Continues Going Downhill

Update: Sadly, since my prior review below, it just continues to get worse. Years ago when I first began playing, it was pretty much a five star app, but it just keeps going downhill. It hasn’t been updated in years and it shows. More often than not, when it shows plays have been made and it’s waiting for me, there are no games showing up in the “Your Moves” tab. Even if I close the tab or the app repeatedly, nothing shows up. They’re all still in the “Their Move” tab. Then suddenly they are there another time when I open it and it shows the plays were made numerous minutes to hours prior. Additionally, the algorithms continue to worsen. I have opponents with whom it should be pretty even when it comes to our records but yet they are ridiculously skewed either in favor of me or them. If we were playing the board version there’s no way we’d have the record we have.
______________

It’s really too bad this app seems to have stagnated. I’ve had the paid version for years and now I really only play it because of several friends I play around the world. I’ve grown weary of the obvious cheaters, the rude players and functionally issues. Within the last week or so, I no longer see when it’s my turn to move even though notification settings are still set as they’ve been for years. Also, words not found in dictionary are acceptable. Not sure they care to maintain the app anymore.

I am finding that in the last 2 weeks persons are playing the game with me and at same time asking

No one seem to be playing. It’s very slow.

No interference

Great game! No ads, no glitzy unnecessary animation, no “bonus this” and “bonus that” just a clean game with good players. The owner is responsive to problems and suggestions.

Good but needs bug fixes

I have been playing this hame for years but I have noticed one annoying bug... When you are playing with your letters, sometimes you find a good word to use for your next turn. When your turn comes the app occasionally swaps out your letters and you end up losing a couple that you had and gaining a couple that you did not originally have. It's like you have swapped them yourself, but you haven't! Yesterday I had a 7-letter word ready to go, using a blank tile, only to find that the blank mysteriously disappeared when my turn came! Very annoying!!!
Also the dictionary needs updating as words like "vape" not yet allowed.
