Bugs galore

Payed $5 to be able to play real people and the bugs never end. Stops loading mid game. If you close the app and reopen it kicks you. If you move from wifi to cellular it kicks you. If you just play the game…it freezes. Genuinely the worst performing app I’ve had since like 2018. This is inexcusable

Please fix the replacement bots

The game is very fun. However, whenever people quit mid game the replacement bots have unlimited time and continuously make the same offer over and over again. Makes the game unplayable.

Do not buy. Consistently doesn’t work!

I have had this for almost a year, and I have been unable to play for almost half that time due to software not working, or matchmaking not working . I asked for my money back and they said that they couldn’t because I bought the gold through the Apple Store.

Buyer beware!!!

Glitches

Love this game, but I’ve been running into glitches from not being able to roll the dice and adding a house. When this happens you have no choice but to leave the game, which is extremely disappointing.
