This month we created our plan for updating WordPop for the iPhone features for the next few months. We started with a minor release on Friday. Although the changes were minor they are very important to our long term commitment to making the best word game.

  1. Added “Suggest a Word” – We’ve been wanting this ability from a while now. Even though we have an 80,000 plus word list there is room for growth, especially in industry specific words, such a medical or accounting. The Suggest a Word selecting in the main menu, provides a quick and convenient method for sending us words to consider.
  2. Added user suggested words – We are dedicated to improving the word list on a regular basis. Announcing this in this recent build was our way to let everyone know, that we appreciate your suggestions and hope they keep coming.
  3. Updated “How to Play” – For new players and for those who want to learn more about the game we added more detail to the help file and graphics. The graphics are especially helpful as they explain visually the directions.

Below is the card created by our artist Jim who converted our iPhone game title page. We know that post cards do not heal but reading them and reflecting does help make the time go by quicker. We wish Steve a speedy recover.

Sammy from Palm Addicts recently wrote “WordPop works great on my Treo Pro using Styletap”

WordPop works fine on my Treo Pro using Styletap. It is one of my favourite games. “WordPop! is easy to learn and thoroughly entertaining. Clear the board by creating words! As you pop each word from the board, there are fewer and fewer letters left. Plan ahead to win the round. Try to get the highest score possible.”

Nothing makes my day like getting a great review. Neal Martin at TreoCentral had some very nice things to say about WordPop. Such as, “I’ll be honest, I love this game! WordPop! isn’t a new game so to speak.. in fact, it’s been around for several years – what you might call a ‘classic’ in a video games sense. But, the replay value of the game makes it a keeper and a game I’m sure you’ll grow to love and play for years to come!” Check out the entire review here.
