### 4/5 — Помогите!

*2018-05-19*

Как поменять язык с английского на русский

### 2/5 — Used to be fun, now just glitches

*2016-03-07*

I had this game about a year or so ago and it was great. I recently downloaded on my new phone as a way to kill time, and I'm aggravated beyond belief. Every single round, I'm forced to use a flashlight or something else to help "find" the item, just because the game won't accept it if I clicked endlessly on the found object. So not worth the effort anymore. Deleting off my device

### 4/5 — Исправьте

*2015-09-18*

Не берутся предметы в локациях. После последнего обновления пропал Русский язык. Игра очень интересная.

### 3/5 — 😡

*2015-09-07*

Problems when you tap on items from list ... And it kicks me out every time I try to do a new case ..

I also tried to email the app support and it returned the email saying there's no such user 😡😡

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2015-09-02*

Agree with all who have written about the irritation of the program not recognizing taps on items

If you lose your mind and play long enough to get to level 22 and finish the case there, you cannot get to the case area to get the clue.  Click on end - game crashes.  Click on the finished games icon (which clearly shows you have 1 case waiting) the game crashes

### 1/5 — VERY ANNOYING

*2015-07-14*

Waste energy on scenes when you are tapping on the items and it doesn't take it waste of time. Tired of glitches too. Worst game ever.

### 2/5 — Есть баги

*2015-07-05*

Постоянно баги с найденным предметом. Сколько не нажимаешь-он не берется.Удаляю по этой причине.

### 4/5 — Хорошая игра

*2015-06-28*

Не дает новых заданий.. Я все прошел?
Часто проигрываю из-за того, что вижу предмет, а сколько его не тыкаю, взять не получается, исправьте, пожалуйста. Iphone5s. Спасибо.

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2015-06-25*

Terrifying. You can't actually click on some objects, so they make you use hints (which eventually you will need to buy) and only then you can interact with objects. Interface is awful.

### 1/5 — Annoyed

*2015-05-24*

I wrote 2 reviews and both got deleted because the user name is taken. So short story
Last coins when trying to build and didn't have enough items in second screen. Don't close out that screen you will lose coins if you can't finish building. 
Glitches galore especially with partially hidden items 
Energy seems to be used up twice as fast. 
Update made the game worse.

### 4/5 — Crime scene mystery

*2015-04-01*

One of the missions glitched out and I can't finish the case. Not fair people!!!!

### 2/5 — Crime scenes

*2015-03-27*

Pretty fun, but now when I tap on an object, it doesn't acknowledge it so the scene times out.  Fix it!  A couple of weeks later and the problem still isn't fixed.  This is ridiculous!  You should be able to tap on an object partially obscured by another one and have it get picked up....turning out to be lame...

### 3/5 — New scene

*2015-03-25, version 1.0.8*

When is next scene going to open? Have been waiting for months!

### 3/5 — Temperamental!

*2015-03-08*

Good game but sometimes I'm selecting the objects and it doesn't find them, then I have to waste special items to show me them before it lets me select...please fix this!

### 1/5 — Crime scene

*2015-01-17, version 1.0.8*

Don't waste your time with this P.O.S. app. Do any other crime app. More frustrating than worth. The only reason I gave it a star is so I could post this review, good thing you can't rate negative star!

### 3/5 — Disappointed (Not Too Much)

*2015-01-05*

I Click on the app icon to load up the app but it won't load. So i tried deleting the app and re - downloading it but it still wont work. I've heard its a good game so i am not going to quit trying. Please give best advice to fix this

### 1/5 — Мова

*2019-03-19, version 1.0.9*

Як змінити мову?

### 1/5 — So aggravating.

*2018-11-24*

Taps don’t work on objects clearly visible. I’m sure it’s only to get you to spend $$ on the game. Won’t happen. Try something else.

### 1/5 — Русский язык

*2017-01-28*

Игра не поддерживает русский язык!!!!хотя производитель говорит что поддерживает !!!! Ни каких настроек по смене языка нет!!!!

### 1/5 — Игра

*2016-12-31*

Что за бред? Почему пишут что игра на русском, хотя это не так? Даже настроек нет, чтоб изменить язык. Ужас...

### 1/5 — Гавно

*2016-12-08*

Нет русского языка!!!

### 1/5 — Ужасно

*2016-08-29*

Включила игру и не могла найти смену языка

### 1/5 — язык💩💩

*2016-04-23*

зачем писать, что игра поддерживает русский язык, если это не так. никаких настроек даже не нашла, чтобы поменять язык.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2016-01-30*

Taps don't work half the time, they jumble words when your to find the item and it's timed. In case your wondering not appropriate for kids.

### 1/5 — Too aggravating to be fun

*2015-12-29*

Too confusing. I lost the goal of the game because it just doesn't make sense. And you can wear out your finger tapping and it won't recognize that you are correct! How the know when you finish because you have it to do over again. And I hate the flash light part looking for clues! 
This is a continuation of review at a later date. Finally just removed it from device. The whole thing has too many glitches and the point of game has been lost on me. I have looked at same scenes too many times . And finger is tired from tapping something that doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Frustrating- items not clickable

*2015-07-17*

As other reviewers have pointed out, we are wasting tons of time trying to click on items that the game won't recognize. Even timing out. Worst. Glitch. Ever.
