### 5/5 — :)

*2026-06-20, version 4*

It’s so magical, 
I’ve had like 5 phones and bits is the first thing I download every time.

### 4/5 — Great app, but audio doesnt work nowadays

*2026-05-23, version 4*

Greetings programs! When i was younger this app brought me so much joy, but since it hasnt gotten an update in 10 years, unfortunately the audio doesnt work (doesnt say yes or no) really hoping that bit gets updated soon. End of line.

### 5/5 — A Perfect App

*2026-02-12, version 4*

There are no ads. I’ve never experienced a glitch. It doesn’t require internet in any way. It hardly consumes any battery. The odds are perfectly 50/50. Bit is basically just a coin toss, but after using it for a while it almost grows a personality. Bit will help you decide where to eat, which pastry looks best in the case, and which shoes to wear. I love my Bit.

### 2/5 — Shower bit

*2026-01-26, version 4*

This is next level when me and my brother don’t know who should take a shower I just use the bit. It chooses me or my brother. Tonight it chose my brother. And he wants it.

### 5/5 — Love this little guy

*2026-01-15, version 4*

Oddly comforting to have Bit on my phone.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2025-12-15, version 4*

Would kind to hear the yes or no, but can’t.

### 5/5 — I <3 this app

*2025-11-16, version 4*

I have had this app since I had my first phone when I was little, I am an adult now and I still have this app, and I’m so glad it is still available and working. 

It’s basically a magic 8 ball and I love using it to make decisions or even just pressing it a bunch to watch it go “YES NO YES NO YESYES NO” whenever I’m bored

### 4/5 — Fun but could be even better

*2025-10-17, version 4*

Would be even better if bit could respond to audio questions if you ask it something rather than manually having to press it. Even a bit of randomization in its responses where it also does the yesyesyesyes or noononono

### 4/5 — Simple yet awesome!

*2025-10-16, version 4*

I love Tron and this is such a simple idea executed perfectly. Fun when trying to make decisions!

### 5/5 — Bit’s a lot more than the name entails

*2025-10-15, version 4*

Simply: it’s a lot more than a Bit of entertainment to hold. It’s a watered down magic 8 ball from a movie years before my time, but it’s also a really. Good. Movie. So having this just ups the cool factor for me. You don’t have to be in a tank to make this thing’s responses interesting, it’s good for just about anywhere to just dork around. You got these AI chatbots left and right promising such minutiae and this little dude’s throwing you all out on the water with it’s ‘yes’ and ‘no’s.
