Wanted to get this game but when I read the reviews in the market they were mainly bad. Certain phones were having major issues with the game, fc's, reboots etc. Anyone playing this game on the Inc without problems? Im playing Wordfeud now but WWF is multiplatform so more friends have it.
 
Its playable. The force close issue does get quite annoying after a while. I would think they will be sending an update out sooner then later. It is a really fun game though.
 
(Dinc owner) -

I haven't had many FC's at all. A couple of the recent updates "lost" a bunch of games though.

That said earlier today I got a "Sorry were repairing a issue and WWF is closing it should be resolved when you re-open the game thanks" (paraphrased)

When I launched WWF again I had to log in and go through the updating thing. Once that was done most if not ALL my games came back!

Since then its worked great!

Most of my friends are iphone dorks so I'm pretty much locked into WWF.

I REALLY recommend anyone having issues to REMOVE the game and re-download it from the market... Its helped a lot of folks having issues...
 
Thanks for the great responses guys! Im gonna stick to WF for now. What a great way to pass time with friends.
 
It runs like crap on my phone. And I hate waiting forever for a random person to make a move.

Uninstalled it.

This is how I was welcomed every time I opened the app:

You have to remove ad blocker, or find the WWF host file on xda (have seen it in the IR thread) and update ad blocker with the new file. PITA!
 
It plays like crap on my DInc. I have a game going with my daughter, otherwise I'd delete it. Constantly FC, or else it just doesn't find the game I'm in the middle of.

I love wordsmith. I keep a good 8-10 games going there all the time.
 
Haven't had any force closes for a day now. Seems to be working much better over all. Moves between players has sped up. My buddy has an Iphone on Verizon, I have the Incredible. It works fine between phones. I was surprised by this.
 
WWF is killing me. I only d/l it to play with iphone friends. I get fc all the time, I get games saying it's their turn even though it's finished and thus I have 30 games saying their turn that I can't delete, when I play a word and hit submit it just sits there frozen trying to 'send' it until I manually fc it, I can't access chat or never receive messages for at least a few days, etc etc. It finally is acting a bit more normal recently but at times it's unplayable.
 
I was having all the problems everyone else was having. There was an update in the market to it a couple days ago and I haven't had one fc since!
 
I hated WWF when I first installed it, but like the previous post, when I installed my update, it was like a whole new app. It runs beautifully now.
 
every time I update it, it losses all my games....which sucks hard, I've about given up on it which also sucks b/c I really enjoyed playing
 
I no longer us WWF, can't even open it, it force closes every time. I use wordfeud and it works great!
 
I got it when it first came out, ate up my battery as bad as when I'm in the basement of a building with no battery. Uninstalled, WF FTW
 
Destroys my phone to the point I need to pull the battery.

Sad because my gf loves to play it and I'd love to play it with her. (she has Droid1)
 
Try uninstalling WWF and reinstalling it....when I did that the new updated version of WWF installed, and all of my old supposedly "lost" games came back.

It has worked perfectly since, and even games with my friends with IPhones work perfectly now.
 
The updates killed it, worked fine for awhile but this is a crap app. You can tell their work went into the ios version rather than the android version.
