### 2/5 — Kinda good

*2019-12-24, version 1.3*

Played this on clue, said my weapon was the murder weapon, then it said the murder weapon was in someone’s hand.

### 2/5 — Outdated for a paid app

*2018-11-14, version 1.3*

The rooms do not match the rooms in our game. We have a kitchen, bathroom, office, bedroom, courtyard, game room, garage, living room, and dining room. The flip side is a boardwalk with Ferris wheel, jet ski rental, beach, beach house, arcade, and surf shop. Would be good if names could be adjusted accordingly. We were excited to try the app to use in place of paper. My kids and I play the game frequently.

### 3/5 — Gamer

*2017-04-16, version 1.2*

Not bad.

### 2/5 — Definitely has potential!

*2016-09-03, version 1.1*

I like the whole idea behind this app. I tried to use it last night with our brand-new clue game. At first, I realized that I did not have the "traditional" board game. It would be nice if the developer of this app would include empty places to fill-in for new replacement rooms on other new Clue board games. The other problem that I had was this, the app requires you to give and exact number of cards to each player. We only had five players, so, the three cards in the clue file folder left us with an odd amount of cards that did not complete the "18" cards they were looking for so that the amount would be even for every player. I hope the developers continue to work with this, because it could be the best thing ever when playing the game clue. I am upset that they charged money for this app when it's not completed or fully functional. Please do us all a favor who paid money to have an app that should work for its intended use. If the creators of this app need people to test new trial versions please sign me up.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPad & I'm hunting down a refund .....

*2016-08-13, version 1.1*

..... Which is proving difficult!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-07-23, version 1.1*

App got stuck on the first round. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER

*2016-07-16, version 1.1*

It doesn't deserve one star for the following reasons. Once it decides who, what, where it won't change its choices. It will decide even though there are one or more other possibilities that says it's not held by anyone. 

It calculates it's guess in one color and everything else is another color. There is no separate color for when someone has a card and when no one has a card or might have a card. 

It marks players having a card that don't have that card.

The only thing that works is the old fashion checking off what you have and what was shown to you but you can't make any notes. So it is totally worthless. A waste of time, money and space.

### 1/5 — Should Have Read The Reviews First

*2016-07-12, version 1.1*

This game needs some serious updates!!! Can't get past "suggestion"!!! Ug!!!!!!!😡😡

💣😣🔫

### 1/5 — Waste of $$

*2016-07-09, version 1.1*

Can't get past first suggestion. Total fart of a game. 7/8/16

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!

*2016-06-21, version 1.1*

This app just does not work! No way to track if people try to solve and does not track properly. It switched what was "100%" on the answer in middle of game. Don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Shame on you!

*2016-06-05, version 1.1*

This app simply doesn't work. App support (yea right) goes to a lame Twitter feed. Booooo! Can't get past first page. Must use 18 cards and divide evenly between players but you can't divide 18 by 4 or 5 which are a common number of players. Morons!

### 1/5 — Stuck in the middle

*2016-05-23, version 1.1*

It doesn't work, I start putting the info in and it won't continue it is stuck in the middle. Also to get app support you need to have Twitter account and I don't want to sign up so I can get help. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Refund

*2016-05-20, version 1.1*

Do not download or buy until fixed useless game will not go passed next in suggestions 5/20/16

### 1/5 — Not the game

### 1/5 — Will Change Review to Add More Stars Upon Update

*2019-04-25, version 1.3*

I don’t understand why this would be so outdated. 

I literally have the classic version, just not the original. This means characters and rooms are the same with the exception of new additions, like Dr. Orchid. You literally can’t purchase the original in stores anymore.

There should be an option to add/change the rooms, weapons, and characters. I don’t understand why you can’t customize the app seeing that it simply runs algorithms to calculate who absolutely does and does not have what cards. 

Customization should really be an option in this app. I mean, it even saves the developers time seeing as they don’t have to update it to include new cards EVER.

I already paid for the app, but I’d be willing to pay up to 5x the price I did for it to simply be customizable so that it works for any version. 

