Word Search Pro‧

I didn’t really know what the game was when I downloaded it to my phone. Finally after months of it being on here I decided to give it a try. I really thought it was a more of a traditional “word search” in which the words themselves are already listed and then you find and circle the words as they’re found. This game starts you off at the lowest/first level (I think anyways, it didn’t seem to allow me to just choose anything, there are little lock symbols next to every level except for the first one). Anyways, it differs from a traditional word find in that it gives you clues to let you know what kind of words you should be looking for. It gives you points for each word found, does not let you move on to the next set of words without finishing the words you’re currently searching for, and from what I can tell you can call on other players in the game to help you out if you really can’t find your words. I’m still very early in the game, so some of this info may be incorrect (Sorry if so 😬), I am providing a review because the game brought up a prompt asking if I would do one.. hope this helps someone! 😊😅

Very enjoyable way to pass the time. However, the ads that pop up between games are extremely annoying. I wouldn’t even mind paying a little bit to get rid of them (although it would be irritating), but I don’t see any way to do that. Also, sometimes when you finish a game, a blank white screen appears, and there’s no way to get rid of it except to exit the game and start again. That happened to me today, and even when I tried to start the game again, the white screen was still there. Update: I just went in to play the game, and all I get is the blank white screen. Very frustrating. I am probably going to delete this app even though I really like it, and look for a word search that works all the time. Or maybe I’ll just read a book. Update: The game froze, and all I could get was a blank, white screen. I wound up deleting it and downloading it again. So far, so good. It’s very enjoyable, and I spend far too much time playing it. This time I paid to get rid of the ads. Big improvement.

I really did enjoy the old version of this app when it was an actual word search game. The new update makes it so you have to guess what words you're looking for. I downloaded this app to have a word search app. I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed it had daily challenges. I completed quite a few of these but then just a few days ago, they updated the app to the current format. In my opinion, this new format is absolutely terrible. Prior to this, the only complaint I had against the app was that as a color blind person, it was sometimes hard to see the highlighted words when they blended in with the background so much, but they went ahead and ruined the game with the new update. ***UPDATE*** I have to give this app a new rating, because they actually responded to what people were asking for while at the same time keeping the changes that some other people already enjoyed. I want to congratulate the app developer for their great attention to customer service. Thank you once again!

I really like this version of word search. It’s not anything fancy with lots of sounds or graphics. It’s the perfect gaming app to help pass the time while attending to life’s boring moments (e.g. doctor’s waiting rooms, airport layovers, bar mitzvahs, waiting at the DMV, hanging out after awkward holiday meals while everyone scatters either to watch some sporting event, take a nap, or to make small talk with weird relatives, etc). What I don’t love is the constant mislabeling or misidentifying words into categories they don’t belong in. Just now, I played a level entitled Classic Board Games (Level 1254) and I couldn’t figure out the last word for awhile...and it was only a three letter word! Turns out, it was Uno. I ended up finding it but it just irritates me because Uno isn’t a board game, it’s a card game. I know it might not seem like that big of a deal, but to me it is. Especially when I’ve been playing your app forever. I will continue to play your app. I just ask that you step up the quality control/editing. Thank you 😊

So I love this game, I think it’s super fun, and it’s really great for procrastinating my dissertation. I play it every day and it takes up hours of my time. Which is great, I’m loving it. But twice now the game has majorly crashed on me. I click to open it and the screen shows up for about two seconds then goes back to my phone background. I click out to see the apps I have running and it shows up as working, but then doesn’t run when I click on it, shutting off back to my home screen again. The first time I had to delete it to get it to work again, which erased all the data. And it’s been fine for the past two weeks or so but it’s acting up again and I can’t play it anymore. I don’t know if it’s an issue with phone system compatibility or with the app, but it’s really getting my goat. I’d really like to not restart the game and challenges all over (for the second time). So all-in-all it’s a great game, but it’s buggy as heck in my opinion.
