### 3/5 — Repeating clues

*2024-05-25, version 4.8.1*

Is it possible to add this option in setup? Without that the game is quite easy even on higher levels.

### 3/5 — Imprescindible para el solitario

*2023-11-29, version 4.8.1*

El único problema que le encuentro es que desactiva el bluetooth cuando la abres y por ejemplo te desconecta los AirPods. Y por pedir, cambiar el icono que parece una app que se está actualizando y mosquea mucho.

### 3/5 — Welcome Updates, Musical Glitch

*2023-11-18, version 4.8*

While the app still looks odd scaled to a iPhone 12 ProbMax, the subtle changes in the latest update are very welcome to this frequent solo detective. I’ve played a of games & it’s been much less frustrating not having to try to outwit the app to avoid duplicate clues. My only qualm is the added music: in-app it’s great, perfectly sets the mood, *but* if I exit the app the music keeps playing, even if I lock the iPhone. So far the only solutions I’ve found are either disabling the music (which many players are likely to do regardless) or opening the app switcher to force close AG to make the background music stop.

### 3/5 — Ugly, but does its job

*2023-04-14*

tldr: Love the game, tolerate the iOS app

I love “Awkward Guests”. I use the app a lot since I primarily play the solo mode, but on my phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) the graphics are all stretched to fill the screen, rendering everything squat & finicky to interact with. The app looks excellent on any iPad I’ve used it on, and also renders nicely on a friend’s Android phone with a just-larger screen than mine. Speaking of the Android version: why can’t your iOS players have handy, easy drop-down menus? Scrolling to select inquiries/solutions is an absolute pain, especially on an iPhone where the graphics have already been mangled & squashed to fit the screen. For such a top-notch game as AG, the app feels very indifferent to its own existence — despite being the primary means for your players to extract the most value (replay-ability) out of their purchase.

### 3/5 — Scenarios missing from app

*2022-12-30, version 4.7*

All the scenarios present in the art booklet are missing in the app. Only the scenarios present in the instruction booklet are in the app which is very disappointing. Would have been easy for the developers to include both.

### 3/5 — Nice but…

*2022-01-02, version 4.6*

“How” and “Why” are reversed.

### 3/5 — Work fine. Solo mode could be better...

*2020-04-30, version 2.1*

App works well. Solo mode is good, but I keep getting an EXCESS amount of duplicate cards, more than necessary. Please fix the large amount of duplicate cards if you can!

### 3/5 — Dark mode support

*2020-02-29, version 2.1*

Dark mode shows white letters over light backgrounds.

### 4/5 — Letras blancas…

*2020-01-26, version 2.1*

Al activar el modo oscuro las letras pasan a estar en color blanco en algunos letreros lo que hace su lectura bastante complicada.

### 4/5 — Major Issues Fixed

*2019-10-05, version 2.1*

As of now (Aug 7, 2019) I can’t get the solo mode to work on my iPhone X. It starts the case, gives me 5-6 card numbers but then I can’t do anything else. There is a ‘Next’ button but it is unresponsive. The only buttons I have that do anything at that point are ‘Back’ and ‘Solve’. Neither of which I want to do. Would love to try this game solo, but seems like I can’t at this time.

UPDATE: Oct. 4, 2019. The latest update seems to fix the two largest issues people were having (solo mode not working on certain iPhones and there not being a language selector) so I updated my rating to 4 stars.

### 2/5 — Next Button Not Working

*2019-09-23, version 2.0*

The next button doesn’t work in solitaire mode.

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2019-09-16, version 2.0*

Works okay on my iPhone 7. Played through it twice. Took me a few minutes to realize that you can scroll on the menus. Played beginner and solved it easy despite still learning the game/app. Played easy with my kids, who "helped" me. Had to guess the person as I ran out of points. Seems fair since my "help" consumed a lot of points to check rooms that weren’t of much value to me.

### 4/5 — Bit more detail

*2019-09-14*

Needs the route of the murderer added to the solution!

### 1/5 — Cartas repetidas?

*2025-01-14, version 4.9.1*

Desde que se actualizó la app no salen cartas repetidas en el modo solitario, lo que hace que el juego sea muy fácil y que los puntos de las cartas no sirvan para mucho. Se trata de un error de la app?

