### 4/5 — Problem signing up with Facebook.

*2020-07-05, version 5.0*

I haven’t tried this app, but I heard it’s good, according to the description. But there is one issue. When I sign up for the app to play games, I have a problem of loging in to my Facebook account to sign up. Is there going to be any enhancements to me, and other users to be able to sign up with their Facebook accounts? My password is correct despite me having that issue. Is there going to be a implementation in the future that for the next update for this app?

### 4/5 — Having a small issue

*2019-12-13, version 5.0*

I'm having A small issue with logging in. It shows me the  three buttons at the beginning but when I click on them, It won't do anything. I have played this before and I never had this issue. won't proceed. I click the terms and conditions button, nothing. I click the new player button, nothing, I clickthe returning player button, nothing.

### 3/5 — Angry player

*2019-08-17, version 5.0*

I've been playing word builder for a long time, but now it crashes every time I try to play, & my vertical navigation no longer works in battle cats! The 2 games I like I can't play.

### 4/5 — Problem With Ludo

*2019-03-21, version 5.0*

Hi! My name is Zoe and I'm a fifteen-year-old (physically at least) blind girl who enjoys this game. I'd just like to report something that has happened to me. Whenever I play Ludo and tap twice with two fingers to hear information about the board it hardly ever works. It just rolls the dice. Honestly I don't think we even need a two finger tap to roll the dice, there's a button right there to do it. I've only tried two player games of Ludo so far and liked them (even though I haven't won) but I'm scared to try four player because how can I keep up without seeing information on the board? Please fix.

PS: Wordwar is better than Battlecats in my opinion. So if you could give us the option to change the annoying cat sounds (in my opinion) back into the Wordwar sounds I'd appreciate that. Why were they two separate games anyway? I've still got Wordwar metals and pretty much have to earn them all again with Battlecats. Ugh!

PPS: Blind people like using stickers to so MAKE THEM ACCESSIBLE DARN IT! ☹️

### 4/5 — Not trying to be picky. I promise but

*2019-01-26, version 4.5*

There needs to be more games especially board games like Monopoly or something monopoly is fun how long have we had the same games? And also. Why don’t we get gold if we can’t buy anything with it I’m not trying to complain but what’s the point of getting gold if we’re not going to spend it on anything. There should be a bigger variety of games just giving a suggestion

### 4/5 — great app but could use more multiplayer support

*2018-12-29, version 4.4*

I'll start off by saying this app is a lot of fun, especially the word searches. However, I'd love for there to be more multiplayer games, especially uno and cards against humanity. Other than that, the game is fantastic.

### 3/5 — Highly Addictive

*2018-11-27, version 4.1*

I gave the app 3 stars because I have to practically pound my phone to a pulp to roll the dice in Ludo. Also I’m having trouble both joining and creating private Ludo rooms.  Other than that, I highly recommend it to all of my gaming friends because there are other fun games you can play by yourself.

### 4/5 — Great App! But Few Sugessions

*2018-11-22, version 4.1*

Hello there. I love this app. It is very fun and addictive. 
However I think there could be improvements. I know this just updated. However, the app still crashes on me a lot. 
Also I think a lot more games should be added like board games and card games. Or make a separate app for those kinds of games. Just an idea. 
Thanks for an awesome app

### 4/5 — Love this ap

*2018-11-15, version 3.06*

I have enjoyed playing word builder as well as others. However there are some problems. I found at least three places where a word that was asked for contained a letter not in the letter board. Two of these are tacos, and yearn. The a was not available. I have played all available levels

### 4/5 — 👍🏻

*2018-08-25, version 3.51*

I love this app and all of the games it offers. I really love Ludo Paluza, I’ve kind of been addicted to it. The only feature I would like to see is The option to choose a specific category on Hangman. Otherwise I give this app app 5 stars 😀

