HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (31251 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.4 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Relax!

Playing both with my daughter and alive and it’s always relaxing.

★★★★★Jul 3, 2026
Scrabble with friends and strangers

This is a very nice online scrabble. Only suggestion - add the explanations to the accepted words as a learning opportunity for foreigners (and native speakers alike)

★★★★★Jan 28, 2026
Almost perfect

4.5 stars… when does a match end if the opponent no longer plays? You have to give up? There should be a timeline to lose when you have not played for 24/48/72 hours.

★★★★★Jan 26, 2026
Interessant. Prägnant. Praktisch

Gutes Spiel für Züge mit Freunden
