User reviews

App freezing

The app keeps freezing while trying to play and it’s annoying

Glitches out every 5 seconds

It would be fun if it didn’t glitch out every literal 5 seconds. You have to force close to app and restart every few seconds bc it freezes or starts glitching. Maybe because it’s so easy to win they do it on purpose idk. It’s annoying.

Just bad

And complicated to play multiplayer

Frustrating

This app glitches so much it’s not worth my time anymore. You also have to watch an ad every other turn which is a bit excessive.

Great

So much fun
