Anagrams—the art of rearranging letters in one word to make another—have been around for centuries. Now, you can have the power of this important medium in the palm of your hand. Astound your friends when you point out that 'App Store,' rearranged spells 'pesto rap,' or that iPhone, rearranged, spells 'hip one.' There are better ones, but it's up to you to pick up the Anagram Machine and find them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Anagram Machine at Free against Sound Effects Boards Pro's $3.99. Anagram Machine also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 14 months vs every 33 months). Sound Effects Boards Pro's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 39%). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
