Magic 8 bit 8 ball – Entertainment Game Review
Magic 8 bit 8 ball is a Entertainment/Simulation/Family game from Richard Shilton, first launched in 11th January 2016.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 14,438+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Magic 8 bit 8 ball Stand Out
In 1983 a potent mixture of dark magic, sorcery, voodoo, and star anise was all captured in an 8-ball which then gained the power to grant answers to questions that were stated in a very specific way. With a near 100% success rate people found love, jobs, good places to eat, and the 8-ball gained mythical status. Unfortunately, the 8-ball was then lost forever…
…until now (obviously)! Luckily for you, we've captured all the dark energy from the original artefact, and have injected it into the app you are now downloading.
Typical valid questions include:
- Does [person x] love me?
- Will time travel be possible one day?
- Should I go out for pizza tonight?
- Should I download this app?
Typical invalid questions include:
- How dangerous are bears?
- How can I fly this helicopter?
- Quickly, they're coming!
- Oh no, gurgling sound
If you're on iOS14, try out the new magic 8-bit ball widget!
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This was a good and easy way to pass the time, fun. Id tell a friend.
Idk why but we like the Dev. Theyre funny with their replies to some of the reviews and that makes us happy. We think the app is cute btw.
Thank you we used it and it was entertaining and a little assuring.
Best game ever you can ask if your dad is cool.
The app is amazing and works just as intended, but when we set the widget on our home screen it just shows up as a grey box instead. We also agree with some other users that the font is a bit difficult to read.
Could be more fun if it had snarky or quirky responses.
We found this app on our watch and we downloaded it. It was so cool using it.
All hail the mighty magic 8 ball for it has the answers we seek.
Digital version of the eight ball plastic toy from the 80s – early 90s it is addictive and satisfying asking it questions.To remove the ads its 1.99 and well worth it now if we could convince the devs to make a coin pusher digital reproduction Id be all set.
Love this app but the ads drive us NUTS. Kills the vibe just a bit.
We dont have a magic eight ball so Whenever we cant decide we use this app btw our name is ski god but if you want no adds then you will need a watch and the no more adds you are welcome.
Yeah sometimes when Im lonely we stick our di in bonony.
We asked the magic 8 ball if we were pregnant and then we later found out we were not. Dont rely on this magic 8 ball having all the answers.
It helps us take good decisions.
We asked it question abt our love life everything we asked it was true, we asked it we would talk, make eye contact, or even walk past each other . And it all says yes and it literally happened give it a four bc it did lie to us once but its alright.
Never ask more than once the same question, and remember, if youre trying to decide on what you want then whichever it picks will either disappoint you or excite you, if youre excited then you actually wanted it, if you were disappointed, you have your answer.
Brings us back to a simpler time. A great time.
One the game is amazing its for fun not accurate but its a game an two the bad reviews on this app are written by 8 year olds an the developer is just really savage when replying great game would recommend getting an reading the developer responses.
If you ask enough you will get the answer you want.
If you are faced with large, important decisions involving relationships and or money, this is a must. You can always rely on it for the best sense of direction. Why try to figure things out or torment yourself, just shake the 8 ball and let it ride.-Cliff Booth.
Can we please get a feature to allow the widget to work from the Home Screen? We love that you have already incorporated the widget and look forward to seeing progress and updates.
It's an 8 ball, and it's magic. What more could you ever want.
Too much annoying ads! Deleting.
We keep deleting the app and it keeps reinstalling itself without permission and showing on our home screen. It will not delete.
The app is amazing! But there is 1 bug that we got, When we pressed restore purchase, just because our friend dared us to, it said success!. But besides that, the app is amazing.
What a blast from the past, this window to the future! Cannot thank the developer enough for hooking us up with what should never have been lost to begin with. At last, a computerized decision making assistant that takes its job seriously. Now we can really relax, and count our vast winnings.
We had a malicious plan to bomb and elementary school but we didnt know if we should do it or not so we used this app and it said a definite yes so we went in and did it and it felt great 10/10 would do again.
We have been looking for an eight ball app for as long as we can remember. And once we found this app, we were hooked instantly. You should make a SpongeBob eight ball app. That would be the coolest thing ever as well. Keep up the great work.
The physical version of this is better.
How, in this day and age, can we have a low res, pixelated app.
Asked the magic 8 ball if we should go to a party, it said yes, now we have covid from said party.
8-bit graphics..seriously. We feel like Im playing the first model Atari. Most answers given are cannot predict now or better not tell you now. Way better apps available that dont look as old as our great grandfather.
The answer came up as yes to everything no matter what and now our boo hate us cuz of it n we cant with this app no more.
The app itself is okay, just some harmless fun. The ads are annoying, so finally paid for the ads free version. Whelp, still getting ads and now Ive lost money.
It is so bad it's like our grandma and she died.
App doesnt work as its supposed to.
We make all our decisions based on this app.
And less calories then a fortune cookie.
Even the smartest people need a little help making choices sometimes. An awesome anchor.
Definitely most opened app on our phone.
Could be better if there wasnt adds ever other question.
Our regular magic 8 ball gives us more answers, but we just used this app on vacation because we didnt have our magic 8 ball it only gave us one answer only two stars for us.
Our bf dont even love us fr smh.
This is so baaaaaaaad we hate it do not download this app.
Not only is this machine a good friend but is so accurate its amazing.
We can rely on it for pretty much anything yes or no its a lot of fun and this 8-ball is proof Prestonplayz is the best YouTuber of all time.
Best app for sure. Forced away from IPhone, so Id just kindly ask to put this on the google play store if possible. Amazing app tho.
We said to it should we clean our room and it said no Im so happy.
We asked the Magic 8 Bit Ball if we should pay for the ICEE at the gas station. It said our reply is no so we walked out with it and now Im in Jail not cool. Other than that the mechanics work pretty good.
