For example I have a thestral is pottermore and that isn’t an option in the app. You can get unicorn and dragon though. On top of that the app had a really hard time connecting to my devices wand and wand box. After a hour of working on it I finally got it connected only to have the wand not want to register the sensors then when it did was acting crazy about the spells I was doing. If I drew a straight line it would do a chaotic squiggle in every direction but the intended direction. So to fix that issue for anybody else I deleted the app and redownloaded it. Another bug I seem to be having on IOS is the app doesn’t seem to fit my phone screen. It’s a bit zoomed in. If the bug gets fixed and we get more patronuses I will rate this higher. ### 4/5 — Wands are out there *2025-02-09, version 1.7.1* Many are complaining about the wands not being available but they still are. Even though WB had legal issues with this wand, you can still search for them. Got mine off of eBay. My only complaint is that WB has stopped paying attention to this app. There are plenty more spells you can add to this app. For those of us who have this wand, don’t completely ignore us. We love the wands. ### 3/5 — more spells needed *2025-01-07, version 1.7.1* it’s a really fun experience but most of the coolest spells aren’t available to even learn the app developers should make expansion packs available for sale it would make me give this a 5 star review over night ### 2/5 — Wand Bug *2025-01-03, version 1.7.1* Every time you’re trying to cast a spell, the line will keep moving even if you aren’t moving your wand. ### 3/5 — Wand wouldn’t connect. *2025-01-01, version 1.7.1* I’m giving this a two star because my wand will not connect to my iPhone 14 when I need to pair it. It will show the green circle with a wand but will never connect. If I could get this to connect I may give this a four or five star but until then three stars. ### 3/5 — Kinda cool when it works *2024-12-22, version 1.7.1* Wand quality is the biggest miss with this. Accessories are buggy and frequently disconnect. Thought they would work out the bugs but it’s been well over a year. Very disappointed. ### 3/5 — Awesome effects *2024-10-25, version 1.7.1* It could be better if hue lights would work with the IOS application. ### 3/5 — Please make these compatible with Govee *2024-10-15, version 1.7.1* We have Govee brand lights in our house and I hoped it would be added so we could use it. Its fun to play with but I wish it worked for our lights. ### 3/5 — Hue integration is broken *2024-10-02, version 1.7.1* It’s a good app but it needs to add more spells and fix the Phillips Hue intergration ### 2/5 — Won’t connect *2024-09-03, version 1.7.1* I’ve managed to connect my wand and everything, however I’ve bought a Philips Hue light and the bridge so I can control my lights, however it will not find the bridge to connect it. I’ve tried doing it manually, however it is saying I have not pressed the button, when I have. We’re on the same wifi network, I’ve connected it to my Google home, but it won’t connect to the app. I’ve troubleshooted everything, deleted and reinstalled the apps. I’ve tried going to customer support but there’s no email or phone number to contact. ### 3/5 — Smart lights never worked *2024-09-01* I love Harry Potter, thought this was super cool and preordered gave it over a year to get its “supposed” updates. Never seen anyone be able to get it to connect to Hue lights. Now, don’t get me wrong they are connected in the app but don’t do anything. I thought I was going to be able to do spells and change my lights but in the year and a half I’ve owned it…no luck. Everyone on Reddit has had the same issue. 🤷‍♀️ 3 stars for cool box and fun spells, would’ve gotten five if all the features worked ### 2/5 — Need wand *2024-08-23, version 1.7.1* You should make it so all the spells are free ### 3/5 — Connect problems *2024-08-15, version 1.7.1* it’s fun but cannot connect to HUE bridge ### 2/5 — Can’t Report Issues *2024-07-27, version 1.7.1* I just bought a HUE starter kit so I can use this, and it won’t connect to the Bridge of the HUE. The bridge works, but the app won’t connect. Says I did hit the button on the Bridge. Can’t even report an issue through the App Store, sends me to a invalid link. Useless! ### 1/5 — Still no support *2024-06-29, version 1.7.1* Just update the app to include Apple HomeKit and govee it’s not hard ### 3/5 — Awesome but eh *2024-06-18, version 1.7.1* I was super excited when I got it magic wand but then when I got the app the app always said connection not available or something like that and it never worked no matter what I tried I restart my phone multiple times it just never worked I was so excited ### 1/5 — Do not get app (useless) *2024-06-08, version 1.7.1* When I saw this app I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to cast spells around the house. But when I got it it was not working at all. I tried so hard to get my wand to connect. I was even holding it the right way. I put on my Bluetooth and it still didn’t work. I tried signing in but it wouldn’t let me. I have had one of their apps before and it was not this glitchy. I tried like 40 times. Do not get this app. It is a waste of time ### 1/5 — 😡😡😡🤬 *2024-05-03, version 1.7.1* I cannot cast spells it all and you need it a wand ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I love harryPotter *2024-11-09, version 1.7.1* i love harry potter but this is just not a good app unfortunately.I was so exited to download it but i can do nothing because i dont have a special wand and i do not feel like spending £300 pounds for two wands. Also i cant do duelling coz im to young! Do not get this app if dont want to spend over £100 pounds on a