We used this for Pictionary and made it through a whole game with 4 people and no repeat words, and no technical issues. Absolutely worth $1 for the word pack, so we purchased it for next time. One suggestion for improvement would be a start screen/button so opening the app doesn’t immediately give you a word, causing the phone’s owner to see it when they’re not the current player.
I purchased a dry erase board and only needed the words, this app is perfect for that! The free version doesn’t have a ton of words, but the word pack is only .99cents for a lot more words, I think the developer deserves the .99cents so I will purchase once I get my iPad. Everyone had a great night drawing the words, the only thing I wish it had was a score keeper of some sort but that’s not a big deal.
Just need an app that provided the words and a timer for the words so we can play Pictionary. I found this to work perfectly. Only bad thing was eventually you run out of words and other then “Christmas” topic there was no option to buy any more words.
I’m using this app for probably a not very common reason, It looks like most people are using this for games. I use this to generate a random word to say and come back to everyday. So if I ever don’t know what to say in a situation I’ll go back to that word. It’s really fun and brings humor and conversation starters abroad. Also works good when your with a group and want something to talk about.
Timer, reset, difficulty levels….check. Repeating words after 10 words…check. Almost 200K English words and it repeats after 10. Put in a simple logic check to not repeat a word if it has been used in past 300 words and store it as data on device. Done…then it’s perfect.
Please make this more song friendly like the word association Elle magazine is doing with celebrities. They see a word and have to think of lyrics from a song that has the word in 10 seconds!
We use this app at a New Year's party when we wanted to play Pictionary. All we needed was a way to generate a word, and this app was perfect. It was very simple and with three levels of difficulty, easy, medium and hard, this was ideal. It might be nice to have a timer and scorekeeping feature but it definitely doesn't need it, those might just be nice-to-have features for a future version.
This app nicely replaces the heavy box of cards and the timer used by the physical game Pictionary. You still need paper and pencil, but that's all. Very nice to save weight for travel applications. There are 3 choices for words (easy, medium, and hard) and the timer can be set for whatever you want.
I wanted a list of words that could be drawn. Started off strong with Jar, soap, knot, and softball. But then words like Honk, washing, quicksand and lung came up. How do you draw honk or washing without drawing a scene with someone doing something? Simplify please. Maybe nouns not verbs. EDIT: went through the whole app in a matter of minutes and I drew everything that wasn't "small" or "blind" or "lung". And everything started repeating. Should pull from a lot larger database of words that can be drawn. You can't draw small without drawing two different objects... App deleted.
All this app does is give you words... thats it, no actuall gameplay just words so you can make your own game, set your own timer, and pretty much make your own app. I guess if i were looking for an app specifically like this then i guess it would be goo but theres one problem... the app has like 10 words so i dont know why you made this app and im just super glad u didnt make people pay for it.
You run out of words so quickly that it's not even worth downloading. The app has one job and doesn't even do it for longer than a round or two. Whomever made this app needs to expand the word options.
Wordraw is the best Pictionary word generator on the planet. Use it for Pictionary, Charades, Catch Phrase and other word guessing games! Also use Wordraw for brainstorming words, improv ideas, writing inspiration and learning exercises. Did we mention it includes a built-in timer? Well it does! What more can you ask for? This app replaces the box of Pictionary cards and puts everything in an easy to use interface. Wordraw provides a great list of random words organized based on difficulty level. All you need is a whiteboard or something else to draw on and a fun group of friends! To play Wordraw, make two teams with your group of friends. A person on each team must draw, act out or provide clues for the word without saying it. If their team guesses the word before the timer runs out, the team gets a point. Switch teams and keep repeating this until all players have gone up. In the end the team with the most points wins!
