Totally not suitable for kids

I urge every parent or teacher to STAY AWAY from this app. It is absolutely not suited for children and should not be played by them!

Unsuitable language

Like the previous reviewer we have been using this app in a primary school with its intended audience - young children. Unfortunately, we also experienced the regular use of a completely unsuitable 3 letter word and we've therefore removed the app. We'd recommend adults look carefully at the program, especially when the shark gets the man and consider whether they wish their children to view the comment that is made.

Weird words

The idea of the game seems pretty fun but it needs some updating. The letters available sometimes don't make words and the 'answers' sometimes aren't even words - maybe it is in another language, or they're acronyms.
There should be options to shuffle new letters, skip, give up, etc.
I think the game has potential to be better. It's pretty fun but the dictionary in the game really do need fixing.

Unsuitable remarks

Used this within a school setting, one of the three letter remarks when something is wrong is unsuitable for children. We will be deleting.

Useless

After the update the app is nothing more but useless.i actually enjoyed this game. Hope it gets fixed.
