Please fix this app and the game. Why can’t I have my friends from a different WiFi connection join too? Allow the option for other people on different WiFi connections to join. ### 1/5 — Cannot Connect w/ QR Code *2024-12-07, version 0.1.229949* No matter what, this app won’t open when scanning the QR code on iPhone. The game lobby no longer shows the invite code. AVOID THIS GAME! ### 2/5 — Enter a code?? *2024-12-04, version 0.1.229949* The game is great!! But the app version? No. My problem is that you have 2 options. Scan the QR code or enter the code. How are you going to put enter the code as an option? And there’s not even a code TO enter?? If you’re going to add that option, make sure you actually have a code for us to put in! 😒 if not, take that option out of the app!! Other than that, this is a great game and hope they continue games like this in the future!👍 ### 1/5 — Erro Qr Code *2024-11-02, version 0.1.229949* Simplesmente não consigo usar o aplicativo porque depois que eles colocaram a opção de qrcode, o qrcode me direciona para uma página web que me direciona para instalar o aplicativo, sendo que eu já tenho o aplicativo e escaneei o qr code pelo próprio aplicativo. E por nao ter em lugar nenhum a opção de entrar pelos 5 carácteres, não dá pra jogar. ### 1/5 — Slow, slow, slow, slow *2024-11-02, version 0.1.229949* Perhaps the worst game of all time. Every scene takes 10 times too long and no ability to speed up. ### 1/5 — Crossplay *2024-09-29, version 0.1.229949* Gibt in dem spiel keinen online crossplay ### 1/5 — Not connecting *2024-08-17, version 0.1.229949* Scanned the QR code and it didn’t join. Connected to the same wifi, bluetooth on. Needs some troubleshooting ### 3/5 — Why *2024-06-22, version 0.1.229949* I thought you could play the game on here and transfer your data from the console. But it’s literally just a touch in case ur other controller dies or breaks? What’s the point of this??? Cause if it did break, how would you even open the game? The game is great though ### 1/5 — -_- *2024-03-30, version 0.1.229949* Have a big problem with connections. Many times was kick out app. ### 2/5 — Keinen Sinn *2024-03-21, version 0.1.229949* Ich spiel das Spiel auf dem PC, hatte gedacht, mit der App könnte ich weiterspielen auf dem Handy. Das wäre mal eine tolle Idee gewesen… Leider verliere ich auch laufend die Connection. ### 1/5 — When I wrote the game code it didn’t work *2024-01-27, version 0.1.204236* I even tried multiple times 💀 ### 1/5 — You provided invalid code *2024-01-06, version 0.1.204236* Cannot connect to the game with friends ### 1/5 — Bah ça marche pas *2023-08-11, version 0.1.204236* Le touch pad ne fonctionne absolument pas, résultat je ne peux pas joué pas ouf ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-30, version 0.1.229949* Won’t connect. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save *2026-04-02, version 0.1.229949* Played a chapter with friends, it didn’t save any of it, wasted an hour of my time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2026-03-10, version 0.1.229949* Doesn’t work. Just endlessly connecting without ever connecting. Literally no one’s app worked. ### 1/5 — Didn’t even work *2026-02-14, version 0.1.229949* Would have loved to join the game as an additional player but the app did not allow it. ### 1/5 — Навіть мову змінити не можу *2026-01-04, version 0.1.229949* Мова не змінюється ### 1/5 — Nul ! *2025-12-15, version 0.1.229949* On ne peut pas se connecter avec le QR code ### 1/5 — Carrega eternamente *2025-11-02, version 0.1.229949* Infelizmente não funciona lê o QR Code mas não entra no jogo ### 1/5 — Does not load *2025-10-26, version 0.1.229949* This does not load. When I scan the we code it takes me back to the download page and scan the QR code so just keep going round in circles. ### 1/5 — Um lixo! Não serve para nada! *2025-10-25, version 0.1.229949* Ao ler o qrcode fica só carregando e não entra no jogo. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t allow to proceed in a game *2025-09-03, version 0.1.229949* Altough game is great fun, when using the app while playing locally with my friends we cant proceed further then 1st chapter and it makes this game unplayable. Something is not working correctly, the trophies are not being recognised as well. After ending the chapter it allows you to play the chapter only once again. Problem is disappearing while playing with a controller. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jit *2026-01-06, version 0.1.229949* I’m a real person, I’ve been real my whole life, I’ve got no clue what everyone else is talm about, good controls good game ### 5/5 — Está chido *2025-12-30, version 0.1.229949* Muy todo que ver la ntt ### 5/5 — Muy bien *2025-01-11, version 0.1.229949* Jala al 100 la app ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-01-28, version 0.1.204236* ❄️❄️💯🤴 Amazing app ### 5/5 — Va bien la aplicación. *2023-09-30, version 0.1.204236* No sé a los demás pero la aplicación va excelente. He usado el código que me aparece en mi Xbox Series X aquí en la App y se conectó al instante. Es como si fuera el pad táctil del mando de la PS4/PS5. Funciona bien, aunque realmente considero que es una aplicación que sobra. Aclarar que la consola debe estar conectada a Internet y el móvil también. La consola la tengo conectada por cable directo al módem. Aprender a manejar primero una aplicación y luego critiquen. ### 5/5 — Досить зручно *2023-07-11, version 0.1.204236* Для тих кому лень керувати мишкою, в самий раз. Зручно ### 5/5 — Companion feature *2023-07-09, version 0.1.204236* My boyfriend and I have downloaded the game (we like playing games like this one) and soon we have found out that it has companion function That has changed the way we play and make decisions in game, it has brought lots of pleasure and intrigue 10 out of 10 recommend to play together using this feature ### 5/5 — . *2023-02-17, version 0.1.204236* Really good app ### 5/5 — Utile ! *2022-10-10, version 0.1.197259* Il faut être sur le même réseau wifi sur la Xbox et sur le téléphone, le tout relié à internet et ça fonctionne !! Au pire vous quittez le jeu sur Xbox (start + quitter) puis le redémarrez. ### 5/5 — Must allow access to local networks *2022-08-28, version 0.1.197259* Works great! Wasn’t the quickest set up: it didn’t work for me at first so I deleted the app and redownloaded it and realized the first time I denied the game access to local networks and that was why it didn’t work for me. If anyone else is having issues I suggest trying this. Happy playing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
