    Played the game and like it too much. :)

    I can't play the "Auto match" because I can't touch to it. What can I do now?

    Are you on the latest verison? Check Test Flight. I'm guessing you're not signed into Sandbox Game Center or Facebook. If you're trying to use Game Center make sure you have the "Sandbox" toggle enabled in your devices Settings > Game Center menu.

    Are letters supposed to repeat so much? Sometimes it's almost impossible to even start a game. I'm currently stuck in a match with only 5 various letters. 4 of them are repeated THRICE. they're not even good, common letters. I'd attach a pic if the TA app wouldn't crash every time.

    This might not be a problem for hardcore players, but all I can say about this game right now is that it's frustrating - and I'm usually very into word games. Currently this is like Letterpress (RIP) with all the fun sucked out.

    Ive played a few games with other sandbox players. The PVP appears to work flawlessly. The entire game is really nice, and I like idea of capturing the capital. However, I will repeat my request of adding AI to the mix. It just takes way too long to wait for another player to play their turn. I like to spend some time with a word game, not just a couple minutes.

    The game's idea sounds pretty cool, a hexagonal letterpress. I'm still waiting for my invite to check it out

    How to add friends in Sandbox?

    When I launched sandbox mode on gamecenter, it created a new gamecenter id. it doesn't seem to allow me to add any other friends, and i have no option to play friends in the game (just former opponents). Does anyone know how to correct this?

    The UI is bothering me a little. Having to stretch my thumb across the screen to submit is a bit of a pain. Swapping the backspace with submit would be nice. I find myself just tapping the letters to unclick them most of the time rather than hitting backspace

    - Fixed games showing in the wrong state in list after playing a turn

    This should wrap up most of the the incorrect game state bugs. Let us know if you still see any!

    I'm only just on the beta - a friend of mine has just got on, we've both put GameCenter into Samdbox mode and added each other as new friends inside this "sandboxes" GameCenter we can now play each other
