Otherwise, I like this. Please correct this! ### 4/5 — Not rating it five stars because… *2025-01-09* I love almost everything about this. The backgrounds and font are beautiful, it’s fun to choose from the different categories as well. But can you please get rid of the wine category? I understand that many people drink, but some don’t including me. There should be the option for another category in place of that instead. Also, more highlight colors please. Green is kind of pretty, but it can get boring after a while. ### 5/5 — Hard but great game! *2023-07-27, version 1.6.20* Learn the shortcuts makes it easier. A real brain twister ### 5/5 — Word search star *2023-03-21, version 1.6.20* I like the word search star Thank you Robert Lin ### 4/5 — Woke *2023-02-09, version 1.6.20* It seems from most words the innuendo regarding Liberals and Immigration is just too obvious why not Trump in the Presidential names you have Nobama 🙄. ### 5/5 — Challenging *2023-01-13, version 1.6.20* Great game, keeps the mind engaged ### 4/5 — Idea for Improving. *2022-12-10, version 1.6.20* Give definitions of words. Perhaps pictures of trees, birds etc Maps placing countries Info on what country a city is located. I play this a least once a day and really enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Train your brain *2022-10-08, version 1.6.20* This is a fun game that trains your brain and helps you to relax ### 4/5 — Lizzie Beth *2022-09-13, version 1.6.20* Super ! One of my favorites! ### 5/5 — Great! *2022-08-20, version 1.6.20* Most nutritious food for the brain! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2022-08-02, version 1.6.20* Just started playing but the gameplay is smooth and didn’t see any ads so far. Hopefully everything will be good with it since they won’t update anymore. I typically don’t like music in my games but this music isn’t bad 😄😄. Lastly, for the ones complaining about a certain president not being included, get over it. It’s a word seach for goodness sake. Don’t like it, don’t play it, or learn to code and make your own. ✌🏽✌🏽 ### 5/5 — A very interesting game *2022-05-01, version 1.6.20* This is about the best word search I’ve ever seen such a great range of topics ### 5/5 — Perfect heart brain and soul learning game:-) *2022-04-17, version 1.6.20* Yay ### 5/5 — Word Search Brainium *2022-04-14* Love the various challenge levels and categories ### 4/5 — Love the game hate the timer *2022-04-04* When I sit down to play a game I would prefer not to feel the pressure of a clock ticking. Is there anyway to turn off the clock so I can bump this to a five star rating? ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-01-25, version 1.6.20* Fun to play ### 5/5 — Fun at any level *2021-12-26* Have enjoyed Word Search for years and still have new games to play each time!

Great to keep sharpening up the brain power. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Word search *2021-03-25, version 1.5.1* The game keeps freezing with ads....first couple games ok..but after that games freeze ### 1/5 — Please Keep Easy I cannot play please *2021-03-15, version 1.5.1* I am unable able to play I need help ### 1/5 — Unbelievable *2021-03-11* Update: Deleted!!! This game is crap!! Stay away from it!!! Absolutely stupid developers!!! It’s crazy that SOOOOO many people have complained about the game freezing....me included!!! Yet nothing gets done. The developers respond with their scripted “can you email support?” Bull crap!! You know there’s a problem WHY. DON’T. YOU. JUST. FIX. IT!!!! 0 stars is to much for this game right now. Could be an enjoyable game if you’d fix it! ### 1/5 — What happened? *2021-01-29, version 1.5.1* This used to be a great game. Latest update has a major glitch. Freezes up. Ad overlaps game and cannot see all the letters. Don’t bother getting this until it gets fixed ### 1/5 — Constant crash *2021-01-26, version 1.5.1* Boring game ### 1/5 — Crashing every day *2020-09-19, version 1.5.1* This is one of my favorite games, but lately it seems to crash in the middle of play almost every day! What’s up? Needs a fix! Now with iOS 14 hardly functional! Please update! ### 1/5 — Word Star crashes *2020-02-15, version 1.5.1* Word star crashes as soon as I start to play, an ad comes in at the TOP of the game and crashes it. 😫Missing my favorite mind game. ### 1/5 — Too easy *2019-01-19, version 1.5.1* Boring, not challenging at all. ### 1/5 — Lack of imagination. *2016-09-18, version 1.5* This game only seems to have a dozen or so puzzles that they keep rotating over and over. Most puzzles only have 10-12 words in it. Most are single line words one on top of the other, not even close to a challenge. ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2016-01-09, version 1.4.1* This app either freezes or just crashes multiple times every game. Uninstalled! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Concentrate, fun and enjoyable. *2025-07-17, version 1.6.20* It is good for the mind. Relax and spend a delightful 30 minutes and play. ### 5/5 — Word Search Star *2025-06-12* Searching for words is relaxing for me. This has options that I enjoy! The music I wish I could choose and alternate. I don’t dislike it, just wish for choices! Otherwise, it’s good for me! ### 5/5 — Soundtrack *2025-01-12* Hey guys I love the game but I also have an insane obsession with your soundtracks, where can I find the music (if at all) because I’ll literally just open up the menu or the actual word puzzle just to listen to it since I already have done very single puzzle ### 5/5 — Classic game *2024-11-20* I have been playing this game since my first iPad and still really enjoy playing it. ### 5/5 — Word search *2024-09-11, version 1.6.20* This is a great game ### 5/5 — Fun and entertaining *2024-06-12, version 1.6.20* I love this game! ### 5/5 — Myra’s review. *2024-06-04, version 1.6.20* I love this game. It helps me think. It also keeps me calm. Thank a lot for this game. ### 5/5 — Love the challenge *2024-05-06, version 1.6.20* I try to beat my best time. So much fun. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game with different levels of challenge *2024-04-12, version 1.6.20* Excellent Game with different levels of challenge ### 5/5 — Good to kill time *2023-11-16, version 1.6.20* The best word game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
