WordStorm for Positive User Reviews

No soundIOS 15 appears to have broken sound for this. Rebooted etc etc. Still no fix. Would reinstall but would lose years of stats..Version: 3.3.1

Changes and updates neededGreat game! Very addictive and fun, but changes need to be made. The game should accept ALL words but assign a point value for each word. Hints should be available for weaker players, more dictionaries, words in alphabetical order, just to name a few..Version: 3.2

Favourite waste of timeLove it! Sometimes so frustrating when I've only got one word to find or alternatively I can only find about five. Love learning new words, would love for it to have an inbuilt dictionary..Version: 2.3

Needs to syncThis is a great game. The only downside I see is that it doesn't sync across devices. It would be great if I could start a game at home on my iPad, and then continue the same game on my iPhone while on the go. Any plan to make that happen?.Version: 2.3

AwesomeGreat thinking game looks good too..Version: 2.2

Great game!!I love to play any game of the words. This game is great! It makes me think to find correct word!.Version: 0

Great appGreat app. My dad and I compete to see who can get the higher percentage of words all the time and used it over a year. But would love to see a dictionary part of it where you click on a word to see what it means if you aren't sure. Very addicting and at times can't put it down..Version: 2.3

Also addictedThis is my favorite type of word puzzle so I was delighted to find it as an app. It is addictive and a lot of fun. I don't think that pleurals should be permitted as a separate word but apart from that Wordstorm is great fun and gets you thinking..Version: 2.3

My most used appLove this game and play it daily (and have caught up on all previous days). Always aim to hit 90%+ and find it challenging and addictive. Recommend to all word game lovers (especially if you play the polygon in the Times)..Version: 2.3

Needs a little moreThis is a fun game, passes time. I love trying to find the words and get most of them, but some words are not common. I think the dictionary needs to expand because I have put in words that were not recognized, and they are common..Version: 0

AddictiveI have always loved playing the daily nine letter word in the newspaper, so it is great to be able to have it in colour and so handy. I look forward to being challenged everyday. I just wish that the answers were organised in alphabetical order and that I didn't get "booed" if I've decided to give up on finding an illusive word or two. I also find that many words, that can be found in a dictionary, are considered "slang or colloquialism". Other than these few small gripes, it is a great and highly addictive game. Well worth purchasing!.Version: 2.3

Word stormBrilliant game but today very disappointed as there is no daily game. It's the new year and have played everyday. Please bring it on!.Version: 3.1

AddictedI get hints from friends playing this around the world using WhatsApp. I can't go a day without playing this game. I have also suggested my students who have English as an Additional play this game to increase their vocabulary. My most loved word game..Version: 2.3

WordstormI enjoy these 9 worders in mags. Its a good word game but would be made better if there was an option to save a game then return later to finish. I found this frustrating as finding words can take time, so good if you can come back later. How about an update on a good game. Aussie gamer Update for me.......... I see how you can get back to the game you havent finished, and game of the day. its addictive!!!!.Version: 2.3

EnjoyableI have only just bought this app and hoped it would be as enjoyable as the similar games found in the newspapers. In that I am not disappointed but I really would like to play more than once a day. So far I have been able to find and complete the puzzles for the preceding six weeks but that is all. I appreciate the information given when I attempt a word (a valid word but not one to be found etc.) and the clue in the numbers of dots in the word list. I would have given five stars if there had been the chance to play more than one game a day..Version: 3.1.1

Favourite gameFIXED - Thank you for the prompt response. ============== I’ve been playing this game regularly since 2012, but the latest update seems to have removed the ability to change the size of the font which is now fixed at an extremely uncomfortable to read large size … please correct.Version: 3.3.3

Love this game, but new version is choppyThis is one of my favorite games by far...but this new version isn't great. Every time the letters are shuffled, it's very choppy/glitchy and the new font is distracting. Wish I could have the old version back....Version: 3.1

