This is my favorite game on the computer and it is even more fun on the iPhone! Gameplay is great and flawless. Saves your current level, and everything is very fluid. Love the cool features like the in game definitions of certain words, adds educational value. Would highly recommend this game!!

If your going to buy just one word game then get this. This will not disappoint anyone and worth the $5 purchasing price. This is difinetly one of the best word games to get. This high quality game simply shines through the pile of other word games from the excellent word play and features to the polished look and graphics. Very nicely done and highly recommed this to every one that's looking for a word game the is challenging and its themed so its very fun to play. Get it before it goes up to $100. (my expectations are high).

I love other games in this genre (relatively speaking - word games), like Scrabble, Lexitron and Scramboni, but nothing specifically like Bookworm (word search, if you will) has stayed long on the iPhone because, well, they don't measure up to the original, which is Popcap's Bookworm. Games that tried, came close-ish, but ultimately failed were Wurdle and Wordsworth (lite). I suppose I was spoiled by Lex and the music, but it goes beyond the aesthetics and into nuances of gameplay. You don't select grid size, and this grid is perfect. As you level up, your rank changes, as announced by Lex each time. It has always been a favorite challenge of mine to make it to the "end" though I don't remember when I last did or even tried, but having started at 3am, I'm fairly confident I'm on a mission now. I had hoped this might incorporate elements of Bookworm Adventure, which I can only play on my PC, and which differs from the original Deluxe, which I play on my Macs. (both are available to try free at Popcap). This seems to have elements new to the iPhone, but not those of Adventure, which is fine. As you make certain words, you see new "books" previously titled with question marks get titles. These words are part of hidden categories. So far I think I've gotten Pets and Body Parts and look forward to seeing if I can guess what the others will be. You still get special tiles for larger words, plus bonus words, and all your words and accomplishments are recorded in various books (12 letters etc.). The two modes still exist, with classic being leisurely and timed evilly nerve-wracking with those infamous burning tiles :0) I love that challenge, unique to Bookworm, though either from lack of recent practice or changes to this version, those burning tiles seem to pop up much more quickly than they used to. Since you can have a saved game going in each mode, I've been trading off until I think I am up to the challenge. This plays smoothly, perfectly, and unless something has changed, the dictionary is wonderful (so you don't painstakingly plan for a word only to find you can't play it). I had my students (college) addicted to this and Peggle (what a bad influence I am and what a mistake that was) which says a lot about the game. Try out the mac/of demos. This is what I've been waiting for...now hurry up with ALCHEMY and PEGGLE (we won't be doing much work in class but we will have fun!) BTW, great pricing, better than the trial and error with Bejeweled though I'd pay whatever the cost for Peggle and probably Alchemy. Accept no substitutes and buy this!

Bookworm is a very polished application. Gameplay is perfect for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Buttons are big and easy to click, as well as the letter tiles. Background music is OK as well.

The vocabulary list seems to be lacking a good amount of words - it doesn't seem to have enough recognized words as the online version or the purchased game from PopCaps. Nevertheless... still fun...

The polish and production on this game are top notch. The way the game tracks your words by building up your library makes for endless replayability. This game is so engaging that I went and bought Bookworm Adventures for my PC, and that game, with it's RPG and story elements, is downright addicting as well. PopCap, please bring Bookworm Adventures to the App store too!

Bookworm for iPhone is even better than Bookworm for PC and Mac, and it completely blows away the other iPhone word games. Price is right too. Get this one for sure. Seriously, you'll love it!

And this version delivers. I've been waiting for this game to arrive to the iPhone as I throughly enjoyed the home computer version and even the Game boy model. Trust me or don't, but this is the single game- front page worthy- to purchase.

Great game!! Original on computer is great too! One problem is when a red block gets to the bottom. The game lags for a second then continues. Same with when you destroy it. Great game though! Totally worth the $5!

Awesome game! love it, it makes you think of words :)

I have been waiting for this game since the opening of the App Store. If you love Bookworm, then you already understand why it belongs on the iPhone. Well worth the price.

I loved this game on PC and I feel like this game was always meant for mobile play! Love the graphics and same bookworm fun from the PC! The only thing that I suprisingly miss the most are the little illustration of the title you achieved from gaining that next level... I miss those illustrations!

Really fun! Better than the pc version.

This game is fun!

Bookworm has been one of my favorite games on my computer and on various mobile devices. I am so stoked about it on the iPhone. It plays great. Nothing else measures up.

Read the title

Great game. Hours of fun.

I've loved bookworm for years and am thrilled to have it on my iPhone! My only complaint is that the "shake to scramble" does not always register; I see that others are having the same problem. Fix that (or add a scramble button) and you have a five star app!

The game is definately worth the money but I can't seem to get passed level 12. Still a great game.

Same old addictive gameplay but with a touch of your finger!!

Love it

Im soooo happy they made bookworm mobile! I wouldnt be surprised if they started making more pop cap games like Zuma, Chuzzle, Heavy Weapon, etc.

Bookworm has been my favorite computer game for years. I have been saying for a long time that bookworm should be available on the iPhone. When my told me there was an app. I just HAD to buy it! I must say that it is just as fun as the original! I love the addition if the collection of books. It's so cool and creative! Thanks for making my dream come true! Haha I love this game! :)

This game is AMAZING!!! Its so much fun and it's also very challenging, I'm so addicted. It crashes occasionally but still saves your game. Update? I LOVE it.

