Pros and cons of Knoword app for iPhone and iPad

Knoword app good for

Heard about it online, then came to iPhone, I bought it and its very pleasant. I can see this expanding my word bank in the future. Very practical.
You do have to be quick. My brains getting a workout. Thanks Trevor!
I have been using this app everyday since its release. Great job. Cant wait to see whats to come with it
I love this ap, works fine. A great way to increase your vocabulary and quick thinking. Make this app suitable for IPAD.......... Please ASAP
Such an awesome concept!! I ALWAYS get bored of game apps but this has stuck with me for over a year now! Ive had it for a while and I STILL play it often to give my brain a work out.

Some bad moments

I love this app, but the words repeat WAY TOO MUCH! Also, there should be a pause option so your game doesnt have to be ruined because of an interruption. It would be great to be able to play for shorter periods throughout the day instead of only when you have a big chunk of time to spend all at once.
This new version is incredibly frustrating. All the definitions are cut off, forcing me to scroll through in order to read its entirety. Also, I am now unable to play without a network of some kind, which saddens me since this game was my go-to on the underground without service. I will unfortunately be deleting the game since it gives me more grief than enjoyment... It was perfect too...
Do you get enjoyment out of finding new words and/or challenging your vocabulary? Then this game is for you! A dictionary definition is given as well as the first letter and the goal is to guess the word. Each session lasts 1 minute and points are gained by guessing right. The game is very fun but also has its flaws(for now). No landscape mode means youre stuck with the small keyboard and knowing what difficulty suits you will take a few tries. You can make an account to earn achievements and top the leaderboards but no gamecenter and no autologin makes it more trouble than its worth. Whether youre looking to guess words like mist and gelatin, or lethargic and kowtow, you can kill a few minutes easily while learning at the same time.
Cant wait for it to remember your login/password and Facebook integration.
This game is fun and addicting. I like it as much as playing Words With Friends. If youre not sure you want to buy this game, play it online for free.
Its fun, but needs some patches Sometimes the words repeat themselves frequently. You have to login everytime u get in the app.. Annoying. U cant type the words with the horizontal keyboard which makes it slow to type fast words.
