User Reviews for Word Shaker

Fun, but design seems dated and glitchy

Overall, this iteration of Word Shaker is pretty good. The only problem is that selecting letters sometimes is glitchy. Even though you trace a clear path across the correct letters, for some reason, very frequently this app doesn't properly recognize the letters.The user interface feels really dated as well. I wish I would have purchased the newer version of this app (by the same developer), but with a blue and yellow icon and interface. The newer version does not seem to have any of the issues with letter tracing.

This is the best version as you can change the length of the minimal letters in a word. However, it would be useful to be able to continue a game past the time limit, just to see the possibilities.Also, it would be helpful to be able to shuffle when it is inconvenient to shake,such as with an iPad I play against my self so I don't care about competition. I want the game to add to my vocabulary and not just be a addictive way to spend time. This version does not appear to be in the AppStore, which is sad as the others won't let you eliminate the boring 3 letter words

Absorbing and fun

A few things keep me from giving it five stars.The game has an issue with the touch pad sensing. -It doesn't detect a touch that is "too close" to the edge of the screen so it doesn't start the word even though you are dragging. -A certain time lag has to occur before it detects what you think is the beginning of the next word, even when you are dragging. So if you try to start a new word immediately it doesn't see it. -It is fairly poor at processing diagonals and direction changes so you have to slow down if you are trying to drag a zigzag word.Its dictionary is rather peculiar including lots of words from languages other than English, not including words that have passed into English like shoyu, and including enormous numbers of medical and chemical terms but not computer engineering terms.Worth playing if you like words and have multiple small time slots to fill.

Great word search game

LOVE this game! I’ve been playing it for 3+ years. However, why are certain words omitted? Example: America isn’t on the list, but Japan and Peru are? And please add mastodon.

Love it!!

It's the one game that I never get bored with!!! I play it every night once the kids are finally asleep. Thank you for updating it!

An excellent Boggle style game

This is a great little game with plenty of features. The graphics look great and you can choose multiple options such as the size of the grid (up to 10x10) and the number of minutes to play, including unlimited time. Selecting the letters is easy and game play is simple. I am always playing this when I have a few minutes to spare. You can also resume a game where you left off in case you have to cut things short. At $0.99 you can't go wrong.

Love Love love this game!!👍👍💘💘😍😍

I became instantly addicted to this game the first time I played it!!! I have been playing it constantly. It is more than worth the price. It recognizes all valid words also, something that is not the case with some word games. I can literally play this for hours without getting tired of it. Really really wonderful word game( I have deleted many others). I love word games and download and try many many of them. I have only a handful I have kept. This is one of them.

This game is sooo fun! I love that you can choose how long you wish to play. The letters are in an easy-to-read format and the game is "addictive"--in a good way...love it!

Good but Flawed

I enjoy this game and it would be 5 stars except for some annoying things.First, the sound keeps disappearing at random times. The only solution I can find is to delete app from phone, then download from cloud again. Then the sound returns. But then goes away again in another day or two.Second, the swiping of letters can sometimes be VERY annoying as they don't respond properly or quickly. Slows you down as you're playing.Third, their dictionary of words is highly suspect. Some real words are not there at all. But the game recognizes other words that definitely are not words at all. Especially some that are all consonants. It seems to sometimes use proper names, abbreviations, and odd slang expressions, etc. For example, how can things like "cgb" or "trw" or "xtc" or "nps" be words? I've seen dozens of so-called words like this in this game.The game is still fun and challenging overall, but these 3 issues really hurt its rating.

An Obsession: Five Big Stars

Can't stop playing this. There are several levels of difficulty that you can set for yourself by combination of board size and time constraint. Nice options for changing the overall theme if you disprefer the red (as displayed). If you like words games, do yourself a favor and drop the 99 cents in this little app. I've not the slightest complaint. Extremely well done. Kudos to the developer...hope there's more to come.
