It's a really fun (and quite challenging) implementation with over a half dozen separate puzzles to work on, promising hours and hours of game play."

SlideToPlay rated the game 4 out of 4, writing, " If you like your word games simple yet brain-tickling, iAssociate 2 is perfect. " AndroidGamesReviws gave it 4 out of 5 stars, commenting, "iAssociate 2: Test your knowledge and vocabulary in this fantastic word association game. Rating: 4/5 A fantastic game which is fun to enjoy in a group, in couples, or by yourself. It's unique, interesting and educational all at once... it could even help someone with out-of-the-box thinking and improve creativity! There's no reason why you shouldn't download this free title and give it a whirl. " AppSafari gave it 4/5 stars and said, "It's clear a lot of love went into smoothing out the humps and bumps from the first version, and the effort has paid off in a big way. Still, aside from the gorgeous new interface and a few additional features, there isn't a lot about iAssociate 2 to differentiate itself from the original, but it's definitely a game well-worth trying if you're a fan of words." TheAppEra said, "The game needs a name change, i-Something isn't made for everything. Now that's out of the way, this is a VERY addictive guessing game. There's a Flash version of this game somewhere but this is far better!" Jeremy Parish, senior editor of USgamer described the game as "Another from the 'wife wanted me to play this one with her' files".
