### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-04, version 6.8.1*

Customizable, a lot to do, ts app so tuff flowkirkenuinely

### 3/5 — tv

*2026-03-26, version 6.8*

I really wish the tv app would get more updates, and sync achievements with the iPhone/iPad versions. It’s been over THREE years. 😞

### 5/5 — It’s beautiful.

*2026-01-26*

This isn’t a great app-it’s a masterpiece. Every detail of Modern Magic Ball was intricately crafted to cause maximum joy—and minimum stress. With all the modes it has (one that can be rude, one that improves upon the original 8 ball answers, and the others that can help with day-to-day decisions), alongside it’s customizability, allows it to excel in being a good app. Having the ability to work on your watch is another great bonus, and it’s all packaged up for a cheap $0.99. Overall, it’s useful and fun, and I’d swear this could cost 20$.

### 1/5 — Ich weiß nicht, worum es geht. Auch meine Sprache funktioniert nicht.

*2026-01-17*

Einfach nur schlecht

*2025-10-23, version 6.7.1*

LOVE IT!!!!!

### 3/5 — Can’t put on Apple Watch screen

*2025-10-04, version 6.7.1*

Downloaded directly from my Apple Watch but it doesn’t support putting an icon for the app on your hole screen sadly.

### 3/5 — It’s a Magic Ball, sort of

*2025-04-02, version 6.7*

The reality is this Magic Ball, not a Magic Eight Ball. Weird.

### 5/5 — OMG

*2025-03-24, version 6.7*

I love it so much

### 5/5 — Magic 8 Ball but digital

*2025-02-19*

I absolutely love the amount of features. This app includes and I’ve always love the Magic Ball concept so I would definitely recommend.
