I used to play the app every day two years ago, and would always match up with people who speak the same language as me (English obviously). But now I’m always matching up with people from other countries. While I love trying to talk to them and sometimes I have good conversations, I used to only match up with people of the same country. I was going to rare this 4/5 stars because of that but I came to the realization that it’s because of fewer people using the app. So I understand, other than that 5/5 best board game app out there if you have internet access most of the time at least. Easy to under stand games, easy to understand rules, sleek interface, friend system, few ads and no pop up ads. Probably the best app out there and I’m going to pay to remove ads because they deserve the money for creating this masterpiece 👌

This app is almost perfect. The game interface is great and the app supports a pretty large amount of games. My favorites are Four-in-a-Row (I have almost 1,000 wins), Backgammon, and recently I’ve started playing Werewolf as well. It’s easy to use and navigate, family-friendly (sometimes TOO family-friendly (I’ll get to that in a moment). However, I have two problems with it. Not major ones but some things that I’d suggest looking into. 1) Only 3 games are allowed in the rooms (and yes I updated. It only lets me have 2 open now...). I accidentally clicked on a game of Euchre a few weeks ago and never actually played it. I assumed that I’d lose and the game would end. Unfortunately for me, that didn’t happen. The game still shows up there and reduces the amount of games I can play at once. There is no way to get rid of inactive games, either (unless it’s a 2-player game. I’m pretty sure the people who I started the Euchre with have uninstalled the app since they won’t respond to my pleads to finish the game so it will disappear. Please remove the game restriction for the social lounge and other lounges. 2) TOO censored. The censoring tool is pretty bad. It gets rid of all swear words but sometimes it censored words that aren’t bad - like Japan for example. It literally replaces “Japan” with “***.” I’d suggest trying to fix the censor system. It censors out way too many things that are not bad.

I love how, at first, the “censor words” option is on and you can turn it off, you’re not forced to be kid friendly but the kids or people who don’t like curse words keep it on. I prefer to turn it off bc I want to know what everyone is saying (I’m just weird like that). But when others have it on I notice they’re not even allowed to say “God” or “Japan” or something simple. One more issue is the profile picture censor thing. I love that it’s a thing now bc way too many guys had their gross ding dong hanging out and absolutely nobody wants to see an unwashed nasty penis right on their screen. So it’s fantastic that they started censoring that stuff but sometimes it’s ridiculous. It should be censored so that anything that’s gruesome or graphic that’s not a cartoon should be removed but the cartoons should be fine, because it’s not real so it doesn’t have the same effect on real gruesome pictures. I’m only talking about the blood and stuff, because anything that resembles a penis shouldn’t be on there (cartoon or not). So I’m only giving a two star review because I know this review system goes by a certain method and maybe you’ll listen to me if I offer to bring it up to a glowing 5 star review. If you fix the issues, I’ll change my stars to 5 bc other than the censoring issue, this app is fantastic and has changed for the better. I’ve been on here since 2018 maybe and they’ve definitely improved👍

don’t get me wrong plato USED to be a good app, but everyone i know gets banned for no reason and. you don’t even get a personal reply to see if you have been appealed instead plato then sends you to a reddit that hasn’t been updated in a year in order to check the status. you’ll get muted and banned for no reason or warning even if it’s your first day or returning back. if you type too fast you get marked as spam. if the mods don’t like you for personal reasons they can mute you at any point which luckily hasn’t happened to me but i’ve witnessed it first hand. the more mutes the longer it takes for you to send messages and the more likely you are to be permanently banned on top of never knowing how many times you were muted or banned the only reason they will tell you is you “broke community guidelines” with no other explanation. it’s as if they don’t actually care about keeping the app fun and fair to all. i know so many people who have the same experience who are willing to leave plato because they’re user support and general order about things isn’t the way it should be. everyone is saying that plato isn’t as good as it used to be and that it’s dying and it’s very true and this is why. Go into any public chat and ask anyone and they will tell you the exact same issues. i used to say i would recommend plato to everyone but not anymore. not at all.
