### 3/5 — Great app until recently

*2022-07-01*

My new iPhone camera doesn’t seem to play nicely with the scanning anymore. It really struggles to find the cards. 

Maybe it would be nice to be able to select the ingredients manually if the scanner isn’t working.

### 4/5 — Great - but needs history

*2022-05-26*

This app works very well but definitely could use a section to show the history of what you’ve done.

### 3/5 — Juego Genial

*2019-01-22, version 2.1.1.*

Pero la App necesita actualización!

### 4/5 — Flash would be great

*2017-03-05, version 2.0.3*

Most times we had to use an external light for the ingredient recognition to work. Enabling the phone flash would be really helpful!

### 5/5 — Indispensable.

*2017-01-18*

Très bien fait et indispensable pour gérer une partie.

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2016-11-07*

Game of strategy, risk assessment and deduction

### 5/5 — It's Great Again!

*2016-09-24*

The newest update has fixed the enter game code issue! The app is once great again!

### 1/5 — Does not function on iOS 10

*2016-09-14*

When trying to test a set of cards the app instantly crashes. Entering a code does not work either.

### 1/5 — Freezes after entering code

*2016-07-13*

Every time

### 5/5 — Eine große Erleichterung für das Brettspiel

*2016-04-10*

🔝👍🏻

### 1/5 — Schlechte Scanner Funktion

*2022-06-25*

Seit dem Update mit der angeblich „verbesserten Scanfunktion“ ist die Bilderkennung dramatisch schlecht geworden.

Updates etc wurden natürlich alle gemacht. 
Selbst mit optimaler Ausleuchtung wird kaum ein Scan erkannt.

So macht das Spiel leider wenig Spaß.

### 1/5 — App funktioniert schlecht

*2022-06-25*

Leider funktioniert das Erkennen der Karten sehr schlecht bei uns trotz guter Ausleuchtung …

### 1/5 — What am I doing

*2019-04-24*

I have no idea what I'm doing

### 1/5 — Tutorial? Words? Something?

*2018-11-05*

It would be great to have any idea what any of this game was. A basic tutorial, or even just some sort of text to know what you’re doing.

**Developer response:** Hello,

thank you for your review. In description of the app is mentioned that this isn't independent app. This is companion/support app for our boardgame Alchemist.

Kind Regards,

### 1/5 — Nao funciona

*2017-11-29*

Não funciona.

### 1/5 — Idiot games

*2017-11-16, version 2.1.1.*

Not fun

### 1/5 — Instructions?

*2017-01-27*

I have no idea what this game is or how to play. It accesses the camera and seems to assume that players will know what to do next. I got bored of randomly stabbing at buttons without any understanding and I quit. Production quality is simplistic.

### 1/5 — No funciona en iOs10

*2016-09-22, version 1.1.2.*

Acabo de actualizar el movil y la aplicacion se cuelga constantemente.

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2016-09-17*

Have rarely encountered a less function app.  Does not allow you to enter a game code or to enter cards by any means.

### 1/5 — Bugs with iOS 10

*2016-09-16*

The enter code option no longer works in iOS 10

### 5/5 — I fooled them all

*2024-09-27*

I fooled all my friends into messing up their entire score sheets. I win 😼

### 5/5 — Jogo sensacional

*2023-07-06*

O app é perfeito

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Bestes Brettspiel aller Zeiten

*2022-05-14*

Ein sehr schönes Brettspiel, was mit dieser App einfach genial wird.

### 5/5 — Tolles Addon

*2021-09-03*

Nicht mehr ohne.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app to a fantastic board game

*2020-04-22*

I love using this app with the Alchemist board game, which is one of my favorite deduction games. If you were weary when app integration first came to tabletop gaming, don’t be. It is here to stay. While Alchemist is one of the first it is also one of the best to use an app for proper gameplay. Do yourself a favor and pick up this game to become a master alchemist!!!

### 5/5 — One of fav

*2019-12-31, version 2.2.4*

This is one of the best app implemented deduction boardgame

### 5/5 — Good game

*2019-10-16, version 2.2.4*

Fun

### 5/5 — Вывод информации

*2019-06-27*

На iPhone X часть информации прячется за «монобровью». Очень сильно все поднялось вверх. Из-за этого скрывается часть информации, карты например обрезаются. И окно сканирование карт слишком маленькое стало.

### 5/5 — Ths!

*2019-06-02*

We are waiting for Russian language)

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-04-09*

This is a fun board game and the app worked great for us. You do need the physical game if you want to play (vs. just learn how potions work in the app) - the app is not a game by itself.
