App keeps crashing
The game is great, but every so often, it just stops working for online games.
Poor dictionary, annoying UI
The dictionary is missing common words, which is a cardinal sin for game of this type. A number of cards involve choices (e.g. 1 coin or one VP), and the UI needs a cumbersome number of clicks to navigate this. Just give us a coin-VP slider and a ink-vs-remover slider!
Hardback is great!
Hardback faithfully represents the board game. I haven't played with any of the optional additional mechanics, but a few comments for the developers:
1. You can quit on your turn, and some times you'll get a different hand of cards. This seems like a remediable cheating angle
2. You *have* to quit fairly frequently, because the game will get into a state where it won't accept taps, which is annoying.
3. I'm not a huge fan of how easy it is to accidentally move letters in your word into your letters you're not using. This wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't need to drag things so much, but I'd prefer a swipe-down or something to single tap dismissing a letter
4. It would be really nice if the keyboard worked, so if I typed letters, they'd just move from my list of letters up to the word (and keyboard shortcuts for pressing your luck would be nice, too)

Multiplayer is broken
The game itself is enjoyable but as others have said the online multiplayer is unusable since I cannot add new friends on the new server. The developer has not yet responded to my support requests. I’d hold off on any purchase until this is resolved.
Fan of physical, OS version could use work
Online issues still continued. I am unsure to add new friends when my list is empty.
I just lost all my friends and all my open games. Same with other people I know. Something is broken as I can't add them back now. The UI feels clunky especially async online play. Dev should model this more after the old Carcassonne game where players can see the board even if it isn't their turn. You should have a bar along the bottom that displays players score and ink counts. All buttons should be more defined and identifiable. Would be great to be able to zoom and pan around the board to see details of cards. Play a sound with the notification so we get a buzz. Would love to see this game realize its full potential.
