App was a lot of fun to play with friends! No ads, very simple user interface, and overall a useful and well designed app!

### 1/5 — Can’t save list you make

*2026-09-11*

My friends and I were playing Draft Circle. and every time we played music, it was ALWAYS DUA LIPA. So, we decided to use the “Create Your Own” feature. After spending 30 minutes building a custom list and finally playing it — which was really fun — we ran into a major problem: it didn’t save, and we weren’t about to spend another 30 minutes all over again. On top of that all settings don’t even save making us waste more time. looking forward to new updates

### 5/5 — Good game
