Game for bug exploiters

I like this game but with one big caveat. There is an unresolved bug that allows opponents to time out when they’re on the brink of losing and after a while somehow it’s me that’s lost the game. The developers ask the players to send evidence by recording or something similar. Of course that’s not possible given it doesn’t happen often. This isn’t the first time someone’s complained about this exact issue. You need to sort this out!

App crashes constantly

The app crashes constantly - often times right after a win where the app shuts down. Half the time it doesn’t record the win, or it records a win as a loss. There should also be an audible countdown when your time is almost up. When you’re focused on the board, a silent clock is a real headache. I lost several games I would have otherwise won because the clock timed out while I was planning 2-3 moves ahead.

Malware?

Tried playing this today, it demanded an update. Installed the update and when I started it again it displayed fake warnings about “viruses found” with the usual “click here for details”. Of course I didn’t click there, I deleted the game from my phone.

Freezes phone

Fun game but it locks up the entire phone, can’t even shut phone down. All updates installed and have even deleted the app and downloaded it again. Too bad, fun game.

Ads

After two games I can’t even open the app without having to wait for an ad
