Skillz Games - Official App 17+

Definitely fun, wagering makes the games more exciting and the amount of different games makes it impossible to get repetitive. Only complaint would be some of the games are a little easy to exploit but it’s even easier just to avoid them.

Skillz has recently been removing player’s accounts and banning them from ever playing Skillz again stating they had broken one of their rules; yet when the players respond inquiring about which rule they broke, Skillz “support” will not respond to them. Also, Skillz says anyone can volunteer to be a chat moderator. But what they do not tell you is, they have qualifications on who they allow to be chat moderators. When I volunteered, I got a response saying they reviewed my account & have decided to “decline” me being a chat moderator as I don’t meet their qualifications. Yet, when I asked what those qualifications are, they tell me that they do not disclose that information and threatened to delete my account if I kept volunteering (I only volunteered twice). Skillz is sketchy; play for coins only, because if you play for money & you’re legitimately a good player who wins a lot, they WILL accuse you of cheating and ban you from ever playing Skillz games and even threaten to peruse legal action against you for money laundering if you try & make another Skillz account after being banned. They’ll probably ban me for this review. 🤦‍♀️

There is one really cool feature about this app: top replay (for some of their more popular apps). Other than that, it was mostly disappointing. There are low res images throughout the UI, so not enjoyable to look at. There is no where to go and get player generated match codes for games that don’t have a chat (which I only bring up because they have restricted the limited apps that do have the chat feature to only sharing match codes for their game alone). Also, they still don’t list all the Skillz games. Their link to discover new games takes you out of the app to their website that only shows maybe 30% of the games available. So we can no longer mention in chat other games we’re playing, and then Skillz doesn’t even show all the games on their site. What’s even worse, their website still showcases games that are no longer available. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I expected so much more from this app.