The addition of the collection books is a nice touch. I'll be playing this one for quite a while; it's the perfect time-killer.

This is essentially the same game as Fire Words, which has been available in the App Store for the last 9 months (and costs $3 less). I thoroughly enjoy Bookworm on the computer and was anxious to try this iPhone version. Frankly, on this platform, Fire Words is the better game. Its larger letters are easier are easier to navigate and its lifting your finger to register a letter (as opposed to Bookworm requiring an additional tap) makes for faster and more intuitive game play. Also, the timed version of Bookworm, where letter tiles catch fire and you need to use them quickly, seems more hurried than either the computer version of this game or Fire Words.

I loved this game on my Palm. The iPhone version needs some help. First of all, the music is annoying and jejune. I turned the music way, way down on mine. Second, loads of very common words are missing from the dictionary, e.g., "went." C'mon, guys. Third, the game is not all that challenging. I reached the top rank the very first time I tried. Fourth, the score covers the burning tile so you can't tell what it is. Sheesh. Fifth, the value of each letter is not displayed. This was an option in the Palm version. I might have to try 3 or 4 words with one letter variation to find out which is the highest scoring. Cripes. Please, PopCap, at least improve the dictionary.

I love this game on my PC, and was thrilled to see it in the app store but there are a few glitches. The tiles don't always scramble when you shake it and it also doesn't recognize several valid words like "was". Please add a manual button to touch to scramble tiles it would work better, be more reliable and less distracting than shaking. Nothing major that an update wouldn't fix. Then it would be worth 5 . The category bonus books are fun! Overall great game when glitches are fixed.

It's still the same bookworm you know and love. Dove in, still knew it, still loved it. Completely stable.

Back in my PDA days I was quite addicted to Bookworm so I'm thrilled to see it again. The newly-added books feature is fun.

I love this game! However, if you're trying to spell all of the words in the Bonus Book List, the game doesn't recognize when the word "gold" is spelled. I've spelled it ten times and it does not get recognized in the Minerals book.

Couple of bugs to work out though. -Won't always scramble when you shake the iPhone. -Game Music doesn't come back on after you lock the screen. Fix these things then I'll give it 5 stars!!

I've played Bookworm on the desktop before, and found it addicting, but difficult to pick up for a few minutes here and there. The iPhone edition is a faithful conversion of the game for the handheld world, and keeps the game play fun.

Crapped my pants when I saw this game on iTunes! Loved this game on the computer, but now I can take it anywhere!!

This has always been the best word game for pc, but now on the ipod touch/iphone,awsome. now im waiting until someone makes pocket tanks.

Great game, loved it on the computer. Couple of issues: "Gold" is in two bonus books, but you only get credit for one if the second book isnt discovered. Getting the word again does nothing. Very common words like "was" and "been" not recognized.

Very addictive. I love it.

Major time killer, I played until my battery warning came on. Recharged it and played some more. Thanks PopCap! Now how about adding Alchemy?

This is a fun game, but no matter how much I shake my phone, the tiles won't scramble. I tested another app that uses shaking (to see if it was just my phone), but that one worked. This game could be really fantastic if only I didn't get "game over" when the only option left is to scramble. I hope they come out with an update soon.

I very much enjoy this game and prefer this app to earlier online versions: gameplay is very smooth and intuitive. However, like an earlier reviewer, I found that the shake-to-scramble feature does not work consistently - eventually, as the score gets higher, it seems to stop working altogether. This can result in a premature and frustrating end to the game. As many others have observed, the dictionary feels rather arbitrary and has some surprising gaps. This app delivers good value, but if these issues were fixed, it could be outstanding.

Word scramble doesn't work.

Bookworm is a classic. If you can handle a few minor glitches and a suspect dictionary, go for it. If you're a word junkie like me, try WoodSnake and Woffo, too. Can't get enough...

I need to write a review for this game because I am very pleased with it and just have to say how much fun it is. It gets really stressfull when you got one of those fire tiles at the bottom haha but i love the challenge it offers. I also see a lot of complaints about the scrambling that is activated when shaken, I did have trouble as well but you must shake it in a certain manner and eventually you will activate the scramble, it does work. Great word game!

I love this app over others for two reasons; 1. It has more words than the others, 2. It gives definitions of word so I actually learn something.But... Please add a full dictionary! A word game isn't a word game without a full dictionary.

I'd been waiting for this app on the iPhone/Touch since purchasing the unit and my wish came true. I have this game on my laptop and desktop as well. Hours of fun making words as big as you can, making bonus words scores huge as well. This is a must for people who love word games like Scrabble, word finds, etc. A+!

I have a couple dozen games on my iPhone and this is the one I play the most. And it actually improves on the Mac version. I'd highly recommend it.

I use this app everyday. Highly recommended.

I love that game and i spent weeks playing it everynight before i sleep, and what i liked the most was the books that contains words which you have to find. I actually found all the words in all the books but only one word me angry cuz everytime i find it nothing happens (it was the word GOLD).. i tried to find it on my daughters ipod and also nothing happens and it didn't count it as found. this was very frustrating that I stopped playing the game. other than that its a good game.
