It didn’t. It was a game of speed. Just not what I was looking for. Has potential for people who enjoy those types of games but just wasn’t for me. ### 3/5 — Love it But…. *2025-03-08, version 1.0.15* I like relaxing puzzles and this would be perfect WITHOUT THE TIMER ### 3/5 — Gets Boring After. While *2022-11-22, version 1.0.15* If you are a good speller, or a proofreader, this game is fun for a while. But it’s pretty much all the same—page after page, looking for a typo. ### 3/5 — nice i guess, but has a couple issues *2022-07-10, version 1.0.15* the game is pretty smooth and calming to play however a lot of the typos feel very obvious and do not feel like they actually expect you to know how to spell. the stories are boring too but i don’t care as much about that. i did run into an error saying that one of the misspelled words i clicked on wasn’t an array though before it kicked me out of the app so i would just check that. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2019-11-11, version 1.0.13* I enjoy this game tremendously and play regularly. The reason it’s only got three stars is because of two issues: 1. It regularly crashes 2. If the typo is a three letter word it doesn’t allow me to select it. If you fix these issues I will gladly give you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 3/5 — Has potential, but crashes often *2019-07-18, version 1.0.13* The game is interesting and has the potential to be quite fun, but I’ve managed to cause it to crash twice within 15 minutes. It may be that this particular build is unstable and a future update may fix the issues I’ve seen. I managed to get a screenshot of the second crash, if that helps the developer. ### 2/5 — Not what I wanted *2019-04-17, version 1.0.12* I wanted a game that would actually challenge my proofing skills. It increases in speed as you go along, and the words have obvious letters that don’t belong and are easy to spit. These don’t necessarily enhance your proofing skills. In fact, if you are proofing a paper, you shouldn’t speed through it. I understand that it’s a game, and the speed of which you respond makes it more of a challenge, but this is not what I was looking for when I downloaded the game. The Zen mode is a nice option, but it shouldn’t be endless. Give it a time limit, too, or set different levels in Normal mode, so that you can advance to a higher level if you wish to play at a faster pace. ### 2/5 — Interesting concept *2019-03-28, version 1.0.9* A very interesting concept for a game, would be an amazing tool to help editors/journalists practice their spellchecking skills. Though I must say this was a little misleading - you mentioned no in app purchases, yet you only have access to “crime” and the rest you have to purchase. ### 2/5 — Has potential *2019-03-28, version 1.0.9* The game really has potential, but falls a little flat. It gets boring and repetitive after 10 minutes or so, and that’s coming from a total grammar nazi. I love the idea the game takes of being a book editor, but this game just feels like it’s missing something. Wouldn’t spend money on it. I hope they make something more out of the premise in the future. Maybe a full, in depth game instead of an arcade style? Or at least make it more detailed and less repetitive somehow? ### 3/5 — Averaqe *2019-03-26, version 1.0.9* I’d like to give this a higher rating, but the amount they make you spend on extras aren’t worth it. The story line isn’t amazing either. It’s a time killer for about three minutes but that’s it. Good luck! ### 2/5 — Ehh *2019-03-24, version 1.0.8* The design and music choices are nice, that’s about it. You’re just clicking words that are painfully obviously spelled wrong, with z’s, q’s, x’s and so on in places that are very easy to spot. Plus, you only get one story for free and have to buy the rest of them, so I finished in about 2 minutes and then uninstalled. Boring and not worth the time or money. ### 3/5 — Money *2019-03-22, version 1.0.8* So basically, to play any of the game modes other than the crime one cost money and questions are extremely repetitive ### 2/5 — Nice game in principle… *2019-03-21, version 1.0.8* But at least make us work for that. Most of the misspellings are so blatantly obvious it’s not challenging. E.g. Prokfessional, ccops etc... