Leave a Review Mad Libs
format is messed up
My family and i love this app and even spent money on buying the digital books. We thought it would be good for the environment to not recycle so much paper. But the format on the books is almost unreadable now. It displays each word that you enter as pale grey type on a separate line from the rest of the story. Reading it is difficult and the choppy flow makes it less funny in the end. There hasn’t been a fix for almost 5 years. We are so sad! And a little annoyed that we spent money on the app.Show lessUnreadable And Unusable
I have screenshots from 2013 showing readable Madlibs with black text in a white background and red text for the user-provided words. This version is completely unreadable, the text is almost the same color as the background and there’s no contrast. Why downgrade the app like this? Why discriminate against people with vision disabilities? Madlibs is one of my favorite games but the last update they did around 2019 completely trashed the app and made it worthless. How can you enjoy a Madlib you can’t even read? Why add like 2 extra steps to export the Madlib as a picture? What a shame that they destroyed a perfectly good app and don’t even seem to be around anymore to fix it.Show less𝖣𝖾𝗍𝖾𝗋𝗂𝗈𝗋𝖺𝗍𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝖺𝗉𝗉 (ಡ‸ಡ)
This game has not been updated in four years. You would think this would not be a problem, but somehow the app is falling apart.
The font that they show the stories in, in the preview; the format that is supposed to remind you of the book version? It won't even load; it's just boring old Times or something. The other reviews say this, but each word you put in now gets placed on a new line. It isn't by any means a fatal flaw, but it makes me a feel a bit uninspired. Also, every time you open the app (even when you just reopen the window), it opens the Game Center screen thingy, and you have to click out of it. It's very annoying. Not to mention that the app crashes frequently, sometimes as soon as you're about to read your story!
This has nothing to do with this game being in dire need of an update, but some of the free stories are just...𝒷𝓁𝒶𝒽. While most of them are indeed fun to read, many of them are only funny if you meticulously choose the silliest words and also make up a few elmo-y new ones. And some of them just aren't funny, no matter what heavyset earthworms you use. (Essentially, the free stories just advertise the paid books. If you're not planning to spend money on the app, either make the most of the free stories or don't get the app at all.)Show less
