Pretty Good
Luna Rius
Out of the gate it's a decently solid app. It's lack of ability to return to a game in progress and its spotty dictionary ("yang" is acceptable, but not "zen"? In addition, some proper nouns are allowed while others aren't.) are presently holding it back from being better than four stars. It's off to a very, very good start, however.
Please add a high score list
Retro B!
I'll give it five stars at that point. Otherwise great word game!
Shuts down podcast or radio

Unable to multitask while using it. When i listen to Tunein radio or a podcast and I start Wordly, all audio shuts down
Nice, but two flaws for iPad
inkmuser
Cannot give this five stars for two reasons: 1) no landscape mode - nearly all my apps are in landscape and it's a bother to have switch the iPad in the stand for this app, and 2) uses extremely obscure words (to the point where I, who have a very large vocabulary, look them up because I think they're non-English words. App could use some trimming of these. But otherwise, it is addictive and my scores are increasing, albeit without catching these bizarro words.
Addictive, but…

If I could, I'd give 3-1/2 stars. As much fun as this game is, it's also a bit frustrating. Words you think you'd get points for are not in the "checklist", and MANY other - possibly foreign words or slang versions or phonetic spellings? - are everywhere to be found! This could be cleaned up significantly. And although per the screen my scores may not be impressive, I choose to ignore that and marvel at how many words I actually found on my own. In English!
Words Missing
Stellyin
Some words which are legitimate and spelled correctly are seemingly not valid when finding them in the puzzle, but others which may be even more obscure do show up and are recognized. The game could be more complete with regards to these missing words. Otherwise, this is a great game! Really fun, great interface, no annoying bells and whistles, and the option to set your own time limit or relax without one (much appreciated!). Overall, a great word search game! Just needs minimal fine-tuning.

Good game. Only negative, if u have to take a break from playing, it doesn't save ur game.
Great App
TLEvans
Great as is, but 3 things could make it an ultimate app... 1. Add other language dictionaries (German) and it would be a nice learning tool, for which I would pay. 2. Smaller game face showing more words, and sort the found words. I do not complete many puzzles as I get tired trying to find what I already discovered. 3. Improve battery use, as this app seems to run the battery down.
The GOOD Wordly.

I downloaded that mess of a game by the same name only to find that it required my email just to begin... and if there was a single player version ("play the greats"?), I never saw it, since I would be forced into beating other players to unlock it (& it utilized a dreaded energy system!). It was *promptly* deleted. Then I found THIS... (thanks AppsGoneFree!). THIS is what I wanted!! Refreshingly clean, simple layout, & hand written answers that appear on crisp note paper as you find words (complete w/ satisfying scratchy writing sound FX!). You can toggle the amount of time that you have for each board, and after each game you see all possible answers written (yours highlighted), as well as a score + % correct. That's it. And in my opinion, that... is wonderful. No IAPs, no bells & whistles, no forced multiplayer w/ coins & an energy system. Ah... Nice, right? If I had any complaint, it would be that it has no integrated dictionary to look up the words you missed (which seems to include abbrevs & prefixes, just so you know!). Also, as some other reviewers have said, a record of past top scores would be appreciated. Nonetheless, Boggle enthusiasts will find this satiates their hunger. :) My sincere gratitude to the dev(s) for this one. Thank you, so much!
