It is amazing, the developers are also fabulous day take on all feedback and act on it. I am registered blind and therefore use VoiceOver on the iPhone to play this game. They have make sure that I can do this as it is fully accessible. Please give this game a try and spread the word. ### 3/5 — Always blocks my account when I travel *2023-01-02* I really enjoy the game and have been on a ship for years burying treasures around the globe. Unfortunately, when I travel and/or my GPS has issues I end up being blocked. Last time I had to write them 3 times before they unblocked me, and now I am blocked again. I had traveled and had returned home when I opened the game and was blocked again. Probably because my GPS had not readjusted to my location as I was not on WiFi. I don’t understand why they haven’t fixed this and why it takes so long to be unblocked. Please help resolve this! ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2022-12-22, version 9.4* Sadly doesn’t load past the first screen, wanting me to enter a name but nowhere to enter it.

I hope one of the future changes/upgrades is the ability to bury all the treasures that are in the same vault. ### 1/5 — Unacceptable Response Times *2020-03-25, version 8.8* Phone stolen over two months ago. Replacement phone was installed by iCloud backup but system cannot find account. Asked for support with no response to date. Another request sent. Will update review if response is adequate. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-03-03* I’ve been playing this for a long time. 6+ years. Maybe 7. Lost track. That alone says what I think of it. My wife plays, my grandkids play. I’ve gotten to see LOTS of backroads I’d have never seen otherwise. Easy to play, always plenty to help online.
