After really enjoying playing solo, I talked my wife into getting this app so we could play against each other. Rather than the engaging experience from the solo game, where I could watch every move my AI opponents would make, as they made them - multiplayer just pops up a plain text message “your opponent is making a move” and you wait, bored, until they finish. Thought it was going to be fun, instead it was dull. What a wasted opportunity.
Overall, I was stoked to have the implementation of expansion options, but…there are numerous crash bugs making it unplayable…70% of the time. Computer players lock up when trying to make a word. This has appeared with more cards on hand, not fewer. Computer players (smarter AI) have not made words, or have made suboptimal choices. The first is more problematic than the second. After watching them make ‘FA’ or ‘SH’, I question them missing ‘THE’ or SO’. Computer players lock up while buying letters. I appreciate being able to skip their turn, but that just gets the game moving. It does not solve underlying issues. Finally, similar to PAPERBACK VOL1., the double score adjacency bonus does not always work. Again, thanks for putting the work in. Some more tweaks will get it where it needs to be. Mike
There are so many things wrong with this app. GUI is awkwardly laid out. Some buttons are way smaller than they should be. Push notifications don’t work for online games. Some of the effects on cards like the “Make an adjacent card wild” don’t always work. There have also been a few very legitimate words that the game rejects. Glad I own the physical game and also glad I got the app for free.
The game is 5 stars in concept. Brilliant! Daily, the program freezes unpredictably on AI opponent “finding a word.” AI makes ridiculous fame card buying choices in coop mode, regardless of level of AI. If you set three AI to play against each other, an error occurs in every other game. Glitches are too everpresent for such a good game. I’ll revisit this rating if new versions fix things
I have created an account, but it will not run until I do something with a “confirmation” email message. Except that the message never arrives. Same problem for my friend; the problem is on their end. Further evidence of the publisher’s lack of programming skill: The message displayed when the app pretends to send the “confirmation” email is “password reset sent” (referring to an action button I did NOT press).
The game will freeze on buying phase for AI, or finding word. This takes you out so much it becomes annoying. You think for the amount of money they charge they could get a programmer to fix such a glitch. Otherwise it’s a great game. Please update and fix this.
Unable to start new PvP games on mobile. Please fix.
Great game. BUT since the update: New feature, typos, doesn’t show up on mobile and inviting players for games or starting new games with other players causes the app to hang. Please fix.
The AI still gets tripped up with “triple the score of an adjacent card.” The app just freezes. That’s a disappointing bug in an otherwise fun and challenging game.
