Pros and cons of UPWORDS® app for iPhone and iPad

UPWORDS® app good for

Hours of fun with friends. It is worth it to purchase the added feature as it helps you vet possible words faster.
Love the game. Dictionary can be improved. Doesnt recognize some common words
This is a great app. The only question I have is...what dictionary is used to determinine word validity. I am amazed at which words are not accepted...words which are in common dictionaries.
I would like this more if it followed the same dictionary as Scrabble. There are some pretty weird words in this game.
So glad to have it on my phone now. Hard to go back to straight Scrabble type games after this!
Sometimes covers over level numbers Play and submit are redundant and irritating. Use one or the other Need easy access to rules

Some bad moments

Great game but the dictionary is puritanical. Stupid to not allow commonly used words. Also, limiting trade-ins to one letter is worthless.
Plays just like the home game we have played for years. Had been looking for this for a few years. Thanks for the great game. Nice job of shadow on letters to show height. I wish that you could edit the allowed words list.
Fun Scrabble-like game. Recent update fixed one of my dislikes which was forcing you to play in portrait mode but that is no longer the case. Just wish the rules would allow for swapping more than 1 tile at a time.
Love this word game. Sometimes it resigns me before Ive had time to get back to the game. But I still enjoy it.
Best game out there! Particularly because there are no cheats out there (I think!)
I can understand excluding "offensive" words, but too many real, non offensive words are excluded...dumbed down from the board version. Use a bigger dictionary!
