SCRABBLE Premium App Reviews

Log in issues resolved.

Update: The app does not remember log in information. I have to log in every time I use the app despite checking the “Remember me” box. (Old): The origin log in issue has been resolved. Good customer support communication after asking for help online. Now you log in with EA account. But app still requires you to log in after a day. And despite a “remember me” check box, it does not remember me. Also there are too many notifications that are unrelated to game play. (Older):Cannot log in or access games. Games have disappeared. All attempts to log in have error message: "Incorrect email or password".

Cannot connect to server – please pics immediately

For two days I cannot access any of my games

Subversive

“Jihad” “Haj” and other Muslim words and places are allowed, while Christian words like “Christ” and “Jesus” are not. Biased slant in favor of words not English. The Official English version of Scrabble is not this. This version is subversive, intentionally barring American words like “hotdog.” Has anyone else noticed this bias, too? I still enjoy playing.

Okay...

Hello, everyone! I purchased SCRABBLE Premium with high hopes, but also reluctance at $7.99(if I remember correctly); but honestly, I was fairly disappointed and underwhelmed by this application. If SCRABBLE Premium wants to compete with a well-known SCRABBLE inspired application(which is unfortunately better at this point), the producers of this app should seriously step their game up. For instance, this game should have an actual dictionary and not something which says its a dictionary, but truly only tells you if the word you search for is, in fact, a word. That is the only SERIOUS thing this game is lacking, I think; but I do wish there would be some surprises in the updates to come. Maybe you all could add different game boards, avatars, or rewards of some sort. I only review and apps to offer advice on improvement!!! If this app is improved even slightly I believe if could surpass the dominance of its well known rival and reign "King of Word Games" as its popularity should afford.

Love it

I love this game on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Too many adds.

Position of recall button

Position of “recall” button is right next to “send” button. Causes a lot of accidental “plays” when you really want to hit “recall”.

Irritating!

Far too many bugs & irritations. Less ease of use, less fun. Game improved for a few days but now won’t work at all. Disappointing!

Logs out of Origin account all the time!

This app simply refuses to retain my Origin login information. That means I never get notifications for opponents’ moves and have to log in every other day to see if a move was made. In my opinion that makes this app unusable and therefore deserving of one star. Sad, because I really prefer the original Scrabble board to Words with Friends.

Love them game, cannot connect with friends on Origin.

I have an Origins account, as does my brother, but the app will not let me type in his name when I select ‘play with friends’. They keyboard will not pop up. How do I challenge him in scrabble?

Not very stable

I play on iPhone and iPad. It’s not uncommon for the game to load and be missing previously played letters on the board. To fix it I need to uninstall the app and reinstall it. Happens weekly. Pretty annoying. Otherwise a good game.

A bit ridiculous...

It’s a bit ridiculous that, every now and then, the app needs to be deleted and reinstalled in order to connect to Facebook. Other than that, it’s a great app.

New glitch since update

I used to be able to go from the game to the two word list without it resetting my board. Now I have to re-place my tiles every time I look at the two word list.

Love it, but ....

My first review is below. I had a chance to review again but only my old review popped up. Every other time I had a chance to review it said I hadn’t purchased the game. My friends and I had so much trouble with our games we’ve gone back to playing WWFriends. The game finally has let me log in again, but only the one with all the ads. I can’t get back to the other one. I love the game, but there’s just too many problems with the Scrabble app. The new update is OK & I do love playing the game with friends, my sister and my Niece. It seems to take two taps to play my word though. And seems a bit slow to load the game. Chat is still there if you sign in. That is such an important feature. Its fun to keep in touch with people wherever they are on the continent. However, too often, even if Ive signed in, I dont see my friends by name, just Guest#. Its no fun playing against a numbered guest! Otherwise I would have rated it 5 stars. Several years ago my sister was able to choose an icon to go with her name. Ive never found it but would like to be able to personalize my game as well. I am addicted to this game! Ive learned some new words from the Teacher (although I miss the faces!) and love the Shuffle feature as well. I upgraded right away so I can play without ads. They just slow down the fun. :)

Oversight - Lack of Bluetooth support

It seems like an oversight to me that you can’t play someone over Bluetooth or WiFi. My father isn’t on Facebook or any other social media platform. I’d like to be able to play him while we are in the same room - me on my iPhone, him on his iPad.

Nothing is simple

All I wanted was to play scrabble with my daughter. I paid for the premium app and tried to set it up on both of our phones. The setup process is so incredibly annoying... my daughter doesn’t use Facebook, so we had to create an account on Electronic Arts, with complex passwords and security questions (just to play scrabble). After all that it wouldn’t let me create an account for her because she is too young, even though the game is rated 4+. So after lying about her age (again, just to play scrabble with my daughter) I return to the game and have no way of connecting with her or finding her on the game. The find-friends window is empty and you can’t type in it. I can’t believe I paid $8 for this junk. Ridiculously over complicated kludge app. Don’t waste your money.

This app needs work

This app seems to keep having issues. Makes me delete the app then reinstall before it works, so i rarely use it. I want one that works consistently, so I use words with friends more

Corrupt

I hate this app. Something is seriously wrong with the tile draw. It’s not random. I notice similar letters and patterns across all the games I’m playing. I’ll have 10 game stretches where I’ll have very very few decent words/plays in the entire game while my opponents are just killing me. It’s super lame. And their customer service is terrible. Typical mega corporate apathy resulting in mediocrity.

Good app but

This was my favourite game app, until yesterday (Nov.15th) evening when it stopped letting me open it. What happened? Before yesterday, I would have rated it at 5+ stars.....

Update

Game is still not functioning. I still cannot search for my friends. Customer support still can’t comprehend the problem. I will delete game again.
