Playing just fine for days and winning. Then the game starting making the games be tied when I know I won. tried clearing the cache, logging out/ in and updating the NYT games app to see if it would show the correct score, nothing worked. I uninstalled/ reinstalled the game and lost all my game history against the computer. Frustrating!! It kept the history of the 2 non real players though. I had so many wins against (Hard) computer. Now its ALL GONE!!! FIX THE APP! I put in bug report as well.

Very buggy and slow on my phone, which runs everything else just fine. Crashes often, seems to restart itself from scratch every time you navigate away and come back, and has a glitch where you end up with eight letters on your rack. Also feels a little half–baked; for example, when you double tap to zoom, it simply zooms to the center of the board, rather than to the location you tapped.

The UI is buggy. Rearranging tiles seldom works even when you try very carefully. I think the drop targets must be too small or something. Often letters and scores won't update after they change, etc. Has the potential to be a decent, Scrabble-like game. Others like wordfeud are a bit more polished even though they have a slightly different set of rules / vocabulary.
