1★The rewards system is annoying. The only worthwhile rewards are swaps and coins to buy swaps. All the other junk is useless so you don't feel like you've been rewarded. The ads have gotten longer and feel more predatory. They take you to the Play store against your will and then when you try to back out of the Play store it restarts the whole app! I don't spend much time playing anymore because it's frustrating.

1★Too many blasted ads, one after every move I make in this game. It is too much, too distracting, too annoying and too frustrating to make this truly an enjoyable experience. I don't mind watching ads because I realize the game developers need a source of revenue by showing ads. I can see showing an ad maybe after 5 or more moves, but not after EVERY single move. It really does take away the fun of playing a great game like Scrabble with real players, people you know, like your Facebook friends.

1★The ads are an abomination and make the game completely unplayable. I could see having banner advertisements, maybe even an ad every 5 turns or so, but after every single word I play? Forget about it. Disgusting money grab from what used to be a nostalgic and mentally stimulating game. It's now mind numbing with the sheer amount of ads. I almost forgot the best part. You can purchase no ads .... for 7 days. For a month. It's a recurring subscription to have no ads. MONEY HUNGRY DEVS.

1★Update 3 Feb 2025: The game groups players instead of by last play. So you're stuck playing the same person while longevity with others disappears. Leave it based on last played.****** The most recent update has ruined the game. Blank screens for 30 seconds. The game is constantly going to a game that wasn't selected. The notifications don't disappear when you view them. This has gone from something great to something that is burdensome. I used to use this game to escape.

2★way too many REPETITIVE ads, ESPECIALLY "LEVIS". Every time it appears, the ap freezes, and I am forced to close and reopen to continue playing. but after so many times, I don't rejoin the game. it is annoying, and the rewards are not worthy of all the time one would dedicate to the game. it depends on your loyalty to your word friends. if the ads weren't so annoying, it would be great!
