iPad App of the Week

Sorry I have been incognito. Much has been happening in life and ministry. During the in-between times, instead of blogging, I have been caught up with the iPad App of the week. I'vv been working with words, just not in the way I'd grown accustomed to.






I must admit, I love Scrabble in it's analog form, but the digital version knocks my socks off! At home we have the board game and the new Scrabble Flash game, but the iPad app gets the most play.

Funny (and true) story: Some years ago when hubby and I were dating, we would play and play and play all night long. Nerds! It didn't become obvious to us, until we were at a house party playing with other couples, that we had been making up rules to the game. Yes, we were that couple. You know, the people who make up rules and don't know how to lose gracefully when playing by the real rules. But thanks be to God, we have matured and we now know how to play the game. Not only can we play correctly, but we play well!




The iPad app has so many options for play. Let's see...
I play it alone, to pass the time...
I pass and play it with hubby, for bragging rights in the house...
I play it when my sermons are hiding from me, hoping that one of the words will inspire a thought...
I play it with Facebook friends, although a game can sometimes take a week to complete...




The only way I haven't played is using the Party Play option. You need to have iPhones for that, and since we are a Blackberry household, well...you get the picture. But I imagine that this option is great for a party full of iPhone geeks, I mean users. But look at the picture...how cool is that! I'd become and iPhone geek just to play Scrabble like this...





All that said, I would suggest you get the Scrabble App for iPad. It was my first iPad download, and it hasn't disappointed me yet!

  1. You really are making me jealous when it comes to this iPad thing. I feel like I'm stuck in the Stone Ages... but soon, I will leave Wilma and Dino behind and join you in the 21st Century.

    Thanks for the suggestions...
