## What is Six Degrees?

Six Degrees calculates the degrees of separation between your favorite actors.  You’ll discover relations that you never knew existed. How many degrees away from Christian Bale is George Clooney, or Meryl Streep, or Natalie Portman?  Have Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie appeared in the same film? Six Degrees will tell you.

Six Degrees features 3 modes of play:

    • Lookup: Enter any 2 actors to calculate their degrees of separation. You're favorite actors may be more closely related than you think!
    • Trivia: An incomplete list of actors and films is given and you must select the correct answer to complete the degrees of separation.
    • Guess Degrees: Guess the number of degrees of separation between 2 actors to view their degrees of separation.

Statistics are also provided to show your lifetime stats for each mode, as well as the actors and movies that you encounter most!

Why should you buy Six Degrees? Do I have to spell it out for you?  You’ll…

    • Find movies that you never knew your favorite actors were in.
    • Easily rent or buy films with the built-in iTunes and Netflix integration.
    • Learn more by viewing actors and films in the Internet Movie Database or Wikipedia.
    • Compete with your friends to find out who is the biggest movie geek.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-07-02, version 2.4*

Download this app a long time ago now in 2023 when I’m trying to find the degrees of separation between Quinta Brunson and Ice T it says it can specify because I didn’t type in names of actors. THEY ARE ACTORS

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2023-06-11, version 2.4*

Just installed it, it doesn’t work.  Not much money but totally wasted.

### 5/5 — Essential 6 degrees

*2021-05-05, version 2.4*

I love 6 degrees games, and I think this is essential to a complete collection. If you want to know whether you got it right in one of the other games, you need this.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2018-08-14, version 2.4*

You can literally find all the info by doing the same search in Google. It also claims certain actors don’t have connections when IMDb clearly shows otherwise. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — App crashes in Trivia

*2017-01-30, version 2.3*

Don't bother with this app. Not worth $1.99 if you can't type without it crashing.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-01-26, version 2.3*

Bought for the quiz aspect but crashes every time.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-10-28, version 2.1*

Would like my money back!

### 1/5 — Connects using unknown/uncredited actors

*2016-09-19, version 2.1*

It would be nice if you could blacklist actors since most of the connections it makes are actors/actresses whom you've never heard of playing minor roles. That's great that someone I've never heard of played 'attractive woman' in one movie and 'flight attendant' in another linking the two people.

### 1/5 — Need to Update

*2014-05-04, version 2.1*

So, your app is quite out of date. 

If you Google the same actors name in relation to Kevin Bacon for instance ((actors name's) Kevin Bacon number)), Google gives you the correct numerical value of separation between the two.

Your app on the other hand, being out of date, incorrectly associates a number (IMDB was used to verify my above statement). 

Please update your app so the money you're charging for it, seems at least moderately tolerable.

### 3/5 — TV Shows

*2014-03-16, version 2.1*

Great app. But, it doesn't take TV Shows into consideration when calculating.
