### 3/5 — Could be great but missing something HUGE

*2025-09-25*

As an app developer myself, I am simply amazed this game doesn’t save its state in the event it crashes, or you need to walk away for some time and iOS shuts it down.  I keep losing my game in the middle of it if I can’t sit down in one sitting.  The rest of the game is done so well, how could this be overlooked!?

### 5/5 — Please I need spanish translation

*2024-10-20*

I love the game but i need the spanish translation

### 4/5 — Please spanish translation

*2024-10-20*

It would be awesome to have a spanish translation for the app as it can bring to misunderstandings for spanish players

### 1/5 — This was never tested on iPad.

*2024-06-05*

It’s nice on an iPhone. It’s garbage on an iPad.

### 1/5 — Textes incorrects et indices faux

*2024-06-01*

Le jeu est très sympa mais gâché par cette application qui donne des indices faux et des textes bourrés de fautes de français.
Une update est fortement nécessaire…

### 1/5 — Syntaxe et incohérence des indices

*2024-06-01*

Bien que j’adore le jeu et que l’application soit visuellement et sonorement réussie, je suis obligé de mettre une mauvaise note à celle-ci car elle a été bâclée au niveau de la syntaxe des phrases (répétition d’articles, genre des articles et pluriels erronés comme par exemple UN montagne ou un ANIMAUX) et ,plus grave des indices incohérents avec la solution (par exemple dans la partie Q4C2, l’indice du sujet D est incohérent avec la solution)
En mettant cette mauvaise note, j’espère faire réagir son développeur et que ce dernier fasse une mise à jour pour régler tous ces problèmes afin que ce jeu devienne génial.