Incomplete word listsA very enjoyable word game in essence. I can accept that the 40 “most popular” words are used, and also accept that some words are “valid word, but not one of the answers”. I cannot accept that there are many simple words that are simply not recognised. One day recently the 9 letter word was allotting, but the only full 9 letter anagram of the word (totalling) was not even recognised as a valid word. There have been many cases where shorter valid words are not recognised or are shown as “slang or a colloquialism” when they are in use widely across the UK, where genuine slang words are included on the list. Fun, but needs a new and better dictionary, with clearer definitions..Version: 3.2

WordstormBrilliant, challenging and addictive. Wish there were more like this one!.Version: 2.1.1

Great!I have played this game every day for a couple weeks. Have never had it crash. No problems with it. Love the game! So addictive!.Version: 0

Same?Is it me or was today's game (Tuesday 4 August) exactly the same as Sunday's game?.Version: 3.1

Great word game appLove the updates, I'm a word game addict & this is one of my faves. Would prefer the word list to be in alphabetical & size order though. Also it misses out on many words that should be included..Version: 2.1

Love it StillStill love it 2 years since my last review, probably the only game still played for so long which says it is something good. Some of the spellings seem a bit odd to me. Doesn't allow some words but allows others you wouldn't imagine. I play with the intention of getting the whole word and at least 80% before we can give up. Great or filling in 5 minutes or so but addictive. Love the boo when you give up. The only thing that would improve it is to allow you turn it the other way up (helpful when charger is in place).Version: 2.3

WordstormThis app just gets better with each upgrade. Still using this great app daily after 2-years. Thank you so much!.Version: 2.3

BrilliantI have been playing this every day for seven months now. A definite for word puzzle lovers. Great.Version: 2.3

Wordstorm updateDec 15 2014: Excellent game, but 2 issues... ❗️often rejects words that work, but aren't part of the solution. It should be possible to program multiple alternative words as answers. ‼️ the words you solve are displayed in an unsightly upper case font that looks unworthy of such a great game.Version: 3.0

Great Game, but word list needs sorting out!As the title suggests it's a great game. You simply find words that are at least 4 letters long. As the words are found, they appear in a list at the bottom of the puzzle. Unfortunately, the answers are listed randomly. Can the be listed in length order, then alphabetically, so they are easier to follow, please? By that, I mean all the 4 letter words listed alphabetically, then 5's, 6's and so on..Version: 0

Awesome!This is an awesome word game. The concept is very clever, and keeps my interest alive all the time. Obviously the app has hard-coded the 35 words for each scrambled word, and that's why there are some words that won't be accepted. You know which word was entered last, because it's colored yellow. I think the developer did right in not alphabetizing the words, because that will make it easier to guess the next one and would take the fun out of the game. The whole idea is to make you think. Some suggestions: Add the ability to tap a word and find its meaning in the dictionary through internet connection. Add the ability to save each ended game, so we can tap on the list and review which words were missed, and which ones placed.. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.1

WiccadwycthGreat game to pass the time and train the brain. It annoys me that some simple everyday words do not appear in the list and that some obscure unheard of words are included. Also the list of words would be better in alphabetical order..Version: 0

Neat boggle cloneThis is a good game and recommended. The only real issue that I would suggest needs to be addressed is that the game will allow some nouns (such as Lassie and Aspen) but won't allow others (I found Spain in my current game, but it would't take it). Also, be prepared to run to your dictionary a lot...some of the puzzle words are extremely rare and arcane. I'm reasonably educated and haven't even come close to getting all the words in a puzzle. The developer might want to consider adding difficulty levels so people can actually win this game..Version: 0

Good tho not greatReally enjoy this game, which requires you to use a highlighted letter in every word. Addictive, too, however it gets pretty frustrating if you input an answer which it tells you is valid but is not one of the predefined answers. Either the word is correct or it isn't. Would have given this 5 stars otherwise. Generally, no crashes or glitches on iPad 2..Version: 2.1.1

