So please make this app playable ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on 13 *2021-12-22, version 1.0.5* This apparently no longer works right on newer phones.

But in other words it sounds amazing. And make without using a book or something . ### 5/5 — Awsome! I also have some instructions. *2020-11-25, version 1.0.5* So this game is the best! Here are the instructions. 1 First, tap try the app. 2 Second, print every thing it puts in you’re memory. 3 Last, do wha you want to do. ### 5/5 — Don’t know what to do *2020-02-19, version 1.0.5* Its confusing I don’t know what to do ### 5/5 — Great game but fatal bug *2018-08-28, version 1.0.5* This game is absolutely great I can just tell but one fatal bug and is that I can’t see the transformers ### 5/5 — Best game *2018-05-23, version 1.0.5* I did not like it but now I know how to do it I love it ### 5/5 — My name is Elijah Brune *2017-12-30, version 1.0.5* I love this app and it’s fun ### 5/5 — More Than Meets The Eye! *2016-09-15, version 1.0.2* I LOVE this app! For anyone whose wondering how to get the pictures. When you first open the app, there should be two options. Tap the one that says try the app, and allow it access to your photo album. It will save the pictures to your photos. Then go out of the app and into your photos and pick the ones you want and send them to yourself via email. Go on the computer and get onto your email and print them. Once you do that, you can use the app to play with the characters to your hearts content! ### 4/5 — Good but not working *2023-01-22, version 1.0.5* I tried to play on my grandma’s iPad but it doesn’t work ### 4/5 — Probably amazing, but... *2016-09-17, version 1.0.2* Who's brilliant idea was in to make us have to print something? Congratulations! You just made one of the stupidest decisions in the history of Transformers apps! In the history of apps! In the history of Transformers! In the the history of APPLE! WHY?! Anyone have any even stupider ideas? ### 3/5 — Please update *2022-07-30, version 1.0.5* It doesn’t work with my iPhone 10 I can see the bots but my whole screen and that ruins it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
