### 3/5 — Needs lndscape

*2026-07-07, version 2.16.0*

It would be must better if the game was in landscape like the steam deck version so you can keep your sheet open instead of having to constantly open and close that tab

### 4/5 — Why is it ALWAYS Peacock?

*2026-03-25, version 2.16.0*

I’m not sure if it’s just a glitch on my game but every single game, it’s always Ms. Peacock. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing. It’s fun but it takes the surprise out.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2026-02-11, version 2.16.0*

Fun to play, wish you could intervene with the other players and potentially be able to get to know them and make new friends.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-02-05, version 2.16.0*

It’s old school but I’m teaching my son and we both love it!

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2026-02-05, version 2.16.0*

Def. Worth the $6.99

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2026-01-24, version 2.16.0*

Zander

### 5/5 — Omg ties

*2026-01-24, version 2.16.0*

Lalala I lov game Lalala

### 4/5 — Great, but…

*2026-01-12, version 2.16.0*

I absolutely love Clue! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is that I wish there was a landscape orientation that I could play that looks like the Nintendo Switch version. Full player sheet on view at all times on the rightmost 20-25% of the screen, while the rest of the game was visible on the left. It’s hard for me to play without the player card being on full display all the time. I do love that it is cross platform with the Nintendo Switch version though!

### 3/5 — Not compatible with newer iPhones

*2026-01-11, version 2.16.0*

This game doesn’t work well if your phone has Dynamic Island as it cuts out players 2,3 and 4. These phones with Dynamic Islands have been out for awhile time to update the game.

### 5/5 — Densefog73

*2026-01-03, version 2.16.0*

I love this game !! I can’t get enough of it !!!
I just wanted to know though who is this random victim they keep killing LOL

### 5/5 — Perfect to play anytime!

*2026-01-02, version 2.16.0*

The digital version of Clue is so much fun! You can play anywhere, choose your character, create an online name, and play against the computer or real people online. The graphics, sound effects, and stormy mansion intro really set the mood. Plus, the digital scorecard makes gameplay super easy. No more waiting for game night, just open the app and play.🕵️🫆🔎

### 2/5 — ARE YOU KIDDING!!!

*2025-12-22, version 2.16.0*

People think this game is 5⭐️ and it’s more like throwing 6$ out the window and electricity these days like I’ve made an invention and I am only 8 it would help dr.  kind if they made copies but it can’t even be played right

### 4/5 — Good but needs improvements

*2025-12-21, version 2.16.0*

There should be a time limit. Sometimes you’ll sit there forever forcing a quit because someone is not playing. Additionally there should be an option to block so not to match up with these players in the future.

### 1/5 — Should be free to play

*2026-08-19, version 2.16.0*

Should be free to play

### 1/5 — Paid for Classic Board Bundle, now it’s gone

*2026-06-15, version 2.16.0*

I paid for the classic board bundle and all the characters that came with it (the board with the Art Deco rooms). I had the game offloaded from my iPad for a long while. I recently reinstalled the game and the bundle wouldn’t load for me. I went to settings and tapped on restore purchases, but it still wouldn’t load for me. The game even said that I already purchased that bundle. I updated the app, and now even that is gone, and it’s telling me to buy the classic board again! And what of the characters that came with it! I am being ripped off by Marmalade Studios!

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2026-06-15, version 2.16.0*

This game freezes too much. We tried playing it a couple times and it just becomes unresponsive in the middle of the game, this has happened multiple times we have never been able to finish the game because it always just freezes.

### 1/5 — Boring, with auto notes

*2026-02-22, version 2.16.0*

The best part of clue is taking notes and this game auto takes notes for you so it’s really boring. You don’t have to think at all

### 1/5 — Clue

*2026-01-26, version 2.16.0*

Isn’t fun after awhile

### 1/5 — No multiplayer unless you buy it for each player

*2026-01-17, version 2.16.0*

Cash grab, I can’t even play the game I bought.  I’m not going to play this game alone, that’s ridiculous.

### 1/5 — ridiculous!!

*2025-12-22, version 2.16.0*

$9.99 for the app and then you want people to pay for more characters and boards? you get one board and everything else costs money. contacting apple for a refund.

### 1/5 — Too much time when players drag

*2025-10-16, version 2.16.0*

This is a really fun game when you have other players that are engaged. But when you get just one player that drags on continuing after each turn, the game can take three times as long as it should. Players have way too much time to hit continue after each and every turn. It feels like it’s become a strategy for bad players to annoy other players into leaving the game. Because it works! I quit a game when I encounter one of these players because they are the worst and should be banned for abusing it.

### 1/5 — Solve warning

*2025-09-26, version 2.16.0*

I purchased the warning for when a player is about to solve the crime and the last 2 time’s I’ve played the game it hasn’t worked. What gives???
I also don’t see the peek at someone’s card button anymore! I paid for those features and now they are gone!

### 1/5 — Never play Again

*2025-07-04, version 2.10.1*

The game makes no sense. You can only play with AI if you don’t have six players. Horrible game.I hate this interpretation of clue cause I love the board game so much. This just makes me sick🤢

### 5/5 — Clue Is My Favorite Game
