I am a huge Scrabble fan but I just deleted it from my iPhone. Words with Friends is faster, cheaper, and most importantly - I can play multiplayer against my friends. This game is from the same guys who made Chess with Friends, which is another great app.

Really good and cheap

Great looking.

I never recieved the activation email, so they had to activate it manually for me. I have tried everything to get multiplayer working but all I get is "can't find user" messages. Fix this and I will update my review.

The basics - the game play works well. Play is basic and slick, nice animation, good graphics, it works.

This game is doing a lot of things right, especially considering that it's free. It really is a competent Scrabble challenger, and thanks to its nice presentation - my personal favorite. One thing that I really wish this game had (that scrabble does) was a little balloon that tells you how much your word will be worth before you make your move. I know you can count it yourself, but i've always thought that that was a nice touch.

This app is crack. It's turn-based Scrabble and it's amazing. I can hardly get through an hour at work without checking for moves at least twice. Email notifications are good, and I hear push notifications are on the way shortly, in which case I'll have to quit my job and possibly check into rehab.

It took several hours for my user ID to actually become active, but since then everything has gone smoothly. This is way better than the official scrabble game.

Would like to be able to play with more than just one more person at a time. Would love to have at least 4 people in one game.

This is my second all time favorite app next to Chess with Friends... Kudos guys :)

Great app. Needs push notifications. Needs to keep stats/records. Leaderboards are needed.

Me & my mom tried playen it and when she put a word it said sending.... So update and ull get good review from good ol' rich ty

Absolutely loved it. Simple, fun, and multiplayer. Graphics are clean and look wonderful. I only had this app for about 15 minutes before purchasing the full version. Thanks for the great app, Newtoy!

What is different between 99cent version and free?

This is a great, free game. It has super graphics, it's easy to use, and quickly finds an online player to challenge. Would love to see push, a dictionary, and the crash problem fixed. The ads are annoying but expected for a free app. I would actually give it five stars if it didn't crash so much. Thanks!

Dont listen to those people who say its bad. This is a fun app. Get chess with friends too.

Great game from newtoy. I'm a big fan. I love and have been playing Chess With Friends from day one. This current game has a lot of potential. The current ad placement is probably the most obnoxious I've seen from a free app. It definitely ruins the gameplay. But I appreciate that you've given us a 99 cent option to make the pain go away. (You should do the same for the chess app). I, for one, have not experienced any crashes like other users have mentioned. I have a 3GS, so maybe that's why. One thing missing from both this app and the chess app is push notification. Push is a MUST.

This is definately a great app. I would give this 5 stars but theres one annoying thing, you can not delete your games. This wasnt a problem at first but now i have like 15 games that are over just wasting space. Its quite annoying please fix it! :)

The app itself is really fun. It gives you all the functionality of a basic word-tile board game. But an ad after every turn is too much. Especially because it takes up your entire screen. Might have to spring for the pay version. Hopefully it's not as bad. Chess with friends is fun too. Ads not as intrusive there. Hope that stays the case.

This is a very good game, but there are some issues with it. Currently, I'm unable to play it because whenever I try to open it, it crashs. I've deleted it, reinstalled it, reset my phone more than once, yet it still crashs. Also you can't delete games and you can only resign from a game when it's your turn. I've got games on my list 3 days old that have been abandoned by who I was playing.

It is a great game.

I love that you finally have this to rival scrabble. I lobe the chess app u have. The ads are fine to me and it hasn't crashed that I've seen. The only thing I would suggest is the ability to be able to move around my letters when it's not my turn. Sometimes it's a while before the next guy makes his move (Random Opponent) and I'd like to be able to set myself up for my next turn. Besides that it's perfect and if you add that I'll update to 5 stars. Thanks again for making this game!!!