### 3/5 — Great app, but...

*2018-08-11, version 3.51*

Hi. I am so glad I have finally found an app with as many games as this one. I am a 13 year old blind gamer, and this has really made my day sometimes. I only have a few negative comments, and that is why my rating is low. First. this may be because of my older model iPhone, but I'll still mention this. I am playing on an iPhone 6S, and when opening the game sometimes there is extreme lag and other times it just crashes all together. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if it's my phone. Second. I think there should be a way to control the music volume. Because I like having music on, but it's just all around too loud for me. If this feature could be added that would be awesome. Third. I know another reviewer mentioned this in there review, but I'll still bring it up. Sometimes the touch gestures are very slow or do not respond to my finger. It isn't that big of an issue, but it can get annoying. Now enough with the negatives, onto some positive thoughts. I absolutely love that there are games, like these, that are coming out for iPhone/iPad/iPod users. It just makes me so happy to see that people are actually considering the blind community and making accessible games. It just makes my day to see these things. I love the design and interface all around, it's just so nice and addicting. I have really enjoyed dice world and hope to enjoy this game as much as I enjoy dice world. Thank you for reading, and I really hope my rating helped out.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2018-08-03, version 3.51*

This is a great application! It's accessible, which is a good thing for visually impaired gamers like myself. I just have a few questions/suggestions. First, in Word Builder, where is the Shuffle button? (Another player mentioned this in a review, but I couldn't see what the developer responded.) Second, in the game environments where Unity is used, (e.g. when playing Word Builder, Ludo Palooza, and Trivia Trail), the touch responsiveness isn't that good. For instance, sometimes when I double-tap or swipe the screen, I would have to have a few tries before my iPad recognized that I was double-tapping/swiping. Lastly, in the Unity gaming environments, there is next to no Braille support. I know this is inevitable for all Unity-based applications, but I can't even move around the game screen and manipulate controls with my Braille display. Can you please add an option for Braille display users so we can play the Unity-based games with our Braille displays? Overall, this application is amazing. It allows for fun, challenging games to be played by both sighted and blind individuals. Keep up the great work, developers! ☺️

### 1/5 — I can’t sign in

*2021-09-21, version 5.0*

I am a new player and the app is not allowing me to login with my Facebook profile. I keep getting an error message.

### 1/5 — A lot to say

*2021-07-14, version 5.0*

I really enjoy this app, but there’s a lot of things that I want to say, yes if this can be added you guys should band people if someone’s being mean to another person for those who are being mean, and, you guys should have moderators in the chat rooms to look and see what’s going on and monitor it, if this feature can be added, I really want you guys to put a microphone where you can talk to people through call and play games, like a lot of other gaming apps do, second of all I really wish you guys can you age do you age requirements, like on the sign in page, say for an example, someone’s 14, they have their own chat room with only 14-year-olds like that kind of stuff, second of all or third of all actually, you guys should make it where we can share screen on the cob, so we can do other things, third of all or fourth of all, you should add more games, keep the same games, but add more games and add more features, and also, you should make it well when we make our own chat room, we can leave them completely, instead of deleting them, and removing people who don’t want in the chat room, and third of all I mean sixth of all you should put on the privacy policy, no violence, you shouldn’t have violence on this app, lastly, you guys should update the app thank you for reading, please respond when you can

### 1/5 — App Concerns

*2021-01-09, version 5.0*

This app needs a lot of fixing. It is inaccurate, and it kicks me and my friends out of the app while we are in the middle of a game.

### 1/5 — Takes away games with no reason

*2018-06-21, version 3.1*

Had a word search game and paid to unlock it and now it's removed.

