Love e game but not the bug
I love the game and played it all the time with family and friends.
However theres a new bug with the Game Center. If I chose to play against 2-3 players vs 4 players, when the second player takes their turn all the tiles disappear from the ‘bag’. It makes the game extremely short.
If I select four players whether random or friends, there’s no ploblem.
Please please fix this bug. My family dearly miss the game.Show lessArtisticFool
Great game!
My family plays this board game when we get together. Found this version of the game while quarantining during the pandemic. The family lives in different areas of the country and it's great to get together and play on line. We usually do FaceTime on one device and play on the other so it's like being together. Another group I play with we use the phone to talk while we're playing. It took some time to figure out how to get everyone on board but now it's easy. I'm just grateful I don't have to keep score!😆
I think I wrote this review a while ago and never sent it. Unfortunately Qwirkle has not been updated for a while and it’s not compatible with the updated iOS. Now you cannot invite friends to play to play on the updated iOS. It would be wonderful if you could fix it!!Show lessYoda from York
Quirky Qwirkle
Update…since the latest OS update (15.4.1) on my iPad, this game doesn’t even work. Unable to start a game with a friend. Please fix!!!
This game is fun! It’s been great to be able to continue to play this game remotely with my during social distancing time. Unfortunately, it’s a very quirky app. One player will play, then be notified that it’s still there turn. Another play will never be notified that it’s their turn and has to go out of the game each time to be able to play. Many times, we’ve had to turn off and restart our iPads to get it to work. Also, when I invite friends to play an online game, they have to have an old game in the queue to close out of in order to see that a new game is pending. Very frustrating! We love playing Qwirkle but it would be great if there was a reliable version of it.... please!!!!Show lessTuckasaurous
Problem with creating an online game
This app hasn’t been updated in awhile and I doubt it will get updated.
I really enjoy playing this game however, it is very difficult to create an online game if there is less then 3 people you are inviting. When inviting you click the friend you invite but the start game is grayed out. Another way of doing it is going clicking the game center bubble in the Quckile app, but if your only inviting one person it tries to auto match with 2 other players. It seems to be doing this with each update when I update my iPad and seeing the this app hasn’t been updated in 4 years it makes sense that it wouldn’t be working as it shouldShow lessSarahs116
Quirky, alright. Should have called it “Buggy.”
My wife and I enjoy playing this electronic version of what would otherwise be a very cumbersome game to travel with. The only problem is all the bugs encountered trying to set up games. First, both of us must be on the same network - problematic in hotels where they only let you have one device. The phone data connection to the network does not work. Period. Even when we are logged into our home WiFi, I have to “Invite Friends;” cancel that friend; then pick the same friend from the list of friends; and “Invite Friends” again. Then my wife has to be watching for a banner to show up on her iPad and touch it before it disappears or we have to start over. And it has to be me who sends the invite - she has no “Friends” in her friend list and no number of invites ever adds to the list. Whew. Like I said, Buggy.Show lessJ.Jay.F
Worse with each iOS update
I really hope they update the app some day. It’s been 3 years! I miss playing with my friends!
— Rematch button doesn’t work
— Laborious process to invite friends
— when starting a game w. Less than 4 friends, each player gets a hand of tiles and the draw bag is empty so a 2-player game is essentially a 12-TILE game
— The “empty bag” glitch is pretty much standard. Maybe one out of every 20 attempts of starting a new game will function properly and can be played out normally.
— Sometimes the player who goes second can’t see that any tiles have been played; everything is invisible to them.
I really love Qwirkle and have played the app for years. Qwirkle is the perfect asynchronous game to play with multiple friends and is simple enough that I can have 10 different games going at once and I don’t have to break my brain to remember what I was doing each time I start up the app. The imitation apps just aren’t the same so I really hope this app gets a major update and makeover someday soon.Show lessHowlsthunder
Great game but some issues
I love this game but the minute I step away and the phone turns off , I lose the game I was playing. Very disappointing. You should be able to continue where you left off. It shouldn’t close the app if your phone shuts off. It’s also upsetting when you play a random player and the random player never returns a play. They should be timed out if they take over a certain amount of days to respond with their move and be forced to resign.Show lessJeni823
This is hard for me.
Since this is my all-time favorite game, this rating is difficult for me.
But the execution is just so glitchy. Especiallly for a paid app. Often when it's my turn I need to make the same move about a dozen times before it works. But even worse, I am not able to initiate online games with my friends. I have no idea why. I've tried deleting the app and re-installing but nothing fixes it.
My last criticism is not a glitch, but a stylistic decision: at the end of the game, if I lose, I find it frustrating not to be shown the last moves by the other players. Even though irrelevant, I'd also like to still be able to see the last tiles I have left on my rack.Show lessKarina_Sophia
Game is fun but glitchy
We love playing Qwirkle through the app. From the beginning we’ve had intermittent issues with getting invites to show up on the receiving persons game, Usually exiting game completely and coming back in fixes that so it is frustrating but possible.
Most recently however, for a little over week, we’ve had issues starting games with each other. The start button is greyed out after I choose my friend for online game. Restarting doesn’t fix this one.
The work around is to click on the Game Center icon with color bubbles and send invite that way but then we’re stuck in an endless loop of playing the same game starting move over and over. It’s like there is a communication issue within the game itself…server? 4 stars when it works and close to 5.Show lessBlinkygin
Be Prepared to Get Angry
I love playing this game, and I’ve learned a lot playing this app. Let me start by saying I more often than not beat the robot on the average setting. However, a few things this app does that is very aggravating. First, it will sometimes give you the same shape/color, mostly in the beginning of the game, basically forcing you to trade or wait it out without making many points. Second, and it’s the most aggravating, is ruining a Qwirkle you’ve been patiently waiting for. By this I mean you’ll be sitting on a tile waiting for one to get a Qwirkle. This can go on for many, many turns. When you FINALLY get the tile you’ve been waiting for…especially if it’s a lot of points…the robot will pick just that precise time to ruin the Qwirkle. This hasn’t happened once or twice. It happens a LOT. Now, I know when playing with humans Qwirkles get ruined, but what is so irritating is that it waits until the turn right when you pick that tile. It’s not irritating because I’ll lose the game, but that it is obviously rigged to do this. The app obviously knows which tiles you have, what tiles are left, and which to give the robot so it can ruin your move at the precise time. And don’t bother playing the expert version. It gives all the good tile color/shape combos to the robot.Show lessBirch Grove
