Prepare 4 Storms

This game was so fun until last update. Sure, there were ads before, but now they are popping up every 2 plays. ridiculous and extremely distracting throwing you off your game and concentration. Also, the games appear fixed now. it's so bad. numerous games in a row where you get 1 vowel the entire game. I'm so disappointed 😞

Hi.. the frequency of ads shouldn't have changed. Did you have any ads before? Please mail support and we can take a look. The actually game play (tile distribution etc) hasn't changed at all.. if you're getting lots of vowels it's just a bad luck of the draw. Mail us here support@upwords-app.com

The app is a good mind stretcher even on the lowest level. I have noticed that the computer characters use words not.found in the dictionary and abbreviations, also "words" like MM and HHM just. To name a few. Also the computer players always seem to have the necessary letters to good words in difficult situations. The higher the level, the more often that happens.

Only complaint is that the rules feel slightly different from the board game, and I'd like two additional data: how many tiles my opponent has left on their rail, and an overview of points throughout the game when it is over. My partner and I play this so much. We have many games going at once. I paid for the full version simply because the developers deserve to have some money for it.