WordstormFantastic game that has kept me enthralled for hours. Some weird word combinations make the game fiendishly clever. Pick this o e if you want a cracking word game. It's a bit like the old word search game from the papers. Recommended to everyone who likes word games. Get it now.Version: 1.1

WordstormVery addictive, but sadly many words in general use in UK are not accepted, possibly because they do not occur in the States, and the only English facility is therefore the spelling itself. Find it unusual to be able to use plurals, not the norm in the UK, as this effectively limits the variety of words which can be made. Nevertheless am very glad I bought it as it is easily accessed any time I have a few minutes spare. A useful addition would be a scoreboard for alternative players to keep their totals..Version: 1.1

Daily addictionI have played this game almost every day for years! I love it. It’s not repetitive and it’s challenging. The only things I would love to see changed are: - it’s frustrating to have found valid words that aren’t part of the solution. Other similar games reward that sort of thing. It would be great if you could earn hints for other words that you don’t know if you found the extra words - the percentage found isn’t accurate. It awards higher value to the more common words. I presume this is meant to be encouraging. I would prefer proper values. Those being said, I’m still addicted and play every day! 😜.Version: 3.3.0

Love this word gameI’ve been playing this game on and off for around five years now. Me and hubby have a competition to see who can get the highest score. You can take as long as you want to complete it, there’s no timer but you could use your own if you want a limit. Overall it’s a great little game and helps to keep my brain working!.Version: 3.3.0

Entertaining & educationalI love this game. Keeps me thinking. One thing I’d like to see added is the ability to sort found words alphabetical so I can easily see if I already found the word..Version: 3.3.3

Best appBrilliant game. I'm totally addicted....Version: 2.1.1

Well worth itI play this app a lot. Unlike the other reviewers I like the order of the words as I can tell how difficult words are that I have not yet got. It does miss some common words especially comparatives that end in 'er'. Although it says one option is a British dictionary, I think it just uses British spelling as common British words not used in the US are sometimes not accepted. There are a few obscure words at times. However, it's one of my favourite games so well done to the developer. It's certainly well worth its low cost..Version: 1.1

GreatCan be easy, can be challenging, but always fun. The best part is that there is no clock! I may work at my pace and come back over and over to any game that I have started. And it feels so great to find them all!.Version: 3.2

Features brought backLove this game. I hated that one of the updates removed random games. Thank you for bringing random games back. Great game..Version: 2.1

Change the font size back!Love this game and play it every day. But recently the font size has changed and it’s VERY BIG - far too big in my opinion. There seems to be no way of adjusting it either now. Please bring the old style back….Version: 3.3.2

Word StormPlease could we have word storm 2 we need more games to play and its the best game ever invented and most addictive puzzle I have played..Version: 2.3

4 stars, because...It's a superb word twist game. It really makes you think. The automatic submission, too, is a touch that makes it very easy to play. The game overall would earn 5 stars from me, except -- getting 100% glitches. If you do it, it doesn't count to your high scores, which is highly frustrating. If not for that, it would get 5 stars..Version: 0

SusanFinished all. I need. More please, when will we be getting some new ones, can’t wait. It’s the only game I want to play. Please please please more..Version: 3.2

Fun and challengingWith the middle letter always required in building words, that makes this game more challenging than other similar games, it definitely makes me think harder. My one issue is that the random puzzle is anything but, you'll get the same one or two puzzles over and over and over. Once you've gone through the back log of calendar date puzzles, not being able to play a random puzzle just kills the replay value of an otherwise good game. Fixing that bug would make this a 5 star game, in my opinion..Version: 2.1.1

