WordPack: Word Cloud Generator

I hope the developer will continue to develop this app, as I think it has great potential. It is simple and straight forward, but missing a few key features that would really make it great. For example: 1. When it populates the words, you don’t have any control over the density population of the word cloud (how many words there are total, as all get repeated). It would be great if you there was a density control for this. 2. All of my word clouds have a black background. I don’t see how to change this. In the app description, it shows word clouds with white backgrounds. It would be great to make this more obvious, and also offer a transparent background option. 3. How about custom color palettes? Add all these features and I will change my review to 5 stars.

Used the app to help make a Word Cloud as a little extra pop for a presentation for my aunt. I then made the mistake of deciding I wanted one for myself. I deleted all the words from the previous Word Cloud and typed the new words I wanted. I finished typing the words I wanted, tapped next to a word I wanted to change, and all of my new words were deleted and the previous Word Cloud’s words replaced what I’d just typed. I chalked this up to a temporary glitch. So, I typed the words I wanted in again and it happened, again! Words that I wanted? Gone! Words from the previous Word Cloud? Miraculously, there again. I’ve given it two stars because it at least got the one Word Cloud I needed complete. Past that? Pretty much useless. At least it was only $.99.

Does exactly what it says. Several shapes and color schemes are provided and an option lets the app remove common words automatically. Nice features in a simple and polished interface. If we could see the progress while the app is creating the shape instead of a bulky loading indicator, it would be better. Adding a thin bar at the bottom of the screen to show the loading progress will make it look more favorable.
