SCRABBLE

It's a really fun game and organized very well with great features and a knowledgeable A.I.--extremely fun... that is... if you can actually play it. Ads pop up before you start a game, after, during, and one constantly runs on bottom draining battery and CPU. Ads are also required to play, which means no internet = no play (even for solo games). Unfortunately, there is no other single-player alternative on the Play Store.

Easy game. Should be an option to immediately block players. some players cheat. While others send inapropiate messages. Muting chat isn't enough should be able to block ending both games with out effecting stats. I have had up to 12 games open each rack consisted of either all vowels or all of the same constanant. Seems all the higher players with a better Eli rating get better letter distribution. I only keep playing because of the true dictionary. Ease give option to block players immediately.

There are sometimes ads that can't be skipped and I have even had 3 of those play in between a turn. It completely spoils the game. Why would they have ads that make people not play it? That will lose advertisers eventually and it completely ruins the game itself. Would really like to see that corrected or offer a pay option to remove the ads. Fix this! Ads crash the game after every turn!

SOME OF YOUR ADS WILL NOT CLEAR AND LET ME BACK INTO THE GAME UNLESS I TURN MY TABLET COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. CHECK YOUR DAMN ADS BEFORE YOU USE THEM! POTENTIAL USERS:. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR DISCLAIMER THAT THIS IS FOR AN "OLDER VERSION". THEY SAY THAT AFTER A MINOR UPDATE.

I can no longer ignore the ads. I understand why developers employ them, and with Apple iOS, I was able to purchase an ad-free version of the game, but Android users are not given this choice. I would happily pay to upgrade to an ad-free experience. Ads placed after EACH turn, sometimes DURING the turn, sometimes video ads with loud volume...just unacceptable. Please give loyal players options so that we can once again enjoy the game we grew up loving. I think a purchase option is a very reasonable request.

Love scrabble, and the ability to have it in your pocket is great also playing against the computer is fun and quick. The adds didn't bother me at first but now they freeze and I have to close the app and restart it to be able to continue play. Every add is doing this now. This sucks and its making me hate the companys that are on the freezing adds. I think that's the opposite of that they wanted.

The game plays fine. The fact that there is no easy way to turn off the ads (even by paying) is not only lame, but the ads themselves sometimes freeze the program and no one seems to be doing anything to fix it. It's also difficult to connect to friends, since you cannot do it through the game itself. I play because I like scrabble better than words w friends, but needs a ton of improvement.

Addictive but with lots of ads for an already wealthy company. I would b happy to pay for a "no ad" version But there is none! When the ads pop up, I can press the back button & they r gone instantly. I finally got use it which is why i upgraded my review to a 4. I still dislike the board ZOOMING after every play on my mobile. I prefer to see the full board all the time which can b very helpful. Also all words r not included. Gaelic & cajun r n any American dictionary except Hasbro's! Ur an old co. with an old dictionary. If we must deal with ur ads at least update ur dictionary. Thanks

Allow me to pay for the app and take away the adds. I don't like the adds. I paid for the app. Why don't I have more options? I'd pay a lot more for a better experience. What does it cost? This Is my favorite game. I'll pay! ... I went from two stars to one. No one reads these. How much do you want? $50? Throw me a number!

The fact that there is no info on how to turn ads off is brutal. No where in the game does it tell you how to turn them off. Found online that the only way to turn them off is to purchase coins... well that doesn't work either. The coins have no other purpose in the game whatsoever which is stupid. So DO NOT BUY COINS EVER!!! You will just be giving your money away for nothing. Ads will still be there and coins cannot be spent on anything else.

The game is fun bc I like Scrabble, but I'm not sure if it's worth keeping. It uses more of my battery than any other game I play on my phone. After 10 minutes with no other apps running, my phone was hot and my battery dropped by 14%. Also, I don't mind ads bc it keeps the game "free," but they're too frequent on this app.

EA really needs to offer a way to purchase an ad free version. The ads that they have cause the app to freeze up, plus they are just annoying. Forcing you to use Facebook is kind of a bummer too, oddly the option of using their own platform is a fail.

The game cheats so much that it is pointless to play. Almost every single word it plays is either a word in another language (e.g. Cinq) or just completely made up. Last night it played "ope." it actually got 20 points for the word(s) because the P and the E both lined up on the x axis with the letters E and F so that on that axis it made two other "words," which were "ef" and "pe" respectively. The higher you turn up the difficulty the more it cheats. Useless.

Love the game. Loads of fun and challenging. Two areas for improvement though. Give option for purchasing ads free play or decrease the ads. An ad after every turn makes the game less enjoyable. Second, make it possible to end a game against a random opponent who takes hours or days to complete a match without forfeiting points.

The game takes forever to register my moves or freezes up daily. Very frustrating. Please fix the bugs. UPDATE: Doing a lot better, thanks for the fixes. Update2: Much better with each new fix. UPDATE: Game freezes on ads. Won't let me return to my game! UPDATE: Continues to freeze up with ads. I have to uninstall and reinstall it, which fixes it for a short time, then it freezes again. Very frustrating.

Ads at top & bottom of board, some of which are not silent. Therefore, I recommend turning off Sound in Settings, as these can be startling. Often unable to play due to error message: "Unable to connect to server, despite active Wi-Fi connection. This is usually fixed by shutdown & restart, or an uninstall of app and reinstall (if you do this, your ongoing games and stats reappear.) Overall, very enjoyable. Play everyday and usually have 10 games going simultaneously. Great for expanding vocabulary. Smart is Smart! Enjoy!

Love playing the game. But recently, ads have been added that can only be escaped by getting out of the game and getting back in. Beyond annoying. These ads have ruined the game. For instance, S Marketing Institute; Cinemark Movie Club - just two that freeze the game.

