  • The app is user-friendly and offers a variety of options for players of all skill levels, making it a valuable learning tool.

  • The chat function is broken, with many users unable to type or access the keyboard, leading to frustration and a diminished social experience.

    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the app has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the intrusive and unskippable ads that disrupt gameplay and diminish the overall experience. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free app, many express frustration over the frequency and aggressiveness of the advertisements, which often lead to connectivity issues and interruptions during play. Suggestions for improvement include offering a paid option to remove ads and redesigning the user experience to minimize disruption.

    • “Honestly, these ads are annoying and are ruining the experience when using this app.”
    • “What used to be a decent app has these days gone massively downhill with the ads (which are nearly impossible to get out of the way, requiring multiple skip steps and pingpongs to and from the app store) and overpriced in-game currency which you can get at regular prices via the website.”
    • “Unbelievably, sound in ads overrides do not disturb volume controls, making free app functionality useless in many settings, which violates ethical design and should violate both Android and Apple guidelines.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the app is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, slow performance, and persistent glitches that disrupt gameplay. Many have noted an increase in ads and an outdated warning system for unresponsive users, contributing to a frustrating experience. Overall, the app is described as buggy and unreliable, especially after years of stable operation.

    • “It freezes, is slow, and still continues the archaic 180 seconds wait before warning an unresponsive user, which is super annoying.”
    • “Freezes and gets a glitch causing people to leave but appear to still be in their seat, the so-called 'stuck' player.”
    • “After years of bug-free operation, the app freezes usually within moments of logging in.”
