Games with more transparent matchmaking (Ludo King, Parchisi STAR) tend to attract fewer "rigged" complaints in reviews.
Voice chat is the most resource-intensive part of the app and also the most-complained-about. The crashes correlate with voice chat startup and with joining rooms that already have many participants. Alternatives like Ludo King and Ludo Club have simpler voice features but far fewer crashes as a result.
