Community Insight:
This is still new and literally Netflix states that we are beta testers, so give it a little break. Such a great idea and concept. We hope they continue to build this idea and grow it. Games are limited right now but so far they are fun. Great way to engage with family and friends. Pictionary so far is our favorite, Pictionary board game is great but with Netflix its a blast.
Every time we try to scan the code with our iPad, it says that we need to go to settings to make it so the app can use our camera, whenever it is already active. But still a nice app.
Do not trust the other reviews!!!! This app is sooooooooo good you can play with friends and family and NO malfunction and when you playing it is easy ! Also its not that complicating like some people think it is and plus you can teach others the games are so fun us and cousin love the Lego party , and party crasher ! And the best thing is you DONT have to pay for NOTHING no pay no gain try it for yourself in not a liar trust.
WHATEVER YOU DO DONT GET THE APP we TRIED USING IT FOR ourselves AND IT SAYS CAMRA IS OF WHEN ITS ON.
Great game for family to connect because the only reason we got this is because we were all fighting and now we are friends.
We tried to get in and the app says turn on camera access to app so we turned it on, when we go back to the app it says the same thing . Please help idk whats going on.
It will not work for us we only put 5 stars so you can see dont get this app.
Okay so Im gonna try the Lego party game but we are re-downloading this because last time we tried to play the cozy camp game and it didnt work lets hope it works with this one. Also we really love Netflix. We love the Korean shows. Like we havent watched it yet but Im gonna watch the movie love tangled or love untangled Im not really sure what its called but we really wanna watch it and we think it pretty cool. Ps Who made Netflix is it? Mr. Netflix like Nicole Byers says on nailed it.
We need to know how to get in the games on our tv, idk if its our tv that not compatible but it a Roku And we need to know if there is a way to get in.
Dont get us wrong, this is a good app but theres some bugs that could be fixed. For instance, sometimes when we scan the QR code it shows the Netflix Controller prompt and when we click it, it does nothing but take us to the app where the controller isnt connected. Really great concept and design.
The app is a scam do not get the app.
We love this app is because we tried it before and it was relaxing game in the world.
It wont work for old phones but it worked well on our dads phone. It wont connect on ours and it is slow.
The only good game is the happy gilmore one.
So we play for a while it works then we go back and it doesnt let us play it says to download it we already did so we scan it we didnt work.
Controller does not work on our phone and is froze on our screen and we cannot remove it please help us fix this issue.
We gave yall 3 stars bc it dont work for us.
It says our controller is connected, and it worked for one game, and now its telling us to connect even though its connected.
We scan the code and it tells us to open the app store so we do then it just tells us the steps over and over again, it wont connect us as a controller at all.
It never lets us play, always takes us to the App Store instead of the app, even after playing another game. Ive only got it to work once. Even if we click open on the App Store, it wont connect to our TV.
We dont want notifications from a controller app. We dont need notifications from a controller app. There is no need for notifications from a controller app. You dont get to push advertisements to our phone.
You can play with your friends family or anybody that you know its AWSOME best app ever.
So Im just trying to play some golf mayhem and we scanned that it says didnt we had to go download app like oh OK we didnt. We did that. We went back to scan it and guess what we said. We download the app when we already downloaded it so please respond andmake it more more actually and we hate Levi says it doesnt work at this time when we try and like at different times and just add a skip button, its not hard.
So we have been trying to get in the game and it is saying that we need to ask permission to get but we just had to reinstall it. When we did it still said that we needed permission.
It wont let us play and its saying we have to buy it but said it was free.
When we scan the QR code it says we need to buy the app for this app clip but before this happened we did get to play and it was fun.
It needs to be fixed it takes us to the App Store every time we try to play.
Ok so like the other reviewers we cant play our happy gillmore golf mane a 98 demo for some reason the only reason we gave it five so yall could see but Netflix better fix this or ima go to the headquarters and fix it ourselves every time we scan the thing it dont work like it takes us back here so im lucky its not just us with this problem but Netflix you better fix this now because ima crash out all we want3d to do was see a crocodile in the new game now fix this before we start yelling.
So when we got this we scan a QR code at a TV, then it connected, we were like WHAT!!! Now we can play with our brother or our family (if they have Netflix Game Controller) we love it!!! Thank you.
When we were playing happy Gilmore demo 98 it worked fantastic. We got all hole in ones.
Who ever made the other review is dumb all you do is download it scan the code and it connects hit first make sure you click on the game you want.
So we were trying to play this one game on this app and we downloaded it so we could play but as soon as we downloaded it, we went to the app scanned it with our QR code and it brought us back to the App Store like, why does it do that.
When we were trying to scan our QR code. It did not work. It just took us right back to the App Store and told us to ask for permission but we already have it. Im just trying to play a game in peace but he wants to take us back and is kinda getting on our nerves. We hope it starts to work and they scan us so now we tried to delete it, but that didnt work so Im just probably Finna delete it for the rest of our life, but if we get a new phone Im a try.
So when we were trying to play link twins we scanned it and it took us back to the app store? Im so confused rn.
You have downloaded it and then go to camera and then you scan the QR and the it connects it.
So scanned it so many times and it did not work and we were hoping it would get fixed.
Every time we play cozy grove or at least try to it kicks us. Says our controller is disconnected and then we get back into the game go back to talk to the person again and it does it to us again. Im so over it. This game is great and Id love to be able to enjoy it but we cant because of this app.
Stop giving 1 star reviews guys your phone or iPad has to be 2023 or newer for it to work.
Im trying to get into cozy groove camp spirit and like literally we like like we downloaded the thing like we downloaded the app. We want the App Store we we scanned it like twice and it keeps bringing us back to the App Store. Im so irritated right now like what is going onlike we gave it three stars cause it looks good but Im just so irritated right now we mean, Im so irritated so if this thing doesnt work, Im gonna crash out right now.
So we downloaded the app and when we tried it out oh god this thing was amazing! So fun if you have Netflix and like games download this app.
So we wanted to get this app because us and our cousin were going to play this watermelon game but Everytime we try to play it sends us to the App Store, idk whats wrong with it because Im signed in to it. Please fix.
Netflix games are fun and entertaining, but the controller crashes constantly, making it hard to fully enjoy the experience.
Every time we scan the QR code on the tv it brings us to the app. But, when we press open and says wait for payment or please download this app in the App Store and will not let us use the app EVEN though we have downloaded it. Happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Netflix, please PLEASE. Fix this bug.
When we scan the QR code, it keeps bringing us back here so im thinking that you have to log in.
At first when we used it it was fine but now no matter what we do it wont connect because it says we have a restriction but there are no restrictions at all. Ive been looking and there is nothing.
So much fun to just play Netflix games whenever it doesnt feel like a regular controller because of course its on your phone but we still love for the mole mayhem game its super addicting.
5 stars so you can find it. Im really sorry. But heres the thing. We wanted to play a game on our tv and yet. Theres no games on it. Let alone a QR code. We tried to follow the help page but it DID not work. Please have the tvs have games because our Roku doesnt got any.
Add more games especially mode puzzle of finding Mystery please.
So we downloaded it, and the next day its telling us to get the app.. We already have it please explain.
Works well but needs backbone controller support.
