I really like this app, it's a nice ad free implementation of the classic puzzle. I like being able to choose whether to play against the clock, and to choose a puzzle with lots of words to find or only a few. It took me a while to figure out that's what the built in word count was for, it wasn't explained in the instructions. My only gripe is with the inconsistency about "no plurals ending in s" rule. Shirts is allowed but shires is not. I avoid puzzles with s, too frustrating.

Fantastic app! Very clean UI, the game follows traditional rules, and the dictionary is perfect (excludes plurals, proper nouns, etc.). This is without a doubt the best made Target game out there. No ads, no nonsense, and I love that you can move the game to the bottom half, makes it easier to use on larger screens. Thank you for updating it for modern phones:)

Its addictive so I need to uninstall periodically otherwise my chores go undone! I find it most annoying however, that certain words are in the dictionary but not accepted in the game even though they fit the rules and vice versa - certain words are presented which dont appear on any source. I tried keeping a list then tired of it but still have certain amount saved if anyone is interested.
