### 2/5 — Duplicate numbers called

*2026-03-09*

We had several games that the same number was called at least twice in a game. This happened to us in multiple games.

### 2/5 — Pop up ads make it useless

*2020-08-23*

I can’t open it without going to a website. The ads hijack the app 
Horrible. So you need to make money? Get a job.

### 2/5 — Keeps switching over to safari. Almost impossible to play

*2020-07-28*

Every time I try to click the start button it pops over to safari (advertisement). 10,20 times in a row. Just can’t get the game to start. It used to happen every now and then. Now it happens all the time. So sad because it’s really fun to use and if it wasn’t for that I’d give it 5 ⭐️

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-12-21, version 1.4*

Pops up junk webpage, clickbait. Trashed it immediately.

### 3/5 — App support please.

*2019-11-29*

I love this program for calling bingo. Our family uses it all the time. The only downfall is that we payed to upgrade to pro, which was supposed to stop the pop ups, and it did not. When trying to contact the app support, it does nothing.

### 4/5 — Great App but could be improved

*2019-11-14*

This was a great app.  It never crashed on me when our family had our 3 hour bingo.  Can I suggest a few additions to make this a better app?

1.  Bigger Score Board for Verification
2.  Set Last Number Called to BLINK so all players can see which was the 
     last number called.
3. Timer should restart whenever a game is RESUMED.  I noticed that 
     when I pause and resume a game, the next number comes up right away.
4.  You should add some pre-defined games to save time especially when 
      We play patterns that do not require all the letters.

I’ll be glad to pay a little bit more for this app if all of the above can be done.

Thank you

### 1/5 — Rubbish adverts no bingo

*2019-10-29, version 1.4*

Opens to adverts only

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-08-26*

Doesn’t work.  Just adverts

### 3/5 — As soon as I open it

*2019-08-10*

The second that I open the app it teleports you to an advertisement(website). It is so annoying. Once you get past this, the app is ok. 👌

### 1/5 — Crap! Goes to add...do not download.

*2019-07-29, version 1.4*

🖕🏼

### 1/5 — Bad

*2019-07-11, version 1.4*

Sends me to Fofy. Com and will not open to play. Needs to be deleted from the App Store

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2019-06-09, version 1.4*

Brings you to a website defending religious freedom. Should be taken off the App Store.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2019-04-16*

This app has no sound. No good if I want to play with the kids too

### 2/5 — Take the link off!!

*2019-04-10*

I tried this app and as soon as I opened the app it directed me to an article. Even when I go back it send me right back to the article. Sometimes it lets me actually use the app but just remove the link.

### 1/5 — Won’t open.

*2026-07-11*

After purchasing app in play store now the app opens and immediately closes? Loved the old app but this is garbage now….how do I get it to work?

### 1/5 — Total rubbish

*2021-08-04*

Can’t even get to the main part of the app ads all over the place !!!!!
Don’t waste your time !!!! Deleted !!!!

### 1/5 — The ad teleport is too annoying

*2021-04-02*

Like others say, as soon as you open the app it opens your internet’s browser. Have to tap back on the app and after a few times it stays in the app. 
Which works fine but I deleted the app because the ad teleport thing is far too irritating. Even when trying to tap upgrade to see if there was an option to remove the ads, it just closed the app. Obviously needs more development to fix these issues. 
I’m now using an alternative free app.

### 1/5 — Me

*2021-02-18*

Wanted this app to be better than others. Annoying switching to safari for adds. Unable to buy the app as when you try it just dumps you out of the app. Could be a great, needs updating. Cmon developers fix this

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2020-12-21*

Would’ve given it negative stars if I could have. Downloaded it and it went to some crazy advertisements that took you down some wormhole.

### 1/5 — Awful - kept taking me to adverts out of the app

*2020-11-12*

Unusable

### 1/5 — Pretty TERRIBLE!

*2020-07-23*

I would just say NO. 
It’s just a small but better than writing all the numbers in small pieces of paper and doing it yourself.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-04-02*

Can’t even open it what a waste of time

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-02-22*

I downloaded this app on my iPad. When I opened it and clicked on it, I got redirected to ads and couldn’t do anything else

### 1/5 — Terrible and wow the ads

*2020-02-05*

Immediately launches your browser when uou open the app and loads endless clickbait sites and ads.  Close your browser and the app quits too.

### 5/5 — No sound

*2026-01-24*

I downloaded this app because it works great on my brother’s iPhone 11.
However there is no sound when I installed the app on my iPhone 13 Pro and my iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Can’t get in touch with the developer to see if they can help fix this problem

### 5/5 — Bingo

*2020-06-06, version 1.4*

Great app for free bingo

### 5/5 — Colin

*2020-05-25*

The app works great, some of the number names are a bit outdated but that just makes it funnier.

### 5/5 — Bingo

*2020-05-10*

Just what we’ve been looking for during lockdown.......brilliant

### 5/5 — Works fine!

*2020-03-08*

Don’t know what other reviews are talking about! Yes it opens an ad in Safari, but just close it and carry on! It works fine. My family and I have just had a quick game after Sunday lunch because we wanted to hear the bingo calls! Great entertaining app for free!

### 5/5 — Great Software.

*2019-11-19*

I would include a finish button after finishing game before going back to the Start a new game menu.

### 5/5 — Amazing app I use it all the time

*2017-07-01*

This app is stunning

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-07-07, version 1.4*

Easy

### 5/5 — Neat little tool for retirement home

*2015-05-15*

I have been using this app to call bingo numbers at a retirement home. The ability to recall numbers has been so very helpful. I also use the display of the called numbers to show to those who are hard of hearing. I am very happy with this app.

### 5/5 — Great app for bingo

*2015-05-13*

Works well. 

Also, any chance of adding "video out" support for iPhone 4?  It would be nice to show this screen directly to a video projector or large screen TV!!!  I have a few other apps like Keynote that support video through 30-pin to VGA adapter.
