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!

I've been playing this game against my husband for a few years. It is very true to the board game. It accepts many strange words but if you have the dictionary you can look it up. I paid for the premium version and then changed my phone and lost the features, perhaps after changing my username. It took a while but eventually got the features back. THANKS!

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

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.

The adds are so loud and irritating that they give you a fright. So much so that if it's not fixed I won't play anymore.

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.

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.
