User reviews

Broken app

Recently bought the game from goodwill and saw there was an app in the App Store. Go to download it, select my role and change my color, but then that’s it, there’s no further steps you can take. There’s nothing to select, only the back button to go back to the previous “choose your role” screen. It’s pretty much a broken app if you cannot progress past the point of choosing your role.

pandemic ROLES!

It’s a list of roles you idiot. Also, works fine describes roles well but lacs some more aesthetic improvements.

Stuck

I pick a role and it wants me to pick a color, I do, but then can’t get past that point. There’s no button or option to move past. I have tried holding down, resetting etc.

Response from developer

Hi! After selecting a role and color, the color applies automatically—there’s no extra step needed. If something isn’t working as expected, feel free to share more details, and we’ll be happy to help. Thanks for your feedback!

Zero clarity

The game was extremely unclear about how to start a game. I don’t know if it’s just me, so I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt and rating 3, not 1.

Response from developer

Hi! This isn't a standalone game but a companion app designed to work with the role cards from another game. You'll still need the physical copy to play. Hope that helps!
