I’m glad for this lawsuit and I hope it makes headway!!!

I hate this free app, but have to buy loot boxes (or something else) to get anywhere in the game. Words with friends has even taken this on, wish it had a non-cheat mode so I can just play the game with other non-cheaters...I don’t know if someone is beating me because they are good at it or because they use the cheats.

i actually have given bad reviews to games and sent Apple feedback for games you can’t just play but bombard you with purchasing various loot boxes or playing “tournaments” or Scopely is notorious for buying board game brand names and turning them into in-app purchase sheet shows. I want to be able to opt out of anything but my turn notifications, no notifications for anything else, I would pay for an app that would do this instead of being “free” with all this obnoxious b.s. trying to get more and more money out of me. I.E. When scrabble first came to the iPad it was just the board game, sure you had to pay for it, but it was great! Now Scopely bought it and it’s another in-app purchase sheet show.

A few years ago now (wow, time flies) I was interested in a start trek game, I think it was wrath of gems...it was pretty cool until you realize you can only go so far and then you hit a paywall, have to make in-app purchases to get any further with the game, they got me hooked, really hooked, but, I wasn’t going for it...I would have paid money to get the whole experience, but, not this buy this so you can get this to get further on only to have to keep doing that over and over and over.

also, about the same time they started the “free” games, they, (various apps), starting taking the “my turn” list and adding what should be “start a new game with” and putting new players in there to trick you into playing more and more games, I hate this, I have to do a double take every time I look at who’s next to see if it’s actually my turn or if it’s a new person they want me to play...I’ll start new games when I want to, dang it! (It used to be separate sections...my turn, their turn, start a new game, now starting new games is blurred into my turn list.) this is another aspect that should be covered in this lawsuit, it’s another way to keep you playing, keep you addicted to their game!

Here are two words for anyone who wants to limit spending on apps and can’t figure out how to place restrictions: gift cards. 

That only adds money to iTunes/Apple account, there still is a credit or debit card assigned to that Apple ID...once the iTunes/App Store gift card runs out, that card is charged, so this doesn’t limit spending.

It was Apple Computer Inc. until iPod and music became popular, then, sometime before the iPhone it became Apple corporation and they changed the logo from rainbow to solid, they dropped Computer from the name when marketing focus moved off computers. ...the article refers to Apple corporation when it was Apple Computer Inc.

AI actually there are two prices for the two apple pencils 

Pencil 1st gen $99 (or $85 apple refurb)
Pencil 2nd gen is $129

“And all that the iPad mini really added to its specifications was an improved processor. It still didn't have the iPad Air 2's A8X processor, but it did have an A8.”

OMG, the biggest change to the IPad Mini with the iPad Mini 4 was the laminated, anti-reflective coated screen with the best color of any and all iPad released before it. Why do you, AI, always overlook this?

im so glad they improved the screen on the Mini 5 and didn’t dumb it down to iPad entry leve cheap non-laminated screen like so many rumors!