### 1/5 — Não aparece nenhuma carta, somente números. Não dá pra fazer nada

*2024-01-04, version 4.8.1*

O jogo não funciona

### 1/5 — Błędne rozwiazania

*2022-01-30, version 4.6*

Jestem po 1 rozgrywce solo - z kart została wykluczona maczeta jako narzędzie zbrodni tak wiec powinno to wykluczyć nóż do listów jednak takie właśnie było rozwiazanie w aplikacji. Coś tu nie działa…

### 1/5 — Aplikacja do poprawy.

*2021-12-19, version 4.6*

Aplikacja po polsku pokazuje na odwrót czym zabito z motywem. Przy grze eksperckiej nie ma możliwości wskazać kto był wspólnikiem. Aplikacja blednie sama podpowiada pierwsza lepsza osobę.

### 1/5 — Czcionka

*2021-12-03, version 4.6*

Witam,

Byłoby super gdyby była poprawiona czcionka polskich znaków w aplikacji. Razi to po oczach.

### 1/5 — Issues with Claudette Cazelar in French version

*2021-08-14*

There is an issue with Claudette Cazelar when choosing her motives. It does indicate correctly "fraudé démasquée" and "affaire insoupçonnée". However it repeats "affaire insoupçonnée" twice and omits "deception fatale". This renders the game unplayable when the motive is the missing item either as main culprit or accomplice. Please Fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY :(

*2020-04-14, version 2.1*

You should have a “How to play” or “tutorial” options for player who don’t understand the game. There are a bunch of numbers and you have to find the guilty, I don’t understand how. 

Thanks

### 1/5 — Not working iPhone X

*2019-09-21, version 2.0*

Solo mode is not working.  Next button doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Language!?!

*2019-07-19, version 1.0*

How do I put it to English language?!?

### 2/5 — Next button doesn’t work in solitaire mode:-(

*2019-09-26, version 2.0*

Please fix the next button not working!

### 5/5 — Convidados indesejados

*2025-06-15, version 4.9.1*

Após adquirir convidados indesejados BOARD GAME use esse app para solucionar seus casos! Muito bom!

### 5/5 — polecam

*2025-03-31, version 4.9.1*

Bardzo polecam. Nie jest to gra na telefon a jedynie pomoc do gry planszowej. Jeżeli nie macie z kim zagrać ta gra to ułatwia, dlatego można zagrać samemu.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-01-01, version 4.9.1*

We ran out of beginner sets, and I loved how you could change it from the different difficulties and it was perfect. Use no glitches.

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel, Tolle App

*2024-11-29, version 4.9.1*

Es ist nicht selbstverständlich für so ein „kleines“ Spiel eine App  zu haben. Die App ist aber total übersichtlich, sinnvoll und einfach nur toll. Ich bin sehr dankbar dass der Hersteller eine App entwickelt hat. Danke!

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2024-02-01, version 4.8.1*

Obviamente você precisa do jogo! Está funcionando perfeitamente!

### 5/5 — Works just fine

*2022-08-17, version 4.7*

I have played a few games and love using the app. It has a ton of different cases (and different difficulty levels) and I love the fact that if you guess wrong you can still be in the game. I haven’t tried solo mode, but multiplayer works just fine! A must have to accompany the board game (really fun game, better than Clue in my opinion).

### 5/5 — Does the job

*2020-11-13, version 2.3*

A good app for a great game- a bit rough around the edges but it works and I’m really glad they built this

### 5/5 — Maybe give it a second, jeez.

*2019-08-09, version 2.0*

App is barely out of the womb and most people don’t even have the game yet. Still, someone felt it necessary to give it a one star rating. Slow down there Ebert.

### 5/5 — Juhuuuu

*2019-08-09, version 2.0*

I am so happy the app is finally there. We love the game and I really like how the deck building is organized as it is ordered in the box. Very well done! We just want to play again.

And it was in English right away.

### 4/5 — Works.....But could be better

*2021-04-05, version 2.3*

I use this app while playing the game with others to prevent player elimination. It works, but wish the app would tell you the guess was wrong. Instead, it just goes blank. When correct, it tells you, and celebrates. That little fix would clear things up. 

The design for small scrolls was odd, it works, but opening it to pick might have been a little better.
