I’m playing with nine people at present who must like it as much as I do. Always tells me I’ve lost when I’ve won and vice versa. ### 1/5 — Hurry up and develop more words for me to guess *2025-01-02, version 2.0.1* I cancelled my subscription months ago and am still being charged. The developers aren’t monitoring their reviews or emails. There’s no way out if this mess. Don’t join up! ### 3/5 — Good but unstable *2022-10-16, version 2.0.1* I love this app. But it’s not well built, so isn’t very stable. ### 1/5 — Hurry up and develop more words for me to guess *2022-06-22, version 2.0.1* I’ve just about finished all your puzzles. Hurry up and create more puzzles. If you think I’m going to answer the round about Trump, you have no idea how much most of America hates that Insurrectionist traitor. Get him out of the game. ### 4/5 — Lauf? *2022-05-24, version 2.0* Other than that, I liked it ### 2/5 — Excellent *2022-05-20, version 2.0* Five stars! (...minus three for - shockingly - using the Americanism 'good job' 🇺🇸, instead of 'well done' 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇰🇪🇺...🌏). PS: Great game and app BUT it drains the battery about 100 times faster than MUCH more intensive apps. This problem definitely needs to be fixed. The phone gets hot too. Multiplayer: The 🏆 trophy character is illegible and the thumbs-down 👎 one is barely legible. Perhaps consider a much clearer method of indicating 'WON!' and 'Lost' at a glance (maybe differently coloured rectangles). Single Player: The reward 'fact' should be much bigger and much easier to read. PPS: There are some problems with (server capacity/connection?) timely updating of completed multiplayer games and clearing of the little red [new-messages-available] dot attached to the app icon on the iOS homescreen. Also, the 'Your Statistics' section doesn't really belong under the 'Single Player' section, but that's not important. It looks good. 😊👍 Please improve all (or most) of the above to earn five stars. 😊👍👍 Epic work. PPPS: When holding (long-pressing) a letter, please change to the following permanent placement of 3 unchanging options: Left: Green (always stays green), Centre: White (always white), Right: Red (always red). The current colour-switching method gets really annoying to the user when quickly whitening many letters. Thanks in advance. PPPPS: This app has serious server-connection / info updating problems. Under 'Past Games', some completed games are not properly labelled as 'WON' or 'LOST' and the server will eventually say 'Game forfeited. You took too long' or similar, and the win is not recorded. PPPPPS: Multiplayer game database corrupted (or something). Problems as described above persist (game results not reported/recorded, games erroneously treated as abandoned, timed-out and 'forfeited'), plus totally messed-up notifications arrive that read '[Your own username] just solved their word in _ attempts. Now it's your turn.' - App now often crashes when trying to open from tapping an iOS notification. ### 3/5 — Difficult. *2022-05-09, version 2.0* It’s ridiculously difficult. I just started so maybe I’ll get into the swing of it, but right now I’m ready to give up! ### 2/5 — Unintuitive and frustrating *2022-05-07, version 2.0* This app would benefit from more user testing. ### 5/5 — Qiktionary *2022-04-09, version 1.4.29* I used to play this and enjoyed it so much but then it went a bit wrong but now IT’S BACK and I’m ridiculously happy about that. Terrific game, very addictive yet simple to play, with single player and two-player modes. The more you play, the better you get, as techniques get tweaked. You can play a friend or a stranger, or play single, releasing fun facts. Probably the most fun to be had at about 7p a day. ### 5/5 — Challenging and fun *2022-03-05, version 1.4.29* Love it and have played all the free games that I could find. However a monthly subscription of $5 (let’s not quibble over 5c) is excessive so sadly I’ve played my last game. Would seriously consider subscribing if it was cheaper. ## Frequently asked questions about Qiktionary ### What is Qiktionary?