WOW, first reviewer!!!Well, this is a very nicely done game. The graphics are very attractive to the eye and pleasant to work with. There are already quite a few of the "make all the words you can using the above letters" type games, but I'm giving this one five stars because the developer has thrown in a couple of twists to make it more unique! For one thing, you MUST use the wheel's center letter in each word, and secondly, you need words of FOUR letters or more rather than the usual three letters. There is also a Game of the Day, and that is a nice feature too. I also like the feature that once a valid word is spelled the game automatically places the word in the appropriate area without us having to "push this button" to end our word. I do think it would be neat if the center letter would change after each five or ten words or something like that, just for us old hoagies who get a certain word in our beanie that does not contain the original center letter, and leaves us frustrated because we can't use the really neato word running around in our peabrain. LOL. I'd also like to see a push button spin of the wheel rather than having to shake the iPod. I truly love word games, and this one is no exception. All in all, I'm impressed, and I know I shall enjoy many, many pleasurable hours with this fine game! THANKS!!!!!.Version: 0

Sooo addictiveI love this game on my iPad! I play it constantly. I'm learning new big words although I can never use them since I don't actually know the definitions! The only thing I would change if possible is I wish you could still see the clock while you're playing. (the actual time of day, not how long you've been playing) And for people complaining about basic words not being in there, it has to be a real world, not slank or abbreviated word. For example, bike may not be in there but I'm sure bicycle is..Version: 0

AddictedMy husband and I are now addicted to this game. Though I agree with some of the other reviewers that it is frustrating when you find a real word that is not in the solution, it is nice not having a lot of really obscure words clogging up the solution lists as happens in a lot of games..Version: 2.1.1

Perfect SimplicityI love this game for its purity and lack of drama. My partner and I both play individually through the day and then collate our words to see how high we can get the score. My only issue was how small the words were when I changed to a new phone, but from the update note on here, I realised I could pinch to zoom, which solved the problem. Don’t change a thing - this app is great..Version: 3.3.3

Word stormI love this game..Version: 3.1

Excellent!This was the first game I EVER bought on iOS. I still play it now. It is superb to play and really makes me think. It is excellent for taking my mind off every day mundane crap but educates me at the same time. I really don't mind the new interface as in my opinion Content Is King!!!.Version: 3.0

GreatI've been looking for something like this app for ages, great to pass the time & help increase your word power. Would like to see the word list in alphabetical order,.Version: 2.1.1

Terrific stress reliever! (its limitations are OK, but it has just a few flaws)What I like about Wordstorm—which has different rules than the similar Spelling Bee and NO hints (a good thing): (1) choice between US & British English, (2) only one puzzle a day, so you can't get obsessed with it, (3) keeps track of your daily scores in calendar format, (4) it's challenging, but not so much so that you can't get 100% every day, after a brief learning curve, (4) the letters you've already typed in light up in different colors, so you can easily tell what you've got left to work with, (5) little dotted lines show you how many letters there are in the words you haven't found yet, (6) tells you when a word is invalid either because it's slang or just not accepted (although it doesn't pick up on *all* the valid words), (7) no clock, so it's a real stress reliever for me: I complete it every morning before breakfast, so it's a great way to start off the day, (8) the sound effects are mildly amusing, but you can turn them off, (9) you can hit the surrender flag to see what you missed. Note: I haven't tried the 2-person version. If it adds a speed element, that would be a turn-off. And I'm hitting 100% every day anyway, so I'm not sure what the point would be.) KEY TIP: you *do* have to accept its limitations. You're solving for the words they accept, not the ones they don't. After a couple of weeks, I found the range of accepted words pretty predictable. For the most part, the game's limitations are a feature, not a bug. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS: (1) please arrange the words you've found in ALPHA order, (2) be more consistent about accepting "er" endings of verbs. Why "iced" and "dicer," for example, but not "icer"?, (3) add a comment forum like the one the NYTimes Spelling Bee has, so Wordstorm fans can form a community. Thanks!.Version: 3.3.1

Great word game...best? Quite possibly.I love word games and above all, I'm choosing to play this...addictive? I'd say so..Version: 1.0

