Never have I been more disappointed to see such an amazing game fall so hard. I mean, the constant ads, the constant pop ups, the sluggish feel of the app as a whole, ALL the different events and promos, it's all too much. It should have remained a simple game, but instead it has been filled with what feels like bloat and malware. Not to mention its arbitrary rules, my last game I tied with my opponent and the game decided to change our scores, so they won. I'm done.

I was already fed up with the ads on Words with Friends - the monthly price to remove them is ridiculous, the equivalent of a Netflix subscription. Now I'm plagued by a single website. Almost every time I play one of my games, I'm taken to a random website called Masscation, and this is in addition to the ads. It's clearly a fault, I've cleared my cache several times but no joy, and I've contacted support with no reply after a week. Ridiculous. I'm going to give up playing if it isn't fixed.

No I don't want this many ads that are so intrusive they slow everything down and ruin the whole experience. No I don't want to play an NPC and even when this feature is turned off it doesn't turn it off and multiple NPCs are permanently on my screen. I don't want the rubbish rewards I just want to play the game. Let me buy it for a one off payment and be ad free. It is a fun game if you take all the junk above out. But in it's current state it's annoying at best.
