There’s now at least 2 ads between turn, and add when the game finished, adds run for too long and the “cancel x “ button is too small. Sometimes the only way to clear the screen is to open the ap store and close again. You’ve gone too far. Rewards don’t actual give you anything and you have to watch more adds to get them. Scrabble has gone way passed the tipping point now to enjoy a game for too much interruption. They even send you adds to pay to stop adds! ### 2/5 — Fun Game *2026-08-27, version 1.109.3* Waaaaaaay too many ads. Almost After Every Play.. Ridiculous ### 3/5 — Ok *2026-08-24, version 1.109.3* Ok. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2026-08-24, version 1.109.3* Has ads that are impossible to get out of. No longer playing. ### 2/5 — Beware *2026-08-24, version 1.109.3* I understand that there are ads that support the game but some of them do not time out and you can’t quit them. Even though I enjoy playing Scrabble, this mobile game is not fun. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-24, version 1.109.3* it was a great game at first but now i keep getting swamped with ads! it is makes the game hard to play when i keep having to watch ads. ### 1/5 — Never downloading again😠 *2026-08-24, version 1.109.3* There’s just too much going on. Take it down a notch and take so details away it’s too much. I’m going to play wordle instead I guess 😕😒 ### 1/5 — MURDERED BY ADS *2026-08-23, version 1.109.3* its unbearable ### 3/5 — Mixed *2026-08-23, version 1.109.3* I love scrabble!!! I love the game!!! It’s the optional conversation part I am having trouble with. All I want to do is play and I get older men trying to hit on me through conversations. And when I don’t respond they just up and resign the game- so I never finish any game fully except with the computer. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-08-22, version 1.109.3* Too many ads. I’m deleting this game. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-22, version 1.109.3* Who wants to see an ad after EVERY WORD!!!!! No one. Stop it. ### 1/5 — Full-Minute Ads *2026-08-22, version 1.109.3* Just gave me a full-minute ad between games, which by the way is longer than the double unstoppable ads YouTube gives. Where does this end? ### 1/5 — ADS!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-08-22, version 1.109.3* ADS after every letter. Do not waste your time ### 3/5 — Helpful *2026-08-22, version 1.109.3* It’s a fun game but way too many ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AD OVERLOAD *2026-08-30, version 1.109.3* I understand apps need money to function…but there is an ad after EVERY SINGLE TURN. I adore Scrabblr in real life, and unfortunately had to delete this app because the amount of add got so frustrating ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-29, version 1.109.3* Paid for no ads still get ads every turn. ### 1/5 — What’s going on? *2026-08-29, version 1.109.3* The app starts to load up and then freezes, retry it says… since after supper yesterday ### 1/5 — Not fair *2026-08-28, version 1.109.3* It’s not a one start it’s a no start. The game only lets the computer win when you are playing by yourself. The computer gets the points for the extra words. The computer gets the good letters too because every single time I’ve played with the computer especially on “medium “ the computer get every single good letters too and I’m stuck with duplicates ### 1/5 — Good game killed by ads *2026-08-28, version 1.109.3* After a while the ads in this game get longer and longer, with no skip function. Recently they’ve increased again to 30 second videos after EVERY go! Or you can pay £60 a year to play ad free……£60, for Scrabble?! ### 1/5 — Ads are extremely frequent and scale with play *2026-08-27, version 1.109.3* The more you play, the more often they show intrusive ads. In some game modes, the ads are basically a constant stream interrupting gameplay. The interface is terrible and there are MUCH better ad-free alternatives out there! I would rather play the actual board game than look at this headache-inducing app again. ### 1/5 — Tries to open malicious websites *2026-08-26, version 1.109.3* Ads try to open malicious websites. No way to remove ads. Can’t listen to music, app cuts off audio from other apps. Does not connect to the Game Center ### 1/5 — ADS ADS TOO MANY ADS *2026-08-26, version 1.109.3* I have played by whole life- I’ve played this scrabble game for many years. Im shocked to see that this has been over taken by far to many ads! And the longest ads I’ve experienced in any App ever! I how this will change- then I’ll come back and play again. ### 1/5 — Old dictionary *2026-08-25, version 1.109.3* This game needs to update its dictionary. Any word used by the machine is automatically a word. If you use a word that’s in the dictionary that may not be common or a word they like they call it invalid. ### 1/5 — No the best *2026-08-25, version 1.109.3* Download app to play with friend however after two games Ads starting taking over the app. 2 min add after every turn. They make it ever hard to “exit” out of the ads. 99% of the time you will be redirected to the App Store for downloading the app in the ads. Game do not pop up showing active games. I’ll send games to friends right next to me and nothing comes over from their end. Not a good app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST GAME ONLINE *2026-08-30, version 1.109.3* I have been playing Scrabble since I was a youngster and I have to say once you play Scrabble with this app, you will never play Scrabble any other way again!!!! I very highly recommend this game to anybody who enjoys playing Scrabble. I can't even think of a better way to play this game!!!! 👍👍 ### 5/5 — SCRABBLE ALL THE WAY *2026-08-30, version 1.109.3* I like playing and I enjoy every bit of it ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-26, version 1.109.3* Its the best way to learn spelling and enjoying company. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-26, version 1.109.3* Great way to play on the go ### 5/5 — Tamika *2026-08-24, version 1.109.3* Love the game but ads do away with ### 5/5 — Very fun, please let us view previous games *2026-08-20, version 1.109.3* This is my favorite iPhone app! The “Classic” mode is great and lets you play without the annoyingly distracting graphics that are in the other versions, so if you don’t like those just change your settings to “Classic” mode and start challenging friends to play! One helpful improvement would be to let players see a game that has just ended. After someone makes the last move, the gameboard quickly flashes on the screen and then disappears permanently, making it impossible to enjoy seeing what the winning/losing move was or to figure out who started the previous game (most people take turns). Please let us see the most recent, finished game/moves just like we can see the current game/moves. Merely showing a picture of the finished game to help us remember who played the first word wouldn’t help, because sometimes a player uses the first move to exchange tiles. Other than that, this is a really great app. It’s a little pricey to remove the ads, but enjoyable enough to be worth it to me and my friends. ### 5/5 — AD FREE SCRABBLE GAME *2026-08-17, version 1.109.2* How do I find an ad free scrabble game. I can’t stand watching these 3 minutes ads in between games. If there are ads in this game I am deleting it. ### 5/5 — Kinda good? *2026-08-14, version 1.109.1* I now enjoy it now that I actually play it more and have gotten more familiar with it and it’s now my go to game in my free time ### 5/5 — JS *2026-08-12, version 1.109.2* Fun ### 5/5 — Where have the Ads gone? *2026-08-10, version 1.109.2* Edit: I found out the ads came back after return from my holiday. Afraid to reveal my conclusion in case the glitch is fixed! Good luck! Have barely tolerated playing this game for years due to ads. Really only played because a friend refused to play WWF instead. Last few days - no ads. A joy! Thanks. Hope you don’t fix the glitch. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
