This is it! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Good game, but too bad it sometimes loses high scores *2014-12-22, version 2.0.1* I love this game, and it's a great implementation, but sometimes I find that a particular day's high scores just vanish. I really hope that bug can be fixed. ### 5/5 — Thanks for Updating!! *2014-11-14, version 2.0.1* So very glad to see that this app was updated to work with iOS 8 and the new iPhones. It’s a favorite among my family and friends. Not to mention there isn’t as single other app in the App Store that looks anything like Wordtouch. It’s one of a kind! Thanks again. ### 5/5 — Nice new features *2010-02-17, version 0* Love the "hint" feature when you're stuck with just a few letters left. I'm learning words I never heard of. I also like being able to look back at my longest words and highest point words. This is my favorite iPod Touch game and my standard for surviving wait times anywhere I'm stuck with time to kill. Very entertaining and educational. ### 5/5 — This is a really fun game! *2009-10-22, version 0* I enjoy playing this. It was one of the first applications I added. Quite challenging at times, especially near the end! ### 2/5 — Word Touch *2009-10-05, version 0* Sorry, but this upgrade is a bust. After upgrading, and playing only one game, I cannot start a new game. You have ruined my favorite game. I cannot get the game past the (annoying) game tracker for longest word etc. I cannot believe you have no way to bypass the scoreboard for words etc., if it gets frozen. What a bust. Please restore my favorite game and allow me to enable or disable features. Or at least give me a way to restart a game without an act of congress. Shame on you for "improving" a game that was my favorite. ### 4/5 — Fun game with some flaws *2009-06-24, version 0* I had the "must reinstall app" bug which is mildly annoying. But the real thing keeping this from being a five star app is the poor dictionary. So far it hasn't recognized Mexican and Olympian and several others. It does recognize words that I don't think are actual words too. That said, this is a fun game worth your time and money. ### 5/5 — Excellent!!! *2009-05-03, version 0* This has to be the best word app there is! A really great thing about Wordtouch is that, unlike many other games, you aren't stuck with a US biased word list. Wordtouch uses one of two wordlists - either TWL or SOWPODS. TWL is a wordlist commonly used in US and Canada, while SOWPODS contains words used in other English-speaking countries. Wordtouch selects either TWL or SOWPODS based on your location, but if you are outside the US then it's worth checking that SOWPODS is set in the iPod's Settings. As for the request for a hint button, please, please, please don't include this request!. I have Chickitionary, which has a hint button and it is too tempting and easy to use - rather than trying that bit harder to find those last couple of words. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2009-04-11, version 0* I really enjoy this game. ### 1/5 — Pretty Fun *2009-03-08, version 0* I like the game: fun, simple, passes the time. A couple issues with it, though: after finishing a game, you get a blank screen and have to get back to the home page and re-enter the game. Also, the sound effects are REALLY loud, so you have to turn down your ringer while you play. ## Frequently asked questions about Wordtouch ### What is Wordtouch?
