Rhyme Finder App Reviews

I cannot believe how bad this app is. I normally use the free web based program but since I needed something when I was not able to get on the web, I decided to try this. It is pathetically bad. Do not even think of buying it as you will be very disppointed. A complete waste of money. An example, if you type in more, it will not even give you obvious rhymes like door or store but rather you get, timor or blackmore. Go figure.

excelent tool for pairing rhymes with syllables. convienient and user friendly, I couldent have asked for more. im surprised its not Apple designed. worth the toonie investment. (p.s searching more does give the sugestion of door and store - hint: filter rhyme strength)

Simple and efficient. Does what it is supposed to. It would be nice if by clicking a word, the app forwarded one to the definition whether in another app or the Apple dictionary. Mere suggestion, though.

You cannot filter by syllables or kind of rhyme, and it returns too many rhymes to be useful. If Im writing a song I dont want to have to scroll through 600 rhymes to find the right word.

Half of the words dont even rhyme...

Thanks for updating and improving this app! Comes up with good results for multiple syllable words, and the slider to determine strong/weak rhyme is very nice. Excellent!

The closest rhyme this program came up with for the word "measure" was "seizure". It did not return the words treasure, leisure, or pleasure, no matter how "weak" the rhyme sensitivity was set. The only rhyme for "dig" that turned up when the strength was set to full, was "shindig". A two-syllable word containg the original word?!?! What about "big" or "pig"? Not happy. Wanting my 1.99 back. My brain works far better than this.

This application cannot find the most basic rhyming words. It is very poor. Try typing in a word such as dent and you will only receive three matches: indent, occident and president. I dont know about you, but I can think of at least a half dozen other words that rhyme. If you are a serious writer, stay away from this application. It is not worth $1.99.

As a formal-verse poet, I love this versatile and useful app. To fully appreciate Rhyme Finder, it is important to differentiate between several kinds of rhyme. Optimal use of the rhyme strength bar depends on this. For example, for the word “vent,” the strong setting finds identicals. The second setting finds true rhymes, and the third setting finds near rhymes. The weak setting finds final consonantal rhymes. If a word has no identicals, as is the case with “jeep,” then the strong setting finds true rhymes. The number of settings varies according to the kinds of rhyme available. Sometimes you might get two kinds of consonantal rhymes at the medium and weak levels, as with the word “first.” I have noticed only one incorrect match so far, where “anemone” was offered as a 3-syllable true rhyme for “phone.” At first I thought it might have been included as an eye rhyme, but then I saw the 3 syllable count. No two rhyming dictionaries are alike, and none are omnipotent. I often consult several--including books, e-books, and websites--before finding the right rhyme. But I really wanted an offline, fully-searchable rhyme source on my MacBook Air. So when I came across Rhyme Finder, I couldn’t resist--especially for only $1.99. Im truly delighted with how well it works!

If it cant find that Carol rhymes with Barrel (or somewhat close ;-), its got problems….

Depressingly disappointing after being so hopeful. I guess it is difficult to do this right, but there must be something better than this. For instance, if you list understand, it comes up with misunderstand. Not creative. But there is very much a need.

Dont mind the other poor reviews. This app is fantastic. As a musician and lyricist, this app has it all. You can filter words by how closely they ryhme and how many syllables they are. There are plenty of words that show up, you just have to adjust the filter (in response to sheshoers review). It is definitely worth every cent I paid. Check it out!

I’m going to keep this post short and concise. I’ve had a great many pleasures in reading various English rhyme books, and it is to the best of my understanding that regional dialect can certainly account for some readers not finding certain rhymes, whatever their structure. For example, it’s common for Midwestern Americans to pronounce the word “roof” with a hard “oo”-sound as in “the cow goes moo.” In other regions, like Southern California, the same word can be heard in a wide number of dialects, one of which can be heard as being pronounced with a soft “o,” wherein the word sounds closely to “rough.” I hope this information helps!
