### 5/5 — The best game (still)

*2024-11-09*

Still extremely fun to play. This game deserved so much more love but I’m glad there are still a lot of people still playing daily. The thrill of a quick (30+) turn game is still there with the right opponent. Support this game

### 5/5 — Outwitters is the BEST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-10-18*

I think Outwitters is one of the best games I’ve ever played with all the different characters and wacky terrain and best of all it’s FREE but the one thing that needs fixing is the news page it is VERY out of date and it’s all off to the side I can’t see the a other side of the page yeah sure it usually only doesn’t let you see a few words but sometimes those few words make a BIG difference but… I LOVE Outwitters 5 stars hope you like it too😁😁😁

### 5/5 — restore purchases

*2024-08-26*

please restore my purchases. the restore purchase button doesn’t seem to work. 

To provide more info, i had purchased the uber pack but right now they’re locked for some reason

thank you

### 5/5 — Still a Classic!

*2024-02-15*

I’ve played this game growing up, and recently found myself back at it. It’s a lot of fun and worth giving a try. I hope more people play and it gets new life. Would love to see this expand, it has so much potential. It still holds up against lots of the games released more recently, very well designed.

### 4/5 — Seems awesome!!

*2023-10-17*

Then i gotta wait 10 hours for the bot to play, and cannot play more than 3 games with out paying$. Seems like you always waiting (literally hours) and play for 10 seconds. 
Otherwise fun!!

### 5/5 — Play all day

*2023-09-15*

I love this quick turn based strategy game. It’s easy to learn and deceptively simple yet advancing takes careful thought and problem solving. It’s perfect for a quick diversion between work tasks. I’m addicted and I love it!

### 2/5 — Great game…if it doesn’t crash!

*2023-02-28*

The game is great. What becomes really annoying is that the app crashes constantly. I would say that the more moves you did on a match, the more likely it is to crash. Sometimes multiple times in a row. Other times your moves don’t count and your days are counting down without being able to fix it, rather than trying to resubmit in the hope that it goes through. 

This is the most unstable app I ever had on an iPhone and iPad. Has nothing to do with the decide as the same issue persists on different iPhones and iPads.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2023-01-04, version 2.0.16*

This game is awesome! Lots of fun. Highly recommend. I hope they release more teams in the future.

Update 2023:  I wish the developers would make a sequel or bring this back.  It was awesome!

### 5/5 — Can’t believe I’m back.. or maybe cant believe i left

*2022-11-12*

this game is fantastic. Great way to develop strategic skills and also meet interesting opponents. I have found great teammates for 2 on 2 battles. the community is friendly and fun and every game is a new adventure. I recommend this to chess lovers.

### 5/5 — Best Strategy game ever!

*2022-06-27*

This game is the best strategy game, all about the wits!
