Much better, but PLEASE let me choose my opponent by rating
Kkvicknair
Update 12/24/17: I didn’t really notice any changes with the latest update. Most things are working smoothly. But, please PLEASE add a way to choose a random opponent by their rating. I play a lot of random opponent games and I really hate getting matched with players with really low ratings. Most of the time a low rating means they are getting force-forfeited all the time because they start a game and then never finish it. Update 10/27/17: Happy to see the developers giving this app the attention it needs. Almost everything is working as it should now. Still waiting for the ability to choose an opponent by rating when starting a random game. Update 10/3/17: Login problem fixed. Chat bar fixed. Notifications gone again. C’mon people... please just get this right one time and then leave it alone. Update 9/24/17: Haven't been able to log in to Origin for 5 days. I keep getting invalid username/password errors. Can't even log in to EA to get help because of the password error. Update 9/8/17: Game notifications have been working consistently since the last update. Thank you. Chat bar still not working. Also, please bring back the ability to see a guest rating before joining a random game. Either that or bring back the option to choose an opponent within a certain rating range. Fix those two things and I'll give you the last 2 stars. Update 6/10/17: Well, notifications worked for about 2 weeks, then it quit again. Now my chat bar only shows a few characters while I'm typing, so I have to type without being able to see what I'm typing. I'm happy to see that they are working to fix the app, but so far the updates haven't helped. --------------------------------- Really don't like the swiping to switch games. I accidentally switch games all the time while trying to place a tile. Also, really hate the no more turns window that pops up (even after it has notified me that it is my turn). 5/19: Notifications no longer work. There is a little red 1 on the app icon all the time, whether it is my turn or not & I have to actually open the game to see if it is my turn. Frustrating. Also don't like that I can't see the chat once a game ends.

Love this game but have to delete and reinstall every couple of days now. Just stops working. Terrible pain. If I was not such a scrabble lover I would give up. Also absolutely abhor the upgrade? That makes the last word played by my opponent reappear and eliminate anything I may have had on the board each time I switch to the dictionary or exchange or chat. I see that many users have complained about this. Why on earth won’t you fix it??? It did not used to be like this and literally no one likes it. PLEASE UNDUE THAT SUPPOSED UPGRADE AND TRY TO STABILIZE THE GAME!!! Merry Christmas!
Don’t care to see the opponents last move

I liked when you could place your tiles and make changes without having the tiles removed and the last move displayed repeatedly.
Too Many Unrated Players

Do not buy this game. It's rigged. The games still has too many issues. You can't see you opponents rating before you make you first move. As a result, you could get stuck playing an unrated player which is very problematic and unfair. If you are rated 2100 or higher, there absolutely no benefit in playing someone rated below 1600. If you win, you gain no points in rating. But if you lose, you could lose as much as 16 points. I've retired from playing this dumb game at 2150. There's no point in playing any more until this issue gets fixed.
Terrible bugs and sometimes useless
Scrabboholic
I wrote this review a year or so ago: “App used to be ok. Still ok on iPad. Useless on iPhone. As others have written, for about 2 months the app will not load. I've deleted and reinstalled 4 times. Each time it will work once or twice and then fail. C'mon, EA, it can't be that hard to fix. It worked ok for years.” It has continued to be very inconsistent. It now usually loads, but today it wouldn’t load on either the iPhone or iPad. Another frequent and annoying bug is that when an existing game reloads, it sometimes does not display all of the previously played tiles on the board, or will show a rack from one or even three or four turns earlier, which requires me to do a full close of the app (double-click home and swipe up) and reopen, at which point the rack will be correct and all tiles will be displayed. It’s potentially a five-star app, but EA continues to have persistent and unnecessary bugs. But the game itself is, of course, great, so I continue to plug along.
Fun but too many logins
HeavyGunsII
The game is just what you’d expect for a mobile app of scrabble. I love playing it but have stopped as it requires you to log back into it every time you try to play. Way too much trouble for a PAID app. Going back to freeware versions of the word game. I WILL NOT BUY FROM EA AGAIN.
NOT working at all after update

First today my profile was gone, my games gone, and I could not log in. That’s when I checked to see if an update had occurred. Second, I started a couple new games, and random players played a word, but my own starter word does not show. The second word is off to the side not touching the center. And no I cannot make a play because no word showing on the center star. Frustrating. Meanwhile, I’m getting notifications that I’m being nudged in the games under my profile that I can’t access. My brother has the same problem. Ridiculous. Please fix this quickly.
Good for now

6/8/17: Running awesome. Getting notifications and all, but I didn't update until I talked to people making sure all bugs were gone. Please run good for at least a few months. Thank you 7/13/17: Lost notifications 12/28/17 I think all the bugs are gone. Although I did buy this game for 99 cents 8 years ago it has come a long way
