I'm curious, but it kills the Android Browser on my Droid X. Words appear on the right frame, but before I can see them, or anything, the screen goes black and I'm back at the home page.

Not having a back button is a big deal. You sit there and think "well, I better just whip out a drawing so I can get back to my list of games" -- the only alternative is to exit back to the homescreen and wait some undetermined time (perhaps for the app to be moved out of memory?)

But the point is that forcing you to play the next turn in the round instead of picking another game acts to perpetuate engagement very effectively.

Its unplayable on my iphone 4 (up to date) I really dont see why its so popular? its SO slow. Personally I prefer depict!

How odd, it runs really well on my old 3Gs. And yes, I'm completely addicted to it :)

its annoying because when I finally managed to draw something (see what i did there!) it was really fun!
