iPad games- anything new and fun?

gidgetgh — Tue, 22 Dec 2015 23:40:26 GMT

I'm bored-LOL, and looking for some new games to play. I already play Words with Friends and Trivia Crack. Anyone have suggestions for some games that are favorites of yours?

If you have not already done so, check out Apple's App Store.

I like Word Spot. I can watch television while I play. There are letters on a chart and you use the letters to form words. It's free unless you want to buy clue letters, which I never do.

Thanks. I'm very familiar with the App Store. I was just looking for some personal recommendations.

@gidgetgh

I have been playing Jumbeline2 on my iPad for the last year. While in FL, one of our guests was intently thumbing his cell phone--- he introduced me to J. and I have played several hundred rounds.

You our can chose 5, 6, or 7- letter final words as you rearrange letters from 3-letter at top to the largest word(s) at the bottom.

The one infuriating thing for me is that they haven't updated their word "dictionary" or stock yet this year. You can submit words for them to include....but despite all my submissions, no effect yet.

It is enjoyable...and you can learn along the way with the master dictionary for words they use. Some are not in every day modern language IMO.

I love Fallout Shelter, lol. Probably not what you are looking for though.

I don't have an Ipad, but I have a Kindle. You would love Wordfeud if you love WWF. You can play with your friends just like WWF, but they have a random board. You can have a triple, triple, triple squares right in a row. You have to keep your opponents away from that mess! Really fun.

I searched and saw that Wordfeud is available for apple products. Try it! Probably 3 years ago when I got my Kindle I started playing with random players that I didn't know. I am still playing with 4 of the random players! I feel like I know them personally. I don't play with people I know personally on wordfeud. I don't have it linked to Facebook. I do play with real freinds on WWF through FB but I also play with someone I met here (QVC boards). I have played with her for quite a while now and she is really good!

Try Wordfeud. Play long enough to get players close to your level. It is more fun that way.

I am so hooked on Bingo Bash. Nothing mind expanding just fun games and many challenges. Also I play tri peaks solitaire and and I do the daily puzzle of Red Herring.

i used to pay to play on pogo but these are all free or you can buy extra chips or packs for Red Herring. I like free!!!!!

Go to "Spooky House Studios" and get "Bubble Explode."

It starts easy and later gets harder....it starts to add more things to do...such as lighting bolts blasting away balls, and balls that explode, and dropping balls that remove rows of bubbles......other things too.

You have to explode the lines of balls before all the balls drop down to the bottom of the screen.

I play that most of the time over all over games.

It was free.

I like also "Rail Maze." Object is going down the rail road track to the train station. You have to move the tracks before the train leaves the station. You hope a on coming train does not hit you. Or you moved the tracks wrong and the train goes off the tracks. It starts easy....and goes hard. You keep trying over and over to get that darn train down the track, and into the train station.

It was free.

I used to love Angry Birds and was playing several different versions of it. I got kind of tired of it, but maybe I should play it again. Thanks for mentioning it.

I ADORE Monument Valley....and Prune is on my list to get.

These 2 apps/games are zen-like, strategic, quiet-type of challenges.

If you like chess, you'll like these two apps.

The graphics w/ Monument Valley are stunningly beautiful.

Both games are Top Editors picks in the App Store.

The cost...$3/$4, but worth it.

I got Prune last week and lasted all of 15 minutes and deleted it.

I highly recommend the app called "AppsGoneFree" by AppAdvice. (link: http://appadvice.com/apps-gone-free)

It's a wonderful way to try highly-rated apps and catch them when they're offered free for a limited time. Many of them are for kids or for special interests, but I've found some great things I wouldn't otherwise have known about.

Right now I'm hooked on crosswords (I like the one by Stand Alone, Inc. -- they have a free "lite" offering, and also a paid version) and jigsaw puzzles (I like "Jigsaw Box" by Sparkle Apps), and I like "TanZen" and "DuBlox."

(links to the apps:

HTH, and thanks for all the recommendations!
