User Reviews

Up Spell is praised for its simple, clean design, catchy music, addictive fast-paced word gameplay, and a solid lexicon, offered as a one-time purchase. Repeated drawbacks include landscape-only play, dictionary gaps, poor iPad layout, lack of leaderboards/scores tracking, and unreliable social features (duel/sharing). Addressing portrait mode, dictionary completeness, better iPad support, and persistent score/social features could significantly improve the experience.

Pros

Simple, clean design with a pleasant soundtrack.
Addictive and quick word gameplay, great for short breaks.
Strong lexicon and varied word list that keeps the game fresh.
One-time purchase with no ads or ongoing in-app purchases.

Cons

Landscape-only (no portrait mode) gameplay limits comfortable one-handed play.
Dictionary gaps: some valid words aren’t recognized (missing words).
Poor iPad support: layout scales poorly and can appear off-screen on larger iPads.
No built-in leaderboard or Game Center integration; no easy way to track or compare scores.
Multiplayer features (duel) and score sharing can be buggy or unreliable.

Recent reviews

Perfect for a quick escape during the day. Simple, clean design and delightful music. Continues to be one of my favorite games that I come back to.

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL GAME! SIMPLISTIC, FUN Sadly no options to: • Increase character amount • Increase Time • Missing some words. Example: “Grok” is a word (game does not recognize it) (These are not my reasons for 3 star ⭐️) DEVELOPMENT OVERSIGHT: (My reason for 3 star instead of 5) Unfortunately, I have no idea why the developer… ignored logic in their mind and DID NOT consider: 500 million iPads apple mentioned, sold world wide… your game WILL be played on an iPad. Therefore, why not make sure the game shows up correctly on iPad screen? I have a 12’9 inch iPad Pro, in landscape mode, launching this game, you press the 2x button for the game to blow up and cover the entire screen (fair enough)… here’s where the developer did not do, their due diligence: The game appears at the bottom left edge of the screen, dangerously close, to bleeding out the edge of the screen. (making it uncomfortable to play) I do some some development myself, there is a iOS screen simulator which you can run in xcode, showing approximation of how game will appear on the various iOS screens. Developer was obviously focused on iphone only. Sadly, singular thinking like this, diminishes the perception of the passion, involved in this project. Especially, in this current age, when the development tools are available for the dev, to assist them, and make sure, game is running at it’s best viewing angles, for all iOS device screens.
