(Preface that I am a paying customer on the annual subscription plan) I have played thousands of games and I have encountered so many frustrating bugs. 1. Sometimes online games never load up. You're just staring at an empty board. 2. Sometimes it's clear that the opponent is a bot - I'm guessing that occasionally there aren't enough people to match, so the game finds "someone" for you to play with. I wish that it would just be honest about it, because it's never evident from the name that it's a bot player. The bot player is substantially worse than most live players so it gets really boring after a while to play against it. 3. There are some players who have offensive and racist names. I try to block them, but the next time I load up the game, they show up as on the Buddies list instead of the Blocked Users list. This is a reprensible bug. 4. Some players quit on you before the match ends. That sometimes causes the app to freeze for a while or worse, crash. This has been happening for months and it's ridiculous that it still hasn't been fixed.
