### 4/5 — App doesn’t register your wins sometimes

*2025-12-23, version 2.2.1*

Or when you use a key, sometimes, nothing happens, except you losing a key.

### 5/5 — Fun but broken

*2025-11-24*

This game is super fun! But, I’m stuck at NYC -> prohibition, it will not recognize the prohibition page when I click on it

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2025-04-15*

Both a tool for boredom and a way to read random information that might be interesting .

### 1/5 — not worth $2

*2024-12-18*

No online multiplayer like the web version, buggy and slow, ugly interface, i’m sorry this should be a free app

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-11-02*

Garbage, horribly dated terrible UI. Should be removed from the App Store, the fact it costs too is hilarious

### 5/5 — Why did they stop making levels?

*2024-07-25, version 2.1.1*

Love this game, & I’m very disappointed that the creators didn’t continue on with it.

### 2/5 — Takes your money

*2022-06-03, version 2.1.1*

I usually love this game on the PC but the app version isn’t great. When buying keys to help get through difficult levels, there was a deal for 200 keys for 89p - sounded too good to be true! And it was! Charged me £4.99 without me realising and I never even received the keys. I’ve had to file a complaint through Apple to get a refund. Such a shame as it’s so good on the computer.

### 3/5 — Worth it??

*2021-07-23*

It’s seems fun, but since it’s a paid app, it would be nice to have some app updates. It looks like the last update was at least two years ago, which leads to some problems. For example, it isn’t sized properly for an iPhone 12. And security details are no longer available. 

With in-app purchases, it makes me wonder about the value behind the price (since Wikipedia is ostensibly supposed to be free).

### 1/5 — For 2 dollars, it’s disappointing.

*2021-05-17*

The charts on the pages do not scroll. This is a huge problem because it cuts off content that can be used to solve the level. In addition, the skip to next area button doesn’t work. 

It would be wonderful to have multiplayer in this game. It would also be really nice to have a table of contents LIKE YOU HAVE IN NORMAL WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. I shouldn’t have to scroll through the whole thing to get to one part.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2021-02-18, version 2.1.1*

Really enjoy this game, but I wish there was more levels. I'd be happy to pay extra for more. 

I did pay 99p for 5 extras but I didn't receive them. Hence the low score. 

Please add more levels.