Game of the day is brokenOne of the best things about this app was being able to play the Game of the Day, and it was guaranteed to always be the same game across all devices. This was a great way to challenge a friend knowing that both of you were playing exactly the same game. Since the latest update this is no longer the case. The Game of the Day might just as well be another random game. It differs between my iPhone 4 and iPad, and also my fiancée's iPhone 3GS. It used to be the same game across all three. Please can this be fixed? UPDATE: Now fixed. Fantastic update. Now 5 stars. Many thanks!.Version: 2.0

Love the daily puzzlesSome are more challenging than others, but they all get you thinking. Would love to see the display updated for the X/Xs/11 style of phones..Version: 3.2

Compulsive ..Addictive, competitive enjoyable etc. several family members all hooked. But as others have said the word list is also deeply frustrating with some very odd choices included and other common ones disallowed. I also agree that the words need to be listed in order. So a few minor adjustments and then would be 5 stars.Version: 2.3

Can’t access 2022Been playing for years. First time this has happened.Version: 3.3.1

Highly addictiveLove this game. Great for giving your brain a workout in a short amount of time. I've been playing it daily for over a year!.Version: 2.3

Great!Great app! Keeps the mind busy. Am very impressed..Version: 0

Good game needs a few thingsI have enjoyed this game, but there a few things I would like added. I love that I don't have to hit an "enter the word" button, the auto recognition is a great feature. Love the challenge of having to use the center letter. 1: listing the words in alphabetical order 2: challenge level, I would like to be able to complete a puzzle 3: might think about a hints button 4: maybe 3 letter words for the lower levels, my son that is in the 7th grade has tried to play the game and is having an even harder time than me but he enjoys word games 5: a last button to pull up the last word typed so that you can add an ending to it (s,d,ing) I did notice a few words that I think should have counted that didn't. One game requiring M wouldn't take math as a word, there were others but they are not coming to mind at this time. Thank you for the game.Version: 0

Word stormI agree with the other reviews but don't download word storm lite it is unplayable the dates are locked and no way to unlocked also you carnet submit a complaint.Version: 2.3

So many words not acceptedIt’s a fun app..Version: 3.3.1

Only 1 issueIf they update to put the words made in alphabetical order (as MANY other reviews have also suggested) I would give five stars. Very good game, but having to peruse the entire block of made words to find one you want to see if you did already is a major Pain in the behind. Really, aside from that, it a great word game. I do seem to make a lot of words that get me the message that they are valid, but not part of the solution- but that is only annoying when I am stuck at 75% and really want those to count! :-).Version: 2.3

Good word gameI love this game, but... Some of the choices of acceptable words are a little ridiculous. For example, AHEM (as if clearing one's throat) is an acceptable word, but MATH is deemed slang or a colloquialism? Also, words that are found should be listed in alphabetical order and sorted by number of letters..Version: 2.3

Random Words! Wooo hoooo!Hi Sean, Thank you for putting random words options back. 5 stars! :).Version: 2.1

FAO DeveloperText size now restored so I can now change font size. Thank you. ☺️ I discovered years ago you can change the text size by double tapping the screen. That’s very handy. This morning the font got changed inadvertently. Unfortunately it seems to be stuck on the largest font and I can’t change the font size. 🫤 Can you please help?.Version: 3.3.3

So much betterThank you for changing. Now I will use it every day again. It's even better than the original, that we all liked! So well done!!!.Version: 3.1

AddictiveI find these types of games addictive. It keeps my old brain active, lol! The only frustration is that often I make a word and it won't accept it. It acknowledges that you've made a valid word but it's not part of the list. Other than that I actually find it more challenging than text twist2..Version: 2.3

JuappledyThis is easily the best word game. I have played it since my first iPad. It is the first game I play every morning - it has become a ritual. I love the simplicity and lack of ads. Thanks for a great game.Version: 3.2

AddictiveThis word game is totally addictive. Brilliant value for money! Cx.Version: 2.1.1

