Comments on Upwords for Android

★★★★☆ David Wishart · Feb 24, 2026

Needs to pull from a better dictionary. Way too many abbreviations amd "variant spellings" allowed. Otherwise, it's a good recreation of the board game.

★★★★★ Marylyn Hofmann · Apr 30, 2026

Good game, just like the board game. Adverts are too long though.

★★★★★ June Weaver · Mar 25, 2025

Love it. My brother and I play the board game all the time. We grew up playing Scrabble.

★★★★★ MaryAnne Kowalyk · May 21, 2025

I've been playing this game for a long time now and really enjoy it. Recently I had an issue that required assistance from Upwards support. I was surprised about how quickly I received a response and the issue was resolved! Excellent customer service!

★☆☆☆☆ Ah Al · Feb 19, 2026

Had to u install and re-install due to not tiles sticking to the board they just fly away. I will just delete now because if have reinstalled it about 3 times, and it's really infuriating. Honor 400 pro

★★☆☆☆ Dake Kai · May 4, 2026

The UI is awful. And you will have a quite few ads before even completing ine round of play. And the bots know way too many words the average person has never seen or heard. Love Upwards IRL, but this leaves a lot to be desired imo.

★☆☆☆☆ Lou Hart · Dec 16, 2025

Now the ads have vanished but the dictionary is not a tournament one - some old Merriam-Webster list which contains words used by the AI which, it admits, don't exist. The dictionary described in the FAQs is not the one used and there are constant messages that the game is not found on the server.

★☆☆☆☆ Jj Qwerty · Jan 7, 2026

Airns is NOT a word besides an english dialect of "earn". Last I checked, what is basically slang, or even could be called a slurring of a word, should be used in games. Heck, I can't even use moundy, or a myriad of other completely reasonable words, but eve can use airns? AI slop in word games shouldn't exist.
