Repeating words after 10 words…check. Almost 200K English words and it repeats after 10. Put in a simple logic check to not repeat a word if it has been used in past 300 words and store it as data on device. Done…then it’s perfect. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Once the list of words has been cycled through, words will be repeated. In the free version there is a limited number of words. If you purchase one of the Word Packs, you'll have a lot more words and less chance of repeat. Thanks! ### 4/5 — I like it *2022-05-16* I’m using this app for probably a not very common reason, It looks like most people are using this for games. I use this to generate a random word to say and come back to everyday. So if I ever don’t know what to say in a situation I’ll go back to that word. It’s really fun and brings humor and conversation starters abroad. Also works good when your with a group and want something to talk about. **Developer response:** That's a really interesting use for the app, thanks for the review! ### 3/5 — Not enough words *2019-12-01* Game is good however the app does not have enough words! My friends used up all the words plus got more words through paying and finished all of them in one sitting! **Developer response:** The word pack has an extra 1000 words... sorry to hear you ran out! Will consider adding extra word packs. Thanks for using the app and reviewing. ### 4/5 — Play with Songs! *2019-11-24* Please make this more song friendly like the word association Elle magazine is doing with celebrities. They see a word and have to think of lyrics from a song that has the word in 10 seconds! **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion, that's a great idea! Thanks for the review. ### 3/5 — It’s okay but it could do with more *2019-03-21, version 1.6.0* It’s purpose is nothing but a random word generator, everyone already has timers on their phones. So there should really be more features to fill the app, like categories of words, and you shouldn’t have to pay actual money so that an app may give you a few more randomly generated words ### 3/5 — Good but... *2019-02-02* Well I think it’s a little bit weird the fact you have to pay for more words other than that me and my friend used this to complete a craft that had something. To do with the word **Developer response:** Great to hear you were able to use the app for your craft. We don't show any ads so the only way of supporting the app is through in-app purchases of the word packs. ### 2/5 — Only limited words *2018-06-10* Not enough words **Developer response:** Thank you for the review. You can purchase the Word Pack for more words. ### 4/5 — Great Game. *2017-12-26* Great game, wish there were a lot more easy and medium words that would work with kids and family. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and feedback! Did you try purchasing the Word Pack expansion? It includes over 700 easy and medium words. ### 2/5 — Not Alarmimg *2017-12-19* If this app had an alarm when the timer runs down it would be a good app. **Developer response:** Yes it does have an alarm sound when the timer runs out. Please make sure your phone is not in silent mode (switch on the side of your phone) and the volume is turned up. Hope that works! Thanks. ### 5/5 — Mistaken *2017-09-25* Thought it to be pictionary app but was word generator.. got confused and rated one⭐️ hence updating the review **Developer response:** The app description states it’s for generating words to be used in party games such as pictionary. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Good stand-in for classic Pictionary *2016-12-30* This app nicely replaces the heavy box of cards and the timer used by the physical game Pictionary. You still need paper and pencil, but that's all. Very nice to save weight for travel applications. There are 3 choices for words (easy, medium, and hard) and the timer can be set for whatever you want. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the comments! Developing an app takes a lot of time and effort, and feedback like this is great to hear. Drawing capabilities may be coming in a future release. Thanks again! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No *2026-06-01* No ### 1/5 — Actually takes the mick *2024-04-01, version 1.7.0* You have a limited amount of words then have to pay for more, you pay for words, utter insanity ### 1/5 — You have to buy more words *2019-03-24* Started playing Pictionary with my family and we didn’t even get through a full game before the words started to repeat! **Developer response:** There is a limited number of words in the free version. You can purchase the Word Pack for more words. We don't show any ads so the only way of supporting continued development is through in-app purchases. Thanks for the review. ### 1/5 — No random words *2018-01-07* The words aren’t random. With easy words set there are like 20 words it cycles through. **Developer response:** There is a limited number of words in the free version. You can purchase the Word Pack for more words. Thanks. ### 1/5 — App won’t let me upgrade *2018-01-05* Not enough words to use to play a full game and then won’t let you buy more words **Developer response:** Sorry to hear the upgrade option is not available. We try our best to test all scenarios and devices but might have missed something. To debug further please send us feedback through the app and explain the problem your seeing. Hopefully we can resolve it in the next release. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-11-26* The free app is useless aa the words run out very soon. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you find the app useless. You can purchase the Word Pack for more words. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Doesn't even work *2017-08-26* Can't even open the app **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that! It would be great to know what device and iOS version you're using so we can debug further. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2017-01-16* You run out of words so quickly that it's not even worth downloading. The app has one job and doesn't even do it for longer than a round or two. Whomever made this app needs to expand the word options. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The latest release of the app has more words for purchase. Try it out! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-12-03, version 1.2.0* You can't even draw. Waste of time👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Don't get it *2016-05-06, version 1.1.0* What do you do ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple App, Great Value *2021-06-27* We used this for Pictionary and made it through a whole game with 4 people and no repeat words, and no technical issues. Absolutely worth $1 for the word pack, so we purchased it for next time. One suggestion for improvement would be a start screen/button so opening the app doesn’t immediately give you a word, causing the phone’s owner to see it when they’re not the current player. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review and the purchase! Your suggestion about not showing the first word on startup is a great idea. We'll consider that for the next update. Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-12-28* Great game! **Developer response:** Glad you like it.. thanks for the feedback! ### 5/5 — So far this is perfect *2020-02-23* Just need an app that provided the words and a timer for the words so we can play Pictionary. I found this to work perfectly. Only bad thing was eventually you run out of words and other then “Christmas” topic there was no option to buy any more words. **Developer response:** Appreciate the review and glad you liked it! ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-12-27* Simple, exactly what I was looking for. Planning to pay for more words the next time I play. Would be cool if it was expanded to include different categories like Pictionary **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and glad you like it. More categories is a great idea, thanks! ### 5/5 — Nice but *2018-10-11* I use it in my classroom for pictionary but it would be easier if the time could be adjusted without having to go to the settings menu. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review and feedback! I think the intention is that you set the timer value once and don't change it during the game. However everyone uses the app and plays the game differently so this input is appreciated. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Get it! Its worth having! *2018-05-31, version 1.5.0* Excellent for family and friends! Super easy to use! ### 5/5 — Best party game ever! *2017-12-31* So much fun! **Developer response:** Glad you had fun, thanks so much for the review! ### 5/5 — Yay *2017-12-09* So easy and simple. Challenging and easy words for everyone. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review and comments! ### 5/5 — Great app for Pictionary *2017-12-03* I purchased a dry erase board and only needed the words, this app is perfect for that! The free version doesn’t have a ton of words, but the word pack is only .99cents for a lot more words, I think the developer deserves the .99cents so I will purchase once I get my iPad. Everyone had a great night drawing the words, the only thing I wish it had was a score keeper of some sort but that’s not a big deal. **Developer response:** Thank you for the great comments and feedback! We don't show any ads so the only way of supporting continued development is through in-app purchases. So we appreciate you purchasing the Word Pack. A score keeper feature is in the works - stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Easier than a dictionary *2017-11-27* Downloaded this and had a great evening of laughter. Looking forward to more great evenings **Developer response:** Great to hear you enjoyed the app!
