Stupid app

What the heck it won’t let me start it doesn’t tell me how to do it, it won’t recognize the tiles, stupid stupid, DO NOT BUY you’ll regret it.

App randomly closing

If you have a tablet that can’t update to iOS 18 but can only stay on 17 then the app will randomly close down. When you use it at a school we can’t always get new iPads every 2 years. Hopefully they will fix this issue.

App leaving randomly when not supposed to.

When I was just about to enter a match battle when the game randomly made me leave the app. it was so annoying that I had to switch to Osmo words(not classic) instead of word battling Awbie in Osmo words classic. That’s why I rated 3/5. I know Awbie is fun and silly strawberry throwing yeti but I don’t like it when I randomly leave when I’m about to word battle. Tip: and can you make it harder in Osmo words (not classic)?
