Frustrated

I use to love the app. However, something happened and I am longer able to watch ads to get coins or my boosters. I contacted them 2 or 3 times and my issue never got resolved. Ads still pop up and play after each of my turns, so I know they can play and it’s not my settings. I think they are trying to force me to buy coins instead of letting me earn them. It’s very disappointing.

Game cheats

I’m so tired of this game cheating. Wonder what dictionary the developers use. Since when is “tripolar” not a word??? It’s in the dictionary! This happens all the time. Please fix it. Update. There are way too many fraudulent ads. Recently a Nordstrom ad came up but when I clicked on it I was taken to a fraudulent website. Many other ads force you onto their website or you have to close the game and go back in to get rid of the ads. There should be a law against that.
Update: I’m saying goodbye. The ads have gotten ridiculous. Some of them I have to tap 8 times to make it go away. Greedy developers take all the fun out of playing. Uninstalling.

Lame game

Bring back lightning mode already

Ad’s

The ads are ridiculous, I wish I could just buy the game to get rid of the annoying ads.

Words with friends

Too many adds, now you must watch not one but two adds between moves. Some adds lasting up to 30 seconds! Ridiculous
