User Reviews for Scrabble® GO - New Word Game

Worst ever!

Update to my original review: Have now LEFT this Scrabble Go behind! Piece of CRAP! I am a WWF fan now. You are losing people right and left. That 4.6 star rating this game has? FALSE! Fake news! There are thousands of reviews here that are all saying the exact same thing and give this game a 1 star so the rating YOU have given this game is a lie just to lure people in! And IF you were REALLY LISTENING to all of our reviews you would have turned this back into the original Scrabble. So long, folks. Holding onto the original Scrabble til they push me off. This is the worst scrabble version ever! The home page is too “busy”. Way way too much stuff on home page. Complicated. Too much stuff going on. Strangers are on my home page. I do NOT want strangers having access to my page or games!! Ever! I play one person in scrabble. That’s all I want to see! Trying to do anything in settings is like a scavenger hunt. You have to EARN points to be able to do anything except play words. You took away our “Teacher”. Took away our “Dictionary”. Good grief, if there was a zero or negative star rating that’s exactly what I’d give this game! Give us back or at least give us a CHOICE to play the original scrabble!! And one more thing.....if you think we are going to PAY for features that were part of the original Scrabble then you are totally insane!

Why even call it Scrabble. What an abomination.

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.

Improved but still highly flawed

First, creeps do NOT use the chat function in this app to track you, for the simple reason that everyone knows that the chat function doesn't work at all, so... I guess that's a positive? There are plenty of legit annoyances to complain about: for instance, there's the "multiplayer mode", which for anyone who thinks about it for more than five seconds, doesn't make any sense. What are the chances that more than two players - total strangers, in nearly every case - will be available to play at the same time? Absolutely zero. Finally, something is very wrong with the dictionary. The word "rabbited" means "ran away". It does NOT mean "rabbit"! There are other examples, with which I won't trouble you, but some of the dictionary entries don't even sound like proper English... like they were written by a 3-year-old or something. And now, Scopely has added a new horror: the FREAKING CARD COLLECTIONS. As if the thousands of tile variants weren’t enough to completely turn off lovers of the core Scrabble game. AAAGGGHHH! CONCENTRATE ON IMPROVING THE BASIC GAME PLAY, AND FORGET ALL THIS MEANINGLESS FRIPPERY! We all know that Scopely doesn't give a flying you-know-what about the user experience, evidenced by the fact that there is no means of requesting tech support... so it's almost a given that nobody will even bother to read this, but... in case they do...

Horrible

I would rate the new Scrabble Go app zero stars, or even negative stars if available. EA/Hasbro had perfected the Scrabble app in recent years, and I’m sad to see it go on 6/1/20. I’m hopeful that in some way it will be resurrected in its perfect present form, which is clearly what all Scrabble app players want after reading many reviews. The new Scrabble Go is a complete failure. It has been dumbed down for kids, contains useless noises and other distractions, is difficult to use, and is visibly too small. Scrabble aficionados have no interest in this garbage. I have seen Scopely’s response to many critical reviews stating ‘this is a work in progress’. Well, Scopely, from reading the real reviews (not the multitude of fake positive reviews herein), you should glean that the Scrabble app in its present form is what we want: a game free from useless distractions, noises, and gifts; one with a built-in dictionary; one with a scoring mechanism so we can compete with players at our skill level; one that looks like the actual physical Scrabble board (same colors and tiles); and one that is easy to use. Scopely has taken away a gem, and I would rather stare at a blank wall than play the new Scrabble Go app. And I suspect that current Scrabble app players would be willing to pay for access to the app in its present form - I know I would. PLEASE OFFER THE CURRENT SCRABBLE GAME IN ITS PRESENT FORM FOR A REASONABLE FEE.

Too many bugs and glitches

And that’s just a few of the problems. I have been reporting bugs and glitches for over six months and they just get worse. They’ve taken away all of the enjoyable perks with chests that give you gems to further your play, they took away the ability to buy tickets with gems and now you have to pay for them except they do offer one ticket free if you watch an ad but most of the time lately the offer disappears or freezes before you can collect the ticket, when you try to extend your play on the tournaments games half the time it glitches so you lose the ability to increase your score and place higher in the tournaments, the ads you have to watch are full of gambling game offers and sometimes pornographic with the pictures that are incorporated, if you get a bingo you’re supposed to get a bonus chest and lately it’s just been disappearing the minute I click on the button so there’s no bonus after all, the algorithm in the Scrabble competition is lopsided in it’s delivery of letters so half the time my opponent is getting bingo after bingo and I’m getting all vowels or all consonants to work with so it’s not realistically comparable with real life Scrabble odds. It’s too bad, this was such an enjoyable game at first and now they’ve made so many changes that the whole system glitches and freezes and they don’t seem to be able to work out the bugs.

