There are abundant ads; I hate the ads I can’t fast forward through. I wish the app rerouted you back to the puzzle page when a puzzle is completed. All in all not a bad app. ### 4/5 — Good but..................................................................................... *2019-02-20, version 2.6* It’s good but I don’t understand the settings,but I love the wordsearches ### 3/5 — Good game...poor ads *2016-05-05, version 2.0* This is a very good word search game. The ads are not so good. There are to many of them and the content of the ads is not appropriate to all ages of audiences who might want to play it. Also, I have found a number of them to be very offensive to me personally...I am not into blood and gore for any reason. I understand that the ads pay for maintaining the game, but I may stop using this app for wordsearches due to the ads. ### 4/5 — Word Search *2015-12-12, version 2.0* Fun; I believe it's for quick play/young people, etc. Overall; Good! ### 3/5 — Wood search review *2015-12-01, version 2.0* Its ok to kill time with. Too many pop ups at the start of new games ### 4/5 — Word search *2014-07-29, version 2.0* I was much happier with the game before it was recently undated. Now there is an ad between each game. I am not interested in the games that are advertised. I did notice today that some ads are easier dismissed than others. That is not too bothersome. I enjoy the game because it is one that I can do and try to beat my own times. ### 3/5 — Word Search *2013-12-30, version 2.0* This was my favorite pass time until it turned into the HD version! Now I have to deal with ads popping into the middle of my word search and now the game often freezes. I liked it better before! ### 3/5 — Words *2013-05-08, version 1.6* Nice game, I wonder if I upgraded would all of those pop ups for other game apps come up, that is annoying. But still nice to play thank you. ### 4/5 — Fun *2013-04-04, version 1.6* Fun to play when bored or passing time. ### 3/5 — Great fun *2013-02-20, version 1.6* Wish there were more categories other than that really like and it is great for my grandchildren to learn spelling and visual skills ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-12-31, version 1.6* Everything works great. No complaints. I wish there were more categories, but it's a great ap. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate the ads even when paying to get ad-free game *2020-10-04, version 2.6* Paid to get ad-free game but still get ads... rip off. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2020-06-01, version 2.6* Interstitial ads make Baby Jesus cry. This app makes Him weep, since there are so many of them. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2018-09-12, version 2.6* I played this game daily, loved it! Now, with all of the ads, I can’t stand to play anymore. Ads after every game, switch screen and get more ads. Ad overkill! ### 1/5 — Don't purchase categories *2015-09-25, version 2.0* I've had this game for a while and loved it up until they removed all the extra categories I had purchased. Emailed support several times and have never received a response. ### 1/5 — Crash prone *2015-03-10, version 2.0* This app needs updating. Crashes repeatedly when trying to open the app. Once open, movement is very, very slow. It was fun once, but now it is frustrating to play due to the speed, assuming you can get the app to open. ### 1/5 — It was a Nice game *2014-01-16, version 2.0* but now it aborts as soon as it opens. ### 1/5 — Word. Search HD *2014-01-15, version 2.0* When this was updated, I can no longer access the program on my iPad. The page comes up and then disappears, not allowing me to play. ### 2/5 — Word search HD *2014-02-10, version 2.0* The app itself for word search is OK. It is a competitive game and time consuming once you are involved. What I hate is the constant pop ups after each game you finish and it really makes me mad because before the last update it didn't happen. It now puts me off playing the game like I used to. I paid to get more subjects and don't think these constant updates should be there.how do I get these interruptions stopped? ### 2/5 — Boring!! *2012-12-20, version 1.6* Way too easy. Same words over & over & over. ### 2/5 — Crashes? *2010-04-03, version 0* This app seems to work great. But does crash when entering landscape mode. And crashed randomly after I finished a game. Great time killer otherwise! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT! *2019-09-11, version 2.6* This is one of the very best wordsearch programs in the App store. Thoroughly enjoyable. Lightspring2000, Ottawa, ON ### 5/5 — ClareBear62 *2018-10-13, version 2.6* Fun Game! Enjoyable! ### 5/5 — Quick and entertaining *2015-04-11, version 2.0* I play this daily. I like being able to set the difficulty level. It is easy to see, unlike some WS apps. It plays landscape, unlike other WS apps I have. Down side is definitely the ads between games, but that is a minor inconvenience compared to how much enjoyment i get from playing. ### 5/5 — Really good game *2015-04-06, version 2.0* I love word searchgames & this one is great, just want more catagories ### 5/5 — Really fun *2014-09-21, version 2.0* This app is so much fun to play .

Can't put it down. ### 5/5 — Like *2013-05-18, version 1.6* I enjoy it. I've only played a few times. I haven't tried all the categories yet. ### 5/5 — Word search *2013-04-22, version 1.6* I love it ### 5/5 — Great game *2013-01-18, version 1.6* Love the game. Three levels and the different puzzle sizes are nice. The topics are nice. More topics would be better. Great learning tool! If you don't know a word, tap it and there is the definition. Nice for all ages. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
