HardBack for Negative User Reviews

Can’t access so why did I pay for it?????At some point it locks you out of the account, says incorrect password and if you try to reset it just gets stuck so there is no way to do so...so the whole reason I overplayed to play this game with friends and family long distance asynchronously is lost as I am locked out and are games are done. Disappointing.Version: 1.01e

Fully Non-Functional on iPad 3 iOS 9.3.5This backgrounds instantly on launch 100% of the time. I restarted my machine and reinstalled the app. No changes. I'm hoping this can be fixed. I'm a fan of Tim's other designs..Version: 1.01d

Could be betterEdit: online system is back up and running. It’s a good game, but the scoring could be more visible, especially between online turns. Previous review: Was enjoying it, but then all my online games disappeared and it now won’t let me log in online at all. It’s no fun playing word games against a computer! Also, it crashes even on high end devices like iPad 2017. And why on earth can’t I look at my online games between turns?.Version: 1.01e

No way to flush the offer (corrected)I'm over my disappointment of Paperback, the app, not allowing for player powers. Because of that, I expected some of the rules to be missing from the app compared to the board game. Something as vital as the ability to flush the Offer should not have been left out [and wasn't]. I'm disappointed. I'll get over it, because it's a great game even with a stripped version..Version: 1.01d

Can’t log in or reset passwordThis 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..Version: 1.22

Technical issuesGreat game but there are so many problems with the app, generic http errors!! Also the dictionary is not great - it doesn’t accept standard words. We paid for the app - can these bugs be fixed please ?!.Version: 1.01e

Locks up after inspecting offer rowCan corroborate earlier review.Version: 1.01e

Fan of physical, OS version could use workOnline issues still continued. I am unsure to add new friends when my list is empty. I just lost all my friends and all my open games. Same with other people I know. Something is broken as I can't add them back now. The UI feels clunky especially async online play. Dev should model this more after the old Carcassonne game where players can see the board even if it isn't their turn. You should have a bar along the bottom that displays players score and ink counts. All buttons should be more defined and identifiable. Would be great to be able to zoom and pan around the board to see details of cards. Play a sound with the notification so we get a buzz. Would love to see this game realize its full potential..Version: 1.22

Great card game. Mediocre appThis 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..Version: 1.01e

Won't work on iPad mini OS 9.3.5Title says it all - love paperback and was looking forward to this one. Just blinks black & bombs. Hopefully a bug they can soon fix..Version: 1.0

Fun game, NEEDS zoomI 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..Version: 1.01e

Does not work, support ignores my requestMy IPad meets all the requirements but it will not run. I tape the icon, my screen goes black and then flips to the minimize state. It will not come back up when tapped. I contacted the company and they seemed to be working on it and then just forgot me. I contacted them again to be told that a closed ticket means they are working on it!! Really?????? I asked for a refund or a substitution of another game. No response. Really tired of trying to get support..Version: 1.01e

Broken on iPhone 11 ProA great great time waster. I love this game (as I do all Fowers games). Sadly it’s broken on my new phone as the display fails to adjust to the extended screen size meaning the black ink store is hidden. So disappointing. Though hopefully an easy fix if the game is still being supported..Version: 1.01e

Bombs out on IOS 9.3.5Very sad as I really like this table top game. Hopefully they will find a fix.Version: 1.01b

Multiplayer is brokenThe 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..Version: 1.22

Buggy and totally unresponsiveA week and a half ago, all of a sudden, new invites weren't showing up in the app -- I'd get a notification, but couldn't accept. So, I figured I'd log out and back in to see if that would fix it, but none of the various passwords I tried worked. Tried resetting the password, TWICE, and never got a response back. I just tried to create a new account, and the app refuses to let me create a new one with my email address. So, the makers of this app can just go to @&$! -- I'm never downloading one of their apps again (Paperback is buggy, too)..Version: 1.01e

Great Game But Locks UpI love the concept of the game. However, the game locks up intermittently after inspecting offer row cards..Version: 1.01e
