It’s a little annoying though when you don’t get an award after you stump the Akinator. And it’s annoying when you get a message that you already “received an award” for someone you never ran through. Not sure why. ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2026-07-21, version 9.1.0* Akinator as a game is fine but the only benefit of this VIP version is there are no ads on install. Just buy no ads on the free version. ### 2/5 — Не работает *2026-04-07* Почему-то вечная загрузка ### 2/5 — 모션 없을 때가 나음 *2026-03-03* 모션 생기니까 답답함 ### 3/5 — The new animations *2026-02-23, version 9.0.0* Please make it so there’s a way to turn off the animations and make the questions load faster again please ### 4/5 — Pretty cool app, but one problem… *2026-02-20, version 9.0.0* I remember when I first had this downloaded and it’s not that big of a deal, but it was still a cool feature. That feature would be genie customization. It isn’t an available option anymore and makes the game a little less fun. Other than that, this is a pretty cool game. ### 5/5 — Good time *2026-01-14, version 8.61* This is a good way to pass time, and every time you do it with someone new it’s renewed and brand new again. ### 2/5 — Wack *2026-01-02, version 8.61* The website version is way better. This is a waste of money ### 4/5 — Good but why did you remove customizations? *2025-12-28, version 8.61* I like using Akinator for guessing characters and whatnot, but what I hate is that I’m just collecting coins for nothing. Why can’t customization for the Akinator come back? And what I also hate is that there’s App Store guidelines for certain characters, which is kinda confusing ngl… ### 3/5 — Used to be Better, what happened? *2025-12-09, version 8.60* Haven’t played for a couple years and got back to it. Found my whole game was reset, Akinator doesn’t have outfits anymore, and there’s lots of characters missing that used to be on the list. Nearly every main character and monster from kaijudo was for example, but now like 2 characters. Especially annoyed as I used to have quite a few blacks but now when I try every time the character I put doesn’t exist in the database (I get some were removed as you can’t do [C]orn stars anymore, even tho there’s a filter setting and lots of games get away with worse BS, but it’s beyond annoying and Akinator is so old I feel it won’t get updated to ever include) ### 4/5 — Good game but why were outfits removed? *2025-10-20, version 8.30* I want outfits back! ### 3/5 — Can't guess obscure characters *2025-10-09, version 8.30* Too many times I try to guess a character who isn't popular and has similar characteristics as more popular characters and it always guesses the wrong character no matter how many times I try. I've been trying to guess a character who would give me a black medal (the highest award) for the past half hour and it keeps guessing someone else then immediately getting it right at the 2nd guess but those don't count. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — scam *2026-07-19, version 9.1.0* just get the free version ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-07-16* Вечная загрузка ### 1/5 — Ruined by online safety act *2026-05-25, version 9.0.6* Was a great fun App but now it wouldn’t even guess a character that appears in some episodes of the most popular sitcom ever (Ursula from Friends) because of “App Store guidelines” if that character is blocked then I can only assume it will be harder to find a character it will dare to actually tell you the name of!! ### 1/5 — Проблемы после обновления *2026-03-20* Без VPN приложение не открывается, появляется окно (Ошибка), никаких номеров ошибки нету чтобы определить что не так… Почините, оценка будет 5⭐️ Поставил 1⭐️ чтобы заметили что есть проблема ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2026-03-13, version 9.0.2* Recent update removed cosmetics, and added animations. Cosmetics that you get by playing the game, and earning rewards. Animations that make playing slower now, having to wait for animations. Patch Notes state that you could just stay on the old version, but you can’t roll back. Once updated (auto-update apps are enabled for me) you’re screwed. Why did it have to be an update that was forced, and not an update that had a toggle button is settings? I should be able to use my cosmetics. Period. I should be able to turn on/off animations as needed. ### 1/5 — Free game just cost money *2026-02-27, version 9.0.1* It’s the free game but 3$ ### 1/5 — Wth *2026-01-25, version 8.61* Tried to get Cornwall, but he just forgets my answers and gives me Belgium and other countries, even though I clearly pressed yes on if it was English. And he just may answer away like it doesn’t matter. ### 1/5 — Saw the recent update… “In-App Purchases” incoming… *2025-10-07, version 8.30* Due to “improvements” we took away what you paid for to try and make an extra dollar. ### 1/5 — Banned *2025-08-31, version 8.29* I got banned from guessing objects because I pressed buttons too fast to get my answer, he thought I was cheating and then got disqualified from being ranked. ### 1/5 — What the heck is happening *2025-08-06, version 8.28* I just recently got akinator and it’s been fine for the past few days until now. Whenever I tried guessing an answer it worked fine but after it guesses and I hit “yes” whenever it ranks me it gives me the validation penalty or whatever it is. I am using no VPNs or even any auto guessers I’m just playing the game normally. But since it was something random like “tissues” and it was the first time I restarted it I guessed it was just bugging out. So when I restarted the second time I was trying to make it guess the MacBook Air, But when I got to the end it guessed a “Apple IPad Pro”, which wasn’t really a big deal and I was like “Ok, it got it wrong but might as well just accept it got it right because it will give me points anyway” so when I hit yes, instead of it giving me some bronze or standard award, IT GAVE ME THE PENALTY AGAIN. I’m not trying to be a Karen or anything, but THIS TIME it REMOVED MY POINTS, I was working hard to get in at least the top 20, which I HAD been at, and NOW this POOR FILTRATION made me drop down all the way too… 978! >:(((( If the devs won’t fix this, I will change it to a 1 star, instead of a 2 since I was trying to be nice. but if they DO fix this then I will give it a 5 star review and. So yeah for now it’s completely broken and I hope it gets fixed soon ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Akinator vip *2026-08-21, version 9.1.1* It is really good 😃😎🥰😂🎁😆😆😆😆 very good to play ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-07-27, version 9.1.0* Now my favorite game ### 5/5 — It’s a really really good *2026-07-16, version 9.1.0* There’s no ad in it, but if you want ads, just get regular Akinator, it might seem frustrating to pay for it. In other people opinion but for me, it’s worth it. ### 5/5 — W game *2026-07-04, version 9.0.7* It’s just way to good try iit ### 5/5 — Gagged *2026-04-09, version 9.0.3* Good game ### 5/5 — It is fun *2026-04-03, version 9.0.3* It is a fun game and it has great theme and I like it because it gives you something to do when you are bored ### 5/5 — It fun. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *2026-03-16, version 9.0.2* Fun ### 5/5 — Immer wieder erstaunlich *2026-03-05* Seit 10 Jahren nutze ich die App regelmäßig mit Familie und Freunden. Immer wieder lustig und erstaunlich. ### 5/5 — I enjoy it *2026-03-02, version 9.0.1* It’s a game I like to use as a test of my memory, so indirectly it’s super helpful for someone with not the greatest memory ### 5/5 — Amazing and mind blowing *2026-02-06, version 8.63* I don’t know how this works but it gets what I’m thinking literally every time. Scares me into thinking what else does it know. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
