Pros and cons of Dungeon Scroll app for iPhone and iPad

Dungeon Scroll app good for

Most word games dont keep me interested very long, but this one has me wanting to level up and try to get to the last dungeon. Awesome game!
This game gives the feel of a fantasy game without taking ours to play. I typical games goes for about twenty minutes, and you feel like youve improved your spelling on the way. The treasures you find are hilarious "you find a delicious vibrating princess", for example
Replace a scrabble board with a string of monster fights, and you have a good idea what this game is about. Your words become "attack" spells, and there are opportunities to improve your players life, attack power, etc. Its an incredibly cool idea, and works really well. One of the beat word games you can find :)
This is a super word game with a solid dictionary behind it. My one bug gripe is the auto save. The way to save and quit in the middle is by just hitting the Home button. If you exit to the menu, thats the same as giving up. It does NOT save if you exit to the main menu. Could definitely use a small interface fix to address that....
I like rpg and puzzle games but usually HATE word games like bookworm. This one is the exception. Like everything about it. The different difficulty modes are very helpful. I am on kid mode LOL but my friend that does like word games would use wizard mode. This makes it accessible or challenging as you want. I would like to know what the loot is for. If it is simply treasure I want a trophy page!
Im really enjoying playing this game. A few more detailed instructions would be helpful, but killing monsters plus word game equals awesomesauce. I think the rewards at the end of the dungeon levels are random and funny-not meant to be taken seriously. Great game!

Some bad moments

This game had great potential but some serious flaws. I started out thinking "Wow what a great game!" then I died.... You die its game over. No continue. No retry. You start over at the beginning and have to go through from the beginning of the game. This wouldnt be so bad except for when you die instantly due to big fingers and hitting the wrong letters by accident. Imagine playing a game for 30 minutes, having full health but accidently hiting an S instead of an A and dieing instantly... back to the beginning. My second gripe. No information. Once again another game where you have no idea how some things work. Would definetly be a 5 star game if it wasnt for some serious flaws. As it stands now not sure if its worth the $2 price.
Ive been playing DS for a while, and there have been no upgrades, or any response to problems reported. My highscores are not recognized when it should be in the global top 10. There are other glitches throughout the game. I think the creators have abandoned their supporters!
Basically its Scrabble but with crappy graphics, annoying music, and sound effects that you cant turn off.
I have enjoyed playing this word game for quite some time, now. Sadly a recent update has introduced a bug that kills your game session prior to completing all levels. Once this is fixed, Ill increase the rating from 2 to 4 or 5 stars (based on whatever else is added).
