I’ve tried holding down the character’s name, but that goes to the weapon screen to equip a weapon,  and it doesn’t let me choose to let one individual character go to a task while other characters do different tasks. that’s a little difficult for me because I need multiple items and I can’t do that when all the characters are doing one task  Please fix this bug or do another update to the game for voiceover. Also, I don’t know what the three buttons at the bottom of the screen Scavenge, Doze and Hibernate mean can you give me details about those two cause I don’t know what use they have to the game. **Developer response:** above each player's name, there is a group button that should help ### 3/5 — Optimize for iPhone XS *2024-07-26, version 3.0.71* I’m playing on iPhone XS Max and the text that tells me how much gold I have and etc is cut off you can’t read it which makes the game hard to play . ### 2/5 — Used to be so much better now a lot of bugs *2023-02-23* Really great game but unfortunately it is not possible now to create things manually like creating bricks, or things to build with the game isn’t letting you to do that for some reason Also, it would be nice to have some kind of guide or if you Cue or game, users, chat room or something like that because it could be hard for beginners to put things together **Developer response:** The manual can be found at www.woodsideapps.com any bugs comments please email info@woodsideapps.com or use the contact us button in game. Thanks ### 5/5 — I like this *2022-06-04* This game is a lot of fun. I like how easy it is for VoiceOver users to navigate. I would definitely recommend this game. ### 5/5 — Great resource building game *2022-05-26* This is my kind of game! I love that it Has sounds for doing your tasks as not many text based games have this, I do wish it had more sounds like when you built your buildings made your food etc however, but an amazing game and i could play this all day and have been for years now!i would defo recommend this ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2022-05-25, version 3.0.68* Thank you for this awesome game. I enjoy it very much. Tons of fun. I definitely recommend it: This game deserves my five stars. ### 4/5 — Tutorial Needed *2022-04-21* This game is amazing, but it needs a VoiceOver tutorial and a tutorial for sighted people. This new interface is kicking my behind because there was no tutorial. Please consider adding tutorials. ### 5/5 — Great game one small suggestion *2021-11-06* I think this is a great game! She won of the review were‘s concerns about music, I was putting volume to zero and play backing tracks from my own music library which works great I recommend black metal or classical music goes well with five teams. I would suggest being able to use three finger off to move through options quicker so she can get a little annoying to single moves through resources and also through actions. Well done! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review the game is being over hauled ### 5/5 — Love this game. My go to that I keep coming back to *2021-07-02* I love this game. I have maxed out and started new mini times over. I always try different strategies and different methods and never get bored. I would love to see this game receive more updates and more complications and more tasks and more resources and more of everything! Thanks for a great game! I have contacted the creator a few times when I have gotten into a bind, and he has always responded and helped me out! I really appreciate that for sure! Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review ### 4/5 — Battle issues *2020-12-09, version 2.2.2* When I battle, especially at higher levels of battle, the screen freezes up and the app closes. ## Frequently asked questions about Knight Commander ### What is Knight Commander?
