PLEASE finish making the game ### 4/5 — Ron *2025-03-23, version 1.41.7* When will the next update its been almost 2 years since the last update ### 4/5 — Update *2025-02-24, version 1.41.7* I loveee this game iv had it since I was 10 and I’m 19 now wish they would update it and continue the story line my game has been lagging lately anyways still an amazing game ### 4/5 — Cool Game, But Feels Abandoned *2024-12-01* I first played The Magical Typewriter when I was 8 years old, and now I’m 16. It’s been such a long time, and while the game still holds its magical charm, it feels like it’s been forgotten. The concept is unique, and the story is truly engaging, but there are some noticeable flaws. The game glitches and freezes sometimes, which can make the experience frustrating. The biggest downside, though, is how lonely it feels to play. There’s no active community anymore, and it seems like the developers haven’t updated the game in years. It feels old, abandoned, and stuck in time. That’s the saddest part because this game has so much potential to be amazing again. If the developers revived it with updates or fixes, I could easily see it becoming a 5-star experience. It’s a game worth remembering, but it needs some love to shine like it once did. ### 3/5 — Update NOW *2024-09-17, version 1.41.7* So I love this game but… when is the update coming! I mean I got to Asher poisonwood but what happens next!!!! ### 4/5 — Ron *2024-08-14, version 1.41.7* When is the next update coming to the games cause I’m ready to pick where the game left off ### 4/5 — AWESOME please read :) *2024-04-29* I absolutely love this game, it makes me think of a before-Harry-Potter wizarding world, until I saw the Dark Lord and he didn’t look like Voldemort but that’s okay I don’t really care. This WOULD be 5-stars except I got to the part with Archer Poisonwood and I really want to continue the adventure but it says ‘wait for update’. Please update this soon so I can continue my adventure!!! Anyways basically this game is awesome I don’t mind the ads so much since they aren’t that often. I do wish the blue potions could be a little more common so that I don’t have to do 20 levels of the Sealed Dungeon just to find 5 of them (that was an exaggeration but you get my point). I would also like to be able to customize my character just a little bit more :) Still, great game with good graphics and concept. I like how there’s a little obby thing in there when you go to the dungeon that’s cool. However I don’t know if this is a glitch or not, but when you use the impact spell on the lamp and couch (don’t judge it’s fun to destroy things with the spell) on the second to top floor in the Haunted House the house goes away and you fall into eternity and then (thankfully) get teleported back to the Typewriter Room. Thank you and please download this is a really fun game! EDIT: I recently redownloaded the game, and have encountered an issue with the cat form potion. When I tap it, it doesn’t do anything. Also, I have no objectives to complete after going into the dark forest, and I recall the game used to go further. I believe there are some technical issues here, that or I’m doing something wrong, but I’ve tried everything and it won’t work. ### 4/5 — The Game Will Not Continue *2024-03-20* I recently started playing the Magical Typewriter after not playing for quite some time because I remember having a good time playing. I am able to buy the first spells, map, and broomstick, but after the arena with the lightning spell, the game does not seem to progress. I am unable to use the cat potion and the broomstick in the magical tree room and the typewriter room (which you need to meet Puff and continue the story line). I have been able to visit the dark forest and the chess room and most places, but not being able to use potions or the 2 out of the 3 broomsticks are needed to actually progress. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Update PLEASE! *2024-02-04, version 1.41.7* I like this game but it’s been three years since the last update. ### 4/5 — Cool but a few more things *2024-01-23, version 1.41.7* I really like this game but it would be cool if you get a gift after doing a quest like coins or a new skill.I also think the game should regularly be checked as glitches happen every now and then.However,it is a really nice game and I enjoy it a lot. ### 3/5 — Amazing *2024-01-23, version 1.41.7* Loved the game so far but still no update adding the rest of the game but we’ve had new spells that are pretty pointless. I’ll give 5 stars when we get a full game Still no update on the rest of the game. Had to delete it as it’s boring now. ### 4/5 — Please update your game. *2023-11-05, version 1.41.7* This game is absolutely amazing but when I had finished all the levels it said you’re wait for update. When I had finished the game before it said the same thing and that was about ONE YEAR AGO!!!!!! The same thing happened to my sister so please update the game!!!!!! Please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ### 4/5 — Cannot save my progress *2023-05-27, version 1.41.7* I absolutely LOVE this game!! However I wish i could save my progress by putting my email or something. I only log sometimes and delete the game often (to get some space), so it’s tiring to repeat some parts all over. That being said, I love how everytime I come back, there is so much love and progress put to the game. <3 ### 5/5 — Really entertaining *2023-03-14, version 1.41.7* I just finished the game again but it says to wait for the update. I really enjoy this game and I am looking forward to hurry up and get an update please soon !!