Good game, nice inclusion with a subscription. Nice to play this style of game with my wife without any ads or nags. But it's very glitchy and buggy, and while I'm sure they're working hard to improve it, the latest update won't even open at all any more, just crashes immediately every single time. So it *would* be great if it was playable. At all.

It's fine, but it only does what the other apps have been doing for years, but with a worse interface. The letters are awkward to move around and place, and in order to change the letter for the blank tile, you have to move the tile to another location and then back to your word. The one nice thing is there are no added bonuses, rewards, or side-games that are ubiquitous in similar apps.

The game is quite enjoyable. I like that you can play with friends, strangers, or computer opponents as you wish. However, the app itself is incredibly unstable. It crashes constantly and can become quite frustrating to deal with. Ironically, the link provided to give feedback doesn't work, so I am left to voice my complaints here. Overall, it's very fun and I don't think I'll stop playing any time soon. But the app itself still has a lot of work left before I'll give it more than 2 stars. Edited

Love the game but app lags/is buggy. It notifies when your opponent plays, but when you click on the notification it doesn't update the board with their play if the game is already open. You have to exit the game and go back in. It's also currently not letting me play a move that it says is valid (green). Tried changing the word, but every time it says "Something Went Wrong, Action Could Not Be Completed"

i thought the rules said if i havent made a move yet, i can cancel the match and it wont count as a loss. however, when i view new challenges, if i decide that the other player has started too strong for me to catch up i cant actually cancel. even if i havent played yet, there is only a resign option
