### 1/5 — Many Minuses

*2012-04-15*

1- The program is not free. That is not the problem. The problem is that there is a better program "Baloot" that is free.

2- I noticed some mistakes in game play. For example the computer played a hearts while he should have used a Hokom.

3- I don't understand while all text is English while the words are Arabic? You can write in Arabic! Also, some sound funny, like "projects" in the score sheet which is supposed to mean "مشاريع"!!

4- the add is annoying? It looks like it stays even if I buy tokens.
