That's So... 90's

I want to give this game more stars, but, quite frankly there’s just too much. Most of it is common sense answers that are missing. Your lists need to be updated to accept these answers. Example would be you don’t have all the actors who’ve played batman listed as possible answers. There’s also an issue when listing multiples of movies like example Back to the Future will often accept one and two but will claim it as a repeat if you enter three. Since typing fast and accurate on a phone is often hard to do it would be great if we could have an auto fill feature. It also wouldn’t hurt to double check what the person is actually writing. If I put mammals don’t give me monotreme. Lastly, I get that you’re trying not to allow sensitive words to be typed, but, if you’re asking me what goes in soup and I’m typing crackers, I’m obviously talking about crackers. If you’re asking for wedding dress designers and I put Vera Wang I’m clearly just trying to answer the question. There have been several instances of trying to add what would be a right answer but the game won’t accept it. Your sensors are way too high for this game. Other than that the game has potential. A little less ads, a lot less time to take your turn before you forfeit, a lot more categories(too many repeats), and some basic tuning and this game could be lots of fun.

This is a fun game and pluses far outweigh the few flaws. Unlike the regular Scategories app you don’t run out of coins/lives and have to wait or pay to get them refreshed. Big plus! In general I’m amazed at how comprehensive their answer database is, but there are a few categories that are frustrating. For instance, for “formal table settings” it recognizes butter knife but not steak knife (or even just “knife”). Type plate and it populates “service plate” but salad and bread plate—nope. Also, there are some categories with limited answers (chess pieces, colors of the rainbow) and for those if both competitors know all the answers typing speed rather correct answers determine the victor for that round. Fortunately for me it ignores most minor typos so my thumbs can go faster than usual. One administrative annoyance — they cheerfully encourage you to contact customer support with questions/feedback and they’ll reply via email. They never respond and I doubt anyone ever reads them. I quit trying.

I’m loving this game. There are some problems with items that clearly belong in categories that are missing (“singing” and “birthday boy” not allowed for “items needed for a birthday party,” for instance), and there are some errors (mostly of spelling—you have got to fix the misspelling of “monotreme” in the “animals that lay eggs” list because it doesn’t even accept the correct spelling ... incidentally mollusks need to be added to that list), but that’s unavoidable since the game deals with literally everything on the planet. A couple changes I think wouldn’t be too hard to do and that I think would improve the game experience, are to put the list of completed games above the list of games where it’s “their turn,” since you have to manually go through and collect your coins or whatever. Scrolling though dozens of stagnant games is annoying; it would be nice if the timeout was a couple of days instead of what it is, which I don’t even know since I’ve been playing for a week and they’re still there. I do not enjoy the repeated clicking and animations required to finish out completed games. There needs to be a way to clear them all with one button, or at least to skip all the intermediate stuff and go straight to the final list/reward. Anyway thank you for this game. I enjoy it (and the regular Scattergories game too).
