Its hard trying to find people to play all the time lol, so if anyone else is having this problem and wants to play us, our player id is #RKvuHEd.

Love the game, especially because it allows us to practice and even learn more of our language. But, it would be nice to find more people to play with! Add us: oB4KVGm.
Im rating this app five stars because it is absolutely amazing. However, Im extremely bummed that we cannot find a single person to play. The search always tells us player does not exist but Id be sitting next to our sister looking at her player ID and typing it in exact. Someone random found us and its been fun playing but ourselves and all of our family members are struggling wishing searching for players to connect with. If anyone has any tips on how to fix this, please comment ! Mahalo.
This game is awesome! Mahalo. Just the only thing we wish we could find people to play instead of waiting for someone to add us.
Our user name is puuwai add us.
Lealea. Eia nae, in he lumi kamailio e walaau ai… Ma laila ka lanakila.
Welina mai, some requests for the next patch: – Allow for search by username – Fix invite link (not able to copy) – Add chat function – Waiting Room matchups, or some other method to challenge random, active players Mahalo for developing and releasing this! The future looks bright for ka lelo makuahine.
Id love to play but dont think we have anyone to play with. We play Words with Friends a lot, and often use the random matchup feature, or play against the computer. Also, linking with facebook helps us find matches. It would be great to see these features on Lehulehu.
We are really enjoying this app. However there are a couple of things on our wishlist. Maybe something to consider in the next upgrade. It would be awesome to have a chat feature so we can comment to our opponent on his words, or just smack talk! HAHAHA. The other thing is…well, first of all, we are assuming that HP = hua palapala, and H = hualelo. So if thats the case, then maybe the four spaces surrounding the inital star space should be HP and not H. Our initial word got 4 points when we thought it should have gotten double the points according to Scrabble rules. Then our opponents word spanned two of the H spaces and ended up getting 36 points on a 9 point word. The math is not adding up. Then finally, we placed a 10 point tile on a 3HP space. The word was h going horizontally. The was on a 3HP, and the H was used with another existing going vertically. If we were playing Scrabble rules, the H would have been counted twice (2pts x 2 = 4 pts), then the verticle (10pts) plus the triple horizonal (30pts) for a total of 44 pts. However we were only awarded 12 points which is the face value of the horizonal word h. Again the math is not lining up. Not a big deal…its just a game. Just thought you should know in case that was not your intention. But again, mahalo for this app! Good fun.
Lealea kia pani! Ak nae, aole hiki ke ike we ka ikepili o n hoa paio no laila ke noi kekahi iau, pono au e noii ma kau ig/fb we hiki ke ike O wai ia kanaka. Aohe kuhi kekahi, aole au maopopo he aha ka h us ka hp. A e like us ko kekahi manao, maikai loa in hiki ke walaau us n hoa ak nae, lealea n ka pani ana.
We love the idea of this game! Im still working on our proficiency in Hawaiian, but we love word games so we like that we can combine the two on this app! However, would it be possible to add another feature where it would allow us to play a game with a random opponent? Our only problem right now is that we can only play games with people that we have their username so that limits us a lot. We havent actually played a game yet as Ive asked two of our Hawaiian-speaking friends to download it, but they havent yet and we dont know if they actually will, in which case Id probably have to delete the app :/.
Wishing we had someone to play with. Maybe include a random player option to choose from? If anyone wants to add us our username is #TwGfm-B.
Hui, poloke we ku APP. Ua hoo mua o kau hoa e hoomaka, e ia nae, no ka imi ana o k kekahi lelo hn, aole hiki ke loaa. E aho oukou e noii hou we ia APP no ka hemahema. Mahalo.