Overall enjoyable...but computer seems to only be programmed for words and not strategic play Ie: will always open up chance for opponent to access triple word score which is something i vigorously avoid. In other words, It does not play defense. Also the Expert computer does not always make the best move. It once took 8 pts when it could have had 30pts with the same letters.

Your ads are blocking the review of play also you cannot remove ads only if you turn the app off and on again which lengthens time of play in other words get rid of or get rid of long ads... also there is no way to communicate with Developers on the mobile app platform some sort of short cut needed but the game is fantastic minus the ads

The ads are intrusive and lock up the game repeatedly. The ads intermittently have sound, so I cannot play in public. Love the game, but may uninstall it. I don't mind ads at all, but in this application, they are wildly unpleasant. New version is worse than the first, although glad the music is gone.

My wife and I played this for a while and it became unplayable because of ads "freezing" the app. We uninstalled it. We reinstalled the app and have been enjoying it for a few weeks - it is now doing the same as before. Mid-game an ad starts and it freezes the app - very frustrating! When it works - 5 stars. Now - 0 stars. Please fix it!! Thanks.

EA is pays no attention at all to the game playing experience. Looking up words is clumsy and counterintuitive. Chat feature has the sophistication of a 1996 PC. Yet they continue to refine the ad delivery process to make sure it is as invasive as can be. The cherry on the cake of the this pile of junk? It interrupts game play asking me to review it. Even though I have. Multiple times.

Loved the game but too many add and one ad will not close so l wasn't able to go back to the game. If I left the ad up for a few hours or overnight I could get back mamake couple of plays then same thing again.

Well.... you idiots did it again. I downloaded the game again to give it another chance as you suggested. Last time it was a virus control ad that was interrupted my game. Now it's a video ad with models on the runway. Every time that ad pops up and I click on the bottom to leave the ad it kicks me out of the game. This time the ad did it 3 times in a row. It's like "Either you see our full ad or you don't play the game!!!" How stupid of you to have these annoying ads purposely interrupting our game play. Time to uninstall this game AGAIN!!!

This game used to be fun wayy back before ads took over free apps. The ads in this are OBNOXIOUS, they play after every single turn, and that isn't even the worst part--the get stuck and force you to close the app and restart it just to complete your game. This app is garbage, Scrabble fans.

Too many ads but that is expected as this is free and develops have to make money. The problem is some of the ads freezes the app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but no help. I have to restart my phone every time it happens. Happens at least once a game. Looking for a new scrabble app.

Two moves in, it displayed an ad that would not time out and go away. I waited a minute or two. I even tapped the ad's link, came back to Scrabble, and still just saw the ad I could not dismiss. No, I'm not going to force quit every couple moves to work around ad bugs. It was a very fun two moves. One star per move.

I'd pay to get rid of the annoying ads! Certain ads lock up the game and it has to be shut down, then restarted. Doesn't anyone test these things? Love Scrabble but this app is a real pain!

Love Scrabble, not liking all the ads! I'd be happier with less ads. Does not make me want to buy what these businesses have to offer. If the ads were more random I think it would make a difference. As far as the game I've enjoyed playing it.

With latest updates, ads get "stuck" and I can't exit them. The only way I can get them to go away is to completely restart my phone. And it's the least relevant most poorly targeted ada that get stuck-- like one for a public golf course in a city 1400 miles away from me. No, I'm not playing golf in Minneapolis, and no, I don't appreciate your ad crashing my game and my phone.

Hangs up on the ads. Let's face it, the ads are annoying. I would be happy to pay to get rid off the ads if it were possible. BUT the app has recently started hanging up when it goes to display the bothersome ads. We have the worst of all worlds. The user (me) is ticked because I need to restart the app, and can't use the teacher feature. The advertiser ---should--- be ticked because the app hangs up before the ad (which they presumably paid for) shows up.

Scrabble is my favorite game but every freaking play you are subjected to an ad and sometimes the stupid ad gets stuck and won't go back to the game. Way to suck the fun out of it EA games. I'm ready to uninstall the whole damn game.

Had to uninstall The ads were unbearably irritating. Many you can't wait and skip its just stays on the screen even after you've tried clicking the ad. Makes me force quit. Absolutely awful and unnecessary

Love the game. Even got my 70 year old parents loving to play it but too many ads. Got to where you can't skip some of the ads. My parents deleted the game and I'm considering it. It's irritating when you have to keep closing out of the game to get rid of an ad that you can't just skip. Fix the problem or keep losing players.

I love the game... Hate all the ads. Now there are a few ads that you can't "X" out of. I have to exit the game and then start it back up. Personally I get flustered when I get those and honestly I would not buy those items... I want to play the game not watch advertising. I really don't think an ad after every move I make is necessary.

Game play is reasonably good. Ads are okay except when they have loud unexpected audio. Also there is one ad in particular that it gets stuck on, I have to quit the app and reopen to get past it. (Hadeed-Mercer)

I love playing scrabble. Don't even mind the ads. But a recent new ad from alldoc jams up the game. I am unable to get out of the ad or go back to game. It locks in place. Please review this and correct the settings or remove this advertiser. Cannot play with this ad popping up.

I love playing scrabble online. However in the last couple of months the ads that pop up do not allow me to continue with the game unless I restart my tablet. It now takes a long time to play a game with all the restarts.

I really like the game but the ads are a little much. It's especially frustrating because quite a few of the ads get stuck and I end up having to close the app and come back to my game to continue.

I get that ads are required to keep this game free.. but you need to work on a close ad button for all your ads. It's a nuisance to close out of the game each time. Edit: I can't ignore the ads that freeze up anymore. I love this game, but I might have to switch over to words with friends if the ad issue doesn't get resolved.
