In the app, the buttons are not where they appear to be and are not lined up with the UI. Instead they are a few “spaces” down and you have to click below a given button (such as the “how to play” one) in order to access it. This is horrible because it renders the score tracker unusable. Please address this. ### 2/5 — No Longer Works *2025-10-04, version 1.1.0* Unfortunately this App doesn’t work when I tap on End Score Tracker it opens How to Play and when I try to add Player for the End Score Tracker it doesn’t work. It’s a good app but shame that it doesn’t work like it used to. ### 1/5 — unclickable *2025-07-10, version 1.1.0* why I can’t click anything ### 4/5 — Helpful app *2024-12-26, version 1.1.0* I enjoy the ability to calculate my scores quickly but I think the other features of the app are a little over proclaimed; I do like that I can listen to some background ambiance but I wish I could interact with the ambiance generator in more ways; the use of a DNA collection sound effect and the ability to choose what ambient music is being played would push this review over the top to a 5 ⭐️ plus Review ### 2/5 — iPhone version UI *2024-12-22, version 1.1.0* This is one of the only apps I have been able to download on my extremely old phone but since the phone has a much smaller screen than most phones the UI becomes crowded and squished pushing the text off screen making the app virtually unusable the only working buttons are the purchase Game and expansion and if you look hard enough the random name Generator; My review for the IPad will probably be different but in order to be compatible with all devices The game should have a screen size adjustment setting upon opening the app for the first time (preferably with a slider). Other than the app the Game itself is as fun if not more fun then a video game standing alone as long as you know the rules ### 5/5 — PLEASE READ THIS!!! *2024-11-07* Can you make the game pleague inc a free game ?pls i want to try it out! ### 3/5 — Nooooo *2024-08-19, version 1.1.0* Only English. ## Frequently asked questions about PI ### What does the Plague Inc: Board Game Companion App do?
