Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great game! No ads, no glitzy unnecessary animation, no bonus this and bonus that just a clean game with good players. The owner is responsive to problems and suggestions.
Its really too bad this app seems to have stagnated. Ive had the paid version for years and now we really only play it because of several friends we play around the world. Ive grown weary of the obvious cheaters, the rude players and functionally issues. Within the last week or so, we no longer see when its our turn to move even though notification settings are still set as theyve been for years. Also, words not found in dictionary are acceptable. Not sure they care to maintain the app anymore.
No one seem to be playing. Its very slow.
We are very disappointed in Jeff Cole. He has not responded to our emails about two serious problems. It has been 2-3 months. The website says 2021. Did he sell out to microsoft.
Too many valid words arent in the dictionary and there is no mechanism to have this corrected (e.g., boolean, estimand, etc.).
No one seem to be playing. Its very slow.
What do you do about a player that wont play on the board? They wont resign either? !! Need assistance! User: rleist19.
Could be a great alternative to the other word game, but notifications stopped working a long time ago – really unfortunate. We like that you can pay a little for no ads. The ad situation in the other word game is super annoying, and requires a monthly subscription to remove ads – no thank you. Please fix the notifications issue on this game, and it would be 5 stars for sure.
Ive been playing this game for over 6 yrs on both windows phone and iPhone. Im happy developer supports all platforms. We recently switched to iPhone and our game was waiting for us. Thanks for supporting app for more than six yrs.
Dictionary needs to be expanded, and scoring system is off. Also, we play on phone and iPad, phone is fine, but iPad holds old games on it that we cannot delete or play. Would like to get them cleared.
The rating system is defunct. If you email the creator he will never respond back. And the game is wreaking with cheaters. Don't bother. Also, the game wreaks of cheaters.
Unbelievable how people losing will start cursing. Please install TURN OFF CHAT button.
When we switched from a Windows Phone to an iPhone, we were so glad this app would still be available to us. Clean UI, all the features a Scrabble app should have, and in the rare case where you find an issue, you can easily report it, and it's fixed quickly.
Add additional user stats, e.g.: 1. Highest ranked game single point move 2. Highest non-ranked game single point move 3. Highest ranked game win (completed or resigned) 4. Highest non-ranked game win (completed or resigned).
Love the game but it's crashing after the recent update.
Love the game, but after downloading latest version it is stuck in landscape mode and board is using 1/4 of the screen, making it unuseable on our iPad.
Better than Words with Friends! Wish we could play from our computer.
To quiet we love this game, make some sounds.
Who chooses what slang, abbreviations, and all out non-English dictionary words that are acceptable in this game?? While we admit, we enjoy the game, it is ridiculous, the "illegal" terms that are acceptable. If "ZEN" isn't allowed, nor American English abbreviations, but medical abbreviations and British slang and abbreviations are, then something is seriously wrong with the structure of this game.
We enjoy this game just as much as the other popular game. We play with our brother who lives 250 miles away.
People are more interested in points than playing. Some players sign in under many different names (all sounding similar) and play themselves to advance to the top, while refusing to play with others. Management could install fail safes against this, but apparently don't care about the people that buy the game in good faith…as long as they have their $$. We recommend you save your money and play scrabble at another site. Why doesn't our review show up?! Another unfair practice? Aren't reviews supposed to show good and bad aspects of a game.
We enjoy this game however, the game no longer indicates when an opponent has played. Our question is can it be fixed.
Super fast, love the ranking system. Thanks for the best Scrabble-type game for the phone.
The rating system is brilliant. Can you perhaps make the "resign" prompt less prominent. We would hate to touch it inadvertantly.
Please make an iPad version. Thanks.
We are addicted to this app very fun and great competitors on here. Our only problem is some players on here take advantage of the five day rule it took us a month to finish playing two different game lower the days please.
We love this app it's super addicting and super fun.
Love this app! It's a great time blower! We are so addicted to it! We have 4 games going right now.
Really enjoying the game. Maybe the tiles could be a bit smaller and thebauto magnifier should be optional. Otherwise good fun.
WordsByPost is great fun and totally addictive. Play- Ing with friends and family is a way to stay in touch and to chat with them as well.
Until recently we had to keep reinstalling,game would cut off 2/3times a day. Finally it was fixed. We were about to give up.
Love game and meeting interesting people, some in far away places. It is more than just playing a machine.
We play this game both on our Win 7 phone and IPad. . We would pay extra for the ability for team play.
Tons of fun love the way this game ranks you.
We play this game constantly. It's competitive and keeps our brain working.
Much better features than w w f ! Very addictive tho.
Love this app! We enjoy it more than Words with Friends. Love the ranked games.
We love being able to look up what unusual words mean when playing the game!!! Fun to learn and play concurrently! It's also fun playing ranked games.
It's not even funny how much better this is than Scrabble or WwF. Cross platform too.
