### 4/5 — Great Scrabble Trainer

*2024-08-18*

Challenging and fun puzzles. I feel like I learn something from each one I complete. 

One drawback is the 2 minute time limit on every game. It’s good for finding good plays faster but I’d love to have an untimed time option, either a setting to toggle or an untimed puzzle category. 

I’d also like the ability to stop ads. They’re a distraction for me and take me out of the zone. Ads also show up too fast to see the final results screen after each puzzle.

### 3/5 — Ruined with ads

*2023-05-22*

This app has been a favorite of mine for years.  I have sat on airplanes and bragged that it could be played without Wi-Fi and no ads to boot. It was super fun.  Then, they have recently added ads but they’re glitchy and after every segment. Used to be a 5, now giving it a 3 because it is just like everything else out there. Just charge a buck, everyone will buy it.

### 3/5 — Would be a 5 if scoring worked

*2023-04-03*

I’ve loved this game for a long time but it has started shutting down between levels and not recording score. It’s a shame because I used to love playing but now get annoyed.

### 2/5 — Broken ads ruin a great game

*2022-04-27*

I loved this app but more and more lately I have to force close after each game because it comes up with blank ads that don’t have a way to close.  I report them and nothing changes.  It’s extra frustrating on the classic because I can’t see my final score.

### 1/5 — Too many ads need paid option

*2022-01-22, version 2.0.1*

The game is fun but the ads ruin it. I would be glad to pay a one time fee to get rid of ads. Also, I am not in a hurry so I hate not having an option to turn the timer off or give more time.

### 3/5 — Fun game - ads freeze game

*2022-01-12, version 2.0.1*

Fun game and I don’t even care about the ads. But sometimes the ads freeze and you lose your progress. Very annoying.

### 1/5 — Ads lock you out

*2021-12-07*

This is a fun game but it has not been updated in four years. Thus, the ads are formatted for the current iOS and not iOS from four years ago. When you complete a level and are knocked to the ad, you get the black screen of death. Sometimes the game comes back with a few pounds, sometimes it comes back after a time, but frequently it’s just nothing. So annoying time after time. I tried contacting the developer but nothing available there.

### 4/5 — More time wanted

*2021-08-24*

I’m enjoying this but wish there were just a little more time. Even 30 seconds. Also could use a quick tutorial on how to use letters to maximize the score. The ads come on too quickly so you don’t always have a chance to see the explanation of your score. One second or less is not enough.

### 3/5 — Was better

*2021-07-26, version 2.0.1*

I have had this app for years, and I used to love it.  Now that they added an advertisement between each round, I am not a fan.  Wish there was an option to just buy it. I would pay a couple bucks for it to be advertising free.

### 3/5 — I enjoy the game, but....

*2021-05-24*

I enjoy the game, but I wish I didn’t have to deal with all of the ads. I’d pay to not have to deal with them. I also wish there was a way to reset all of the tile back to the starting position after they were placed on the board.
