Word Shaker HD App Reviews

Please see my previous review below for game play description. My complaint right now is that the display of scoring is really terrible since the iOS 8 update. The numbers are SO TINY. They look like little ants on the screen just running up to the top. When the game is finished, the font is also SO TINY that it is nearly impossible to read. I have written to the developers and hope they will update the game. The last update was in 2013. Hopefully they wont abandon this nice little word game. I really love word puzzle games and this one is really fine. You can select the size of the grid as well as the length of time to work on it. You can shuffle the board 3 times. I really like the time selection feature because I like to play these games while doing (or waiting to do) other things. Very good word puzzle game.

Used to be the best word game out there. Then a couple of updates and they ruined it. They control when and where certain letters appear. And they did not bother to update for ios8. Do not buy. Look how old the good reviews are.

Thank you so much for the update! This is one of my favorite apps. And Im so happy I can continue to play it with iOS8 now. THANKS!!!

The game is fun and I like the variety of board sizes. However, connecting the letters does not always occur very smoothly. The other issue is that the vocabulary of words still needs improvement - I have connected letters that I know are words (common, not-necessarily sophisticated words) that the program does not credit with a score. Otherwise, its a fun game to play!

The only thing good about the game in my opinion so far is "cheaters" seem to be nonexistent! Unlike the free word seeker games..... I and you can wish that management would update games played offline sooner, however its obvious this will never happen!!! Then its the crummy letters you get, while playing single games, so you can practice for head to head games with other online players. About "CHEATERS" theyre definitely playing, because the scores are way to high. Then the words allowed are mostly, medical & other scientific terms.

Its a good challenge to have the timed games. I see no reason to nit pick. Its fun and I bought the full version!

The paid version is so much better than the free version. The app doesnt freeze up anymore and its well worth $3 to remove that aggravation. Im glad I took the chance.

Slick interface, very responsive board UI. The EA Boggle/Scramble With Friends replacement Ive been looking for!

Im enjoying the game, though not as much as I would if it had a better dictionary. The one it uses contains too many words not in anyones vocabulary, even the most erudite professor of historical linguistics. At the same time, it leaves out real words that, while obscure, are still in use. So the game rewards memorizing lists of non-words rather than developing a better vocabulary. Other than that, its fine.

I used the free app for several years until the adds became unbearably intrusive and loud. The minimal cost to do away with those awful ads is well worth the money since I use this app often. Like other reviewers, I notice words that are arcane and peculiar to the British Isles. So what? It still offers hours of fun and an opportunity to learn while enjoying myself. I wish there were a way to eliminate 3-letter words (there used to be) from the total word count, but thats a small quibble for a great game.

Been playing for about a year. I had the game with ads and finally bought this one cuz I get sick of ads and its really not all that expensive. I like all the options they have for time limits or untimed. Actually I like pretty much everything about this game....but....isnt there always: Some words dont show up as words, some do that I cant believe are. Not that many though. If you like to play the untimed games cuz you just want it for relaxing, then the more you play the harder it is, which wouldnt be a problem if they would swap them up. After awhile youll be doing good to get 65% (more recently 60%), of the words where I was getting over 80-90%. Im afraid if I keep playing, pretty soon it wont be as much fun simply because the words are way to hard to make...I mean maybe if they "were" words Ive heard even once in my life.. Overall, for the price you cant beat it. Ive written this long review for those of you, who, like me, really like these kind of games, to give you a heads up...

... Id love to be able to get hints for remaining (unfound) words & pay for them as well. I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but Im not the dullest either... On any given puzzle (with the largest number of letters) I am always hundreds of words short of the total!! ^~^

Played a few days and deleted it. Not worth the cost either.

The game use to rank you but all of a sudden, it stopped doing that. I have contacted the developer but I didnt hear back. I even bought the app thinking it was that. It still doesnt work. Please fix this problem!!!
