its a shame you cant give negative stars! ads in the middle of games. sometimes 3 or more seperate ads with multi click to close the ad and return to game. AVOID!!
★★★★ sound force 6/21/2026 v2.28.0
I have the right to play alone this game 🎯🎯🎯 doesn't give me that option. c-ya
★★★★ Tim Mills 6/18/2026
invasive app. Advert opens Google play
★★★★ sheila ryder 6/18/2026 v2.28.0
fed up with the scrabble app taking over my phone i cant get rid of it!
★★★★ coziFPV 6/15/2026 v2.28.0
ads all the time and you can only subscribe and not actually buy the game
★★★★ Michael Harris 6/15/2026 v2.28.0
Rubbish - You are forced to watch as many adverts ae playing the game- unless you want to pay £4 per month for no adverts
★★★★ Alan Lewnes 6/14/2026 v2.28.0
way way too many ads
★★★★ Paul Bonehill 6/13/2026
Ads !!! Never ending uninstall. ad after every move
★★★★ Helena Leigh 6/10/2026 v2.28.0
Used to like this app but now the ads are really annoying. Really long Adverts after every turn that you can't get rid of. Also when you're in adventure mode, the further you get the more likely you are to constantly get nothing but vowels so there is no way you can win. Will be uninstalling
★★★★ Belinda Walker 6/10/2026 v2.28.0
After every ad it quits and you have to reinitialise. I don't mind ads but I do mind having to restart the app every time.
★★★★ someguyin2022 6/9/2026 v2.27.1
There are far too many bots, even when playing a 'random opponent'. A dead giveaway is when an opponent has a real-life profile picture. The signs are so obvious. I was playing someone recently, they were taking their turns and they weren't even online, but other times they were.
★★★★ Monika Bloedorn 6/7/2026 v2.27.1
so many adds. hard to get out off the adds after your turn the advert pops up and can't close. have to shut down the app and open it again to get to your next turn. can someone recommend a different app with no adds? horrible !
★★★★ Alan Bates 6/6/2026
started off fine. but the ads became too much. so I've deleted it.
★★★★ Margaret 6/5/2026 v2.28.0
Impossible to play because there are so many very long ads :( I have stopped using it
★★★★ Naked Foxx 6/5/2026
Full of bots, cheaters and detestable players! You can see cheating by way of suddenly scoring very highly after rounds of low scoring. Absolutely disgusting. Force players to audit. Don't punish people resigning from games when the opposition is acting suspiciously. No player can consecutively score 30+ each round, some do and its obvious. There's solvers online. I study people in this game and see cheating.
★★★★ Badlander 6/4/2026 v2.27.1
To many ads. Get rid of them, would make the game more enjoyable.
★★★★ Serena B 6/3/2026
wont play tge scrabble game stuck in some stupid advert gzme
★★★★ Norman Elliott 6/2/2026
waste of time downloading it.
★★★★ Sean Walker 6/2/2026 v2.27.0
if you play any other levels after intermediate you're guaranteed to get absolutely screwed over by low value tiles. Pathetic!
★★★★ gerbil england 6/1/2026 v2.27.1
Initially a little unhappy with the noise, the invasive ads. BUT the real kicker: the bot uses obscure foreign words some in arabic, but I cannot use ARAB or EID. Ridiculous.
★★★★ Louis Savy 6/1/2026 v2.27.0
seems to need WiFi at all times. and 30£ a year is way to much. shane
★★★★ Ian Macqueen 5/31/2026 v2.27.0
Not played it as I object to being tied into FB. otherwise I was looking forward to it
★★★★ brett hetherington 5/30/2026 v2.27.1
more adverts than playing a BS
★★★★ Andrew Anderson 5/26/2026 v2.27.0
no option to force fofeit, inviting and condoning blstent and deluberate unsportsmanship 80% of games playdrs just refuse to take turn, there is a sole option to nudge but not force forfeit. anytime i play a bigh score word oppo ent just ghosts and has no penalty for doing so. do not recommend for high skill players looking for a challenge as games will never end
★★★★ Phil Matcham 5/25/2026 v2.27.0
I know you have have to have ads, but there are ads across the top permanently and then, 1st game, 1st word then straight away full screen ad. then ads every few words..Come on! ...I have a word...uninstall
★★★★ Mary Peacock 5/25/2026 v2.27.0
Its not a good version of the game. The bot gets the higher value letters. ive Just played again, the game doesn't load up properly, it was my turn I put letter down but the letters weren't replaced. No good. You should try playing it. Rubbish.
