## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-18*

Can’t find the host game on the other person’s phone

### 4/5 — Freezes a lot but a wonderful gameplay setup

*2021-10-04*

Really great as a functional concept, game freezes whenever you click the x on the prompt or try to start a new game. Love it with airplay functionality, would love if it didn’t freeze so much.

### 4/5 — Works alright but some problems

*2021-09-15*

Would like join codes for multiple devices not connected to internet. Would like custom word banks.
Also had a problem with iPad and iPhone on newest version with iPhone being the host and iPad not being able to select words

### 4/5 — clean implementation

*2020-03-28*

Very thoughtfully designed. Hope the designer tackles the two player version of the game next.

### 5/5 — Seriously excellent 😍

*2021-12-28*

Just works perfectly

### 5/5 — Fun and true to the original!

*2020-03-29*

Cypher is a great game that is inspired by code words. I find it actually easier to play with two phones than it is with the board.

The game is designed well and very intuitive. Props to the developer for making multiplayer so easy.

I highly recommend cypher for your next party!

### 5/5 — Fun and easy to play

*2020-02-10*

I played this with my roommate and it’s just like the Codenames board game! Looking forward to taking this on the road. 😊
