Four Letters

Very fun—a great premise and fun, endless time to improve one’s skills. However it is a little more difficult to select the letters for each word in this app than it is in other apps with the same premise. In other apps, I drag my finger to draw a line formation to “connect the dots” between each chronological letter to spell a word. If I want to start over spelling the word, I simply lift my fingers. It’s easier than picking one letter a time is, so that’s what I do, and it’s also what I’m used to. But when I make a mistake in spelling, I pause because I have to either tap each individual letter I’ve already spelled to erase it or I have to finish spelling a four letter attempt that I know won’t be correct, simply so I can more quickly start over, before time runs out.

I have the most current version of 'Four' (and my Apple X Is current also) and when I open this app it seems like it'll load but after a few seconds, it makes an audible crackle noise and then appears to close completely but it runs in the background. When attempting to re access it happens again as above.

I love this game as an "easy" time killer. The concept is great and it's a lot of fun to play on the phone. The problem is that the response time on the watch is horrible. If you go slow to ensure your letters are selected correctly, you hit a letter - wait and nothing happens. Try again. No response. Try a third time, your letter is selected and boom - your time is up. If you go fast and just hit all the letters in order, sometimes it works and all the letters pop up all of a sudden after a couple of seconds and sometimes they don't. Sometimes, the timer doesn't even start by the time I've entered a word. The responsiveness is fine on the phone, but horrible on the app. I go fom a high score of 43 on the phone to a high of 20 on the watch. Needs some work in this area.
