Pros and cons of Word Detective app for iPhone and iPad

Word Detective app good for

There are so many categories and puzzles; well worth $2. I find myself playing it every time I have a minute to spare.

I like all the topics. Some are a surprise and fun to try to figure out.

Ive tried all the other ones and none compare. This one looks great and works great. Some of the topics are harder than others, so its nice to try them out and pick the ones that equal the challenge you are looking for. My favorite ... by far!

I love word searches!! This app is super smooth & fun. However, it needs to be harder. Most puzzles have all the words going the same direction and there arent enough overlaps and diagonals. Good game overall though. Worth the $$.

I am addicted to word games and Word Detective has been a blast!

I really enjoy this game. Difficult enough to be interesting but not so hard as to be discouraging. Also nice to be able to play a little at a time waiting for a pickup order, appointment, etc.

Some bad moments

Sorry I got this app. It was a waste of money. The info on it was misleading.

I agree with comment #5. Misleading info on it. Wish I hadnt loaded it.

I love the game WHEN it works! It blanks out a lot when choosing a puzzle or hitting resume! Help!

They give you the words instead of clues so all you do is find the given words. Boring.

Its mindless fun, but I dont get what the endgame is. You find the same words in different puzzles for meaningless trophies. Thought thered be something after getting the gold trophy, but it led to another board to search for the same words.

Of time. However, its really bugging me that academic is spelled wrong. Twice, so far. Misspelling in a word game? Seriously?
