### 5/5 — Anyone wanna play me?

*2023-03-05*

It’s hard trying to find people to play all the time lol, so if anyone else is having this problem and wants to play me, my player id is #RKvuHEd 🤙🏽

### 3/5 — Need a random player option

*2019-11-20*

Wishing I had someone to play with. Maybe include a random player option to choose from?   If anyone wants to add me my username is #TwGfm-B

### 4/5 — Mahalo! Minor fix suggestions

*2019-11-20*

Welina mai, some requests for the next patch:
- Allow for search by username
- Fix invite link (not able to copy)
- Add chat function
- Waiting Room matchups, or some other method to challenge random, active players 

Mahalo for developing and releasing this!  The future looks bright for ka ʻŌlelo makuahine.

### 4/5 — Finding games

*2019-11-13*

I’d love to play but don’t think I have anyone to play with. I play Words with Friends a lot, and often use the random matchup feature, or play against the computer. Also, linking with facebook helps me find matches. It would be great to see these features on Lehulehu

### 5/5 — Need a random player option!

*2019-11-08*

Love the game, especially because it allows me to practice and even learn more of our language. But, it would be nice to find more people to play with! Add me: oB4KVGm

### 4/5 — Mahalo nui!

*2019-11-07*

I am really enjoying this app.  However there are a couple of things on my wishlist.  Maybe something to consider in the next upgrade.  It would be awesome to have a chat feature so I can comment to my opponent on his words, or just smack talk!  HAHAHA.  The other thing is...well, first of all, I am assuming that HP = hua palapala, and H = huaʻōlelo.  So if that’s the case, then maybe the four spaces surrounding the inital star space should be HP and not H.  My initial word got 4 points when I thought it should have gotten double the points according to Scrabble rules.  Then my opponent’s word spanned two of the H spaces and ended up getting 36 points on a 9 point word.  The math is not adding up.  Then finally, I placed a 10 point tile on a 3HP space.  The word was “hī” going horizontally.  The ī was on a 3HP, and the H was used with another existing ī going vertically.  If I were playing Scrabble rules, the H would have been counted twice (2pts x 2 = 4 pts), then the verticle ī (10pts) plus the triple horizonal ī (30pts) for a total of 44 pts.  However I was only awarded 12 points which is the face value of the horizonal word “hī”.  Again the math is not lining up.  Not a big deal...it’s just a game.  Just thought you should know in case that was not your intention.  But again, mahalo for this app!  Good fun!

### 5/5 — Searching for people

*2019-11-05*

I’m rating this app five stars because it is absolutely amazing. However, I’m extremely bummed that I cannot find a single person to play. The “search” always tells me “player does not exist” but I’d be sitting next to my sister looking at her player ID and typing it in exact. Someone random found me and it’s been fun playing but myself and all of my family members are struggling wishing searching for players to connect with. If anyone has any tips on how to fix this, please comment ! Mahalo

### 5/5 — Awesome game...

*2019-11-04*

This game is awesome! Mahalo. Just the only thing I wish we could find people to play instead of waiting for someone to add us 🤗
