Terrible Game
Save your money on this game. It lacks all the luster that the board game has. Just miserable to play and a terrible interface. I’d like my money back on this one.
Good, but....
Should be able to dismiss the final newspaper announcement so as to view the board.
Fun but multi player mode is impossible
Please please please fix your multiplayer interface. Bought the game to play as a family. We are used to the seedless integration of games like Ticket to Ride. This game would be fantastic but the multiplayer mode is a mess and makes connection impossible. Frustrated because we bought this for multiplayer specifically.
Please fix your multiplayer!!!

Will not work on iPad Pro
Won’t work on iPad Pro. Crashes immediately upon open8ng. Waste of money.
Multiplayer not working
The online multiplayer option does not work at all. When inviting players, it sends iCloud links that don’t do anything. Too bad, since this appears to be a decent game otherwise.
Broken
Multiplayer broken .. what a shame
Needs update - multiplayer broken
Please update for 2018 iPad Pro resolution and fix the multiplayer which is completely broken.
Great mystery game
Awesome mystery game it makes your brain exercise mental investigator agility very chellenging
Game multi player does not work
When I attempt to play a 3-player game using 3 different devices, we’re unable to establish a stable connection. One person usually ends up in a separate game all on their own.
We finally got into a game! We played a game against a cheating Mr. X who took a double move every turn.

I can’t play online
Don’t buy
It’s a waste of money I bought this game so I can play a board game I like online but I can’t find an online game idk if it’s Bc no one plays it or if it’s a bug but if your buying this to play with real people dont buy it 😢I want my money back
It's fine
The game, and the implementation, is fine. However, the best, BEST part of playing Scotland Yard is always the after-game, when you all burst out talking about how close you were back on move 20, where were you, oh my gosh I thought you had me, etc.
I'm surprised that zero thought was put into this critical part of the experience. You can't even look at the board after the game ends and they tell you Mr. X's final position. It just exits out and is lost forever.
Devs, if you are reading, I highly suggest you implement the ability to recap - you already have the turn counter at the bottom of the board. After a game ends, please let players tap on each turn marker and see where the pawns were at that point. It seems like that would be easy.

Great game, but multi-player completely broken
I stumbled on this older game and gave it a try. Enjoyed the simple rapid play against the AI, and wanted to try against friends and family on separate devices. No can do. When you select Bluetooth (which should also have a Wi-Fi option), it says to first select the number of players and then press “Connect”. But there are no buttons to select the number of players. If I go ahead and just press Connect it spins looking for a device, but it never finds one - even though a Bluetooth iPad was just a couple feet away. OK...I then tried the Internet option. Selected the name of a Game Center friend to play 2 player game with. Their device was on and open in my house. Again it just spun and never connected. I suspect that since they used Game Center for the connection, they may not have kept up with the protocol for the new Game Center...or maybe this method cannot even be used anymore. Too bad...hope they fix it. Will give 5 stars if they can, because it would be fun to play with family and friends.

Multiplayer only works if you share a device
Maybe I'm missing something, but I cannot get any multiplayer modes to work across devices. Very disappointing.
No multiplayer
I updated my 5 star review. Now it's 3 star, sadly.
While the solo/AI game is beyond amazing, one of my fav board games on iOS — the online mode is broken. It's probably due to GC rework, but the only way to play with someone next to you is by sending the text message with a link (odd) — and the link doens't work. Can't connect. Tried dozen times.

Mr. X Location Revealed (Bug)
Great game, but there is a bug when Mr. X is played by the computer and you play as the detectives.
Once Mr. X location is revealed and you move your detectives one position next to a possible Mr. X location, a sound effect is played if Mr. X is one position away from a detective. This effectively gives away Mr. X's actual position since you will know if you don't hear this sound effect Mr. X is not at that possible location even though you didn't actually have to move a detective onto that space to confirm.

Good game
A little confusing for those of us with the old board game where the bus was green and the underground was pink. Faithful representation though. Had fun playing with Bluetooth. Need to fix the dev script when holding down your finger on the map to scroll. Still worthwhile and good family fun. The AI needs to be made harder. Even on hard it's not too difficult.

Love This Game!
This game supports text AND audio chat...very nice!...just like sitting at a table with family and friends. This renditition is true to the original board game. Very well done, except for this programming script that pops up after the update. Please fix.
For a fantastic family COOPERATIVE board game by Ravensburger, check out WHOOWASIT; it's one of the best board games I've ever played, and it's fun and challenging for the whole family...kids AND adults. Another great cooperative board game is GHOST STORIES.

Update much?
Ok guys, seriously? You can't put out a simple update that will fix the TEXT COLOR in the tutorial? Do you have just one guy working on all your apps and he's currently on sabbatical or something? This is not a difficult fix, and it's perfectly absurd that this issue has not yet been resolved. How do you expect to introduce new players to your game when they cannot read THE TUTORIAL. Fix this. Fix it now. Until then, one star reviews!

Good game, poor app
This may be a fun board game, but the app is poorly implemented. I had to go online to read the rules because both the rules in-game and the tutorial were unreadable. They were missing some sort of backdrop, and the font was unreadable on the background. Furthermore, I finished just one game (won) and it gave me the "win 10 games" achievement.
So, yeah, fun game, but poor app. Hope they fix the bugs soon.