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I have to pay for almost everything *2025-08-13, version 1.41.7* and I can’t erase it ### 1/5 — WORST *2025-07-28, version 1.41.7* SCAM AND WASTE OF SPACE ### 1/5 — Inappropriate advertising *2024-12-16, version 1.41.7* I downloaded this for my 7 year old - however - the advertising was highly inappropriate for this young age, especially when the app states it’s for ages 4+. Please sort this out. ### 1/5 — Are you serious ? *2024-06-08, version 1.41.7* It’s been 3-4 years and the only update on this games story has been 1 line. Embarassing atp this game is not worth the wait. ### 1/5 — Fraud! *2022-03-21, version 1.41.1* I purchased 10,000 coins and the snowy owl food and didn’t receive anything! I closed the app multiple times but it doesn’t work. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — This game stole my money! *2022-01-28, version 1.40.9* I purchased 2 things on this game, the remove ads + 10000 coins and the +25000 coins. They did not get added to my game and I just had money stolen from me from your game. I tried pressing the restore purchases button and it is not working. This is uncalled for and I deserve to get my money back for something that didn’t even work. Ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Bbbb boring *2021-06-13, version 1.39.5* This game is boring confusing and terrible do not download it ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2021-04-17, version 1.39.5* The begin is really fun but when you need to get a wand. You need to get coins but I can’t find them anywhere but the paywall ### 1/5 — Could’ve been fun.. *2020-07-12* I like the idea. I like the game play.. but I didn’t even part the first “mission” to chase the wizard cus you need to take down the ice which you need a wand. That’s fine. Until you try to get a wand, which you need coins for. But to get coins you HAVE to watch ads or buy them. No matter what, creators make money off of 90% of what you do. Sure. Make money. But when almost everything I do (simply opening doors) requires a video ad or coins I have to buy or watch ads for..? $5 to get rid of the ads like that. Might as well make the app itself $5!! ### 1/5 — Watch an advertising to read my review! *2019-07-16, version 1.37.1* Coulda been good Instead of details they gave their time thinking how can they fit ads in the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-12-04, version 1.41.7* Ive played since i was a kid. Id love to this game get finished or something. The story line is beautiful ### 5/5 — This game is so nostalgic *2025-07-21* This is a continuation of my old review, and I just want to say that I really enjoyed this game. These reviews are up to 8 years old. I used to believe you will continue this but I realized you probably wont. This game rarely has other players and it feels like a graveyard. I really hope the storyline will continue and bring back the nostalgia for all the players of this game. I am replaying it for my third time. I really think that the game you are working on, Witches and wizards, is nothing compared to this. If you were to continue, this game could be so much more popular, and the old players would come back. I did notice that you stopped changing the quest message for every year to one that just says it will continue “sooner or later” (rather than “game will continue 2025”). Please continue. I love this game just like so many old players do and we hope it will come back and be a popular game for all the Harry Potter nerds, ex players, ect. ### 5/5 — Pls update soon *2025-07-02, version 1.41.7* I love this game! But I’ve reached the end of the story so far and can’t wait for the next part! Pls don’t stop making more I’ll be crushed ### 5/5 — PLEASE CONTINUE!!!!!! *2025-04-27* I have been waiting for years for this game to continue. PLEASE! I love this game and am curious what will happen with Asher poisonwood. I’m getting older.. you guys BETTER continue. We beg of you. I love love love love this game but i am getting so very mad about you not continuing it. I really really want to see what happens. Please. PLEASE PPPLLLEEEAAAASSSE i love this gameeee ### 5/5 — PLEASE CONTINUE *2024-11-06, version 1.41.7* I have been waiting for years for this game to continue. PLEASE! I love this game and am curious what will happen with Asher poisonwood ### 5/5 — Kiera churchward *2024-05-10, version 1.41.7* This is a lovely wonderful game but when o finished it said wait for a update and it happened to all of my brothers and sister ### 5/5 — WHEN WILL THE STORY PROGRESS?! *2024-01-08, version 1.41.7* I’m an avid player and I’ve played for years!! Please I beg please continue ### 5/5 — Very nostalgic *2023-12-04, version 1.41.7* This was straight up one of my childhood games there’s no way I can’t give it 5 stars… rip the chat, I had my first roleplaying memories in that chat ### 5/5 — UPDATE PLEEEEeeaSSsE *2023-04-02, version 1.41.7* I love this game I am a big fantasy nerd and I love this but pleaase update I would reeeealllly love if you could do a quest for the wizard and he gives you a pet for doing the quest like a dragon,griffin or phoenix and you get to choose I would absolutely lovvveeeee that soooooo much ### 5/5 — Spicy vindaloo *2023-04-01, version 1.41.7* I once had a very spicy vindaloo and when I finished it I blew up my toilet then threw my cat out the window and drop-kicked my dog then my grandpa made whole in my sofa my farting in it so I double side kicked him in the head sending him to Jesus.
