Scrabble® GO - New Word Gam‪e‬ 9+

I absolutely LOVE this game, but have been noticing a problem lately... I will play in the tournaments and many times get into the top 3 winning spots right as the tournament ends, but then after it “calculates” the scores it doesn’t show in my inbox that I even won anything 😩 What’s up with that??

As for the scammers that everyone knows about, my friend and I have decided to start having a little fun ourselves, and I highly encourage everyone playing to get as creative as possible. We like to give these obvious scammers a bunch of bogus info and even make ourselves sound a bit cray-cray. For instance I responded to one scammer and said I was 100 years old, he was STILL interested when I started talking about how I didn’t have anyone to leave all my money to in my will 😈
Sometimes when asked my marital status I like to respond poetically and say things like “I have many husbands from many lands”, or “My husbands are plenty but few in between”. Or if you really want to freak them out a bit, tell them you’ve already put their photo in the heart locket you’re wearing and have just arrived in their city and want to meet up ASAP because you can feel it in your very soul that you were meant to be together forever. So romantic.

Too many ads, too many flashing lights, dumbing down the entire experience, this “app” has it all. Do you want to be treated like you are in elementary school? Do you want correct words to not count due to a vaguely defined dictionary? Do you want the app to crash every five seconds? Love ads but hate actually playing? Then this app is for you! All the ads you could ever want, accompanied by all of the seizure inducing lights and effects you know you want. Oh, actually want to spare yourself the ads? Only $7.99/month and still will not spare you misery that I would not wish on my worst enemy. Avoid this app at all costs! You would come out better buying Scrabble and playing at home. Hell, it would be better to buy multiple Scrabble boards and play yourself at the same time! At least you do not have to worry about cheaters and bots. Oh, did I not mention that? Oh yes! Would you like to meet single guys from all around the world? This app is also for you! Terribly disguised “players” constantly getting Bingos all over the place while I am stuck with all vowels. There is a leveling system...in Scrabble. I should have known this app was a joke as soon as I saw the nauseating home page! The tiles you can earn (just stick with the basic tiles) are stupid, the ticket cap for arena is far too low, and you expect me to part with my money during a pandemic with this hack job of an app?! Screw this app and screw these computer bots! 🤬

15 minutes. That’s all it took. 15 minutes before I realized some underage gamer had destroyed what was one of the best games ever invented - so I deleted it. I’m not a prude. I’m not technically challenged. I see younger generations struggling every day with attention span issues. I get it. But not everybody needs bells and whistles and jewels and God knows what else is imbedded in the Scrabble Go app to be entertained. If it’s about money then charge me more for the app, but to destroy a simple quality intellectual game like Scrabble and turn it into a moronic video game is asinine. You clearly could have included an option for people to choose the classic version - which, if it is available, I was unable, well unwilling, to wade through the nonsense to find it. That would have met everybody’s needs. We’re getting far enough along in the technology craze that not every computer geek or technology buff or game player is a 15 year old kid with the attention span of a goldfish. And the need to pander to said demographic while ignoring others may be at the detriment of your company. Consider there are actually older people -with money - who enjoy technology, that you may want to address in your product development and marketing efforts. If you’re designing a new game - no problem. But to destroy such a classic for no apparent reason is just ridiculous. I’m only giving one star because I have to in order to send my review.