Great game!I love this game! The only way I can see to improve it would be to add a feature to display the words in alphabetical order. This way you could find the words you have already used easier. This would be especially helpful if you find some words, leave, then come back later to find more..Version: 2.3

Great game in need of a dictionary updateDelightful little brain burner which has given me likely hundreds of hours of joy at this point. It’s held back only by what feels like an old fashioned dictionary in need of updating. When “buss” is considered the most common word on the grid (a word I’ve never encountered in my life) something is wrong, and many other seemingly valid words simply aren’t recognised. I would also prefer that scoring be weighted towards the less common and therefore harder words, or just evenly distributed, but I can see why the developer made the choice they did..Version: 3.3.3

Love itI love this type of game and this the best one I've seen. You can play at your own pace and the words are challenging enough to make it interesting. I would like to see the found words in alphabetical order to make it easier to see if you've already found a word. I'd also like to have a button to mix up the letters instead of shaking my iPad. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks..Version: 0

New additionIt would be great to have this app capable of displaying/playing horizontal in addition to vertical (when rotating the screen, having the screen flip according to how the iPad is held). Adding a clock display that shows what time it is in your area and how long you have been playing a puzzle would be great as well. I'm not a big fan of the dictionary that was used for these puzzles seeing how half these words are a little far fetch; but I can say, it does make them very challenging..Version: 2.1.1

GreatReally simple design but id happily pay 2.49 for the app absolutlty well made.Version: 1.0

LOVE this game!Our whole family...ages 9 through 79...played this over Thanksgiving and we were all addicted. This is my favorite iPad game right now. I love word games and this one is simple to play but challenging enough to keep you hooked. Highly recommended..Version: 1.1

The best game I have playedThis game can be so frustrating being told that a word isn't valid…… however I have been playing this game for years. Many games I have played and become bored. This game however is one of the first apps I ensure is uploaded on ever new device I upgrade to! I love it and recommend it to everyone.Version: 3.1.2

Good gameMuch better. Good game for exercising your vocabulary..Version: 2.1

Now that's better....Thank you for listening...Version: 3.1

Glencoe23This is absolutely brilliant sooooooo addictive and really gets your brain going.Version: 2.1.1

Great gameThis is realy good all the family loves it on ipod and ipad realy educational..Version: 1.0

One of the better word gamesI do like a good word game, and this is one of the better ones I've played. The principle is simple, find words made from the letters shown. As a twist, any words have to contain the letter in the middle of the board. I pretty much have only two annoyances. One, I'd like to be able to see the words and placeholders in the solution grouped by the number of letters. As it is, it's really hard to see how many letters are in any remaining words. Two, and this really bugs me - the game goes to great pains to point out if you find a word that it considers 'slang or a colloquialism'. For one, it's inconsistent - 'scam' is considered slang, but 'snot' isn't? But also, what does it matter? If the word can be found in the dictionary, it should be valid in a word game..Version: 3.3.1

Come on people!Just what i hoped! As for the moaning in other reviews, come on people!.... the answers are the most popular!! Not just random... if your valid word is not excepted.. then its not one of the most popular.. its a refreshing change to other games where you have to drudge through every word ever spoken to finish... yawn... yawn.. also its a "daily".. challenge.. perfect! Some of us cant even fit in enough time to relax with that... some of us still work you know.. this is only my opinion, its how i see it, don't change a thing, its great just as it is... thank you! Just what i was looking for... my work breaks will be better for it!!.Version: 3.1.1

Word orderLove the game, just wish there was an option to list words alphabetically instead of by difficulty/score. It can be annoying to enter a word only to have it accepted before I finish typing it. Example, wanted to type in defended but word was entered after typing defend. Only then did it accept defend with different endings..Version: 3.3.1

What a great appJust downloaded this app. What a refreshing experience to find something innovative and genuinely original. What can I say, easy to pick up, utterly addictive, and within minutes the whole family were gathered round trying to come up with words. Fun and Educational. What can I say, great app. Well done !!!!! Al kingsley.Version: 0
