Just like WORDSMITH on the TiVo
I loved Wordsmith on my old TiVo and was looking for a game just like it. This is it! Thank you!
Good game, but too bad it sometimes loses high scores
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.
Thanks for Updating!!
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.
Nice new features
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.

This is a really fun game!
I enjoy playing this. It was one of the first applications I added. Quite challenging at times, especially near the end!
Word Touch
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.

Fun game with some flaws
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.

Excellent!!!
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.

Lots of fun
I really enjoy this game.
Pretty Fun
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.
Great Game!!!!
I have had this game for awhile now and it is one of my favorites. Works great and the only thing it may need is something at the end when you use all the tiles besides "there is no more words left or no more tiles" or whatever it says! That we know because we used all of the tiles. It needs a big finish of some type!! Other than that, a nice game!!

Amazing, but had to reinstall
I would give it four stars because I had to reinstall it because it wouldn't let me enter a word, but it works great and is VERY addicting.
Great Game But...
I love this game and my wife and I play it often. The problem for me is that I keep hitting the little score box in the upper right corner when trying to choose a letter under the box. I then seem to hit the new game bar and lose the game I was working on. I have lost so many good "boards" because of the closeness of the box and the letters. Try it. I admit, I am pretty fast but hate to be penalized when a quick re-design would fix the problem for me and anyone else it may bother. Thanks.

Nice Game But...
This was one of the first games I bought for my iPod Touch and it worked like a charm. However, since the latest update the arrow that appears on the top left side of the screen is no longer lit green. Now when I create a word and touch the arrow nothing happens. Can we get this fixed please as the game is no longer playable.

My favourite iPhone game!
Don't let its modest looks fool you - this unique word game is simplicity itself and supremely addictive!
Gets better as you play it
I thought it was simple at first but the more you play it the better it gest. Scrabble fans will enjoy the strategy and game play in it. Decent price for the game.
Nice challenge
You won't be disappointed at all if you enjoy word building. Not as mind-racking as scrabble as there are more letters with which to work, but better for forming longer more complex words, and thus a better vocab exercise in my opinion. Simple but nice interface, the entire grid of available letters is given from the start so thinking vertically towards later words adds to the strategy. It is just you against your own word making skills, with no time limit, and games are saved where you left off. You can listen to iPod while playing. They have made a fix for the premature ending and this has worked so far. I finally have downloaded a game that will hold my interest.
Update: Purchase checkword app as a nice little word look-up utility to enhance wordtouch. Cheap, since it doesn't include definitions, but verifies usuable scrabble words and has nice anagram look-up features.

Great intention, still behind in execution
This was one of the first apps I bought. I really love word games like scrabble and this one. I wish the interface were a little less clunky, that the game wouldn't end after you're done with all the tiles (levels!), that orientation worked, etc.
Lots of initial quirks were addressed in the update, but it's still far from perfect. Responsiveness has DEFINITELY improved.

Great Game
If you like word games, you'll like this one. It saves the top 10 scores, so there is the challenge to better your last score.
Addictive Game!
What a fun little game, and the price is very reasonable. I'm enjoying the challenge of thinking both horizontally and vertically to make words. App has not crashed or had any stability problems. Well done!
