Wordcloud by Wordsalad Reviews

by Kid Who Has Homework To Do

It didn’t let me put in my words and I need it for a project due tomorrow, it is utterly useless

by Adopt2

It may be free to d/l but that’s it. If you try to enter your own words or do anything at all, the payment screen pops up.

Wordcloud claims to be free but in order to actually add your own words you need to pay for the $5 upgrade. Not worth it.

by Tomanny$$$

I only wanted to make a wordless and apparently you can’t, it’s not free and to make your own you have to pay for it. No offense it’s not that cool of an app why the heck isn’t it free

by Logan Hoffbeck

It’s is a pay to do anything so have apple ban Wordcloud because it doesn’t work

by Bigfandmb

I’d give this zero stars if I could. You can’t even enter your own text unless you pay $6 for the basic edition.

by Mrs.Dean Winchester

Yes Wordcloud if free to download but you can’t do anything with it until you pay for it.

by Person7M

Wordcloud did not indicate that you can’t use it without paying for it. Once I entered my words then it wouldn’t do anything unless I paid a fee for even the most basic use.

by CarFam99

Bah! Calling it “free” is a stretch... Hardly any options available. Waste of time.

by NickC#4

Not a good app. Spent the money but I didn’t get the access that it said I would. Says it’s free but once you get into Wordcloud you have to spend money to do anything.

by Bad Genes

If it were possible to give Wordcloud NO stars, that is what I would rate! You have ONE template and it duplicates your words. I wanted to use my words ONE TIME ONLY and it just repeats the words within the art :(

by Betrue05

You can’t even attempt to use your own words without being told to pay to use the basic edition. Wordcloud is not free and yes it’s says inapp purchases which I figured would be to upgrade but you can’t even use it

by Betctru

Apparently to do anything with Wordcloud, one must pay $6.99. As is, Wordcloud appears to be just an adversities platform. If I'm wrong, tell me how to add my own words. I thought there would be at least a basic ability to add a few words--ten? With a single palette. But not as far as I can tell.

Doesn’t let you use your own words unless you upgrade. Lame.

Wordcloud MUST be good, but it’s hiding something. The whole app. Yes. So I have to PAY??! Why?

by Punkymarie

I wanted to like Wordcloud as it makes a nice word cloud. That said, you have to pay for each of those nice feature. Twenty dollars for the ability to use your own fonts is waaaay too much to pay. I think I will have to pass on this one.

by NO12U

There is no option for different shapes like a square, heart, etc.

You really can ill show you how.
1.) go to your notes app
2.)type all the words you want (the more times you type in the same word, the bigger it becomes)
3.) highlight all the words
4.) copy
5.) go to Wordcloud
6.) press "new"
7.) choose "select from clipboard" (its something like that, I'm not sure what it is exactly, its something "clipboard") and your words should show up.
It's a cool app but my only complaints are:
1.) the water mark is terrible and practically ruins the whole thing
2.) you can't put multiple words for one. Like if you wanted to put your favorite artist like boys like girls (just an example) the only way to keep the together is by putting no spaces.
Example: boyslikegirls
And that looks very weird.
If you fixed those two things Wordcloud would be great. Thanks!

This newer version of Wordsalad is not as easy to use as my previous version. It takes more steps to get the same word art.

I use for me website. When my wife saw it, she downloaded and upgraded to use for her Bible class emails.

Where to start?
▪You can't enter text. That's correct. In a word-based app, you can't input, change, or delete text! You can import a fixed block of text in from clipboard. But that's it!
▪If that doesn't deter you sufficiently perhaps the very blah color palettes will
▪What next? The watermark is horrible. Obviously the developer doesn't know the definition of watermark and doesn't know how to create one that provides the right mix of subtlety and reasonable deterrent to people fully using Wordcloud without having paid for it. But it's so dark and dense that it detracts from the text to the point that you can't even decide if you like it enough to pay for the unlocked version.
▪There are in-app ads AND that horrible watermark. Buying Wordcloud will apparently remove both but that really is a belt-and-suspenders approach to making sure the user experience is especially bad. If Wordcloud were better then maybe people would spend time using it and the developer would get some income from the ads and understand that the watermark is an unnecessary impediment -- even in a free version.
▪A good app of this type should let you have angled text as well. This one, not surprisingly, does not.
▪You can't make changes to specific words such as altering their color, for example.
I could go on but I won't bother. I have an app to go delete…

I followed the instructions I found on the site to separate with a tilde and it worked once, then never again.
Wordcloud needs a better tutorial/help for tips and tricks also I'd like to be able to see the last 3-5 salads or at least have a save in progress function. More importantly, I'd like to be ale to manipulate words more. If I just had a listing of keywords, I'd like to choose one or more to be more prominent without having to repeat the over and over in my clipboard text.
Aside from all this, it's an easy app to create word clouds from a selection of text - it's just annoying to create from a list of words.

Compliments. WordSalad is an interesting and promissing app. But it is wanting.

If I would buy the upgrade it is not easy to find instructions as how to do it. You can not find what you get with the upgrade. Do you get more color palletes? Do you get a larger variety of fonts? Do you get more versality in changing the word cloud form? Do you get to reorder words? Do you get to highlight or increase the size of important words? So many questions. It would be really nice to know what exactly do you get with the upgrade. Or is it just adds off, and word salad stamp off?

By the way the guys behind these apps assume you have a facebook account! Well I do not have one. So I do not get a plus set of color palletes?

It sort of crashes now and them. No real problem, but it would be better if it did not crash ever.

I like Wordcloud. It's super easy to use. You just need to type in your words (I used the Notes app that came with iPad) and then select them all and copy. That places the words on a clipboard. In Wordcloud , you click on "New" and then "From Clipboard" and a word cloud is automatically created for you. You can change the colors and formats and then save it to your camera roll. Love it!

by Opayba

You can use your own words. Read the directions.
I dont know if its just me, but the only problem i have with Wordcloud is that i cant figure out how to change the settings so tht every word shows up in the salad. Is it the "stop words" button? i feel like it is but for some reason it's not working. Help please 😁

by Brdmom4

I agree, for less than a dollar, this is not a bad app. but I do agree that I cannot figure out how to make all words show. I have tried the function stop words, but it is not solving it. It seems like it's supposed to be an easy solution, but I am not getting it. I have two letters (initials with no periods) I want in, but it keeps removing them. I would just like to see that fixed or updated.
