### 1/5 — Not a fan of this app

*2020-05-06, version 2.0*

I’m not sure if I just don’t understand the app but I don’t think that there are invisible buttons! I wouldn’t waste your money on this app if I was you.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-01-04, version 1.0*

Crashes won't open !

### 5/5 — Hahaha! This one is good!

*2010-02-11, version 0*

Tried this on some unsuspecting people and they were baffled at the fact my iPod Touch could detect what coin is in their hand! You can afford to do this trick more than twice but they will figure it out if you do it more than that. Still great tho!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2009-09-17, version 0*

Simple and easy to use, a fun magic trick.

### 5/5 — Cool App

*2009-09-06, version 0*

This app is really cool for tricking people. Good graphics.
