Reviews
Terrible. App ruins game experience.

This app hasn’t been updated in 3 years, and it is currently broken. It doesn’t work properly because the app stops playing the audio when your phone’s display auto-locks! So right while all of your eyes are closed, the app stops working! We emailed the developers several times, and they have ignored all of our emails! Fix this app! We are reporting this app to Apple.
The Narraration Doesn’t Play
RuthKay:)
We love the game and have played it with other people and think that the narration piece is great and really adds to it. Unfortunately, both my husband and I have tried downloading the app on our iPhones and the narrarations don’t play when we press the play buttons. Really disappointed. Would love to hear it working!
Fix (or WARN the user) about auto lock problem

As another review pointed out, the app defeats itself when our eyes are closed and the narration shuts off because my phone auto locks after 2 minutes. Downloaded this while explaining the game to a new group, hit play and it stopped while the fists were on the table. Didn’t know why till I just read the other review. Either fix it so the auto lock won’t activate or give a warning dialogue to adjust auto lock settings. Will gladly rate 5 stars if you can fix this Love the game by the way!!!

The worst
Mr.bluesky123321
I thought this would do a the explaining for me it but the audio did not even work on it
Great way to get started

This app is perfect to start the game. It might seem long winded if you’re a liberal but it’s important to get the roles right in a non-rushed manner for the ‘red’ team. At 45 seconds of narration startup for a 5-6 player game, it’s just fine. A player can’t narrate the game as well as they might give clues depending on their role. Maybe they’re good enough not to do that but use the app and you don’t have to worry. For the reviews that complained about the app shutting off mid-narration. That’s your device sleep settings. Use the app. It’s a fair start to the game and Wil will remind you of the good old days on Star Trek.
Doesn’t work

The only thing that does work is the video link to YouTube. All the audio doesn’t play, I’ve toggled all of my audio settings and nothing happens.
Worthless

No audio despite messing with settings and researching causes for an hour. Completely frustrated and annoyed.
Nighttime Directions Busted
Geeford Stanley
The sections to play the nighttime directions don't work. The overall How To Play works but that's it. Please fix.
Wayyyyy too long-winded!

We used the app narration a total of ONE time. It was so long and unfunny that it would have been painful to use it again. I love Wil and love the game but please - give us a version that we can use every time we play! Don’t forget, everyone has their eyes closed and a closed fist extended toward the center of the play area for the entire time the narration is running. This overly-long narration actually makes it more likely that someone will mess up and open their eyes or just get tired of holding their fist out and screw up. Too bad - it was a cute idea.
