  11. [R31] WePlay 1/5 · GB Misleading: This app is misleading people and it has nothing to do with what it has been sponsored by.
  12. [R43] WePlay 1/5 · GB Absolute waste of time 🤬: This game is so bad! And it takes so long to load! On top of that, it’s not even my language. Such a bad copy of the real thing.|do not download |THIS IS SUCH A WASTE OF TIME!
  13. [R3] WePlay 3/5 · GB Good: Nice game but there’s gold to play and it’s bad the gold
  14. [R35] WePlay 1/5 · GB Fraud and Deception, Beware ‼️: Beware of this game; it will defraud you and deduct amounts without your knowledge because they save your bank cards without your permission (people's information has been exposed and they have been harmed in reality through their photos, real names, and even home addresses). It should be removed from the App Store due to poor game management and their fraud. · translated
  15. [R45] WePlay 1/5 · GB Worst game: Worst game ever they use your card and charge you without your permission it doesn’t deserve even 1 Star
  16. [R52] Plato 5/5 · US Great!🤩🤩🤩: Yrdtfufigihogftfycftyfggibhubibh no ads
  17. [R7] WePlay 1/5 · GB kamal dom6tan: Millet bir birini yalamaya giriyor tinder farkı kalmamış. Aw evlatlarının atası olan kamala sövünce zorlarına gitmiş adminin
  18. [R9] WePlay 3/5 · GB Intensified Magic: People are ill-mannered, even with reports. I hope you make the in-game complaint review process more precise. · translated
  19. [R24] WePlay 5/5 · GB 5 stars: The game is really fun somtimes until they curse and start a battle with cursin like what………. But all the games are really fun u can sing show ur talent!
  20. [R25] WePlay 1/5 · GB Easy to Cheat: The problem is that cheating is too easy, and if you report it, there's no action 👎👎👎👎 · translated
  21. [R19] WePlay 1/5 · GB No English Option: I want to play the game with my friends but it does not have an English language option - Content is appearing in arabic and it isn’t possible to change.
  22. [R92] Plato 5/5 · US The best multiplayer game: This is so much fun! There are no ads. There is no hassle. It is fast and works flawless. There’s so many good games to choose from. I get to play with family and my husband. We all love it so much. Especially the Rummy. Thank you so much for making such an amazing game.
  23. [R96] Plato 4/5 · US Mostly great! Few tweaks: Free, no ad gaming is awesome. Oftentimes the status of whose turn it is in turn based games is inaccurate, and causes unintentional forfeits. Literati should have a dark mode!! The match monster update where a player gets to pick the stage AND get extra health is silly.
  24. [R1] WePlay 1/5 · GB We play: One star because it is way too dangerous.
  25. [R29] WePlay 1/5 · GB Bad game: Got bullyed
  26. [R32] WePlay 4/5 · GB Bestest game: I am reducing one star because I see many people creating nuisance in voice room and the drawing game. If there is an option to automatically delete their account owing to their actions, would be great feature.
  27. [R59] Plato 3/5 · US Issue with Hit and Bear Off Logic in Backgammon: I wanted to bring to your attention a potential issue in the game logic regarding standard Backgammon rules. According to official Backgammon rules, the actions “Hit” (hitting an opponent’s blot) and “Bear Off” (removing a checker from the board) are independent moves. A single die roll cannot be used to both hit an opponent’s checker and bear off
  28. [R60] Plato 1/5 · US Bad: When you playing any game that involves dice the results are not random but follows a poor design script where dice numbers keep repeating over and over like in a script. It is designed to let you win a few times and then lose many times. Would not recommend this terrible designed of an app. Thumbs down
  29. [R65] Plato 3/5 · US Could be better: Automatically picks winners of games, so no point in playing to win.
  30. [R69] Plato 1/5 · US Unfair chances: Randomness games such as ludo and match monsters feel extremely unfair and not random at all
