Didn’t even work ### 1/5 — Words repeat/not ordered per round *2020-04-23, version 2.0.4* The game is supposed to allow you to go through all the words per round (once for catchphrase, once for password, and once for charades) but for my group, it went through the same words multiple times in the catchphrase round and wouldn’t see other words until the very last round. The apps functionality is really good, but they need to fix this bug cause it ruins the actual game. ### 1/5 — Won’t work idk why! *2020-03-21, version 1.4.1* Whenever me and my friends all enter a game, enter our words, and click next to start the game, it says “more words needed” even though we’ve maxed out the number of words everyone can enter. Really want this to work with all this social distancing happening!!! **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback and I’d love to get this fixed for you and everyone. Did you have 4 or players entering words? Do you mind emailing me at appsbysb@gmail.com with more details about your game so I can get straight to the bug? Thanks! ### 2/5 — Too many glitches *2020-08-22, version 2.1.1* Need to clean up the app usability ### 2/5 — Fun idea, but didn’t work great *2020-04-14, version 2.0.1* I love this game in real life! But, when trying to play it via this app long distance, it crashed multiple times, and had numerous errors, once in which everyone was listed twice. ### 2/5 — Fun but glitches *2020-04-14, version 2.0.1* This app was fun while it was working but shortly into the game it kicked all of us out. The app kept crashing and is not compatible with androids. ### 3/5 — Very Buggy *2020-09-07, version 2.1.1* Repeats the same words in a single round when it shouldn’t. Some other bugs too ### 3/5 — Hm... *2020-04-26, version 2.0.5* Ok, well, me and my friends were trying to play this game, and while we were playing, it kept glitching us out. Also, the words would come back again and again. But besides that, the game was perfectly fine ### 3/5 — So close *2020-04-23, version 2.0.4* Words kept repeating! I think it was so everyone would have a turn the first round but it shouldn’t repopulate words. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on Android *2020-04-14, version 2.0.1* As above, ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game for groups *2020-04-18, version 2.0.2* Best game east of the Mississippi and west of the Nile ### 5/5 — Big improvements *2020-04-18, version 2.0.2* This game is so stable now! Great job updating the app! ### 5/5 — Great group fun! *2020-04-18, version 2.0.2* Works really smoothly, lots of fun! Been playing with my friends over video chat. Great times in quarantine! ### 5/5 — Super fun, no more issues! *2020-04-15, version 2.0.2* Previously the app had crashed, but after the recent updates we were able to play without issues. So fun! Very useful during quarantine but will definitely also use once we are no longer under lockdown. Thanks! ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2020-04-08, version 2.0.1* This app is so fun to play with my friends and family! You can play over video chat so it’s been awesome to have a great game to play during quarantine! Well done! ### 5/5 — Please make social distancing friendly! *2020-04-03, version 1.4.2* Wanted to play with my coworkers, but then we realized only one person could see the clues. Please make social distancing friendly so we can see clues when appropriate from different locations. ### 5/5 — Small Update request! *2020-03-28, version 1.4.2* LOVE your APP but had one question for you. During tough times like these we have been trying to find ways to stay connected with our friends. Fish Bowl is one of my favorite games to play with my friends and we were trying to download the APP so we can play. However, current version only allows one person to see the word clues and there isn't a way to share the clues with the rest of the group since we are all socially distancing ourselves. Wanted to reach out to see if there was a feature that could be added so we can all share the clues ( IE: people in different houses can see and act/say the words) ### 5/5 — Option to access the game from different phones *2020-03-19, version 1.4.1* Hi! This app seems great. But due to social distancing, my family is separated and we would like to play on Google Hangouts. Is there a way that all the phones in the game can take turns accessing the play round? This way we don't all have to be in the same location (and sharing the same phone) to play! ### 5/5 — Fixed! Another update? *2019-07-11, version 1.2* Thanks for adding the feature to choose your own teams! This app is great! Could i ask for you to allow one "pass" during a player's turn? So if they don't know one of the words, they could pass it and it would remain in play for the next player. Also, there's another rule where, if the timer runs out and the team doesn't guess the word, the other team has a chance to steal. So if the timer runs out, the game could ask "steal" and have a yes or no option. If yes, the other team gets a point and the word is taken out of play. If no, the game continues with the word still in play. Thanks for this great app!! **Developer response:** Your wish is my command! Update your app for the ability to edit teams now! Thanks for feedback :) ### 4/5 — Can you make it for Android too??? *2020-04-11, version 2.0.1* We’ve got Android users who can’t play remotely!!!
