I appreciate the work involved in developing this game, but you could at least spell the category names right with updates. (Bussines?) Will still play what I can, but wanted to share my disappointment with the latest update. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2021-01-24, version 2.4* Each time I find a correct word I slide my finger across and it doesn’t stay! It is the correct word and position. It is so aggravating I decided not to play it anymore! ### 3/5 — Freeze *2022-08-11, version 3.1* The screen blacks out and freezes. ### 3/5 — Advertising *2021-09-02* It would be a fun game if the advertising was done differently. It should be rewarding when I finish a game but instead I have to watch an advertisement. It is just a real downer to work hard on a puzzle and finish it and then here you go watch this advertisement. Just do the advertising differently. ### 3/5 — Redundant *2020-11-13, version 2.3* Great searches but the words are repeated in almost each puzzle. But still a fun game. ### 3/5 — Too many game app ads that take forever to clear *2020-03-28* I really wanted to like this app. I'd play a game and then a game app ad would come up. I'd wait for it to clear. Good, I can go back to my game. I'd play the game till I finished the categories. Oh look, another game app ad. I'd look up at tv for awhile. Ad done, Find the little "x". Clears. I go back to my game. Finish the categories and up comes another game app ad. Why do they take so long? Takes the fun out of playing my game. Not worth it. Deleted! ### 3/5 — Fun game too many ads *2020-01-01* Game is a good basic crossword search but an ad pops up after every game which is very frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-06-02, version 4.9* A good way to keep your brain active ### 5/5 — English Word Search *2025-11-04* Makes your brain good ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-07-22, version 4.6* You’ll enjoy it! ### 5/5 — Word Search *2025-07-20, version 4.6* Fun and challenging! ### 5/5 — English Word Search 2025 *2025-03-08, version 4.3* I Like Playing English Word Search 2025. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-10-09, version 4.2* Easy to use and challenging if you want it to be. Try it you will love it. ### 5/5 — Word search *2024-10-03, version 4.2* Good exercise! ### 5/5 — PLEASE FIX BUG FROM YOUR LAST UPDATE *2024-08-16* About a week ago, you had an UPDATE for your APP! Since that update, when I complete a Word Search(no matter what the mode or the level), the game freezes up. The COMPLETE! Dialog box has the New Game and the Main Menu buttons frozen so you can not chose either one of them. I was hoping I could delete the App and Reinstall, but it made absolutely no difference! I love your Word Search game more than any of the others, but it is currently not useable! Please fix it ASAP! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Hospital *2024-07-01, version 3.9* It passes my time at the hospital with my husband. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-05-26, version 3.9* I enjoy playing while listening and watching sports on TV. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
