by Railrd I always have three or four words a game that I know are spelled correctly but are not allowed. Would be a better game if it would accept words in the dictionary.

by Martpie This has been the buggiest app I have ever had to deal with. So you can imagine my delight when the update to fix the bugs came out. So, naturally, I updated. After 30 minutes of the "loading" update freezing up my phone, the app then completely disappeared from my phone and am unable to reinstall because the phone thinks it is already installed. As usual, outstanding job programmers!

by Scott Kipper The gameplay itself is perfectly fine but there are some major oversights that I cannot believe made it through multiple revisions (as of now they are at ver 3.12).

Who releases a game today that does not let you silence the sound, especially on a portable system that will likely be used in public? In order to mute the sounds (which are obnoxious) I have to mute my entire phone. The turn based gameplay is perfect for a "play throughout the workday when you have a free moment" style of play, but having to mute my phone to get in a turn without alerting everyone around that I am playing a game is rediculous.

Which leads me to my next complaint. This game is theoretically great for a "play when you get a chance" style BUT the push notifications take an insanely long time to go through (everytime I've timed it they took at least 1 min, usually more than 2 or 3 minutes). So if I play a turn and then go back to the home screen, it'll be at least 4 or 5 minutes before I know I can take another turn, even if my oponent took their turn immediately after they got their push notification. This also leads to moments where your opponent takes a turn, then you take a turn, and THEN you get a push notification indicating it's your turn (for the turn you already took). Compare this to other games such as Carcassonne where push notifications are almost instantaneous.

Another complaint that I see echoed repeatedly in reviews is that you have to wait for your turn to resign the game. This basically holds the game hostage while you wait for an opponent who is no longer playing to take their turn (which will never happen).

Fix the above and this will easily be a 4 or 5 star app. As it is, these flaws prevent this game from living up to it's true potential.
