### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-05-23*

It does not do anything unless you pay more $$. Total scam

### 1/5 — Nul

*2026-03-14*

Nul 👎

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2025-04-22*

😑

**Developer response:** What is not loading? Can you please contact us to figure out what is the issue because email is faster than asking in the App Store review.

### 5/5 — Versatile iPhone Card Trick

*2025-02-08*

This simple card trick and card reveal can be used in 1000s of ways! A must have!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏻

### 3/5 — Help me 😭

*2024-08-07*

It’s fairly good apart from the whole you have to purchase to unlock the actual cool things and I learnt about coins but my son said that I was 12 now there’s nothing I can do to change it

**Developer response:** We removed the coins and the ads. How can we survive if we don’t sell the product! Ads are bad for you and developers, the one that makes money from ads are Google or Meta and they sell your data, we don’t. 
Get the latest update, you will like it.

### 5/5 — Amazingly fun and tricky

*2022-10-30*

This trick is super fun to do on my friends but I forgot how to get to the menu. Plz tell me.

**Developer response:** You can send us email if you want video tutorials or more prompt answers.  To get the menu, swipe with three fingers down.

### 1/5 — Good, but some downsides

*2021-05-06, version 3.6*

It’s pretty good, but it just is so expensive if you want the good effects. Not a scam, just very very expensive

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-11-19*

I paid for this app but the instruction video will not play. Total waste of time and money. Can’t contact anybody about it

**Developer response:** Hi, please send us email at magic@cinnamonmobile.com. 
We will send you the video ASAP as we can’t here, no way to attach a link or file.

### 1/5 — Video tutorial doesn’t load!!

*2020-10-05*

Might be a great trick. But if the tutorial doesn’t work you can’t do the trick. 

Fixit and I will review

**Developer response:** Sorry about that. Please send us email and we will send you the tutorial video.

### 1/5 — Ha

*2020-08-09*

$50 to unlock everything that others offer for free hard, It would be better if I could give it zero stars 

This app is no longer number one on app picker. The developers want you to pay $50 for different ways to reveal your card and aren’t willing to change the price, even though the free version isn’t bad it’s not great compared to cheaper apps (card2phone) or free apps (rising card) maybe if they set it up so you could buy things individually it might be worth it. Even though they don’t care about fellow magicians and would prefer them to just pay $50 straight up, I recommend looking at the app yourself and make up your own mind.

**Developer response:** You still going around and around without giving us example of an app similar to ours.  Again, no app in the App Store ever used all the iPhone sensors to get you this magic.
This app is #1 magic trick in the App Store by apppicker.com and we didn’t even advertise for it. 
It is your loss not to experience the app with friends and family.  
If you can’t afford buying this app, that is fine, go buy those competitors you mentioned but to give a low rate because you can’t afford buy this app, well, it shows your quality as a reviewer.
