Missing pieces

This was disappointing. The how to play page was blank. I tried it on my iPhone 11 first, which I use for teaching English. No directions. But, I know how the game works, so it should be a problem. I went to the game itself and began. I got the categories and the timer, but no letter. Hmmm. I paused the timer and then, only then, did the letter show. I restarted the timer and no letter. That’s not just annoying but downright unhelpful. A big that needs to be worked out immediately. Then I tried in on my iPhone 16+, in case it was because my 11 was just a bit out of date. But nope, it was the same. Blank how-to-play page and no letter given. I also agree with the reviewer who suggested a way to change the timer. Since I use this in an online classroom, I can use a timer and a spinner with letters. I can use this just for the categories but this app has a critical failing in that the letter doesn’t show.

Nice companion….how about…

Nice companion. Ability to change category for single line is great. And generated letter is great Suggestion: - ability to change timer with options: 1min, 2min, 3min - ability to change view: horizontal or vertical when turning iPad/iPhone

Thank you!

This app is nearly perfect! I love having the ability to shuffle through catergories. The only complaint I have is about the timer—it’s very big. It covers the majority of the categories causing you to have to scroll. And when multiple people are playing, it doesn’t work. Please make the timer small and make it so I don’t have to scroll during gameplay.
