### 1/5 — Only the map

*2026-04-18*

Doesn’t generate the board for users to use

**Developer response:** We're sorry, but that's not the companion app's intention. We recommend that you simply shuffle the deck of cards and put it randomly in the grid. If you wanted to play Codenames but didn't have the board game nearby, we strongly recommend checking out the Codenames app or Codenames online. Both are our official digital implementations of the game you can play on the go.

¿Tienen traducción al turco y al lituano y no lo tienen al español? ¿Es una broma, no? No lo puedo creer.

### 5/5 — 👍🏼

*2024-12-06*

Já gostava de jogar na web e agora poder jogar a qualquer momento online é demais! Aguardando a tradução para português também 🇧🇷 
Acho q poderia incluir uma forma de cancelar uma partida pois às vezes a outra pessoa abandona o jogo e fica ali na nossa tela inicial. Mas fora isso, ta top!
