Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Downloaded directly from our Apple Watch but it doesnt support putting an icon for the app on your hole screen sadly.
We absolutely love the amount of features. This app includes and Ive always love the Magic Ball concept so we would definitely recommend.
Fun to play around with, already grinded to over 5,000 clicks.
The reality is this Magic Ball, not a Magic Eight Ball. Weird.
Its a really fun game, we like how you can edit the app icon for free and the theme and everything, Its really entertaining, Its a fun game to play when your bored, Im glad we have this game.
An interesting and modern take on a throwback classic.
Cant wait to integrate this fabulous tool back into our life.
Fun and worth the money! It has a lot of features, including customization.
This app is cool!!! Runs well with no glitches. You can type questions or speak question and it reads the response out loud. It has really cute themes you can select; actually it has allot of options to customize out!!! We recommend it.
This app is a nice addition to our Apple Watch when Im happy.
We literally did not expect this to actually be so cool, but theres so much you can do and Im honestly in awe and will use this for everything, also Ive never written a review for anything and we felt like this was worth the review thats how cool we think it is haha thank you for this, literally came across it accidentally too omg.
Really cool app with lots of different modes and functions. Not just an average magic 8 ball.
This app is the best magic ball app is the best! We use it on the daily to determine what we should do! We even got to meet the developer of the app he is so cool and should make more apps! :).
We were going to rob a bank but magic 8 ball told us not to do it, thank you magic 8 ball.
Get this app. Helps with moments you want to leave up to chance and feels nostalgic. This app added so much joy and ease to our life!!!! Also they dedicated the app to cats :,).
There are so many options and themes to make it your own.
We enjoy the classic game. It has plenty of settings to customize your fun. Highly recommend.
Its okay. Kind of complicated.
We spent so long on this game customizing our magic ball it was so much fun we hope you download it and have so much fun.
We really enjoy this app. Its a lot of fun and very entertaining.
Charged us .99 plus tax for just installing the app and didnt give no authorization for the transaction.
We got 100/100 with this app on our final term quiz! (satire don't do this).
Still using this app and loving it. Thank you for giving us a part of our life we thought was gone.
Great app, like being a kid again.
Hey! We dont usually write reviews but we felt like this deserved one. We absolutely love this app. Quite a few months ago, we wanted to figure out a decision. Not sure what it wasbut we wanted a magic 8 ball nonetheless. We saw this and decided to give it a download. A very good decision on our part, haha get it decision? Im not very funny. This app has a lot of cool features. We really like the quirky achievements, like mentioning cookie clicker on the 3000th try of magic 8 ball, and witching hour, opening the app at midnight. We especially like all the custom responses you can do! You can literally type anything! We have a pack of about 50 or so right now and its just honestly what we would say if we were a magic 8 ball, but you could do so much more! We have to mention the widget real quick. Its like a fortune, and always SO SCARILY ACCURATE! Our friend was trying to help us do something and it said Someone will help you with something, (which the message shows pretty often but cool coincidence). Overall an amazing app! We listed our favorite features here but there are so many more to discover. Great app, Im excited to see what comes in new updates! :).
All the fun of the game you remember now on your phone. And made by a high schooler! Fantastic job.
Sempre quis ter e agora tenho. Bo demais.
Havent had this for very long, on the IPhone it seems to work great. Especially awesome that you can change what the app logo looks like! Nice touch there. Only issue is that parts of the app dont work with the Apple Watch, so Im stoked for an update.
Good one since we ask yes or no like that… You know what we mean :) .
Start with settings that don't work and move along to the glaring spellings like "Yes spelled as Yess". Animations don't work on iPad Pro. The developer should review app before releasing it. Even free apps deserve quality control…….we just got a notice. The developer instead of checking out the bugs decided to insult us and post that we're a liar. Apple should drop this developer for being so rude. We have received another response from the developer. Quote "we're sorry about the reply. You did come across as a little rude to us, but that was no way for us to reply" End Quote. The developer should have stopped with "we're Sorry" . We have removed the app from our iPad and stick by our review which was not a lie. Some settings do not function properly and the app has spelling errors. The point of the review process is to make apps better.
Fun app with a lot of customizable options.
Yesssssss worksssssss greatsssssssss.
Hey Hayden!! We love the app, we just got it yesterday for our iPhone and it is GREAT! We just loaded it with all the best local fast food places and restaurants. Our boyfriend and we are both incredibly indecisive almost every single date night we try to plan together. This should be a fun fix to that! However, we are having a hard time getting the app to work the same on our Apple Watch. How can we get the custom responses to come up on our watch, instead of the default ones? Is this possible yet, or do we just not know how to use our watch correctly? (we also just got our watch like two weeks ago..) Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Best APP to decide on any food or a second opinion on anything you desire.
Theres no ads. So many custom features!!! Its sooo fun! Highly recommend downloading.
The app is pretty cool but what we would suggest you do with the creative responses is create albums. It seems like you cant change the responses on the topics already given so if we were able to make albums with topics like date ideas activities work outs vs clicking custom response and you have a gang of random things in there, it would make things a lot more easy and fun.
Functionally identical to the original black plastic ball like our grandparents had when we were a kid. The only way it could be better: by actually being that black plastic ball.
We love this app so much we love how you can customize the app and the background and we love all the different options so we would recommend this app to anybody with troubles of choosing things.
We wud like the magic 8 ball to have a true answer.
As a busy executive, we rely on the magic 8 ball to help us to determine how best to progress. The only challenge is deciding what the yes or no question is. Just kidding – but it is super fun to have on our watch and totally worth the 99 cents.
Its worth the money and fun to do with friends.
Omg! This reminds us of the one we shook to death when we were a kid!! Its so awesome.
Keeps crashing on our Apple Watch.
But with more customization! Funny because not too long ago we were just thinking of buying an actual 8 ball in a store but decided against it. Then we saw this app in the App Store. You can customize the colors, theme, responses and even the app icon! And more. We dont know how it could be any better. Its nostalgic and fun. If you like asking an 8 ball questions, then this app is for you.
Exactly as advertised. We do like the custom response feature.
We were never good at making decisions quickly but now we make them very quickly and poorly. Thank you magic 8 ball.
A lot of different options to choose from.
Great app, loads of customizable features and personalization. Best magic 8-Ball app available. Achievements are a great touch.
We are delighted to report that this app is completely accessible to the visually impaired via voiceover. A very special thanks to the developer for ensuring that everyone, not only the cited, has access to this marvelous app.
Just like the real thing. Your able to make your own responses.
