### 2/5 — Ok but lacking

*2023-07-15, version 1.0*

No matter how much I changed the settings, it would only include 5-6 words in the word search. Not really worth the space the app takes up in the phone. Ended up deleting it.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed!

*2022-06-04, version 1.0*

My kid is newly into word searches and this app is perfect for making custom ones for her. Absolutely a 5-star app! Very generous of the developer to make this and give it away. Thank you! My only wish would be for the grid size to be able to go lower than 8x8.

### 1/5 — No words

*2021-05-22*

It doesn’t work on my iPad!

### 5/5 — Something is wrong

*2021-02-12, version 1.0*

I made Digestive disorders (1) and worked out fine. There was a list but when I made Digestive disorders (2), There were no word search list.

### 5/5 — Great app perfect for a ton of uses!

*2020-09-27, version 1.0*

I am young and have been using this app for a month or so to make word searches. It would be perfect for educators, word search authors, and even my grandma! I used it first to make a September themed word search which she gave to all of the people at the day program, (a place for elder people to go.) I have made almost 12 word searches but I plan to make 150! I want to make a full word search book which will be really cool! This app is easy to use and very customizable. The only thing I would want to change is to be able to click a button to download the picture, instead of taking a screenshot because it is a pdf. Nonetheless, I love this app and it is the only free word search maker with no watermark and some other features. Thank you for making this app! have a nice day!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-04-08, version 1.0*

This app is great and very intuitive. I am an educator for young children and use it all the time to make word searches that my students love. Would highly recommend!!
