This game is pay-to-win, so people willing to spend money are going to beat you. Even if you do pay, you have to watch ads after every game. If you're just interested in fun, and thus try to play without using the extra stuff, it will *stop the game* and won't continue until you use the extra features, breaking your flow. The high rating (4.3 stars) is from the old game that used to be here. The company got to keep the old reviews despite changing the game that was here. It's tricky stuff. | 07/11/2024 | |

It's a fun game that's straightforward to play. You can pay for more decks, but there are no pay-to-win mechanics, absurd subscriptions, or other fun-killing ways to make money. It's fairly simple but complex enough that there's a bit of strategy involved and you can get some good milage out of the game. | 07/08/2024 | |

Obviously you're meant to match the pitch on screen, but it loops for an unspecified number of times without any way to tell when it will end. It gives you a score, but doesn't explain what's wrong. It will only plot your singing pitch if you wear headphones, but when you wear headphones the music is out of sync with what's on screen, making it difficult to sort out what's going on. The interface is buggy, often not responding to taps or drags. Uses non-English words despite choosing English. | 07/08/2024 | |

There aren't multiple places to sync. You need an account to even use the thing. It says it syncs to "the cloud" but doesn't say what that is, so who knows where your data are going. It's expensive. There are other scanning apps thst are better. | 06/30/2024 | |

Incredibly slow. It takes at least a minute to find the values from a scanned receipt. You could easily have entered the information. You'd never want to scan a bunch and let it do that in the background because then you'd need to go back over everything to check that it got it right. Adding to reports takes a bunch of clicks, and the interface is really slow, pausing for nearly a second for each click. This is awful. You could enter everything by hand faster than this. | 06/30/2024 | |
|
This is a train wreck. The interface is a mess. It never reads the date correctly, and it often reads the transaction amount incorrectly, so you need to manually edit every scan. A subscription for software like this is a hard sell in the first place. The to ask for a subscription for something that doesn't work is absolutely. Then to ask $70 for a subscription is insane. | 06/30/2024 | |

Can't even get through the set up. | 06/30/2024 | |
|
The mechanic is interesting at first but it gets old fast, especially since it appears designed for you to constantly fail, forcing you to watch ads. There a build up to some sort of story, but it doesn't seem interesting. | 06/27/2024 | |

The Google Home app is confusingly organized and they constantly move things around. Thankfully you don't need it for much. You do need it for the Google Home Assistant though, an equally half baked product that they keep removing useful features from. | 06/25/2024 | |

The app is easy enough to use, but it constantly breaks the maps with incorrect updates, resizing rooms or adding areas that don't exist. It randomly deletes your schedules! Ridiculous. I want to set this up once and leave it alone, not periodically fix things that shouldn't have happened in the first place. It also nags about updates when opening the app. Response to the dev: Why tell me how to work around problems in your app? Maybe fix it instead? | 05/30/2024 | |

Doesn't work. | 05/23/2024 | |

Doesn't work right. | 05/23/2024 | |

It's half baked. The search feature is useless. Lists are shown as thumbnails, instead of showing the titles in a list, forcing you to scroll by a bunch of stuff to get to the list you want. You can't make home screen shortcuts to specific lists. Instead, you can only create widgets that take up a bunch of space. When you select a list by long pressing, you must reach to the top of your phone to press the "X" to deselect it. If you use the back button as one would usually do, it exits the app. | 05/12/2024 | |

If you had the version before subscriptions it was great. It's probably not worth it now. | 05/08/2024 | |

I have the old version which was really nice, and I gave it 5 stars. People are going to come here and think I gave 5 stars to the new version though. The new version isn't nearly good, and that's what's available to new people, so I'm changing my review so they aren't misled. | 05/03/2024 | |

This thing is not done and they don't seem to be focusing on the core issues. There's no indication whether conversations have new messages. There aren't read receipts. Text entry doesn't work right. Yet in the last update the new features are leaving voice messages...? Why not implement the core functionality first? | 03/14/2024 | |

The cameras are nice, but this app is very lacking. It has full page ads. Notifications are buggy. The interface to review videos and turning on and off cameras is a pain . After years the updates have only made it worse. When you click a button, instead of doing the action, an ad appears hiding the button, so you need to click the ad, then go back and click the button again. It's built-in malware. It's not worth replacing these, but if I buy new cameras they won't be from Eufy. | 03/14/2024 | |
|
It's got all the features that I like and doesn't force any Google stuff on you. | 08/21/2023 | |
|
It requires permission to access your notifications, which gives it a huge amount of information. It needs this to block notifications, which is only one of its features and one I don't care about. Without the ability to run it without using risky permissions, I'm not going to use it. | 07/19/2023 | |

The puzzles are not too challenging but they also aren't rote or obvious. It looks very nice and has some humorous stuff. It's appropriately priced. I thought the ending was a weak point though. It was mostly by accident. I learned I can't quickly kill the elder, and that I can't not kill him. The third time while testing things, by chance I killed him at the right time, which gives away the answer. That was OK but not great. Then it's just "Let's go home", which was anticlimactic. Still fun. | 06/19/2023 | |

I really doubt the sleep cycle activity is even slightly accurate. Having woke up and peered at the time before going back to sleep, then checking those times in the morning, it never says I'm awake at those times. The alarm also seems to go off randomly instead of at the top of my sleep cycle. I think it tracks furnace activity instead of sleep activity and is useless. | 03/15/2023 | |
|
Paying for an app is reasonable. Paying a subscription service for an alarm is ridiculous. You don't need to pay the subscription, but you'll be nagged about it. | 03/09/2023 | |
|
All I want is an icon to open the shopping list app. Despite the claims, this can't do that. | 03/01/2023 | |
|
It doesn't work any more. No new messages appear in the app. | 01/27/2023 | |

The cameras are nice, but this app is very lacking. It has ads; that's absurd. Notifications are buggy - if you use the app to change where the camera points it sends a bunch of notifications. Instead of a list of recorded clips with sections for day, it has a page for every day. Turning off cameras is more complicated than necessary - there's not just an on/off button on the camera screen. Since this was written, updates make it even more tedious to turn off cameras. It makes no sense. | 06/05/2022 | |
|
These are not puzzles. They are tasks. It's not fun. | 04/14/2022 | |
| (This review has been deleted) You can check out all sorts of things, which is itself great, and the interface is top notch - fast and easy to use. | 03/23/2022 | |
|
The story is decent but has a touch of cringey dialog. The puzzles are only ok. | 11/27/2021 | |
| (This review has been deleted) Not very interesting puzzles. Maybe ok for kids. | 11/26/2021 | |
|
It's nice overall. I just have a few quibbles, such as the need to close a page in order to delete it. | 11/02/2021 |