The game itself is fun! The problem is that it crashes and the advertisements are the worst I have ever seen in an app. So first the ads. After EVERY turn you must view a full screen ad and click two times to close it. This is absurd and honestly I get the feeling that they made them as obtrusive as possible just to make a sale for the paid version! I know I'm tempted! The crashing is due to memory consumption. Launching the game with 50mb free and after a while it crashes and I noticed I had 6mb free! There is either a memory leak or I have a strong suspicion that the advertisements are the cause to the memory usage, slow down and eventual crashing. I played the game for about an hour straight and switched between 5-10 games frequently in this time period. Since after each move a large ad loads, I believe that the caching or loading of these ads is what is causing all these problems including my annoyance. I am torn because I hate the ads and want the full version, but I also feel like that would be "giving into" the devs making such a horrible decision on the usage of advertisements. Just sad to see such a great game be brought down by advertisements. Sad sad sad

Don't install! This app crashed my iPhone, then I had to restore it! Major bugs!

Horrible ads!!!!

1: mine doesn't crash, even with a last generation and generally mangled phone. 2: they know they need Push notification, but I'll say it again anyway. 3: yes, the adds are truly anoying, but that is how you pay for such an awesome resourse. 4: this and Chess with Friends both need an informal skill rating system for random opponents. 5: newtoy: please please give us a 4+ player option! 6: newtoy: please please rip off Risk or Axis and Allies next!

However, I sure hope the game is not the reason for the rise in spam that I've been getting.

This app crashes especially after you play a word. Really annoying. Also the text notification feature stopped working. It worked fine now not at all. I haven't received a text in over a week. Both with chess with friends and this game. What the heck newtoy?

This game would easily get 5 stars if I was able to receive my texts. Not sure what happened, but I haven't received any notice on either program made by NewToy for over a week. I think my chess friends and word friends are getting frustrated on how long it takes me to make the next move. Otherwise, this game rocks. Another job well done! Would like to see it connect online as well in the future. For both games

will give 5 stars when push notifications are available!!! we need push push push! :)

In fact, the ads are so blatantly, distastefully and inelegantly integrated that I am soured to the point of (1) refusing to buy the paid version as a slap back, and (2) immediately closing the program after each of my moves is registered so as to render the ads useless. I am a huge, avid fan of Chess With Friends and its wonderful implementation of such a classic game. There are ads in that game, yes, but they are seamless. With WWF, however, I was shocked to see the means by which they chose to spread the advertisers' messages. It genuinely takea away from NewToy's product. I could see if they were trying to annoy you enough to buy the paid app, but they get paid for ads as well, so why not have the consumer actually enjoy the experience at the same time? For example, if ads were displayed when the app was opened, that would be fine. But after each move? Ridiculous. Enough on the ads. As for what would otherwise be a four-star game, here are the differences that would make it a 5-star affair (again, assuming "better' ads). 1. Shake to shuffle letters. 2. Reorganize letters when not your turn. 3. Fix email updates to display correct app. If you are avid in both WWF and CWF, you will notice that notifications do not differentiate between apps. Sometimes you will forget and have to open both apps to figure out where a move is waiting. 4. The ideal situation would be an app called "Games With Friends" that would serve as an aggregate for all your ongoing games in the NewToy universe. (Interestingly, the game lists within each app are already headed "Games With Friends".) Other than the size of the app, which is irrelevant if you have two separate apps installed anyway, I can't see any reason why this would not work. How awesome would it be if all movse for all games appeared in one place? 5. A rating system, or at least a W/L/D record. Accounts are already kept. No reason this shouldn't exist. 6. Keeping account email addresses private. 7. I said I wouldn't say it in this list, but again, fix the stupid ads.

Really fun, but scrabble is the way to go. It takes to long to update and doesn't tell you the word point amount.

I love this game u got in touch with my grandma i havent seen in three years the only thing i dont like is that people can curse and say mean things to u in the chat zone but other than that i love this game i love to play the game with my friends u need to get this game now to who ever doesnt have it get it now

Really enjoy playing with my family and friends scattered around the world!

Fun fun

This is certainly a mind stimulation exercise that will fight Alzheimer's

Great game! Love it!

Love this game!

This is one of my best games on the IPhone. It is extremely addicting and is fun to compete with friends. I like the option to send you opponent a message like "you can't beat this word"! Or "Send me a word already"! The only problem I have with it is that there are no notifications. It would be extremely nice if there would be a type of "text message" that would appear telling you that your opponent just sent a word. Or, if notifications are impossible, than at least have a number by the apps picture to let the player know that it is there turn. Other than that, it is totally worth getting.

Fun fun fun

Love this game wish it worked better on facebook.
