TNW Quick Hit
Verses is a great new take on the old refrigerator word magnets you have played with for so many years.
Love It: A good, fun, collaborative experience. Sharable with friends. The magnets are popular for a reason. Many words available. Extra dictionaries on sale. Free.
Hate It: Gets cluttered, could use some UI cleanup. Needs more total free words. Hard to put down.
Overall: 4/5
The Details: iPads are amazing devices that can re-illuminate childhood favorites in new ways that blend modern technology and old-fashioned fun. Verses is an excellent application of this truth.
Dictionaries of other words (hip-hop, LOL-tionary, Shakespeare, etc) cost a dollar a piece to spice up your creations, allowing you to get very, very creative.
For a free application, Verses is very well designed, engaging, and a must download for iPad.
