Plato: Games To Play Together

This app is almost perfect. The game interface is great and the app supports a pretty large amount of games. My favorites are Four-in-a-Row (I have almost 1,000 wins), Backgammon, and recently I’ve started playing Werewolf as well. It’s easy to use and navigate, family-friendly (sometimes TOO family-friendly (I’ll get to that in a moment). However, I have two problems with it. Not major ones but some things that I’d suggest looking into. 1) Only 3 games are allowed in the rooms (and yes I updated. It only lets me have 2 open now...). I accidentally clicked on a game of Euchre a few weeks ago and never actually played it. I assumed that I’d lose and the game would end. Unfortunately for me, that didn’t happen. The game still shows up there and reduces the amount of games I can play at once. There is no way to get rid of inactive games, either (unless it’s a 2-player game. I’m pretty sure the people who I started the Euchre with have uninstalled the app since they won’t respond to my pleads to finish the game so it will disappear. Please remove the game restriction for the social lounge and other lounges. 2) TOO censored. The censoring tool is pretty bad. It gets rid of all swear words but sometimes it censored words that aren’t bad - like Japan for example. It literally replaces “Japan” with “***.” I’d suggest trying to fix the censor system. It censors out way too many things that are not bad.

There NEEDS to be a better way to separate people who speak different languages. I have not played ONE game of Werewolf where everyone spoke English. When I point it out and ask them to please speak English or play in servers for other languages, I get: A) Insulted and told to stop being a baby, B) Ignored, C) Denial, D) Excuses, i.e, "I'm too lazy to update," "I don't care,", or the worst. E) "Figure out how to speak Arabic, then, dumb***." Every single one of these responses ALWAYS ruins my day. Then I go to play Pool, where, inevitably, I walk into a game where the other person has left, and I am currently stuck with 10 different inactive games clogging my queue. Also, about the new game, Bankroll. Awesome idea, I love having Monopoly on this app. However, some people refuse to trade, and my game is doomed because I need said properties. There needs to be a function where you are forced to put up a property if the person who landed on auction does. One more thing: For all the games, my phone will suddenly lag and say "Connecting to server", and when it gets back, my turn is over and my game is doomed. Thank you for reading this, if you're still here, and if you work for Plato, please fix these things! Especially the first one, it's driving me insane!

Overall the app is good for the most part. The game is fun. There is 3 big things that bother me though. One) Even on WiFi, the games take forever to load, for example in backgammon I pretty much always have to wait forever for my dice to load and in gin rummy, half the time the card I draw takes for to load. I’ve lost live games due to the glitch and have had people complaining about me not completing my move fast enough seventy five percent of the time. Two) there needs to be a translator or something people I am competing with try to talk to me but sometimes they are in other languages. I shouldn’t have to learn a new language to play the games. On the same note, this would be especially helpful as even though I click the English werewolf game ninety five percent of the time I get paired with people who don’t speak English. It is especially frustrating with this game as communication is so important in werewolf. Three) there are loop wholes for winning that people keep taking advantage of. For example, in sea battle, people will just let the computer do their moves until all the ships are found and then win, and in the drawing game, people will draw a good drawing, I’ll guess, and then they’ll leave and win because if there not there I can’t get points to beat them. Thanks for listening and hopefully you get to read this.

I originally downloaded this to just earn virtual money from another game, but I enjoyed it so much that I kept it! This app is really fun and has lots of cool games! What’s even better? NO ADS! I hope it stays that way. But here’s the reason why it’s 2 stars instead of 5. I would definitely rate it 5 stars BUT there’s too many pervs on here for no reason. A harmless friend request that you accept turns into “mm baby” or “how old are you?” “where are you from?” etc etc. Last time I checked, this isn’t a dating app 🙄 it’s mostly people from different countries who ask these things on here. Another issue is we can’t cuss? Aren’t we adults here? One more problem that’s minor over major. I tested out using the avatars as my profile picture then switch to my actual photo or change it, ya know like normal people do to try it out, and it says I’ve tried changing it too many times please wait until later. That’s kinda ridiculous in my opinion. But other than the creeps, cussing, and profile picture, it’s semi great.

Plato is a super fun way to connect with individuals to play games and meet new people however I feel Plato could be much better. There’s many bots in the chat rooms asking ppl inappropriate questions so I feel there should be a security check in order to prevent bots from joining Plato and ruining the experience. I also don’t like the fact that you can only update your picture three times before it restricts you for the next 24 hours from changing it again. Your picture has nothing to do with anything so why are we restricted from changing it???? Last but not least I think there should be an added feature where we can send live pictures and Pictures in general. I’ve met many people on Plato and I’d like to show them how I look however I can’t through Plato, and I don’t like adding people on social media because I don’t truly know them nor their intentions. Other than that Plato is a great app.
