### 2/5 — I have a headache, thanks

*2022-08-02, version 1.0.1*

I enjoy the look of it but it didn’t really work. I was at the eight ball stage, and I followed the steps best I could and it did nothing, it just sat there condescendingly. I honestly do think the app has potential but this is just a badly made app

### 3/5 — Not working

*2022-07-28, version 1.0.1*

Not 100% sure if I did something wrong, but it won’t let me get past the instructions and it was very annoying. I got so tired of trying that I just deleted the app. I wouldn’t recommend but you can still try it out if you desire too

### 2/5 — Looks And Sounds Like ST, But Very Difficult To Use

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.1*

I’ll give it an extra star for the effort it made to get the Stranger Things vibe right. But frankly, all I want to do is buy a pizza and the app isn’t letting me do that. I’ve nodding my head down, as it suggests, but rarely will it interact with an object as intended. Then there’s the fact it only does Easy Orders and I can’t seem to create one in the app without creating and buying it online first.

So, sound and visuals are nice, but I couldn’t get it to work as intended or order a pizza.

### 2/5 — Couldn’t even order it

*2022-07-22, version 1.0.1*

I am a big Stranger Things fan so I decided to try out Mind Ordering. I loved all the references and the app totally fit the vibe of Stranger Things. The problem is ordering the pizza. When I was in the void and the pizza was 100 percent, and it said that this is the part where my order would be placed. The confirmation email didn’t send, and no money was taken out of my account. I eventually just downloaded the actual Domino’s app and ordered there.

### 2/5 — What am I doing wrong? 😑

*2022-07-18, version 1.0.1*

I can’t get past the part where they want you to move the ball with your mind. I wasn’t able to move the ball at all. I even went in a lit room. I can see my face move, but it’s not moving the ball. I followed the instructions. I was so disappointed because I was so excited for this game. Can you order anything or just a regular cheese pizza? 🍕

### 2/5 — Won’t let me use my correct email+password

*2022-07-15, version 1.0.1*

It wont even let me use my correct email password, no matter how many times I typed it in. I don’t know what was happening but it was extremely frustrating, just trying to log in.

### 4/5 — They may be doing self learning AI

*2022-07-08, version 1.0.1*

With Google and other social media tracking us for our buying habits and advertising (just helping us with shopping right - lol) may be dominos has released this to track our Dominos buying habits for the app and gather data on us then eventually using analytics and adaptive learning AI engine they hope to help us buy what we want more easily.  And the game may be just a funny way to help them understand how, what, how many times we think of pizza and if we do think pizza are we thinking dominos :).  This is mining and analyzing Information Age after all.  Hey eventually we have something that will send us pizza just by opening the app.  For a single person or a young couple (no kids) this would be much easier to accomplish.  :). Who knows. Future is out there oooooooooo……

### 3/5 — Ehh

*2022-07-04, version 1.0.1*

It’s alright. I never could order an actual pizza. It kept sending my order to the upside then would just repeat the whole thing. 

If you haven’t tried it, for sure try it. It’s a fun short little game. Just don’t expect to be truly getting a pizza.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything…

*2022-06-29, version 1.0.1*

I don’t expect an app to actually be able to tell me what pizza I’m thinking of, and this app literally didn’t do anything!  It just sat there after the forever long instructions.  Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — No Stars

*2022-06-26, version 1.0.1*

What bothers me is how they put up things like this without beta testin. Just horrible . Don’t do beta on 100 people and feel like your app works. You need to test it across and figure it out and if it is a failure then fix it but don’t go on just uploading it. It is sad and really make me feel sad about it

### 2/5 — Can’t work

*2022-06-24, version 1.0.1*

It’s an interesting gimmick with great theming. But, it uses the back camera, so you can’t look at the screen to see if your face is lined up. It can’t work that way and you can’t flip cameras. 
Flop app.

### 2/5 — Can’t even get in to order

*2022-06-22, version 1.0.1*

I don’t normally rate apps, but this one is so bad, that I had to. I enjoy the synth music, so it gets a second star for that, but it doesn’t let you automatically put your password in, and won’t let you cut and paste. So this supposed mind reading app can read what I’m thinking it should do with itself for thinking I should go back and forth from the app to my passwords to type in the stupidly long password that my phone picked out for me. Wtaf, y’all. Do better

### 1/5 — It’s obviously fake or is it?

*2022-06-18, version 1.0.1*

I tried it multiple times it didn’t work but it might just be that I’m using an iPad but iPad it just keeps saying that three things in order for it to work I did those three things and it still didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Awful if I could I would give it no stars

*2022-09-04, version 1.0.1*

I downloaded this game two times each time it did not work 
I got into the game and it had problems the first thing u had to do was look into a mirror and the game described how to do it and I did it perfectly and it did not work. I tried it on my family and it did not work on any of them. Idk if it was just because I did it on my iPad or if this game just doesn’t work. ☹️😡😡

### 1/5 — Mirror

*2022-08-14, version 1.0.1*

At the very beginning of the app you have to put your face in the mirror so they can identify you but maybe it’s just mine but it is always not in selfie mode and I can’t change it so I am forced to go on the mirror and it still doesn’t work

### 1/5 — *HUGE SCAM DONT DOWNLOAD*

*2022-08-09, version 1.0.1*

Where do I begin, this app has cost me years on my life from stress. I was suffering from severe mental illness and my body had 3 weeks before it spotaniously conbusted. I downloaded this app hoping to get my mind back by ordering a pizza with it. It turns out that this was a huge lie, and once I found out all mental illnesses doubled in severity and I had 3 days to live. I have four more hours thanks a lot DOMINOS. REAL CLASSY!

