### 2/5 — Read developers

*2026-04-25, version 1.3.11*

I can not choose a name or pick one

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-24, version 1.3.11*

I can’t even get past the name select part

### 1/5 — Wont load

*2026-03-23, version 1.3.11*

Picked my username and then it wouldn’t let me continue. Reset iPad swiped out of the game multiple times, but it still didn’t work still said failed to load and it wouldn’t let us pass the username.

### 1/5 — Yeeeew

*2026-03-21, version 1.3.11*

Please just bring it back that was 100 dollars down the drain just so that I can’t even get past the first page

### 5/5 — Did it shut down?

*2026-01-24, version 1.3.11*

Did this app shut down? Every time I tried to sign in, it told me it didn’t work. Just wanted to know if I was able to fix it or not.

### 1/5 — Load Failed

*2025-12-11, version 1.3.11*

Just like everyone else says, you can't get past the first page.

### 1/5 — Please bring the game back

*2025-10-19, version 1.3.11*

We bought the wand and it looked really fun to play, but we couldn’t enter our nickname and it was a little glitchy

### 1/5 — Dear Developers,

*2025-10-08, version 1.3.11*

Bring back the app so I can use the harry potter wand and see how it works.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-08-30, version 1.3.11*

Can’t even get past the first screen on the app, it just says “load failed” every time you try. How can there be so many of the same exact complaint and you never bothered to even fix it. Guess they got everyone’s money for the wand and didn’t care to fix the issue at that point. Scam
