Gadgetell Review: SnapWords for the iPhone and iPod touch

Gadgetell Review: SnapWords for the iPhone and iPod touch

What is it?

SnapWords is a game by Magnetism Studios that is meant to be played by lots of people.  It’s kind of like Taboo or Password.  Get a word on the game and try to get someone on your team to guess the word.  When your turn is over, hand your iPhone or iPod touch to the other team for their turn. 

The Good:

At $0.99, this is a bargain.  An official Taboo board game from Hasbro can run you $20.  SnapWords has a library of 10,000 words, timer, and score keeper all in one application.  A simple, but cool, feature is the ability to edit your score if you accidentally pressed the wrong button while playing. 

The Bad:

This is not a game you should play on the bus or a train unless you’re a big fan of annoying everyone around you.  There is no support for custom word packs, but this feature may be available in future editions of the game according to the guys at Magnetism Studios

The Crux:

If you’re a fan of party games, this is a fun little application.  I know it could be pretty useful while waiting for a table at a restaurant.  The lack of board game clutter is another plus - no parts to lose.
