### 2/5 — Quelle galère !

*2021-12-20*

Mise à jour du 19/12 : ça s’améliore, les énigmes fonctionnent désormais sur l’appli (testé sur iPad). Cependant, l’une des énigmes est trop longue pour l’écran, ce qui fait que certains éléments sont masqués… il n’est donc pas possible de la compléter via l’appli ! 

Avis du 11/12 : Nous avons testé les applis iOS et Google play et les énigmes ne fonctionnent sur aucune des deux ! Quant à la version web, elle ne fonctionne ni sur nos smartphones, ni sur l’iPad. Nous sommes donc obligés de jouer à côté d’un ordinateur… Très pratique !

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2021-12-05*

Impossible de sélectionner les énigmes !

### 1/5 — Puzzle Fragments

*2021-11-28*

Puzzle fragments do not work in the app. I had to add them on my computer then refresh the app and that barely works. It honestly broke the immersion for my group. Please fix this. I love the game but not being able to add the codes is a deal breaker for continuing the game.

### 1/5 — Плохо

*2021-11-12*

Не работает финальный отчёт. Перевод интерфейса прыгает из русского в чешский и обратно. Отвратительно. Тем более в сравнении с отличным сайтом в базовом детективе.

### 1/5 — Не работает приложение

*2021-11-07*

Не работает финальный отчёт, не все кнопки работают

### 1/5 — Inutilisable

*2021-11-05*

Impossible d’enregistrer les lettres des énigmes et de cliquer sur rapport final !!

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2021-08-13*

Game is lots of fun, puzzles during mission two continuously revert back to previous puzzle even though we have solved the new one and had the “saved correctly” pop up. 
Disappointing and frustrating for sure.

### 1/5 — Bugs!!!

*2021-07-28*

So many bugs trying to save puzzle results! Spoil an otherwise great game. 
Even deleting the app, resetting progress, deleting my account, then entering puzzle results from scratch and still only part of the answers are saved.

### 1/5 — Glitched

*2021-06-26*

Puzzle entries are completely glitched. Mission 1 characters entered and saved on one puzzle appeared on another puzzle as well and then couldn't be overwritten. When giving up with it and using on a desktop browser instead (Antares Database) what puzzle entries had been entered from this app appeared completely differently / symbol numbers and letters. I would have had a better experience if this app hadn't existed and I was forced to use a desktop browser from the outset. SHAME. Please don't have the experience I did and avoid this app - use a desktop browser / antaresdatabase.com instead (desktop browser because it doesn't work on mobile browser) :-(
