### 3/5 — El juego interminable

*2025-07-29, version 3.2.3*

El juego se supone que es para niños pequeños pero aqui las dificultades aumentan demasiado rápido para los niños pero yo personalmente pienso que el juego típico de toda la vida “la sopa de letras. Es más adecuado para que los niños tengan las mentes abierta la verdad que el juego no me disgusta

### 3/5 — Pas mal du tout

*2023-02-14*

Pourrait avoir 5 étoiles, hélas il y a des bugs et le support ne répond pas (notamment des blocages dans les classements)

### 3/5 — This games has unacceptable ads.

*2022-07-10, version 3.1*

This game contains ads that are not appropriate for 4 years old plus.
DONT GET IT

### 3/5 — Mots mêlés

*2021-08-16, version 3.1*

Bien 👍 mais pas top je suis mitigée

### 4/5 — Dodgy Words!

*2021-03-27, version 3.0.3*

I’ve been playing this for a while and as a game it’s good (even though I question whether some of the words are even real words) However, over the last few months I’ve noticed several really rude words showing up in the grid! I find it quite funny but if you’re buying it for your nan...😂

### 4/5 — I enjoy this game.

*2020-10-05, version 2.6*

I just wish you could move any direction to spell a word.

### 2/5 — Ok but

*2020-06-10, version 2.6*

Could be a decent game. Seemingly has much less ads & bs than many other word search games. But it is fairly annoying when all the words for a level are found yet the game is too stupid to realize it’s finished. The only way I’ve found to clear is start a new game. Wow

### 4/5 — Word search

*2020-03-31, version 2.6*

It would be nice to have one without timer as I like to do it when I sit down with a cup of coffee and a sandwich

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Would give it 0 if I could!

*2023-10-13, version 3.1*

This seemed like the app would be worthwhile but crazy amount of ads.  I paid the $4.99 to remove the ads and guess what…..took my money but did not remove ads.  I have reached out to the developer and Apple and requested an email as soon as I realized this.  NO RESPONSE.  I’m out $4.99 and can’t use the app with my special needs son due to the crazy amount of ads.  DO NOT BOTHER with this app, is my advice!

### 1/5 — Ultimate word search

*2020-12-30, version 3.0.2*

Do not like it. Want the other word search I had

### 1/5 — Used to be a great game

*2020-10-21, version 3.0.2*

This used to be a great game but the changes include way too much advertising so the game board is way smaller!  Way too hard on the eyes.....looking for a new word search game.

### 1/5 — Ok but adverts last a minute after the game is completed. Waste of time

*2020-07-18, version 2.6*

Waste of time. Advert at the end of the game lasted a whole minute! Buy a word search book instead.

### 1/5 — iPhone 7plus

*2020-04-28, version 2.6*

Cool layout BUT-it keeps crashing after 2 moves so I'm deleting

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2020-03-24, version 2.6*

I was setting up for my son and went to Privacy settings and the whole app screen went white and didn’t reset. Had to delete the app. Don’t bother

### 1/5 — iPad

*2018-11-21, version 2.5.2*

Won’t load on IPad.

### 1/5 — Will not open

*2018-09-29, version 2.5.2*

Will not open on my iPad.  To bad the app looked interesting.

### 1/5 — Moche

*2017-11-05*

Très laid et plein de pub,poubelle direct

### 2/5 — Word search

*2026-03-16, version 3.2.3*

This is being used by a dementia patient. The dialogue after every game confuses him.  We really like your word search, but it is not being used as a game in the usual sense.  When he finishes a game, we want to be able to go to a new game. We are not interested in the information about timing etc.

Can we hide the dialog, please?

### 5/5 — Deceiving!!!!

*2023-02-03, version 3.1*

The game is fun, but when you pay to have ads removed and the ads still show up that is deceiving. The suggestion was made to update iOS, which I did and also uninstall and reinstall the ap that the ads would be removed. Not so. If anyone else has had this problem please post. Can’t even write a review with it telling all the nicknames you pick are taken. Ha ha

### 5/5 — Great Wordsearch Game

*2023-01-17, version 3.1*

I really love this game as you are able to set your own parameters, therefore getting the maximum fun from the game. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys word games. A lovely way to relax.

*2021-12-08*

Крутая игра.очень интересно спасибо за игру

### 5/5 — Does what it's supposed to in English and German

*2021-07-24*

I've been using it about a week. 
Important features:
- Landscape works on my iPad 
- easy to switch between languages 
- love how customizable it is, especially to set different levels of difficulty 
- the "touch both ends" of the word is also very convenient

Thanks for a good product.

### 5/5 — A really good game

Worth downloading.  So far, so good!
