What real reviews say
★★★★★ Just like WORDSMITH on the TiVo I loved Wordsmith on my old TiVo and was looking for a game just like it. This is it! Thank you!
★★★★ Good game, but too bad it sometimes loses high scores I love this game, and it's a great implementation, but sometimes I find that a particular day's high scores just vanish. I really hope that bug can be fixed.
★★★★★ Thanks for Updating!! So very glad to see that this app was updated to work with iOS 8 and the new iPhones. It’s a favorite among my family and friends. Not to mention there isn’t as single other app in the App Store that looks anything like Wordtouch. It’s one of a kind! Thanks again.
