If you liked Words with friends on the iphone you’ll like it on the iPad, but you’ll wish the authors would allow for a landscape view as well.  Opening the game and starting a new game is similar to the iphone version only you now use a menu that overlaps the board to do so.  You can still play with your other version on your iphone and both devices will update, so you can easily handoff the game from the iphone to the iPad when you want to.  Sometimes in our house I would like to play on the iPad but it’s not available, so I use my phone until it is

the board on the iPad is large enough that you should never need to do the tap to zoom in like you did on the iPhone version.  Though it does have a zoom view, just not one that appreciably make the view larger, just one that you need to scroll a bit to get from side to side.  I like the overall view better on the iPad, it just looks cleaner I suppose due to the size.  The push notifications work well with the unit, if your in the middle of browsing or editing something with Office HD,  you can instantly hop back to make your move or ignore the notification.

If you like scrabble like games then this is a plus and it loads and plays faster than the official Hasbro scrabble game.  Check back soon and I will show it in comparison.  Overall I would say if your trying to choose Scrabble or Word with Friends (WWF), I would go with Words.  I paid $2.99 for WWF HD and $4.99 for Scrabble and I end up playing WWF usually everyday.  Another component that makes it such a great deal is if you don’t know anyone with the game you can pick up a Random opponent and get a game going anytime.  Not that you’ll need to, if you show anyone you know with it that hasn’t seen it the game pretty much sells itself if they like turn based games.

Until they release a landscape capable version.
