I read in the reviews that matches take a long time to complete because you can potentially wait days for other players to take their turn. They are right. The developers could install a timer to encourage active engagement but it might just result in more forfeited games. Overall, it’s fun but I prefer playing in person. I would buy the real game and play with people you know. It’s more fun when you know how to connect with people based on your shared experiences and memories together.

This is a great game for adults and older children. Making them think hard and a brain teaser.

No duet version on this game?? I don’t want to play against the assassin.

I like the game but I wish there was an option to play against or with the computer. It gets frustrating waiting on others. Sometimes I just feel like playing

Why does the codenames app limit to 4 players?? This is so dumb and unnecessary when the board game says MINIMUM 4 players to 8+. Now our group of ~10 isn’t able to play together & we each had to spend $5 to realize this. Awful. We would happily pay for the app if it was like the original online version (NOT the terrible UI revised as of Dec 2025, but how it had been Dec 2024 and before). Such a shame for such a fun game.

Since I bought this game there have been numerous times where it did not work and a subsequent message saying they are fixing it. Fine, but (for example) today it kept not working and because of it, I lost one of the daily challenges that I had begun. It’s bad enough that I have to wait for them without one being expired when it is the game’s fault. I feel they should recompense me with an extra few challenges. And it has done it again! Down for several hours where it kept the loading screen. When it finally finished its “Maintenance,” my scenario was gone and o was told I had to wait 8 hours for the next one. There should be a complaint section to complain about these issues!

The app is well made and works very well. However, the word list is extremely, extremely small. You will see multiple repeats within just a few games.

I really love this game so much. I spent money on it just to get the app. However, I despise that you can only play the game in landscape mode. I feel like you should have the option to choose portrait or landscape. This is very annoying because literally nothing else on my phone is in that direction. And I just don’t like it.

Second Update after several more weeks of play: -Based on years of experience playing iOS games, I can confidently report that this one has the greatest amount of Server Downtime that I've encountered. IMO, the Developers need to prioritize fixing this game play disruption. PLEASE FIX THIS *********** First Update after two weeks of playing this game: -The developers need to fix the regular server connectivity problems I have noticed. Ideally, solo game play would work better if offline play capability were available because the server down time is too frequent (this is the only app during the period that has inflicted this issue on me. ************* ORIGINAL Review: I'd rate this port of Codenames with 5 stars instead of 3 if only the Developer would update the game to allow endless solo game sessions WITHOUT requiring players to wait for the next solo game playing time window to open. BASICALLY, I want to be able to play solo games whenever and for however long I want to play and without having to wait...‼️
