So so

Needs a chat option. Fairly basic and a little bit clunky especially when connecting with friends. If you leave the app to send a message for example or anything else, you lose the game due to it logging out.

Hahaha ridiculous

I haven't even played a single game and I've already been shown four ads. Hahaha, better not, thanks.

Waste of time!

Outcome has been determined before the game starts. They allow players to name themselves vulgar profane names! They say fair! No way, triple 6’s in a row, no way!
Worst game ever! I just want an honest fair game and this ain’t it.
