### 5/5 — Pirate Scrabble

*2020-08-20, version 1.6.4*

This game is a great way to stay in touch with family and friends.  It gives the option to play through or pause when life calls you away.  I am thoroughly enjoying the game from a standpoint of knowledge and challenge.

### 2/5 — Word Pirates

*2018-11-20, version 1.6.3*

Not too pleased. Slow moving. Don't see how to cancel player when takes too long to play.

### 1/5 — Add covers ability to play

*2018-06-11, version 1.6.3*

Downloaded the game interested to try but when I finished writing my word I was unable to submit because the add was in the way and there was no way of exiting out of it.

### 1/5 — Update

*2017-08-09, version 1.6.3*

If you haven't already done the newest corona update DON'T!! If you previously purchased the non ad version you will be sorry you did this update! The ads are horrible

### 3/5 — Fun but really off dictionary

*2016-05-23, version 1.5.3*

It does not recognize some very popular words. It gets really bad in Spanish especially.

### 3/5 — Needs a little fixing

*2016-04-20, version 1.5.3*

Sometimes I lose games where I am behind in points but it is the opponent's turn and they time-out.  Also, I'd like for the game to show what the opponent's last move was when the match ends on their turn.

### 3/5 — It's ok....

*2015-09-13, version 1.5.3*

It's Great and then it lets my girlfriend and I played together in Spanish. However, the interface is wonky at times; for example, one has to try numerous times to place the letter in the correct location often.  Additionally, one has to finish watching the video or ad before the number indicating how many plays your opponents have made disappears (icon badge).

### 5/5 — Da Portogallo

*2015-09-02, version 1.5.3*

Molto piacevole il gioco

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2014-10-17, version 1.5.3*

Enjoy it!

### 5/5 — Fabulous!

*2014-05-29, version 1.5.2*

The graphics and sounds are really amazing. 
You feel as if you are right there in the bar with the pirates.
