    The game's stability is a significant issue, with frequent bugs causing freezes, incorrect winner announcements, and login difficulties. While some users report occasional minor glitches and improved online playability, the overall experience is marred by persistent bugs and unstable performance.

    • “Very buggy, awful UI. It happens too often that the wrong player is announced as the winner and gets the most points.”
    • “Three games in a row, the app freezes at the end or in the middle of the game.”
    • “Was loving this game but it's so buggy and they never do anything about the bugs. When it makes it look like you're unreliable, they won't fix your score, and their games keep bugging and not allowing you to play.”

    • “Not optimized for touch screen at all.”
