Why?

Why all of a sudden do I have to sign in every time I open the app? I don’t want to play with friends. I want to play with the people I’m currently playing against. Every time I’m going to pick sign in with Apple and you are not going to wear me down and give you my friends list!

Ad heavy

Totally ruined by the number of ads

ads ads ads ads ads game ads ads ads

I’m sure dev will defend this trash ad app that occasionally allows you to play a game by saying the ads make it free. But there are ads then there are Scrabble Go ads… 6 -7 clicks to dismiss an ad, ads popping up during gameplay, ads with small or hidden close targets, all the sneaky garbage to keep you there for a few extra seconds… One step from uninstalling this pathetic app forever… Completely disrespectful to the users.

The letter U & I

Please stop populating constantly the letter U and I. It is so obvious what you are trying to do.

GREAT GAME TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS

I play this game with my grandma and it’s fun she beats me 90 percent of the time I love how you have a ai person if someone your playing with isn’t on for a day or two and yea. Im sure my my grandma loves it to

Ads!!!!!

Omh! I love scrabble but the amount of game adds you cannot skip that pop up after literally every turn you play is absolutely not worth playing the game. I am not gonna pay to not have ads the people that do clearly love Scrabble way more than me and I definitely enjoy Scrabble. I’ve been putting up with it for a few days and I’m about to completely uninstall this game because it is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever encountered with any game. 😢

ADS ADS ADS

At the end of the day, ads are what keep these games going, but when you’re getting ads that do not give you options to exit and force redirect you we have an issue. I am going to a competitor app to see if they have more enjoyable experiences. The name doesn’t carry this game.

Ads are ridiculous. Worse than ridiculous

I get if I don’t want to pay, but this is ridiculous…and I have to shut the game down each time because the ads won’t allow me to get out of them, even when I’ve ‘patiently’ watched for the appropriate time.

Worse than you feared!

Yes you know that the adds for fake pharma and obvious scams are more obtrusive than a virus but now they have delivered the real thing. A virus that I can’t get rid of, informing that android has a virus.

The waiting is TOO much

i LOVE scrabble, but what i hate the most is having to wait. I would give this game a 5 star rating if ONLY this game had some sort of time limit. I just waited 45 minutes to finish a game and my opponent was the one that made me wait. Nonetheless, I think people are farming wins on these games by making people WAIT. There is no way in real life you've won what?? OVER 2000 GAMES??? It's the only downside and i would love this app otherwise. I dont even know even the people i play against are real people or not??? Arent bots supposed to be fast??? why am i waiting 5 minutes just for my opponent to skip their turn????

Too many ads

You get an add dang near after every single play. Even if you just had one. You finish? You want a reward? ANOTHER AD. Then a level up reward right after which if you want a chance at better stuff ANOTHER AD. This game isn’t even the popular and it’s on top search with an AD BRO. Then while you play there’s ADS ON TOP. I’m reaching my limit with this. But if you want them gone guess what? A SUBSCRIPTION.

Palavras em português muito estranhas

Quando vc joga solo contra a IA do jogo, essa IA usa um português diferente - ela joga palavras como "Rubber" e "Girls", além de abreviaturas muito estranhas como HM e por aí vai - muito decepcionante.

Ads and Bots Galore in an Otherwise Fine App

Scrabble, as we all know, is a perfectly fine table-top board game where you can play against your friends and family to place the best scoring words atop or alongside other previously placed words. Scrabble GO translates that format into a polished, portable version that includes customizable tiles and mini games that allow for fun and flexibility on the bones of an already decent and well-established game.

Scrabble GO is also exemplary of how corporations ruin their own products over time. To play for free, you will encounter ads everywhere; such as on the home page and after every single play you make. There is no one-time payment that will let you escape from these intrusive ads. Either pay a subscription for “Scrabble Club,” or suffer the wrath of third-party targeted advertising. Sure, there are “charms” that will let you escape the forced ads for 5 minutes or so, but this does not excuse their wholly unnecessary subscription model, which is only in place to justify their incessant tinkering with a game that’s been on mobile devices since 2008.

Some ads provide benefits such as working towards new tile backs or photo borders, which I don’t really have an issue with, but you can bet your bottom dollar that PierPlay will do everything in their power to part you with your money over time. Scrabble GO’s money-grabbing techniques are not unique, and they are very obviously going to continue on the path that near every mobile game company goes down, by inundating every user with as many ads as they believe we will find acceptable.

Scrabble GO also will bother you at least daily with a “Match of the Day,” which is almost always a bot using an AI-generated name and profile picture, designed to make users believe there are more of us on the platform than in reality. Just take notice of the stats of those profiles: they always participate in every game that has a trackable stat. Their profiles are created around 2020-2021; they’ve won around 2,000 games (on top of around 2,000 Duels won); have about 150-200 bingos; over 1,000 word search levels mastered— just look at multiple of them, you’ll see it.

To wrap up, Scrabble Go takes something original and tacks on a plethora of ads and false pretenses. The only nice thing is the fluidity of the UI and the customization you can apply, but even then, it’s a pretty small level of control.

3 out of 5 stars.

Lots of Fun

Hate the Ads.

How is this garbage rated 4.6 stars?

This is the worst app I’ve ever had. Constant ads trying to force you to spend money to remove them! Is a scrabble game worth $8 a month just to play ad free,you decide.
Please reply saying thanks for your input,you people know exactly what you are doing 🤮

Many types of scrabble

I prefer when I get a player who’ll play for a given length of time

Ai slop

Has too many 2 minute ads using AI slop generated “celebrities” like Oprah and Elon Musk(ugh) selling snake oil cures for fat reduction - baking soda and vinegar or Vapor rub and honey . Possible federal crimes for false advertising. Also, either I am playing against bots or to many “players” are cheating and using apps to create words. I’m going to delete.

Too many ads

I used to play this a lot, and understood ads are required for revenue… but now it has become ridiculous as they pop up between every word, so… I’m out.

LOF

Would rate less than one

Terrible app. The user interface is awful
The ads are ridiculous lengthy and repetitive
