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.

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.
