Even after deleting it is still asking for me to update. Makes me think this is spam! ### 1/5 — Cannot delete *2022-03-11, version 1.00* Doesn’t work and now I have this app stuck on my phone that I cannot delete. Every few weeks I get a notification that it needs to be updated, but there are no updates. It’s like if Moaning Myrtle were an app. ### 1/5 — Could be better but... *2020-10-09, version 1.00* I’m so glad this app was there! It allowed our family a fun time playing hot potato. So great to see the kids laughing and afraid the timer would go off on them. I agree with another reviewer though. It does need a hide the time mode so that the person in charge of the timer doesn’t know how long it’s set for. As well, on max volume, the music can be hard to hear over the laughing and excitement; it does need to be louder. Over all, thanks so much for the app! ### 1/5 — The sounds doesn’t seem to work *2020-08-06, version 1.00* The sounds doesn’t seem to work. There’s no settings for me to look into. Perhaps outdated? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2018-06-01, version 1.00* I downloaded this to play hot potato with my kids and not only does no music play but there is no alarm to let us know it’s done. ### 1/5 — The buzzer is scary! *2017-03-12, version 1.00* The buzzer at the end of the game sounds like an emergency alarm. Not pleasant. Volume of music very low. 15 sec max time not long enough ### 1/5 — Low sound *2015-07-05, version 1.00* Cant hardly hear the music because it sound is too low ### 2/5 — Can’t hear it *2020-04-10, version 1.00* This isn’t Worth free ### 3/5 — Pls update for iPhone IOS *2023-11-20, version 1.00* I love this app but it needs to be updated to the new iPhone iOS software. I’m not able to use it. ### 3/5 — Simple family fun *2019-11-03, version 1.00* We had a lot of fun with it. There were a few things that could stand to be changed. 15 seconds maximum time is too short. 30 seconds might be nice. It would also be nice if the time remaining could be hidden so the person holding the timer couldn’t see it. Finally the music is a little quiet. Overall though, it was quick and easy fun. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very functional and no ads *2020-07-12, version 1.00* This thing works perfectly. There are no ads, it’s super simple to operate. Sure it could have improvements but for a free tool that does exactly what it says, this is exactly what the doctor ordered. Thank you to the developer for not trying to rape us with ads for this tool. Considering the fact that the developer actually had to pay to be a part of the Apple developer program, I think this is very generous. ### 5/5 — FAVORITE HOT POTATO APP IN THE APP STORE! Not sure why anyone would dare rate it below 5 stars! *2019-06-23, version 1.00* “I like the music” - Mackenzie “the graphics were qUaLiTy! The potato on the screen was so lifelike! I almost wanted to eat it for a minute! Yum!” - Grace “Good game, but the potato we were playing with got smashed. I blame it on the game. Had to find a new potato.” -Elizabeth ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2015-01-04, version 1.00* Love it HOT POTATER ### 5/5 — This potato is delicious *2014-08-19, version 1.00* My nephew likes this much more than the timer app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
