Waiting for "update" that takes me back to the "good old days"

Playing on iPad Mini (newest OS), signed in via Origin, not Facebook.

In chat, I can only type a few characters while seeing what I type, but as I continue, the text doesnt "crawl", so I cant see what Im typing. Typing blind.

All user names of people I had been been playing with for months/years were replaced with "Guest####." I have to check every chat in every game to try to locate them. No more avatars, just "G" and "Y".

An additional degradation in function... when I choose to re-match with a regular player, with whom I communicate, it initially shows as "Random Opponent", instead of their "Guest#", until they play a word, so very difficult to keep track.

I cant search for friends. This feature became completely non-functional a long time ago. My daughter got the Scrabble App, and even though we have each others user names, we cant search, invite or play with each other. Very frustrating!

It seems that with every update, I lose functions. So many features I had when I first purchased this game are long gone. I just dont get why the developers arent restoring these functions... truly baffled.