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2022-08-08, version 1.0.1*

The ads make you want to try it, but it really isn’t as cool as it sounds. All you do is move your head up or down. It also just sends you to the upside down over and over. What’s the point of this of you just loop the user. I feel like this app was just another way to take data from you. Don’t even bother.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-08-06, version 1.0.1*

The camera is facing the opposite direction and I can’t change it and even when I flip around my phone it keeps on saying we need to see you to see your brain wave whatever this is just pathetic

### 1/5 — It’s not what you think

*2022-07-29, version 1.0.1*

Honestly it was a good idea but the execution was horrible because if you are a thicker person it doesn’t notify your head being down or across correctly so you’re gonna be sitting there trying to find a perfect position the idea and the crossover was nice but it’s just not good quality and if they actually fix the problem it would be better also you can’t actually submit order it’s like basically impossible I tried it just doesn’t work so they have a lot of problems that they need to fix like they need to fix the problem with it’s your thick it won’t identify your neck and the problem with the actual order

### 1/5 — Littered with bugs! Not worth to download!

*2022-07-29, version 1.0.1*

Horrible face tracking, rendering of the video fails regularly and the app menus go to a black screen so frequently we need to ask ourselves. Did they even test the product before putting it on the store? Very disappointing app and my bar was low.. If they asked a bunch of questions and ordered a pizza for me,I would’ve been happy but instead they went for a gimmicky approach where the underlying tech is buggy at best! Save yourselves time from using this app!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2022-07-07, version 1.0.1*

It analyzed my facial and head movements and after it was done, I had to move something with my mind and I couldn’t get it to work not matter what head movements I did. Waste of time. Boring. Disappointment as a Stranger Things fan. Will never order Domino’s again.

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2022-07-03, version 1.0.1*

I knew it was bogus from the get go and can’t even get past picking up the 8 ball. I figured it being domino’s the app it would be as bad as their pizza and I was right so if you’re looking to lose 10 mins of you’re life go for it but I say stay away don’t download it and just call Pizza Hut or poppa johns because their way better anyways.

### 1/5 — Literally doesn’t work

*2022-06-30, version 1.0.1*

I downloaded this to order a pizza for the Stranger things premiere tonight and it would not recognize my face, or any of my family; And when I finally got it to work it kept popping up error messages. The idea is very fun, but definitely needs to be worked on a bit more.

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2022-10-04, version 1.0.1*

So I really love Stranger Things so I had to download it and when I download it I really didn’t get used to it that much but then when I start playing it and playing it it start getting fun so I think you should download this game and see what it’s all about so if you have a watch Stranger Things you have to go watch it like so many people watch stranger things like 122 people watch Stranger Things that’s what I’m saying but anyways do you think it’s more wheels or doors I think is more wheels because you know from stranger things it’s a guy named wheel so I think is more wheels bye-bye my little friend

### 5/5 — Good but needs fixes

*2022-07-13, version 1.0.1*

So it is good but when I put my face in the mirror it says we can’t see you and your not really makeing orders it’s just for fun so it still fun but needs fixes

### 5/5 — Fun Stuff

*2022-07-03, version 1.0.1*

Not sure why it got so many bad reviews. I didn’t go through the process of actually preserving a pizza, but I had a lot of fun in the practice mode. It’s meant to be a fun, simple, weird app and I feel it performs as expected solely for a marketing stunt.

### 5/5 — For fun

*2022-07-03, version 1.0.1*

I took it at face value. I really wasn’t expecting anything to happen. I just wanted to test it out for fun cause that’s sort of the whole point. I obviously knew it wasn’t gonna actually read my mind and guess my pizza. It’s based off a show that has a lot of fans. I thought it was fun to navigate. I didn’t have any issues with the Face ID part

### 5/5 — Pretty Cute!

*2022-07-02, version 1.0.1*

Overall: I didn’t have high expectations from a Dominos app, so it was easy for them to satisfy me. I like the app :) very simple and good, short fun! Given my expectations it’s 5/5 stars. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn’t actually order a pizza, I just tried the “for fun” option or whatever it’s called. This isn’t the right word, but I’m not sure of a better one… it was really cute! It’s a short experience but fun anyways. I just finished season 4 vol 2 last night so I’m still a bit hyped for Stranger Things, and this was like a little dessert to enjoy after the show. 

The technology this app uses is based on the same things Snapchat/TikTok/Instagram use where you can close your eyes/nod your head to make things happen, and they use it well. You do the same head movements characters in Stranger Things have used while using their powers, which is fun! 

There’s a small handful of easter eggs from the show hidden around the game, and that was fun to explore! It feels just as immersive as a haunted house on Halloween, or an escape room. Not too immersive but fun anyways :)

### 5/5 — It’s a fun game

*2022-06-26, version 1.0.1*

I haven’t tried the actually ordering feature, but the game is very fun. I wish there was more to do, and stare part is hard to get right sometimes. I showed it to my brother and he had a difficult time with the head motions.

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-06-21, version 1.0.1*

I just love playing around and just doing stuff and ordering pizza

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-06-04, version 1.0.1*

Not sure about the other reviews that say it doesn’t work, but I did it & it’s awesome! I tried it several times and it worked every time! Give it a shot! Just follow instructions :)

### 5/5 — Not compatible

*2022-05-29, version 1.0.1*

I don’t have an iPhone with Face ID so I don’t think my phone is compatible with this, cool concept tho. 5 stars

### 5/5 — Works great for me!

*2022-05-27, version 1.0.1*

I read some reviews saying it didn’t work well for them but i have zero issues placing my order! And it was really entertaining, i enjoyed it!
