Help!

What on earth is happening with this app? I have been playing for years but all of a sudden my quick games keep crashing and making me the loser, even if I was winning! My app and iOS are both up to date. If this bug is not fixed I will give up on this game as it’s FRUSTRATING!!

I want to like it but….

The letter distribution system in this game is incredibly unfair. The words are spelled different ways on different boards (ork and orc etc) depending on what the cross needs which is ridiculous. The fact you don’t get at least 3 free boards given to you every day is asinine. Who wants to watch ads? If you don’t then you have to pay their ridiculous monthly fee! Not a one time fee. This could be a really great game but they don’t care enough to clean it up and make it better. I keep downloading it in hopes it will be better every time I do.

Good game ok

Good game too many Ads tho.

Expensive

Fun game overall but no one time fee to get rid of ads and subscription is very expensive for a phone game. The trial period is also way too short and I ended up paying a whole month before canceling but that’s probably the intention.

I love this game!

It is a great challenge. My only critique of course is the price for the subscription. So I only play as much as I can for free.
