### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-02-05, version 1.1125.0*

Won’t login… even with the portal one account

### 4/5 — Not Backbone Compatible

*2026-01-30, version 1.1124.2*

Really would be so much better with controller compatibility, specifically the Backbone!

### 4/5 — Just now:..Quiztopia was missing?

*2026-01-20, version 1.1124.2*

Hope that’s a random glitch because it was as if the show wasn’t on the schedule suddenly even though the notification came through one min before it airs as it always does. 

Still. LOVE YA’LL at Portal One☺️

### 2/5 — Love the app

*2025-12-03, version 1.1124.0*

This game is awesome, I just have one issue. The game ran great before the update now when I try to play it immediately crashes after load screen

### 5/5 — Love this

*2025-11-24*

Only been playing for a coupe days but great atmosphere. Everyone is real positive on the chats. Been telling everyone about this game. Free to play and it’s a live game show every day at 5:30 then at six then you play two games and you play against a bunch of people it’s really good fun like I said it’s free. It’s an awesome idea.

### 5/5 — Help

### 5/5 — Awesome

### 1/5 — They ruined the game

*2026-07-12, version 1.1131.0*

Used to play the game daily for hours but then the company decided to take away the prizes and now it’s not worth the time. So sad.

### 1/5 — Used to be great.

*2026-07-03, version 1.1131.0*

Well, they ruined the one thing they had going for them. Cash Prizes. They have slowly lost games. Centipede, and the Go Kart game they had. Both gone for some reason. So it’s almost like they stopped trying. So I’m out. When it gets better, and we can get back to winning money, then I’ll be back.

### 1/5 — Fun while it lasted.

*2026-06-29, version 1.1130.0*

Finally happen. They officially taking away money from the game. This was the only thing that brought most players in.  when you don’t advertise or have ads with no money coming in, eventually means no money going out. Which is where we all knew it would end up.

### 1/5 — New is bad

*2026-04-10, version 1.1127.0*

The new game modes and payout system is so much lower. The game is awful now you’ve combined all the countries together good luck, beaten players from Norway. you said you listened to the players about the top 10 payout system but you really didn’t. You’re only paying out first place that’s still leagues. Just stopped calling it leagues. Hahaha people wanted you to bring back paying everyone that made top 10

### 1/5 — Just closes out when loading the app.

*2026-03-13, version 1.1126.0*

Just closes out when loading the app. Too many updates.. 😞 Soon this app will go downhill like all of the other ones.

### 1/5 — Latest update requires IOS 17.0

*2026-03-09, version 1.1126.0*

I was enjoying the experience, but somehow I knew with all the constant updates, eventually Portal One would stop working, well it finally happened and it won’t work. Sometimes “New Iand mproved” isn’t always better! Oh well.

### 1/5 — Game glitches

*2026-01-15, version 1.1124.2*

Been playing for a couple months really love it but now it’s glitching and buffering during game play make score smaller cuz of it.. I love doing the shows and winning real money,but the glitches is turning me way off!!! Fix the glitch buffering and closing out automatically!!!!

### 1/5 — login with apple BROKEN

*2025-12-21, version 1.1124.2*

i cant even get into the game on my iphone because it asks you to verify your email and when you enter you private relay email from apple it wont accept it. hide my email is a privacy feature so you cant sell my email address but i guess this company needs our real email so it can sell it. and there's no way to contact them about it because you have no account yet.

### 1/5 — Updates

*2025-12-10, version 1.1124.2*

Too many updates I’m about ready to uninstall this is ridiculous

### 1/5 — Issues With Name Constantly Changing

*2025-10-27, version 1.1122.3*

I cannot get the app the save my name at all!  I have reached out to have it stop giving me a pseudonym, and it still keeps doing so!

### 5/5 — More Fun than I Expected

*2026-03-19*

I got this app because I heard there were updated version of Breakout and Centipede to be played on here. What began as curiosity on an app I figured would be ultimately disposed of turned out to be a fun and engaging ecosystem of challenges, prizes (including real money), and likable personalities in the hosts of the shows. It reminds me of old days of Nickelodeon with Slime Time, UPick Live, and Kids’ Choice Awards; that sort of energy and atmosphere. That, paired with simple yet fun games that everyone can participate in, makes it an app I’m definitely keeping around and visiting often.

### 5/5 — A lot of fun

*2026-03-14, version 1.1126.0*

So fun got the whole family into it!!! RR

### 5/5 — Something I look forward to everyday!

*2026-02-23*

I don’t often write reviews for apps but this one stands out and has been so much fun for me.

I look forward to Quiztopia everyday and the Arcade Challenges with guests.

The hosts are quite engaged in what they do and look like they’re enjoying it along with everyone else.

Also that you can win actual money (yes I have so can confirm) is a nice bonus to entice people to play.

I look forward to hopefully new games soon but keep up the good work, you all give me something to look forward to daily!

*2025-12-03, version 1.1123.2*
