Community Insight:
But the time ticks a bit to fast.
Definitely useful when Im bored in class. The only thing we dont understand is what the money is for. Like you cant spend it so whats the point? Just wondering.
Great game and really fun to play but we wish you could be able to see little pictures of the loot you have in your gallery and maybe add a few more different types of robberies. Also something to spend your money on. But over all its a great game.
Great game to waist a few minutes but if the red alarm area is triggered on the last number you will lose no matter what.
We love how it gets harder as you go on and you can collect items and they all cost different costs and the more money you get the more tense you get cause the more money you have the more you lose like if you have 300,000 $ than If you get caught you will get 50,000 $ tooken away and you want to get than money back so play more and more.
Awesome quick game to play on the Apple Watch, very simple but fun.
Its so amazing you can open locks and its very entertaining when your phone dies and your watch is on your hand.
Very good game! We got our friends into playing it too.
This is the beast watch game Ive played its so fun and addicting well worth the one dollar. Keep giving this game updates so its really fun.
It uses the aspect of the watch to its advantage and makes a really good game.
We just got an Apple Watch for Christmas and wanted to try this app. Its pretty fun and we like playing, however it can get a little boring from time to time. For the $0.99 we paid, we would say its worth it for the price.
We really enjoy playing this game when we have some extra free time, but we have one little complaint. Sometimes the alarm spawns right where your pointer already is, which means sometimes you get fined like 20,000 dollars for just starting a game. We love this game so much and Id hate to stop playing it just because this keeps happening. Thanks.
This app is really good and its a really great Apple Watch game, but we have the 1st gen Apple Watch and its slow and sometimes freezes, but we think its just our old watch doing that.
We think the games really fun but parts of it like when the detector thing spawns on you are really annoying.
This is a great app! But on our Apple Watch series 4, it isnt the right size and would be nice if they updated it to use the whole display on the watch. And push the game all the way to the corners.
We have it Download it to our iPhone but when we try to open it on our watch it wont let us on please help us fix that and we will give you our real rate on this.
We like this game, itd be a good time killer, but it doesnt let us play 50-75% of the time. It freezes, usually in the first round after entering a few combos. We can usually still turn the crown, and hear/feel when Ive found the next combination, but we cant see anything, but sometimes it wont work whatsoever, and our only option is to give up. We have the 40mm series 4 watch, and itd also be nice if the game was optimized for the watch. As the games display doesnt stretch to edge of the device, it makes it rather difficult to enter the combination.
Its not the greatest. When looking for a game on the Apple Watch, coming across this seemed like it would prove to be entertaining. Played for 30-45 minutes and its just too easy to be fun. It shouldnt have a huge explanation point, turn blue, AND rapidly vibrate when you get the number. Needs to be more of a skill game.
We dont like the only Apple Watch players can play we got the game on our iPad so we cant play.
This game gets really boring and repetitive. Its literally the same thing over and over again. Its a waste of money. And if you do get it make sure you get a refund because we didnt in time and now Im stuck with it. Would not recommend.
This was our first app purchase for our Apple Watch Series 5. It was highly recommended on a number of sites as one of the better Apple Watch games available. It ended up being a waste of $1. We have never made it through consecutive rounds without the display freezing. You can still rotate the dial and feel the haptics but the display wont unfreeze until after you have been caught. Very disappointing. Our watch is running on the latest OS version 6.2.
We were excited to play this game after we bought it but it wont let us play it. We dont know how to start it cause we wont let us.
App will not install on our watch. Series 3, software v.6.1. We would like a refund.
We were really excited to get some games on our new Apple Watch, but after we downloaded this one, we opened it on th our phone and our watch and was unable to play it. Our watch just says that the game must be downloaded on our phone, which it is. We dont know if this is a game glitch or something else but we hope it gets fixed.
This game is so tight! So simple but we want to keep playing. Great job.
The moving red dot spawned right on our pointer when the level started and we got caught instantly.
Wouldnt load properly, and when we contacted the dev we got no response. Im using watch OS 5.1.1. It loads to our phone, but not to the watch.
This is a fun and very creative app for the watch. Using the crown to control the dial is genius. The only problem is, sometimes the detection bombs spawn right on top of your pointer and you get arrested. Other than that this game rocks.
Detector always seems to spawn right on top of the dial on the same level. We never make it past the two grand mark. Fun to play, but since it glitches like that we can't fully enjoy it.
