Awesome

Classic MIT beer distribution game adaptation. I like the ability to set lead time and order range. Would be nice if we can change order pattern in addition to order range.

The app becomes completely unresponsive once you get to the game screen—buttons don't work, no way to place order, go back/quit without closing the app. Tried it on both an iPhone X iOS 12.1.2 and iPad (didn't get SW version) with the same results.

I’d like to echo another reviewer. The app becomes unresponsive once you start a game.


Unresponsive once you start

Echoing the two previous comments. The game is completely unresponsive once opened.
