Nicely done app; used for every Scrabble game – Adnoto Review

A well-designed, fun-to-use, quality app. Been using it few years now. Four stars because (1) it does a great job keeping score, (2) is fairly easy and quick to use (doesn't interrupt flow of gameplay), and (3) has many useful features a few of which I regularly use, like (a) can restart a game with the same people, (b) can score challenges and left-over tiles at the end of the game, (c) tracks how many tiles are still in the bag, and (d) tracks the past 25 games, which are fun to revisit. It has several more thoughtful and useful features but I use them rarely if ever but others might. To get the fifth star: (1) Add smart placement like Mikepa suggested, even if only to eliminate overlapping tiles. (2) When locating a word on the board, in addition to tap-and-place, support press-and-hold dragging with tactile clicks while moving square to square. (3) IMO, Adnoto would benefit from a few usability improvements. Since we don't play Scrabble regularly, I forget how to do certain things like (a) picking who goes first, which is on a different screen than the one that starts a new game, (b) when the game ends how to score leftover tiles, and (c) even starting a new game is a little awkward (it's in Options ?‍♀️). My dumb suggestion: Instead of (or in addition to) being in the Players or Options screens, it seems like there is plenty of space to put often used things like this in the Game screen, but in a smart way that maintains the clean layout of the Game screen.
