A++ Great Program Highly Recommended

I was looking for a program to write word searches and decided to check the app store and was surprised to find this program. It didn’t have many reviews, but what was there was positive and it was not expensive, so I took a chance. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

The program is very easy to use. You just enter the words that you want and it creates a word search with a list of words, and it also creates a solution. You can export that in PDF format or as text. You can adjust everything- the size of the grid, whether the words are uppercae or lower, the difficulty of the puzzle, etc. Puzzles can be anywhere from very easy with just horizontal and vertical words to the most difficult puzzles, which would have words going in all directions and diagonals, crossing each other, and having the random letters throughout the grid that are similar to the letters in the search words, making it difficult to find the real search terms.

I had to contact the developer to ask how to do something and he responded promptly, and I had overlooked part of the user guide.

Very easy. Great price. Great service. A++

Perfect

I’ve been looking for a program that would let me create my own word searches for a long time and I am so happy for this one! The app works perfectly and allows for quite a bit of customization (you can even copy the word search puzzle image and the word list separatly into a word processor.)

I love the different diffulty settings which control things such as how many directions the words can go in and whether or not there are randomly generated fake-outs with partial words from your list. The different shapes the puzzles can take give them a fresh, fun look. You can even include a hidden message inside the puzzle which is fun to discover.

This app also has some of the best customer support I’ve ever seen. I had a problem with something and the developer emailed me back personally and quickly with multiple ways I could fix it and now everything is perfect. There is also an extensive user guide. The word searches look professional when printed, like something I would have copied from a book.

I would definietly recommend this app and this developer.

5 Star / 2 Enthusiastic Thumbs Up

I have used 10 programs/apps over the years for wordsearches as a graphic designer and teacher. THIS is by far the BEST, without question. The amount of customization is remarkable. The continued updates add to this impressive program. You will not be disappointed. It is the BEST of the BEST!!! :)

Developer Response ,

It is a long labor of love, however, when you tell me you love it, it is no longer a labor, thank you! Here’s to many more years of professional word search enjoyment!
