Cluttered With Ads

I’ve been using this app for many years, but I’ve stopped using it because of the nonstop deluge of ads that has made the game unusable.

Despite the developers promising to fix the situation with the endless stream of ads, the game is still plagued by them. This includes a long unskippable ad before you’re able to play.

AVOID DOWNLOADING, you will regret it if you do.

Every Release Brings More Bugs

I love this game, and I really enjoy playing online opponents using this app. For this is has worked OK for a long time.. but recently it’s got to the point of frustration as more bugs creep in.

Frequently you’ll enter a game that is totally blank.. this has been the case for years.

More recently, the game will freeze mid game (often mid animation or a turning tile) and this will render your phone unusable for about 5-10 seconds .

Add to that the proliferation of robot opponents when you should be playing other humans and this game can’t score more than two.

If they fixed the bugs it would be a four out of five, but given how long these bugs have been around, I wouldn’t hold my breath

I love the game but it freezes constantly

I love this game. I love the layout. But it constantly freezes while playing. There seems to be some sort of memory leak in the game that even causes my phone to stop responding to touch. I reached out to the developer and they said it was a known issue. I’ve waited for weeks, hoping they would get it fixed. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like it’s getting fixed. It’s very sad.
