Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love that this app is in landscape. There are abundant ads; we hate the ads we cant fast forward through. We wish the app rerouted you back to the puzzle page when a puzzle is completed. All in all not a bad app.
Paid to get ad-free game but still get ads… Rip off.
Interstitial ads make Baby Jesus cry. This app makes Him weep, since there are so many of them.
We played this game daily, loved it! Now, with all of the ads, we cant stand to play anymore. Ads after every game, switch screen and get more ads. Ad overkill.
We play this daily. We like being able to set the difficulty level. It is easy to see, unlike some WS apps. It plays landscape, unlike other WS apps we have. Down side is definitely the ads between games, but that is a minor inconvenience compared to how much enjoyment we get from playing.
We love word searchgames & this one is great, just want more catagories.
This app is so much fun to play . Helps us out to pass the time.
Fun; we believe it's for quick play/young people, etc. Overall; Good.
We were much happier with the game before it was recently undated. Now there is an ad between each game. We are not interested in the games that are advertised. We did notice today that some ads are easier dismissed than others. That is not too bothersome. We enjoy the game because it is one that we can do and try to beat our own times.
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, we have found a number of them to be very offensive to us personally…we are not into blood and gore for any reason. We understand that the ads pay for maintaining the game, but we may stop using this app for wordsearches due to the ads.
Its ok to kill time with. Too many pop ups at the start of new games.
This was our favorite pass time until it turned into the HD version! Now we have to deal with ads popping into the middle of our word search and now the game often freezes. We liked it better before.
We've had this game for a while and loved it up until they removed all the extra categories we had purchased. Emailed support several times and have never received a response.
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.
But now it aborts as soon as it opens.
When this was updated, we can no longer access the program on our iPad. The page comes up and then disappears, not allowing us to play.
Love playing this game. Enjoy all the different categories.
We always loved word search games, and this one is great! As easy or as challenging as you want. Can't put it down.
We enjoy it. We've only played a few times. We haven't tried all the categories yet.
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.
Everything works great. No complaints. We wish there were more categories, but it's a great ap.
Love it. Keep adding different subjects. Can you add timed puzzles, where you have to beat the clock. Thanx. Hughesbunnygirl.
This is our favorite word game! Love it.
Love this game,specially how u can enlarge or reduce the letters in your puzzle.
Works great, play it at lunchtime.
Game is great to play.. The hidden words are sometimes a challenge but do show up if you get really stumped. Worth the download. You will play this one often.
We love this game but we quickly realized we could not listen to our music and play the game. Once you swip the first word the music stops. So much for having background music while we play.
Fun, a way to pass time quickly while waiting for apps.
Love this….now our grand children fight to play.
Fun to play when bored or passing time.
This is a good app with three different levels, easy, medium and hard. Great was to pass some time.
Like it a lot – great way to pass the time.
We do this word search almost every night. It is one of our favorites.
We have thoroughly enjoyed doing these word searches. It has become one of our favorite games to play. Only one complaint, it doesn't seem to pause if needed after starting a word search. Still a great game.
Love it…. The entire family can play.
Love losing ourselves in this and having fun.
Easy to play but those "hard" big searches are killers! Great way to hone your searching skills.
It's a challenge to find the answers quickly.
We enjoy playing this and love the different categories.
Nice game, we wonder if we upgraded would all of those pop ups for other game apps come up, that is annoying. But still nice to play thank you.
Wish there were more categories other than that really like and it is great for our grandchildren to learn spelling and visual skills.
But we wish they had more variety in the puzzle subjects, and more than 3 new puzzles daily.
Way too easy. Same words over & over & over.
Love this game! We think their should be mote categories though for puzzles of the day.
Lots of puzzles…fun…cheap…what's better than that.
We love this app. Absolutely no complaints (other than the fact the we're addicted to it).
We're glad we found this word puzzle, AFKSoft got it just right, lots of choices with subjects and words, and puzzles in shapes and colors…….we like it so much we got all the word puzzles they have…..try it, we're glad we did…….agypsygirl.
This app is the best it's easy to download and fun to play you even have daily puzzles. It's nice and easy to do and your family would love to sit down and help you.
Excellent game. Love playing it. Always a challenge.
Fun, easy to use. Works great, highly recommended.
