App keeps crashing

The game is great, but every so often, it just stops working for online games.

Hardback is great!

Hardback faithfully represents the board game. I haven't played with any of the optional additional mechanics, but a few comments for the developers: 1. You can quit on your turn, and some times you'll get a different hand of cards. This seems like a remediable cheating angle 2. You *have* to quit fairly frequently, because the game will get into a state where it won't accept taps, which is annoying. 3. I'm not a huge fan of how easy it is to accidentally move letters in your word into your letters you're not using. This wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't need to drag things so much, but I'd prefer a swipe-down or something to single tap dismissing a letter 4. It would be really nice if the keyboard worked, so if I typed letters, they'd just move from my list of letters up to the word (and keyboard shortcuts for pressing your luck would be nice, too)

Multiplayer is broken

The game itself is enjoyable but as others have said the online multiplayer is unusable since I cannot add new friends on the new server. The developer has not yet responded to my support requests. I’d hold off on any purchase until this is resolved.

Fan of physical, OS version could use work

Online issues still continued. I am unsure to add new friends when my list is empty. I just lost all my friends and all my open games. Same with other people I know. Something is broken as I can't add them back now. The UI feels clunky especially async online play. Dev should model this more after the old Carcassonne game where players can see the board even if it isn't their turn. You should have a bar along the bottom that displays players score and ink counts. All buttons should be more defined and identifiable. Would be great to be able to zoom and pan around the board to see details of cards. Play a sound with the notification so we get a buzz. Would love to see this game realize its full potential.

Can’t log in or reset password

This has been going on for weeks now. It won’t accept my password and when I try to reset, the “reset password” button doesn’t work. I was really enjoying this game until this point but it was primarily a long-distance game for me. There’s no point without online access to my play friends.

Excellent, but………

Great game! Will certainly stretch your vocabulary to find the right word to get the extra 3 points you need to snatch victory in the last turn. A few suggestions that really really do need attention. 1. For a word game to include spelling errors in the labels/game instructions is just plain shoddy workmanship. Fix them! 2. Really need some form of statistics for keeping track of local scores - how many games played, won, lost, highest scores, champion words, etc at various levels. 3. Would vastly improve replay value if there was a leaderboard function. Notwithstanding the above, excellent game and highly recommended!

An incredible gem

This game is perfect and the app is perfect.

Should be lower

I really wanted to play this game with my wife and it looks like it could’ve been a really good game which is why I gave it four stars. Unfortunately I get an HTTP error when I try to connect to an online game. It looks like they don’t really support this anymore so I’m guessing I just got it for no reason. Too bad.

Can’t access so why did I pay for it?????

At some point it locks you out of the account, says incorrect password and if you try to reset it just gets stuck so there is no way to do so...so the whole reason I overplayed to play this game with friends and family long distance asynchronously is lost as I am locked out and are games are done. Disappointing

Loads of fun!

Great game! Loads of fun! I enjoy this one more than paperback... & I love paperback!
