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 ads: Anagram Machine at none against The.Reader's shown. Anagram Machine also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). The.Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 7 months vs every 14 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
