fun app concept with great presentation and trivia. but it can be very buggy. It still needs a lot of work. there are moments where the scoring screen can turn blank, leaving no way to progress
It's really terrible. Can't believe I paid for this. The interface is really difficult to use, and the interactive parts I've found impossible to activate. 2 weeks on the trot I forgot to put in my predictions ahead of the best episode, but today I remembered! And it still said I was too late to take part! And the spotting the objects game, oh my gosh. It's just red, red, red. It just doesn't work.
I completed the questions for the fantasy league but didn't submit them, apparently. My fault obviously, but there should be a way to remedy it. The answers are in there and unchangeable, but can't count now? Totally ruined the experience.
Love the game show, and I think the idea for an app is great, but the app's options are so limited and unfinished, that I feel it wasn't worth my money.
For the price truly underwhelming, as a big fan of the show I am very disappointed and feel like this was a cheap cash grab.
Unimpressed that there is so much paid in app content when you have to pay for the app in the first place. Disappointed at this money grab.
3.99 for a poorly made unfun app. Nothing like the TV show. Wish I could get a refund for this
The app doesn't load. All I get is a white screen for ages. Worse £3.99 I've ever spent!
Paid $2 and setup an account, not sure where others are paying additional money as it all seems to be there. My concern would be that my account was lost after the series 19 finale and with it any record of fantasy league/academy answers. I joined in only in the last 3 episodes so no chance of high score but concerning for future series if I try again
Poor value, particularly considering it asks for more money to unlock the full content.
Buggy, clunky, and requires more purchases to unlock most of the features. I barely looked at it after day one, and have now uninstalled it.
I was reluctant to pay for an app, especially a relatively expensive one, but decided that it would be worth it. Therefore I found it galling and frankly unacceptable to be expected to pay additional money for the jukebox. That I won't be doing. Surely Alex has earned enough money from Taskmaster to allow access to the full app on purchase?
I paid $8 for this and I need to make in-app purchases to do the quizzes?! I find that kind of insulting. AND only three seasons to watch along with. If I had known those two things, I'd never have spent money on this app. This is very un-Horne like :(
I love the idea of the app and even paid for it, which I never normally do. I did not then expect in app purchases to unlock more content. It should be a free download with pay to unlock bonus content, or a paid download but everything's included. Paying upfront, and then having to pay again to unlock bits, feels cheap and exploitative. I've uninstalled and refunded. Great idea, works fairly well for the parts I could access. I'd buy again if pricing is made fairer.