### 1/5 — Frustrating App

*2018-05-24, version 2.08*

I’m a full-time VoiceOver user and I find this app’s description misleading. Because I’m using an iPhone 7 with the latest Huboodle update installed as well as the latest iOS update installed on my phone. However I cannot get this game to work. I even purchased the add-free version which did not help either. Very disappointed!! Will be contacting Apple for a refund

### 2/5 — Good game but needs improvement

*2021-01-07, version 5.0*

This game is really good but I’ve noticed with Ludo the other player when you first get there put on the board they are really close to the goal there on 43 or something higher than that where I am on one and I have to go from one all the way to go where they just have to go from 43 to go can you please with that and I might might consider giving you five star review thank you it was fun

### 2/5 — Fun games but

*2020-06-20, version 5.0*

For a very long time now word builder especially keeps crashing! When I notified the developers it was basically too bad. Period. It will not let me go past a certain point fix it

### 2/5 — App needs some improvements

*2018-10-21, version 3.06*

First of all, I would like to start out with some positives.
One. I’m glad that sided and visually impaired folks can play this game on an equal playing field.
Two. This means that the whole family can get involved and no one has to be left out.
Three. I hope that more games like this are done by this group of great individuals.
Now for the negative things that I see in this version. I use voiceover and notice as other reviewer‘s have stated they use the same thing. The opening of the application seems to lag and the response time is slow in any game that I try. I tried to play hangman just a few minutes ago and noticed that it takes three or four times to double tap certain letters. This also seems to be the case with blackjack. I’ve not tried the other games. I am hoping that improvements might come very soon to make this pppapp faster.

### 3/5 — Problems with app

*2022-07-15, version 5.0*

For some reason it only works on internet and I dont have internet at my house. Use to work on Nobel data just fine. Please let me know if it will be fixed.

### 3/5 — Sir

### 5/5 — Fun and amazing

*2019-04-27, version 5.0*

Hello Game World developer, I really love GameWorld and it's selection of games. However, I do have a few suggestions. Firstly, can you add more games? I do enjoy the games already there, but I'd like to see some more added. Secondly, can you include a tutorial for the games in case people don't know how to play? I have no idea how to play Battle Cats and I'd appreciate it if there was a tutorial for it. Other than that, I enjoy the app and the games, and hope to see improvements and new games added in future releases.

### 5/5 — Really fun and (accessible)

*2019-01-03, version 4.5*

Thank you for developing an gaming app for EVERYONE to play and enjoy!!🤗🥂💖

### 5/5 — Fun game with lots of variety

*2018-11-04, version 3.06*

Like hangman? They got you covered. 
Like word searches? Again they have you covered.
Poker is your jam? Try this app.
Seriously- they have a variety and it’s fun to change things up and try new games.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2018-09-23, version 3.06*

Really really fun to play and it is easy and accessible to use.

### 5/5 — Huge improvement!

*2018-09-07, version 3.06*

Wow have you guys been working hard! This game has gotten snappier well this whole group of games but I mostly play word builder. What a huge improvement over all. I know some of the hard work that you described in the Apple Vis podcast and wow, what a labor of love. Much appreciated. Thanks for the extra gold. :-)

### 5/5 — Fun game suite.

*2018-08-18, version 3.51*

This is a fun game suite with games that are not usually included  in things like this. The games are really engaging, and I love the interface. Loving an accessible to blind users.

### 5/5 — Huboodle

*2018-06-23, version 3.1*

Lots of fun. I am a voiceover user and I appreciate that this game is very accessible. Lots of friendly people. Keep up the good work. If I could read it 10 stars I would.

### 5/5 — Addictive, fun and accessible!

*2018-06-22, version 3.1*

I absolutely love this app! There are so few games that are accessible to those of us who use VoiceOver but this is one of my favorites! There are so many games in this app to choose from that everyone can find something they like. Plus, they're adding more! My favorites are Word Builder and Ludo which is like Trouble or Sorry, but the others are great fun, as well! I highly recommend this app to anyone who uses VoiceOver, anyone who likes word games like Hang Man, word searches or anagram type games, anyone who liked Sorry or Trouble, anyone who has family or friends who uses VoiceOver that you'd like to play games with but wasn't sure how, and really, anyone else who likes any kind of game! :) This app is so addictive I'll even play it in the middle of the night when I can't sleep, while listening to baseball games or while drinking coffee in the mornings. I'm so glad I got this app!