wand that i hear is not even good. I am sad ☹️ 👎 Bye yall ### 1/5 — Nothing works anymore *2024-10-16* When I first received it. Everything worked great. I hadn’t used it in a while so I charged it up and went to use it today. It was SUPER buggy. Even with the wand on the table it said I was gripping it. So I went to the troubleshoot. It said to delete the app and reinstall it… I did and it wiped all my hue lights. I’ve tried reconnecting them but all I get is “you didn’t press the bridge button”. The box won’t charge. Neither will the wand. And I’m using the original charging cable. There’s no where to reach out for support. They haven’t updated the app since shortly after it came out and they decided to discontinue the wands. This all seems like a giant cash grab and I’m extremely disappointed. ### 1/5 — You need to buy a speckle wand *2024-10-06, version 1.7.1* It won’t let you do anything unless you have a certain wand an actual wand won’t work ### 1/5 — Breaks at the slightest touch *2024-10-06, version 1.7.1* I bought the collection of the three wands. I went to pair the defiant wand, and the tip of it snapped off, and I barely applied pressure. Now, I'm afraid to even try pairing the honorable or loyal wand because the defiant wand snapped like a twig. I would like my money back, at least for the broken defiant wand, and I went to their support site to try and contact them but nothing because their wonderful support site DOES NOT HAVE A WAY TO CONTACT THEM ### 1/5 — App is useless *2024-09-12, version 1.7.1* So when I started it wouldn’t connect no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t connect. But then I broke the wand and they don’t sell it anymore. So useless! ### 1/5 — Very very buggy *2024-08-30, version 1.7.1* There are so much bugs with this game when I downloaded that I had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2024-08-13, version 1.7.1* This game wants me to have a wand special made for this game who has a wand for this game please reply to me because i want to know do I have to get a wand for this game or just a regular wand developers please respond ### 1/5 — Is it the universal studios wand?? *2024-07-03, version 1.7.1* I can’t use it and it won’t work! I’m not sure if it’s the universal studios wand or not. On google it says that you can use the wand for things at home with this app but it doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Is it the universal studios wand? *2024-07-01, version 1.7.1* I can’t use it!!! ### 1/5 — No wand!!! *2024-06-30, version 1.7.1* Were do I get a wand? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very nice *2024-12-25* So I first download this app and there was some glitches so I just re-downloaded the app and it worked perfectly once you get used to doing the spells. It gets very easy to cast the spells and you can keep on. Keep on going until you finish all the spells and then You can just keep playing probably one of my favorite app ### 5/5 — Worth it *2024-10-14, version 1.7.1* I really am enjoying the experience. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-04-01, version 1.7.1* It’s a fun experience but when I register I don’t get the email it is a recurring problem please help me fix it ### 5/5 — Update needed! *2024-02-11, version 1.7.1* Great app!! However every time I try and load the app it freezes haven’t had a problem before and tried it on another phone same issue ### 5/5 — Caster wand *2023-12-23, version 1.7.1* The wand it self look stunning and amazing. I own the limited edition version of the wand. The app and learning spell to master them to control things are amazing but it is a shame that u now took them off of the market. As it be nice to own another one and it be also ace to have a app update and do more things too and for the customers service to react more to the feedback, but i guess you no longer have to, see this project got shut down . ### 5/5 — I love it so much but I am stupid *2023-08-01, version 1.7.1* I love this app bc it tells me all the spells but when I downloaded it I thought it worked with the wand I got from universal studios in dum for that but over all this is a great app for people who has the magic caster ### 5/5 — Amazing but needs an update *2023-05-27, version 1.7.1* The wand is amazing and feels like I am actually casting spells! After a long time fan of HP, they really need to add new spells. I mean, the only spells that I really want are the three unforgivable curses. Avada Kedavra would be so cool! Thats really all though, otherwise it is a really good wand! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2023-05-02, version 1.7.1* I love this concept, but I wish the spells were harder to obtain because I completed all the spells in 15 minutes. So keep adding more spells and maybe some unforgivable curses?!?! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-04-27* The wand is absolutely awesome i’ve had trouble doing the spells but everyone has their ups and downs. the app has so many spells but in the past 2 weeks i did every single one lol. it will be cool to add some mini games with the wand to practice spells or go to classes and learn new spells. just one problem, more spells!!! we need them but beside that all harry potter fans should have this wand **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for leaving a review! We'll be adding new spells and levels in future app updates. Thanks! Magic Caster Wand Support ### 5/5 — Absolutely love it but 1 problem. *2023-03-30, version 1.6.0* I love everything about this but there is 1 problem, on spell description iconic uses, for sonorus the name ludo bagman is spelt incorrectly. It is spelt Lugo bagman, not *ludo* bagman. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
