### 4/5 — Update?

*2022-12-26, version 2.1.2.0*

Would love for the ability to make the game longer or even have multiple rounds happen in succession!

### 1/5 — Not easy, not fun

*2021-05-04, version 2.1.2.0*

You must pick up your finger for each letter selection, then submit each word. There is no shuffle election.

### 2/5 — Good start

*2020-07-23, version 2.1.2.0*

Great game but has some issues to clear up. Freezes on a black screen or ad page at times. At other times game restarts itself.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2020-02-13, version 2.1.2.0*

It has great promise. I’ve been up too long to really give it a row. Time will tell.

### 1/5 — Inappropriate Ads

*2019-11-16, version 2.1.2.0*

I haven’t even played many times yet and have seen the same ad more than twice now that is not appropriate. It is an ad that appears to be of for sale items from the “wish” app that depicts multiple images. Disappointed I can’t trust a WORD game to be safe for my kids to play. I will be now deleting the wish app as well. Related to the game itself, I found it annoying to not be able to control any settings related to the amount of time you can play. There is only one choice (one minute?) and it’s too short. I would be on a roll and not even remotely done finding words most times when the time ran out.

### 4/5 — Shuffle

*2019-10-29, version 2.1.2.0*

Fun game! I do wish I could shuffle.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2018-12-30, version 2.0.0*

This app does not work properly. Half the players will have the board reset in the middle of a round, and at the end of each round every player he’s to REJOIN. It is obnoxious.

### 4/5 — I like the game so far.

*2018-03-20, version 2.0.0*

I’m a new user so still learning but would be great to be able to shuffle the letters.