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never ending *2025-03-31, version 1.0.15* This is a very frustrating game. No matter how long you play, you can never w(h)in(e). ### 1/5 — Dyslexia *2022-11-14, version 1.0.15* I spent less than 5 minutes playing this game. I though it was going to increase in the length and difficulty of the words, with complex typos. Instead they’ll replace an o with a q, or switch two letters. They only shorten the time you have to read it, but it never gets more complex. It just makes me feel dyslexic. Which is not the experience I play mobile games for. Also only one chapter is free and other “genres” are paid. ### 1/5 — Not free *2022-03-13, version 1.0.15* You may play one trial round for free, a short story in which you must find letters with random consonants. For example, we all know there’s no j or x in the word, “where.” The game seems to imply one would have to carefully choose “where, were, or we’re,” but it’s not that. It’s just random letters thrown into the words of a storyline. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful. *2019-09-03, version 1.0.13* This game is nothing like the fun game it looks like. It is just words which are clearly misspelled, like “ojver” that you have to click. There are no punctuation, capitalization, or incorrect usage of words errors. As I said in the beginning, “Absolutely awful.” ### 1/5 — Boring *2019-03-25, version 1.0.9* Its stupid and not fun to play wouldnt recommend to anyone ### 1/5 — Wow how incredibly boring *2019-03-24, version 1.0.8* This game is beyond boring. Your just tapping words that are obviously misspelled. And they are so easy to point out since they have random Q’s and Z’s in them. ### 1/5 — Waste of time and money *2019-03-22, version 1.0.8* Game does not respond to either finger tip or stylus. Might be fun if it worked, but no way to find out. Junk! ### 1/5 — Can’t even read in time... *2019-03-21, version 1.0.8* This game is absolutely stupid. You’re supposed to correct INSANELY STUPID typos while reading some short texts. The thing is that there’s a timer for each paragraph and sometimes doesn’t even let you read the sentence in time! Boring as hell. ### 1/5 — Fatal error *2019-03-18, version 1.0.4* :( ### 2/5 — More time *2026-04-28, version 1.0.15* Needs to give more time it’s too fast ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A very pleasant surprise! *2019-10-04, version 1.0.13* I downloaded this randomly on a whim, and I’m obsessed. As a closet grammar Nazi, finding the errors is so satisfying. I especially love how you can have it timed for a challenge, or you can just “Zen” out with an endless, untimed session to relax. The premise is definitely not for everyone, but the audience this is directed towards will be delirious with joy! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-07-08, version 1.0.13* I really enjoy using this app, it’s a great workout for my brain to keep my mind active. Maybe you could include a multiplayer mode where you have to race another player to find the typo. Really fun game, would definitely recommend. Helps you with spelling too. ### 5/5 — Great fun and a mind builder *2019-03-31, version 1.0.9* This game is not only fun, it sharpens your mind. It actually should improve your reading speed as you play. Trust me, I’m a doctor. 😊 ### 5/5 — lovely and different *2019-03-25, version 1.0.9* elegant smooth design, a fresh concept! for those of us who are offended by signs with inexplicable apostrophe’s. honest and respectful use of the free to play model. ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-03-20, version 1.0.8* It’s a fun game that’s challenging, you really have to go fast and at the same time reading a story. Really fun game! ### 5/5 — More fun than it has any right to be! *2019-03-01, version 1.0.1* Who would think that finding typos could be so much fun! Great game, very smooth app, a joy to play. ### 5/5 — Pretty phun *2019-03-01, version 1.0.1* I, a man known to some as Rizzo, enjoyed this game and the time the developer took to make it ### 4/5 — IAP? *2020-09-18, version 1.0.15* Good game just fix the IAP ### 4/5 — I don’t know what to put here *2019-03-25, version 1.0.8* Love the game, please make more like it ### 4/5 — Amazing game BUT.... *2019-03-23, version 1.0.8* The one level just isn’t enough to decide if it’s worth buying more levels. I say three stages is right to help decide a games worth. But that’s just my opinion. For what I have played I’ll give you 4 stars. Unique and frustrating. Refreshingly unpleasant yet addicting. Great job. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
