### 5/5 — suggestion

*2026-05-31*

LOVE IT! but i think the game would be even better if it had a win count. I think this is a million dollar idea.

### 5/5 — Cool to see something else like game pigeon

*2024-11-18*

Add some more games, would love to have another way to play 8 ball or 9 ball. Maybe even 10 ball

### 1/5 — Didnt work

*2024-07-29*

Didnt work

### 3/5 — iMessage + : Weird Scoring, Strange Word Choice, Poor iPhone Mini interface

*2024-03-09*

Love having this iPhone Message app, great colors & graphics, solid play.

Issues: 

• can no longer see results on iPhone Mini, without finicky jiggly of screen
• Word choice is silly, with proper nouns and consistently low-brow choices
• Scoring is nonsensical

Otherwise fine, fun & entertaining oMessage game.

Plus: The player starting the game can play right away.

### 5/5 — hooray!

*2024-02-26*

my friends send me wurtles all the time it’s insane

### 1/5 — Once you install cant uninstall

*2024-01-05*

This stinks. I cant uninstall it. Why?

**Developer response:** Yeah Apple changed this in a recent update, I’m not sure why they made it so difficult. Here’s the steps to delete an iMessage App:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap Messages.
3. Tap iMessage Apps.
4. Tap the red minus button next to an app, then tap the Delete button that appears.