★★★★ Marcin Fabis 5/22/2026 v2.26.1
Do not instal. Asvertising every few seconds.
★★★★ Matthew 5/21/2026
games wants your Facebook details or you can't save gameplay. thats data mining. and I don't have Facebook so pointless app.
★★★★★ Richard Leader 6/24/2026 v2.27.1
full of too many bs slang words and Americanisms
★★★★★ Danielle Hopkins 6/24/2026 v2.28.0
FAR To many adverts. Starts off ok to get you hooked and then the adverts become relentless. Impossible to play a game with countless long ads. Deleted as super frustrating.
★★★★★ PAUL GOONER 6/23/2026 v2.28.0
one of the best apps. However it's getting spoiled by too many American scammers. Added to that the continuous adverts.
★★★★★ Catherine Travis 6/23/2026 v2.28.0
going to delete as ads are after every turn
★★★★★ Richard Comaish 6/21/2026
l play this game because a friend prefers it to Words with Friends, but it's quite inferior because, when l enter a word, it focuses in on that section of the board, even tho l'm not yet sure it's the best word available, and it's tricky to come back out again.
★★★★★ Ein004 6/20/2026 v2.27.1
the legendary lex in the game is weird as hell like 3 times placed 7 letter words just to get ahead of me? how lucky is this bot? then give me "random" tiles with all vowels in it like it really makes sense.
★★★★★ T lewis 6/17/2026 v2.28.0
Adverts are continously interrupting game. Totally ruins your concentration and game enjoyment. I understand there will be adverts but its every other move.
★★★★★ Rob W 6/16/2026 v2.28.0
A nice, gimmick free, straightforward Scrabble game...made unplayable by infuriatingly lengthy adverts after EVERY turn. Shame.
★★★★★ Cath Losh 6/15/2026
used to love playing this game.The ads every few seconds are annoying and recently I can't seem to skip the ads so I've had to delete it.
★★★★★ John Mackin 6/14/2026 v2.28.0
loved this game in the beginning. now it's bombarding me with adverts after every single word I enter. each advert has to be closed 3 times. it's infuriating. I have uninstalled. I'll find a knock off version instead!
★★★★★ Leanne Walpole 6/13/2026 v2.28.0
The amount of ads is ridiculous
★★★★★ Kate Hughes 6/12/2026 v2.28.0
when playing the bot, some of the words are questionable!
★★★★★ Alan Jenney 6/9/2026 v2.27.1
The pleasant pastel shades and calm animations in SCRABBLE Mobile make this an excellent game that is now horribly spoiled by noisy, inappropriate, dodgy, unskippable adverts. A terrible shame compared to when it was first released and it was five stars. I play my turn and quit as quickly as possible as I am driven away rather than pay.
★★★★★ constantine de goguel 6/4/2026 v2.27.1
stuck on an ad, and can't get back to the game.
★★★★★ julie d 6/3/2026 v2.27.1
I have been enjoying this game but ads seemed to have increased lately, frequency and length.
★★★★★ Mendania, Precious Alekzah C. ZARA 6/3/2026
used to be so good and my fav but now I had to uninstall because of the amount of ads. at first it was bearable, but then, ads would pop up after every move I make.
★★★★★ Sue Miller-Jones 6/3/2026 v2.27.1
The advertisements are really spoiling the game. So frustrated with them 😠 that I don't want to use this app. Shame. It's a good game otherwise.
★★★★★ Anastasija Salajeva 5/30/2026 v2.27.1
i loved this game, but the ad update ruins the game. Most bots are locked behind a premium subscription, alongside match reviews which were previously free. I can understand maybe an ad at the start and end of a match, but every 2 turns? 1 if you're unlucky? All the joy of this app has been sucked dry.
★★★★★ Steven Leonard 5/30/2026 v2.27.0
Good game without the ads on Premium. Unfortunately I struggle to find matches/ people who respond to game invites.
★★★★★ K E B 5/24/2026 v2.27.0
Started ok then had to uninstall. The adverts become crazy. one go then one long advert. You have to figure out how to get past the adverts, it's pathetic. I would buy the game but I won't pay a monthly subscription. Don't bother.