Creeps use this platform to solicit people

Game play is great. The chat feature is nice too- it’s fun to chat with your opponent HOWEVER, there are many, many, many people who use this platform to get information from people, for ill purposes no doubt. Their questions and information are ALL very similar and they ultimately all ask for personal information to be able to “talk” somewhere else. Their profile pictures are always of good looking middle aged white guys (stock google pics), they claim to be from the states but speak in broken-ish English- they say hi after the first move and want to know where you live, if you’re married, how many kids you have, your hobbies, and your email address. They ask all that within the first five seconds it seems. My poor elderly aunt was duped by one of them and she ended up giving him a lot of information. It was a mess to get him to stop harassing her. I don’t know if it’s possible to make the chat safer, or what, but i hope the developers take the reported users seriously and make it harder for them to con people. I block and report those users but before I do, I string them along with bogus answers and made- up email addresses which confuses and annoys them. Mission accomplished.

Awful for all of these reasons…

1) My experience with the game so far indicates that most to all of the players I’ve played against are actually bots. It has made for very poor play. 2) About 40% of the time I use this app it not only freezes, it freezes my entire device locking my screen and preventing me from doing anything for several seconds, including closing the app or turning my device off. 2) There are so many distractions getting in the way of actually playing a game on this app it has become incredibly annoying to use. As much as I enjoy Scrabble I can barely stand playing the game on account of how irritating it is to use this app. 3) EVERY TIME I wish to play (increasingly little) I am prompted to log in through Facebook. The app designers so clearly prefer that option to “anonymous” play they first make the “anonymous” selection more challenging to see (approximately 50% of the size of the Facebook option above it, and made so faint as to be practically invisible) AND even include a cartoon character which frowns upon one having made the choice to play anonymously. Let me make a selection and change my decision later should I ever choose to do so. Each time I open the app is yet one more unpleasant experience. It’s enough already. My second day with this app might already be my last.

Problems During Prize Giving

I picked this app up because on FB, there was a lull with making the updates. I noticed with this app on my tablet, there isn’t a problem when rejecting the prize to go to the next game and to avoid the ads. But when you decide to accept the prize, all of a sudden there is a pop up declaring that something is wrong with the system. Ok, but what is the alternative? Will I get a chance later? Is there a cancellation prize for the inconvenience? Nope. You have to forfeit the prize. Isn’t it funny, nothing is wrong with the system when the same ads come on over and over and over again between games?To the creators, if you are interested in making the game less annoying: when playing the mini word games within (like the trophy game and bayou), the player should have a choice whether to use all of his/her tickets or not. The player shouldn’t be forced to spend his/her coins if there is a ticket left. Did you really design the game to see if you could control one’s spending? I did notice that when I used my tickets and had 101 coins to start off, at the end of playing 4 games and spending 5 coins per continuance, I saw I had 72 coins left. How? That would mean 29 coins were spent. That not even divisible of 5. That would mean I played 5 games and your game stole an extra 4 coins. Wow!

STILL NOT FOR THE SERIOUS PLAYER

They completely wrecked the game for adult players. Now in the latest version there a new "Scrabble Classic" mode which is to supposedly improve playability. It is an improvement that gives me a glimmer of hope. Maybe if they keep trying... but the developers just don’t “get it" and they may never at this rate. The game board is still too small. Even in Scrabble Classic mode the game still throws endless annoying bonus points and treasure chests at you with a series of bothersome screens that you cannot escape from. ELO rankings are still missing. Supposedly there is a choice of dictionaries now. However I couldn’t find them. I would gladly pay again for this game (one time pmt) if only they could remove all distracting annoyances and provide the essential features.In ADDITION to ruining the online game the developers are also deceiving the public. First, as others have pointed out, the thousands and thousands of 5 star ratings with no reviews are clearly bogus. Apple should crack down on this and not let them game the system like this. Second, the "random opponents" feature is clearly AI opponents and not real people as is clearly implied. Just notice how all the generic names are in the same format and isn’t it funny how my "opponent" is always available to play, even at 1am in the morning.

Sketchy Policies

It’s a fun game with good graphics and in game incentives, and it definitely sharpened my scrabble skill by playing it for a few days, but the privacy policy of the company is rather sketchy. Of course, it’s for the more social applications of this app and you “don’t have to” but there are in-game rewards locked off by requesting you give them your entire contact library or make a facebook account in order to access them. The information usage by the company is vague and threatening, and I don’t want these people to have my address. Though I feel I should point out there’s not as many creeps and scammers as other reviews say, to give them credit. I assume all these info-sucking policies would scare off anyone looking to cause trouble, but I also feel that this invasion of privacy in the name of security is highly upsetting. It’s a decent app and worth your time if you’re willing to sell your soul and personal information for a few in game credits. Please think critically before agreeing to anything this app offers you, and if you’re paranoid like me absolutely do not get it. Too many times have companies overstepped privacy boundaries in greed. I don’t trust stuff like this.
