Word Scramble™

Since my iPhone upgrade, the sound is off on the game. The volume will get softer and the get louder again. It seems like the volume controller get stuck - left on the screen so that when you are swiping it thinks you want to change the volume. I usually have to pause the play, go to settings, turn the volume button off then on again to reset it. Is this a bug? Annoying but I haven’t needed to uninstall and then reinstall the game. Still love the game though. Sometimes it crashes when playing - usually when It is in blitz mode or the beginning of marathon mode. It is a good game, but this up-grade 2 days ago, has the screen with a big gap on the top. (If you turn off the wi-fi, I don’t get ads.) I hope I won’t have to uninstall and reinstall the game to get it to look right. That usually resets all your trophies and scores to 0.

Been playing Scramble for awhile and have enjoyed the game. Unfortunately, I've always been limited to when I could play because after every other round or so, a loud advertisement started even though I have Sound turned off in preferences. I understand the need for advertising but the sound problem has gotten out of hand. As of today the loud ads start immediately at the end of every game played even before the score comes up. I'd pay a reasonable price for a non-ad version (NOT a subscription!!) or don't mind advertising that does not make noise or cut off the game. As it stands, I will need to delete Scramble if this is not fixed soon. Advertising is fine - uninvited audio and interrupting game play with ads definitely not. Looking forward to a fix soon. Will change to 4-5 stars when it works again. UPDATE: Dropped to 1 star because in addition to the problems cited, after nearly a week, they've still not responded to an email to their support. Am starting to wonder if it's some kind of spam scam. We all make mistakes, but if they're not even willing to send out a form response saying that they're working on a fix, it seems like a lost cause. UPDATE2: Raised to 3 stars because I figured out a workaround to the serious bug that they seem to have no interest in fixing or responding to. Found out accidentally while traveling: in airplane mode, the game works just fine with no interruptions or unwanted audio, cutting out the intrusive advertising altogether! This is probably not what they or their advertisers were expecting, but if they don't want to fix the game this is inconvenient but functional.
