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.

Freezes nearly every game

Used to love playing this game on iPhone but now freezes and glitches so much it’s hardly worth playing. Such a shame

Introduction of Ads

Used to love playing. Now, the app loads and starts with an Ad. You can play 2-3 games, then you start a game that loads blank, no tiles to turn. This forces you to restart the app so you have to watch another Ad.

There’s also instances of your opponent clearly running out of time, but then a tile is still turned 5-10 seconds later. Then those opponents that have clearly lost, but somehow freeze the game - the timer runs out but they aren’t declared as lost and the game just hangs until you restart the app.

It’s now a 1 star app for me.

Hi Hodgy17, thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience. The blank games and matches getting stuck are not intended behavior. We're looking into reports like these. If possible, please send us a short video or screenshots at support@lite.games so we can investigate further. Your LITE Games Team

Fun, BUT…

Jesus Christ at the ads!!! Play one game and suffer through at least THREE ads. Delete engaged.

Frozen Screen

Update- software updated by developer 1 week ago- First game I played and it froze again. Dang it! FIX IT!!!! I love this app but over the last month it has been freezing up regardless of where I am located and if I am on wifi or cellular data. My percentages have gotten skewed as a result of not finishing games. Also, the ads are very annoying. I am moving to a paid app.

Poor poor quality

This game freezes, and when you try to play your friends it is inconsistent

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

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear this. Please try restarting your device and reinstalling the app. If the behavior continues, please contact us at support@lite.games with your device model and a short description of when it happens so we can take a closer look.

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.

Frustrating game issues

I have had this game for years, probably more than 10 yrs. I have stuck with it through multiple bugs, knowing developers need time and real game play to work through issues. However it is getting beyond frustrating to deal with the crashes that I am convinced are tied to cheaters and sore losers. I have sent videos to support of the weird freezing and such that happens very coincidentally only when and opponent seems likely to lose. My stats have been greatly affected by the intentional crashes experienced. After finally getting more friends and family willing to learn and play I can’t in good conscience recommend a game with these issues that seem to be ignored by developers and the support team. After reading reviews I am not alone in these cheating issues. Sad.

Freezes in the middle of the game

In the middle of the game, the screen will freeze and you will have to close out of the app and watch another 30 second ad to play another game. Are we trying to get more ad revenue? Does this occur on the paid version?
