Doesn’t let you play against people

### 1/5 — Doesn’t give free coins!

*2019-08-07, version 1.2*

Not only does it get boring after a while playing a robot, this game doesn’t give me the free coins “daily” like it’s supposed to, and i’m not buying any. So here I am stuck playing a robot. Really gonna go ahead and uninstall.

### 5/5 — Excellent
