  9. [R28] Akinator 1/5 · US the dumb anti-cheat system thing: ok so I’m trying to make Akinator guess a pop tart and I selected all the answers that made sense and Akinator’s final answer was a pop tart and when I clicked yes it said that I got penalized and im in 300th place in ranking
  10. [R40] Akinator 2/5 · US I got penalized??: So I was trying to guess an object in my car and all of a sudden when it guessed my object correctly, it said I was cheating!? Why? I was just on a car ride looking for random things and now I can’t participate in the rankings. Fix your game.
  11. [R43] Akinator 1/5 · US Tricked me: This game has a thing in where it will see if you are trying to trick to get free in game money. It would do this to me every once in a while. But this time was different i fell for it once, then i went into another round and was trying to guess a gymnast because i wanted to guess a rare one. So I finished the round and got a trick so i said no and then got another trick back to back,
  12. [R10] Akinator 1/5 · US I will never get this app again 0 stars: This game records you I was with my brother and on the 5 or 4 try and he got it its like it stalks you
  13. [R22] Akinator 1/5 · US This is apparently fricked up: I was trying to guess Raina Telgemeier and the Akinator had the audacity to ask "is your character famous for their body' like WHAT?! this game not only sexualizes characters but irl people too, don't get this game if you are not 13+

  15. [R63] UNO!™ 3/5 · US Fun but extremely annoying.: I absolutely love this game and really enjoy playing but omg, the pop ups are so irritating. If you close the game mode to go to the Home Screen you get at least 5 pop ups. It’s driving me insane that I have to close the same pop ups over and over again to get to where I want. This is also my first review ever. I have never written a review on anything but that’s how b
  16. [R75] UNO!™ 3/5 · US I just wanna play uno: I can't get into an actual uno game without getting stopped by at least 3 pop ups and a ad everytime its getting VERY annoying. No I don't wanna claim this and claim that all I wanna do is play the damn game. So I'm deleting this and getting a different uno app that hopefully is way better.
  17. [R87] UNO!™ 3/5 · US Ad central: Open the app, see a few ads. Try to join a game, another ad. After the game, another ad. Sneeze too hard? Another ad! Just ad after ad 🤣
  18. [R88] UNO!™ 1/5 · US Love the game: Adds are atrocious.
  19. [R61] UNO!™ 1/5 · US Rigged as hell: Please do not play this game because when ever you lose they take your money that you earned from the game like wtf. When you don’t have enough coins and you want to play with your teammates they don’t allow you. When the person doesn’t have the card they make you draw 4 cards when you were actually right.please update your game or do something about it.I don’t recommend uno fans t
  20. [R64] UNO!™ 1/5 · US Rigged: Horrible, I got 100 coins when I won but when the opponent won they got 657 of MY coins, MY. So, if you want to crash out play this game.
  21. [R72] UNO!™ 3/5 · US Ensures you lose big: If you want to actually enjoy this app: Do not give this app any money. And do not take all of their tempting side quests. Just stick with single multiplier classic Uno. Any other approach to this game and you will find yourself being manipulated and then tricked by the developers of this game. It just happened to me two minutes ago. I took the bait again. I started playing o
  22. [R79] UNO!™ 1/5 · US Horrible - wants to take all your money and so obviously: Spend spend spend and they’ll take take take. Barely any free options - and if there are it’s like 100 coins which barely gets you one game.
  23. [R2] Akinator 5/5 · US His mind is 100% good! 😊: So, I’ve been playing Akinator for about 18 months, but I have never been like this in my 7: year old kid.
