI, as has been mentioned, does not work well. The letters do not drag properly. For example, a letter often cannot be dragged to the end of the word or sometimes just drops any old place, not where I've dragged it. There are sometimes multiple words that can be made from the letters given, but you have to mind read to figure out which one the game "wants". There are no clues, so there isn't a way to determine, other than by trial and error, which word is the "correct" one. I'd also like to see a bit more delay when the final letter of the last word to be solved in each puzzle is placed so one can see all the words.
This game has potential, but the flaws above really hurt the playability.
