Thwapped* ### 4/5 — I *feel* enlightened… *2014-01-22* Needs a button to copy the message (including it's attribution) to the clipboard. Oh, and I'm told I must contaminate the tennis ball immediately and report to the final authority. ### 5/5 — Awedome *2013-12-01, version 0* On this day in history, Hamlet muttered at the muggle boat ### 5/5 — The cheese *2013-11-17* I would tell you why I love this app but then they would kill you. The applesauce touched my cheese carrot. ### 5/5 — Best one yet *2013-09-15, version 0* Don't steal. The government hates the competition. Monitor this Dhead ### 5/5 — Fnord! *2013-03-10, version 0* Fnord questa app fnord tutti! Fnord. ### 5/5 — A font of wisdom *2012-10-12* It is unbelievable how prescient this app is. Download it now. ### 4/5 — Shoot the messenger from Hoboken... *2012-07-30* ...because you will no longer need his services once you have this app. All of my encrypted instructions come through loud and clear, thanks to the Fnorder. But you already knew that, of course. BTW AgentXYZZY: You must suppress the Hermetic anchovy before the Pope groks the blander snitch. ### 3/5 — FNORD *2012-05-30* You're not cleared for this knowledge. ### 2/5 — Um *2011-12-01, version 0* How come you can't ask it a question? ### 5/5 — Most excellent *2011-11-02, version 0* This is good for sparking ideas, and ussually good for a laugh. Or is it? Captain Ahab is the jet ski; the dentist flees to the Vatican. Do not fail us. ### 5/5 — The Power of 5? *2011-07-27* If you haven't played Illuminati: New World Order, or if you haven't read any of the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, then you will not 'GET' what this is all about. Yes, it is a 'random' phrase generator (seemingly) but that's what it's supposed to be. It's all about world conspiracies and very hard to describe in one sentence. To those in the know it does make sense... kinda. ### 5/5 — Randomly epic *2011-06-07* AWESOME AND RANDOM APP ### 5/5 — Resistance is Not Allowed *2011-05-08* Brings back memories of late night gaming sessions and consuming mass quantities... It is time to recover/replace my Steve Jackson Games collections and introduce my older children into non-electronic gaming of a quirky style. After a few sessions of Illuminati the news just isn't the same. The are plenty of things to make you say "Hmmm". Don't expect everything on the FNord App to make since as there are layers upon layers as in all effective conspiracies. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2010-12-29, version 0* Hail Eris! ### 5/5 — Fnord! *2010-12-18, version 0* Fnord! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Essential *2017-09-22* I have found no better way to get my important messages from the Illuminati on the go! This was great but does not run on iOS 11. Fix that & I’ll bump it back up to 5 stars! ### 1/5 — İllü abiğ *2014-09-12, version 0* Korktum aq bismillahirahmanirahim ok by .s ### 1/5 — I tried *2012-06-25, version 0* I really tried to like this I love SJ games but this is just stupid not even funny stupid just dumb ### 1/5 — Illuminati is going to kill me *2011-04-29, version 0* Illuminati is going to kill me cause of i've read everyhthing about them. Check out illuminati card game they are describing future there are some proofs like 9/11 and Tokio Earthquake. ### 1/5 — What's the point. *2010-07-27, version 0* Not worth the download... And I even like the actual card game... ### 1/5 — No sense *2009-08-25, version 0* I dont get this! Im not even into all that illumanati or watever! Boring!! ### 1/5 — Codswallop *2009-07-27* Just a crap random sentence generator. Not even illuminai themed phrases. ### 1/5 — ??? *2009-07-26* Confuso e nada interesante. ### 1/5 — 2mins of my life I can't get back *2009-04-28* Trying to be quirky but it's just pure rubbish, sad little geek phrases presented one after the other. Nothing to aim for, nothing to gain, just a waste of time. Who ever made this needs to get our more! ### 1/5 — Apps man was not meant to install! *2009-04-15, version 0* Even better than the old DOS app!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — When's the App going to open up for the Church of the Subgenius? *2023-05-02, version 2.0* This app is indeed intriguing. Like to see more updated content. I had a samsung 8 android but i couldn't help but smash it with a hammer so i could get an iphone and get this app. Bravo! I like how dead on in league the random gen must be. Seems like something larger is apparently at work here. Could of just been my paranoid imagination. 5 slack stars ### 5/5 — Seems simple but...! *2020-05-07* This seems like a simple random phrase generator, but once you activate Secret Illumination Mode it becomes an intriguing ARG ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2020-01-28* Even though there’re too much meaningless sentences not making sense, I can still find some wise “proverbs like” sentence in this app. Great way to know what illuminati is thinking about. ### 5/5 — Remember fortune cookies? *2019-04-26* That’s what this reminds me of: the little programs that gave us random messages when we logged in, back in the command line days. And it’s hilarious. I have just spent entirely too long playing with it. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T GET IT: This is not a game. Don’t expect it to be one; it isn’t. Don’t complain and down-rate it because it isn’t what it never pretended to be. It’s a fortune cookie app. And it’s not supposed to make sense. This is meant for a very specific subculture that plays certain games and reads certain books. If you are one of those people, you know and you get the jokes. If you’re got no clue what it’s all about, you’re not one; it’s an inside joke for people who are not you. And for the love of Eris, it’s free; don’t whine, just delete it. If you misunderstood what it is, or you don’t understand what’s going on, that’s because you’re not who it’s for. You’re rather like a Windows user who doesn’t get Mac jokes, or vise versa. ### 5/5 — Is there an update coming for ios11? *2017-10-13* Love the app!! ### 5/5 — Endorphin Proliferator *2017-05-13* Good for some chuckles by creating hilarious imagery. Will it be updated so it continues to run? ### 5/5 — Ṭһє ƿяȏȏғ ıṡ ıṅ ṭһє ғṅȏяԁ *2015-09-26* Absolutely love this app. it appeals greatly to my inner wombat, and keeps the Evil Tacos at bay. if that made any sense to you whatsoever, you probably don't smoke enough cotton. Don't be a normal. ҒṄȎЯԀ. ### 5/5 — Masonic *2014-06-02, version 0* My eyes ### 5/5 — A moral compass to insanity *2014-02-01, version 0* What this app isn't: a game. What this app is: or is it? ### 5/5 — Fergalicious! *2013-12-30, version 0* If you love random things, then this is the app for you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
