This is a very good game, but there are 2 main problems. For one, watching an ad when akinator guesses a rare character should not be required, and also, 2 times when i was trying to guess a not well known character, it said i was trying to steal and AKI award and changed my ranking from 60 to 3006! Why? Thats a cool feature and all but i was just trying to guess a rare character to get my rank up. Please change that.
Reviews for Akinator
← Back to AkinatorI used to really love this app, I like the addition of daily challeges and i like the leaderboard. I can even deal with the constant ads and having to watch videos to see the guesses for premium characters but I dont like how there seems to be a limit on how many videos I can watch before the app just grays out the option and I can't find out if it guessed correctly.
I remembered this from my childhood as a free flash game. It's even better at guessing now. Problem is if you go above around twenty questions, it makes you watch an ad to go on. Until it stops letting you watch the ad and forces you to pay vip. I don't like paying for free things. Make your app cost money if you want people to pay for it. or just call it a demo version and have paying money unlock it. Don't lop off a bit of the game and call it "premium".
It's good, but the adds are horrible. I remember this game being the most fun thing ever with friends, but now you can't look up a character without it being "rare" and needing to watch a add or pay to see them, and in my experience, most times the adds dont even work and it just grays out the button even though I watched the adds. Such a good game thats fallen from its old glory, I'll be uninstalling.
Used to be simple and a great game to pass the time and guess with other people. Now, you guess a "rare character" which is the goal of the game and it either makes you pay to see the guess or watch an ad. The only problem is the ads dont even play. So you're forced to skip it and not even find out his guess. The game is ruined. It's time to to say goodbye to an old classic. RIP.
Great at first! And then... Loved playing it! Got 1st in the leaderboards, and tried really hard, then it said he thought I was faking it because I was answering too fast. I'm upset because he knocked me down to #238 from #1 place all because I was answering too fast! And another thing is sometimes it says I HAVE to pay to get a rare object, even though before it just let me watch an ad. It's frustrating and I'd rather spend my time doing something else at this point.
Had this years ago and it was super fun, guessed almost every one right, was completely free and then the other day I remembered it and downloaded it and the first character was a "vip" character. Anyways so figured I'd just watch an ad but the ad wouldn't work so after 5 minutes it did and my character was wrong. Also I got a gold award but when I went to check I didn't have one but I had the bronze ones I had won. Also it kept guesing that I was randomly pressing answers and I was not.
I find this app hilarious. I enjoy how it's able to find out what you're thinking about through the data that other users have given, but I find the most fun in finding characters, objects, and whatnot that it had never been told of before. Though, I don't really appreciate how if you trick it, it doesn't reward you. I think it should give you a reward for being able to have a completely new character/object/whatnot. 😂
Needs an option to opt out from the ranking/leaderboard system. I'm tired of getting penalized for falling for these "traps". I'm not trying to farm awards, I'm just curious on how rare whatever character the akinator recommends is. 9 times out of 10 I play again right afterwards to play my actual character. I'd rather just be able to play the game I've made in-app purchases on without worry of these frivolous penalties when I never wanted to compete in the first place!!
Really cool idea, large database of characters. The biggest issue I'm seeing, he doesn't ask enough questions to really pinpoint the character. Between that problem and him using the exact same questions in linear order, it makes it almost impossible to get the "black" level rewards on certain characters. If he jumps to conclusions super early like he often does, you can't continue because you won't be awarded if he doesn't guess it on the first try. That part doesn't really make sense.
Not really a complaint with the game itself, but it guesses characters too fast. I'll have a character that has criteria that somewhat fits another, but it'll guess that other one, repeatedly, and never guess the one I'm actually trying to get, making it really difficult to get the award for that character. On top of that, when it gets it wrong, there's like, a 70-80% chance it plays an ad that i have to sit through before i can go again. Otherwise, the game is perfectly fine.
It was fun at first, before I discovered a hidden character. I was willing to watch the ads, but now it keeps saying "video not available", and I'm sure as hell not gonna spend money on a stupid little game like this. If you can actually provide the videos, then I'll gladly change my rating ans review. Otherwise? Don't waste your time.
The game itself is pretty fun. It's a good concept, and it's executed well. The only problem I have with it is how many ads there are in the game. Did you make akinator guess an obscure character? Welp, you gotta watch an ad to see the result. Did you just get a character right? Oh, look, another ad! I can understand the ad after akinator guesses the character, but when you're checking if you got a rare character, there shouldn't be any ads.
I really like this app. I like it because when I'm bored or don't know what to do, I just hop on Akinator and start playing. This app does require you to watch a few ads when you're done guessing a character. It will say something like "You thought of a Rare Character!" And then you have to pick to watch an ad or buy the premium potion. Never have I bought the premium potion. I have always watched ads. But, other than watching ads and/or buying the premium potion, this game is really good 👍
Instead of just playing the game they added a point system & micro transactions. If you make him guess certain characters, they are marked as rare and you have to watch an add to see if he guessed right. If he guesses wrong, it is your loss and not his. Either he gets it right, or you get it wrong. This seems like a quick cash grab, but I must give my respects to the developers. They got over 100M people to download this game, including me. I hope they are spending wisely
I would have given the app a 5 star review as my daughter & I were having loads of fun with it. However, we got "penalized" for "irregular game activity" or something like that. But we've only played it legitimately since we installed it. We did attempt the same character 3 times in a row, but I dont think players should be penalized for trying for the same character multiple times. I think you should have a better system in place for catching "irregular" players so innocent players dont suffer
Wow, that's a lot more ads than before. Several, different types of ads. videos playing while you're playing the game, drowning out the music, across the bottom of the screen, after every guessed character, every time you guess a character that's too rare, etc. it's unbearable.
I think the game is fun and a really creative idea but with almost all of the characters you have to pay $4 and this feature has caused me to uninstall, like I said i like the game but having to pay is just creating an obstacle to play. If the paying feature were to be taken out of the game I would install again and play. Sorry for a paragraph and if you have read then good job person.
This was fun for a bit. Then I started thinking of obscure characters. I played for several minutes just for the app to say, "Oh, you're thinking of a rare character! You can't play anymore unless you pay!" Then your game just ends. I'm not paying four bucks to see a "rare" character. I WOULD have paid money for a game that doesn't use such insulting tactics to get at my money, though. Just charge up front if I can't play the game without paying anyway! Uninstalled!
The trick questions/answers are kinda new to the game, (at least since I've last downloaded) I get why the game does that, but it can be frustrating to deal with when you get docked points. Got an answer right but it thought I was lying, so, I lost points. All because I don't know if a "Jennifer Garner" plays a role in the tv show I've started watching and thinking of. Sadly after a couple failed, irritating, attempts to accept the right answer, unfortunately I'm not sure I want this app anymore
