We started a game tonight & none of the blue links are popping up anymore. We’re stuck on the first page. The app does not need updated and I tried uninstalling it and redownloading it but it it’s the same thing with every game we start. ### 2/5 — Fun game bust big glitch *2026-06-30, version 2026.5.1* It’s very fun but for some reason when you join a public server occasionally a user if the letter u shows up and stays in the server but dosent ever ready up so you can’t play, it’s lots likely a bot or glitch of some sort ### 3/5 — Solo no longer free *2026-03-30, version 2026.1.1* Can’t play solo anymore without a monthly/yearly subscription. Game is great though. ### 3/5 — Good game *2025-11-25* The join public or race option in my experience does not work. These are the only free options available so in practice there is nothing you can do for free on this app. Also, I’d happily pay five dollars one time. But five dollars per year is a little steep. ### 1/5 — App currently has a bug *2025-10-24, version 2025.07.2* There is currently a bug where the first page does not load in a race. Please look into this. ### 1/5 — Subscription for Offline Play *2025-09-26, version 2025.07.2* You now have to pay a SUBSCRIPTION to play this game offline when it did not used to be the case. A shame because I have never really cared for competing online (I’ve also heard the online connectivity can be pretty bad a lot of the time, but I wouldn’t know). ### 1/5 — Paywall???!!! *2025-09-23, version 2025.07.2* Really bummed that they locked the game behind a paywall. I've had it for years and really enjoyed it until now. ### 3/5 — Good but the dlc is abhorrent *2025-09-14, version 2025.07.2* Overall a great and fun game. Wish solo play wasn’t Locked behind paywall because it rarely connects me to public games ### 1/5 — Bricked their app with a paywall *2025-09-04, version 2025.07.2* This app was great until they bricked it with a paywall subscription. Its not even possible for a one time purchase. Not supporting this greed. ### 4/5 — Public Races Suggestion *2025-08-30* I really enjoy playing this game. It’s fun and inquisitive. However, I do think the public races could be improved. The race should end as soon as the first player finds the article and wins, instead of making the winner wait around for others to catch up. It would also be great if there were a way for new racers to join after a game has already started, rather than having to back out to the lobby to let others in. It’s also hard to find games sometimes, and for this reason I think allowing players to join ongoing races would make a big difference. Updating these aspects would make the experience much better overall. ### 1/5 — Offline single player *2025-08-19, version 2025.07.2* Why lock solo races behind the paywall? ### 1/5 — NOOOOOOO *2025-08-11, version 2025.07.2* THIS GAME GOT ME A GIRLFRIEND BUT NOW ITS PAYWALLED ### 1/5 — Not free anymore??? *2025-08-04, version 2025.07.2* Why is ts not free it was always free im not gonna pay to play a game for no reason this app is absolutely unusable now ### 4/5 — My sheala *2025-07-28* I only play this game with my friends when we’re together and the new change that hides private matches behind a subscription prevents us from playing our favorite game. ### 1/5 — No longer free *2025-07-23, version 2025.07.2* Can’t play with friends or even solo anymore without a monthly subscription. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — i used to love this game *2026-08-16, version 2026.7.1* this was my fav iPhone game ever but the app stopped working for me and i can never play with my friends ### 1/5 — Impossible to use *2026-06-29* The game itself works great, but there’s a horrible flaw where if you join a public server you can’t choose to leave a specific lobby or kick a player out. So I’ve had the same issue for days now where a player won’t press ready and since it’s the only lobby you simply can’t play… stupid mistake that ruined the game ### 1/5 — i used to love this game *2026-06-08, version 2026.5.1* this was my fav iPhone game ever but the app stopped working for me and i can never play with my friends ### 1/5 — Very upset *2026-05-26, version 2026.4.2* I don’t know why but I’ve downloaded this game in three different devices and it will not let me play. Says network error of some sort and it upsets me. I’ve played once with a group of friends and tried to include myself and this app will not work 🙂 ### 1/5 — Worst game *2026-03-25, version 2026.1.1* Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Public Race is not working *2026-01-28, version 2026.1.1* The public features are not working. People can the lobby but there’s always a user “u” that doesn’t ready up and is always there. ### 1/5 — I pay for this but nothing changed *2026-01-23* I just pay to play solo mode, but nothing changed. And i can not get any game.. Because there is no people. ### 1/5 — Bricked their app with a paywall *2026-01-11, version 2026.1.1* This app was great until they bricked it with a paywall subscription. Its not even possible for a one time purchase. Not supporting this greed. ### 1/5 — Made everything paid *2025-12-20* This app used to be great! Sometimes it was a little laggy but it got the job done. Now, you can’t even queue into a game without paying a subscription fee every month or year. The free features never even load you into a game at all. I will be uninstalling because this is not what I installed the app for. ### 1/5 — Paywall ruins it *2025-11-21, version 2025.10.1* I mainly used this game to create a private lobby with friends in the same friends. Putting that behind a paywall completely ruins the appeal for me, paying isn’t worth it when I can find a website that does it for free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Is it broken? *2026-08-16* I really like it and it’s such a fun app but i don’t understand why my girlfriend beats me at it every time. can’t wait for the update that changes . ### 5/5 — Awesomesauce *2026-05-31* so awesome and sauce ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER! *2026-04-17, version 2026.4.1* best game to play with friends! encountered some difficulties and andrew fixed them for us and was super nice! highly recommended this game!! ### 5/5 — Why am I paying for this thing that doesn’t even work? *2026-03-07, version 2026.1.1* I used to love this app. Super fun to play with friends. But I accidentally updated, and now I can’t play with friends. And it sucks. I’m sad. ### 5/5 — Love this game, and *2025-10-20* I just wish there was a way to kick inactive people from the lobby if they’re not readying up within like 2 minutes of being in the game ### 5/5 — No longer free *2025-07-22* What a bummer. I have been playing for years and now you can’t have private games without a subscription. It’s almost impossible to match with anyone on the public server. I recommend finding a new game. ### 5/5 — WikiRaces 4 slaps *2025-07-21, version 2025.07* Thanks for finally updating - latest version hits diff! ### 5/5 — PLEASE Andrew finke update your game *2025-04-30, version 2021.06* It takes 20+ try’s just to connect to another player and if you finally do it’ll disconnect both of you. I just ask of you to PLEASE update your amazing game. Sincerely, Toast10957 ### 5/5 — This game has Rizz *2024-02-04, version 2021.06* I played it with friends, it’s concise, clear and well made. Bravo to the developer, you talented son of a gun ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-06-12, version 2021.06* Played in a park with friends this afternoon!
