Zarf App Reviews

Best: The Scrabble clock. Havent seen anything alike in other apps. Missing: Other dictionaries or a import function (e.g. for German)

Definitely a 5-star app. Love the hooks in the info panel and the probability ordering for search results. The only thing missing is a drop-down feature in the input field so you can recall past searches without having to retype them.

Nicely done! Best Ive found by a mile.

Nice app. Would get five stars if CSW words not acceptable in TWL were marked with the usual # suffix to avoid having to keep switching lexica.

Terrific program. Id pay for it (assuming of course that its updated for CSW12).

Its a very nice app. As mentioned by others, it could benefit from symbols to differentiate words in the CSW lexicon. One thing I would especially like to see added is to the clock. It lacks in actually being able to use the clock itself. Its not preferable to have to read your opponents time upside down, and chess clock apps out there solve that by having a smaller version of the opponents timer count down on your side, making it much easier to check how much time you and your opponent have. This would be the number one feature I would like to see added.

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much

App is still using the older Scrabble dictionaries. Needs to be updated to accept the new words added recently.

Unlike other word finders, results appear as you type. The dictionaries need to be updated.

This is a really good app for Scrabble tournament players, but needs to be updated to work better with iOS 10.

A mind-blowing app. BTW.Is there a chance to add a custom pattern of a definition link for a dictionary? I.e. in Polish where theres a lot of suffix forms, referring to Wiktionary is quite pointless. In most cases, www.sjp.pl/WORD does the job. Thanks in advance.

...but the current version occasionally crashes on iOS 10. But the developer probably knows this already. :)

Does everything you would ever need to play scrabble and your stumped trying to come up with a word with the letters your stuck with, great work

Excellent. Really useful app for Scrabble fans!

Really everything you need to play a tournament scrabble game, plus searching tools ala LexPert.

Zarf is the complete package for scrabble enthusiasts everywhere. It is fast, complete, and easy to use after a short learning period. Just what I was looking for!

This works very well for anagrams, word building, and judging, but I have yet to figure out how the pattern mode works. There is no help available in the app, at least that I can find, and the "Zarf Support" link from this entry takes you to a page that links back to iTunes. No help there. I would give this 5 stars if I could figure out all the functions.

Just what I was looking for. If it had a scorekeeping function, itd be perfect.

The addition of the OSPD word list gives this app wide applicability. The new info screen is also a great addition. I have always wondered if this app. could do wildcards and the info screen finally cleared up how to do just that. The only two things missing are a scoring model for scrabble and words with friends, and a way to lock a character to the front or back of a word. Very good word finding program. Thanks for such a well written program.

Exactly what you need for some serious Scrabble playing. If it would tell the point score of the suggested word, it would be fantastic! But still a good app 
