Note to self read reviews when it comes to app purchasing . ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work 😭 *2025-02-25* I was recently reading The Twits by Roald Dahl because he’s one of my FAVORITE authors. At one of the last pages of the book it said ‘have you tried our new scrumdiddlyumtious app? You haven’t? Download Twit Or Miss today on the App Store!’ I remembered that game and downloaded it (price: free) . It started out with a yellow screen and turned all black. I tapped it a couple times and it worked. While I was playing the game, I always got pop-ups saying that there’s another Roald Dahl game. HOUSE OF TWITS(price: 2.00). I downloaded it with the 2.00. It started out with a yellow screen and then had a loading screen. After the loading screen it tuned all black. I tried tapping it a couple times and nothing happened. Tomorrow’s my birthday and I’m sick with strep throat and the flu. I was really looking forward to this app. What a shame 😭 ### 1/5 — Loading *2024-12-25, version 1.0.5* The game will not load for me. It is just a black screen ### 1/5 — It won’t load *2024-10-05* I have tried to download this but every time I open it it just comes with a complete black screen. I do not like this. Please can you fix this? I want you to try and see what’s going on, please ### 1/5 — FAKE - It just shows a black screen *2024-09-04, version 1.0.5* Black screen.
