HardBack App Reviews

I like the game, but the app needs to be developed a little more. Every time a game gets up to 5 active timeless classics, the AI opponent freezes and the app crashes. At that point, there’s nothing to do but abandon the game and start a new one, because the bug will keep kicking you off the app. Hopefully they’ll fix this in an update soon. It would also be nice to be able to purchase some of the fan fiction variants.

There aren’t enough turn taking games like this made in such great quality. My wife and I love playing this game and we even bought the real life version. The tutorial is good but could be a little better. You need to read the rules to really understand what the abilities do. The online play is very solid but I’d prefer to stay in the game and play with my letters while waiting for my turn.

I bought this after playing the board game, which is great. The app is tiny! My vision is normal, but this is painful and hampers the fun. Please remove some of the dead space on the board to enlarge cards, and enable pinch to zoom.

How does AI player (hard) score .06 cents on the very first turn when a player can only score 5 max. Odd. I feel cheated.

Great game! Loads of fun! I enjoy this one more than paperback... & I love paperback!

I really wanted to play this game with my wife and it looks like it could’ve been a really good game which is why I gave it four stars. Unfortunately I get an HTTP error when I try to connect to an online game. It looks like they don’t really support this anymore so I’m guessing I just got it for no reason. Too bad.

This game is perfect and the app is perfect.

Great game! Will certainly stretch your vocabulary to find the right word to get the extra 3 points you need to snatch victory in the last turn. A few suggestions that really really do need attention. 1. For a word game to include spelling errors in the labels/game instructions is just plain shoddy workmanship. Fix them! 2. Really need some form of statistics for keeping track of local scores - how many games played, won, lost, highest scores, champion words, etc at various levels. 3. Woul

This is yet another so so mobile version of a wonderful card game. It does not work properly on iPhone X and it has not been updated for newer iPad pros. When the app works it is a lot of fun but the app gets in the way. On the iPhone it loses track of ink and has scoring glitches. On the iPad it occasionally freezes. I really want to love this app and I hope it gets the updates it deserves.

This has been going on for weeks now. It won’t accept my password and when I try to reset, the “reset password” button doesn’t work. I was really enjoying this game until this point but it was primarily a long-distance game for me. There’s no point without online access to my play friends.

The game itself is enjoyable but as others have said the online multiplayer is unusable since I cannot add new friends on the new server. The developer has not yet responded to my support requests. I’d hold off on any purchase until this is resolved.