I left 1 star because it isn’t compatible with my game, even though I have the updated classic version (the one available in store). I will update my review pending a response that goes over plans to capitalize on this, or an update to include customization.

### 1/5 — Poison not included

*2017-11-24, version 1.3*

There is no poison as weapon. It guessed the weapon was a card I was holding. Does not work.

### 1/5 — Waste of cash

*2017-05-01, version 1.2*

As per older reviews, this app has told me that the knife was the murder weapon, 100%, only it also said the knife was one of my cards. Absolutely rubbish

### 1/5 — Needs an update.

*2017-05-01, version 1.2*

When I show a card to someone It tells that I showed a card, but recognized it as unknown. I think I know what card I showed, therefore it's not unknown. It would also be nice to see at a glance what has been played or needs to be played on a sheet. % is nice but seeing an opportunity to solve multiple counter cards solved at same time would improve the odds of winning.

### 1/5 — Does NOT work

*2016-12-11, version 1.1*

Wish I had of read the reviews before purchasing. Does not work, freezes until you have to start all over again!

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2016-11-26, version 1.1*

Inflexible, hard-to-use and basically a waste of money.

### 1/5 — FIX THIS!!!

*2016-11-11, version 1.1*

this app is terrible. When you hit the next turn and fill the selections out it won't let you cancel or hit next to move forward. Fix this

### 1/5 — Total fraud!

*2016-10-22, version 1.1*

I want my money back! Even though is not expensive, it's still a rob. It does not worth the quater of a star, but AppStore doesn't allow to leave it Blanc

### 1/5 — Buggy, hangs on some screens.  Incompatible with other Clue versions.

*2016-10-02, version 1.1*

I feel like this developer just stole a dollar from me.

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2016-08-20, version 1.1*

It's new turn feature does not work. The basic pad works fine though.

### 5/5 — Never lose

*2026-03-21, version 2.0.0*

I always win when I use this app to play Clue with my friends. It’s fantastic.

### 5/5 — Ignore my other review!

*2022-09-23, version 1.3*

It works great! Of course there are only 18 cards. 3 are in the envelope! Duh.

### 5/5 — Made Winning Easier

*2017-06-17, version 1.2*

I thought this app was excellent!  The update made this work better.  I even won the last game I played!

### 5/5 — Horrible

*2016-01-18, version 1.0*

I would give it is zero but it doesn't let me. You think you're going to play clue but you actually it ends up freezing. The game freezes after you put in everything it freezes and then you and get out of the game. No it freezes again so I would never buy this product EVER!!!!!

### 5/5 — HORRIBLE

*2015-12-09, version 1.0*

Gave this game zero starts but it wouldn't let me rate it zero. 
It started out promising and then it went downhill from there. Kept freezing at the suggestion section and would let just one person play.

### 5/5 — Optimize the app please!

*2015-07-28, version 1.0*

The 50th edition of clue does have a bottle of poison which this app does not support please add an option to enable this!

### 5/5 — HORRIBLE

*2015-07-03*

I give this game a -zero but it won't let me do zero so I put all the stars it doesn't work and I paid 99 cents and it is a horrible game when u go into the suggestion part it freezes the screen and I have to ex out of everything the game doesn't work and it is the worst game I have ever played

### 5/5 — HORRIBLE

*2015-03-05*

I give it 0 stars, but it will never show mine if I give it 0. This game is terrible. I mean I bought this game because no one else in the house plays clue so I wanted to play with computers, but no. You have to have 3-6 players to play the game? let me just say don't waste your time on a horrible game. There are better things you can spend that 99 cents on.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2014-08-17, version 1.0*

This works perfectly. I brought this so that my 7 year old son could learn to play. I have tried it 3 times and it was right every time. There are a lack of instructions though and it rely's on intuition. 

NOTE: when listing the players you need to put them in the order of play. It does not matter who plays first only that the sequence of players is listed correctly. I think this is why some people say that the game doesn't work as it uses the order of players to eliminate cards.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2014-07-21*

Change the name of the app though, it isn't the game.  Almost seems like cheating to use this.  Used twice and won both times easily.  Had all info before anyone else was even close.
