All of the words I try to enter aren't valid. Its impossible to play
Ad Trap. Ads popping up after every word on multiplayer and almost every word against bots. The ads 90% of the time make you play a game trial, auto open store if you touch nothing,they dont have close tabs so when close app and reload, you'll have an ad waiting after the first word you write. option for no ads is near £5 a month. Best advice is to avoid this game, but if you can deal with the ad traps then its scrabble, as it says on the tin.
Terrible! sooo many ads, I'm deleting this app.
The permissions needed are way too much! why do you need to connect to my Google Drive??? Massive over reach!
The dictionary used in this game is ridiculous, it doesn't let you use some legit words then accepts weird ones.
I'd pay money for this game to get rid of ads, so would my mum who I play wordfeud with every night. But I'm not paying an ongoing subscription (twice) so we can play this instead.
It was fine. Now it's GONE!
life is to short waiting for an advert every move deleted this app
players (or bots) do not complete games. players use inappropriately sexualised words. adverts are abundant every time one places a word. if this is genuinely Scrabble's official online offering, it should be ashamed. The developer's response to my review suggested I contact customer service: no contact info provided, of course, so not possible to do so. I have deleted this game.
annoying
to many adverts during game bad enough end of the game uninstalling shame
A long boring ad after 15 seconds ! sorry I'm out.
Forced ads ruin it 👎🏻 It was an enjoyable game for a day until the app Forces ads that destroy the game play, making the game totally unplayable and deleted Edit: 🤣 you comment and want me to contact another department to sort your app out? you are the ones who put the intrusive adverts constantly on your game for profit, if you can't accept the reality of this greed then there's not much hope for you I'm afraid, deleted
As guest I played my first word then got a 30 second ad. A few words later I got another ad. Next move was uninstall. Love playing scrabble and it's variants but the ads!!
Since I played last week, the ads have gone off the scale making the game unplayable! Multiple ads lasting over a minute for game apps that it's impossible to get out of and you just end up going round in circles before force closing the Scrabble app altogether and reopening it. This doesn't make me want to subscribe to remove ads - I just won't play anymore. Reduce the ads to how they were before and I'll come back.
If you enjoy playing against bots and oootjyx to try forming more than a 3 letter word you may like this game. Oh and adverts then this game is for you.
as expected, Scrabble, but very limited i and way too expensive to be otherwise, monthly subscription, no thanks
typical using american words.
long adverts interrupt game every 2 moves
To many ads.
unplayable, adverts after every word entry, worst site I've ever known for it
apparently jew isnt a word. ive never known such flakery in my life. how sad.
Ads after every turn,ridiculous.
great until you get to the very last bot, who has all the opportunities and decent letters, making him unbeatable. Very demotivating!
way too many advert breaks
rubbish constant interruptions
Two minute ads after every move...
Too many long ads! especially during certain times, you play a word then an ad pops up...so off putting
enjoyed playing the free version. however, the amount of ads got too much to bare. almost one ad ever turn which took the fun out of it. I get the app needs to make money but had to delete due to the sheer amount of ads. shame
too many adverts
I understand the reason for adverts but they are relentless in this game. Never in any game I've played for free are they this bad. Otherwise it would be a 4 star.
I love this game thank you, but! it needs a better mix of letters. Too many vowels, and not a good mixture of consonants. Does 'R' exist?? There does not appear have the right balance like in scrabble!
Used to be good. But too many adverts. After every move is too much
Too many adverts which last too long.
it works, but adverts are way too excessive, literally getting an annoying video advert after every single move. the only alternative for ads is an ongoing subscription rather than a one off fee. I'd happily pay once off for a good experience, but I'm not subscribing to this.
I find it ridiculous I have to have a fb account to play this game.
It's fine, but after you've played once or twice you get absolutely peppered with ads. I'd be prepared to pay a one off fee, but I'm fed up with subscription models for all these things. After only a year you'll have paid over £30 for this. Just ridiculous.
on adventure game why do I always go 2nd. very frustrating
