Community Insight:
Sometimes there are ads and you cant skip them so you cant alway to play with friends. If you can delete it. One solution we found is increasing the players and spies but sometimes there are two or three spies. If the ads were skipable after like 15-30 seconds we would change our rating but as of right now . It stays that way.
Ive had this game for a while now and it never disappointed us. Its so fun to play with friends and family. We also believe people dont realize that you can create your own packs, so you never run out of things to do.
So one of our friends introduced us to the game but how do we put our names on the cards like they say player 1 and player 2.
Thanks for adding Persian language, but there are some bugs with the translation, for example the word on is translated as door Or some translations arent professional enough, like ice rink which is translated as ice play ground It would be so much better with these small bugs fixed Thanks.
Piggy is a spy to and has kingdom of piggys.
Thank you spy you made our family happy.
Spy is a great game to play with friends and family. Its a little hard when you get the spy but its still a super fun and amazing game.
We like the idea of the game, but got no friends we like the idea of a room type multiplayer with random spy selection and stuff. With chat and stuff obviously, it would make it better to play and most likely grow the game.
This games great and enjoyable. But its better to add Persian language because this game has many fans in Iran and they they can play this game too! Thanks.
Multiplayer mode doesnt work unfortunately. You can invite people, but there is no option to start a game. Very strange.
So our cousin wanted us to play this game called spy and it was because we were bored and it was our big sisters birthday, so we played it so the next day we downloaded it when we changed the number of players after we went out, poof and ad pops up and we were like we hope this game doesnt have a-lot of ads So we went to pick one spy and when we went out of the section to pick the spy poof! A 1:30 ad played So when we went to press start A ad popped up! 3 ads?! So this is why we're giving a 4 star it was a devious trick into making so many ads so you can get money but one trick. Turn on airplane mode!. So this is a really good app and we love it! Thank if your going to give a developer response to us.
We cant change our spy number and it just fixed with 1 can you please check it for us thanks.
The use of ads makes this game unplayable in a group. Nobody whats to wait for an ad in the middle of a game to play.
Dont get us wrong, this game is great. Theres one problem, though. We would enjoy it if there was playing with artificial intelligence. Most of our family is too busy to play this game, so you should have it so you can play by yourself. Thats all we have to say. Thanks for reading, and please fix this problem.
We cant go to multiplayer because we cant find the option to do it, we started it but we it doesnt give us an option to play on different devices.
Like if you dont know we love spy stuff and now we found a game just of meeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love this game but uhh we dont know what some places is well thats ok but please say what it means but still thx for making this game.
Just add more word and update the app.
How can we add new words in our pack. We cant find that.
Its a great idea. The basics are there, but needs work. You get bored with it after playing in one evening. Countries category (pack) – why not put all countries instead of a small selection that you get repeated over and over. Harder categories would be better also. You have an option to create a pack, but have to combine ones that are there. Id add in the capability of creating your own words within the pack. Also a few words to show what a pack is about makes sense but when you give all that are in the pack the person who has the game on the phone knows all the possible options to guess from right up front – so unfair advantage right up front. You have the opportunity to make money by starting with a handful of free packs and then continually adding choices of new packs (celebrities, political leaders, movies, cities, bodies of water, maybe an adult category) and charging $1 an add on pack like heads up does. Hope you make some of these changes as Id like to be able to play this in future but for now Im bored.
Please add the Arabic language.
How can we add some new words when we create a new pack.
We never thought we could play a game its fun You have to get it its the best game Ive ever played five stars definitely in that honestly we would give it more than five stars if we could but theres only five stars so thats what Im giving it but it is so much fun it made us giggle so many times LOL our gosh its just so much fun you have to get it it is so much fun and you were not going to regret it so much fun.
Its a great and fun game. Very straight forward. We just wish that it gave us a role or a job for the place. So we could ask better questions…. But overall we really like it :).
Our sister couldnt join us. We couldnt even play. Id give this no stars but we have to rate at least 1 star.
