### 3/5 — Good app

*2020-06-26, version 1.5*

Good app but too American.

### 3/5 — Great games word search

*2020-03-03*

Word search needs update for full screen game play not the black bars at top and bottom on iPhone 11

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing & pop up ads

*2019-11-16, version 1.5*

I’ve managed to play one game in past 24 hrs. All other game attempts have frozen and required reboot to eliminate. Despite paying for an ad free version, I’m still getting google-driven pop up ads. Wish I hadn’t bought it. Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-03-29, version 1.5*

Easy to use and fun to do.

### 4/5 — Great fun game

*2018-11-04*

This is one of my favorite games to play. Always offers a fun challenge searching for the words.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review RJB, we're glad you're enjoying it! Please let us know if you have any suggestions for a better game experience, we're always looking to improve our games - support@brainiumstudios.com

### 5/5 — The BEST!

*2018-07-17*

I love word search puzzles, and this one is, hands-down, the BEST!  WHAT I LOVE:  The PLATFORM...it’s colorful, but not cluttered or distracting, is intuitively organized, and is easy to navigate;  The OPTIONS...from easy to challenging—the word lists change within each level, so one isn’t always reworking the same old lists repeatedly, although many words do reappear in subsequent lists, which is appropriate;  The STATS...your progress is tracked—number of words/games played, total time played, and average time per word;  Option to PAUSE...If you want to leave in the middle of a game, you may...the game will automatically pause (or you can manually pause it)...upon resuming the game, you will be asked whether you want to resume your game or start a new one;  The LISTS...The words  are organized into categories, and leveled within...many games for fun play;  The HINTS...if you get stuck, the hint button shows you where the first letter is located.
WHAT I DO NOT LIKE:  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!  I love this game just the way it is.  GREAT JOB, DEVELOPERS!  And, thank you.

**Developer response:** We're glad you enjoy the game Crow, thank you so much for this thoughtful review!
