Pocket Mystery-Detective Game

Just a few things.... I know you are from another country by the way you word things in your descriptions. They are good attempts at translating it, but you really need to find someone over here to proofread what you have written. (Everything that has to do with an investigation has to be precise, or localized diction.) I agree with your other top reviewer that the entire switching over to another screen when you make a mistake is too much, but I suspect that is to help populate your ads. That is possibly not necessary, and seems to people - like me, who work on Networking Equipment\Software - “may” be hacking into their device. I believe you are “Not Hacking” and safe to use for now, but believe that you should change that. You don’t need to add another screen in your app to run a 3rd screen. Whoever programmed this for you needs to fix that. I believe you did a “GREAT JOB” with this, and am looking forward to a “More Elaborate Version” in the future. Thank you for making this App.

If there weren’t so many Ads. I’ve been on a crime kick lately and when I saw this app advertised I wanted to give it a try because who doesn’t want to try and be a detective solving crimes? BUT it is EXTREMELY frustrating when there is an Ad popping up almost every five seconds, and some of them you end up accidentally clicking on, without even realizing it, and taking you out of the Pocket Mystery app to download the advertised app. It almost takes out all of the fun of solving the crime puzzles. And I get that I can pay “x” amount of dollars to remove the ads, but let’s be honest, who actually pays to remove ads? Ads pay for the app. I don’t mind banner ads at the bottom of the screen, I don’t even mind ads popping up before and after each solved case puzzle, but ads popping up after ALMOST EVERY right or wrong guess for four questions is a bit ridiculous. Not only is it super annoying, it also throws you off trying to solve each case because instead of remembering parts of the case you already answered correctly or other bits of information, you’re completely bombarded and distracted by the ads causing you to forget the information at hand. Other than that, the game is enjoyable and addictive, and I’m already halfway through all of the stages.

I really enjoyed this game and one of my favorite parts was that you can get a clue without having to watch an ad (which was a relief, because this game just drowns you in ad’s.) But when you get farther into the game, it will ask you to rate the game to get the clue. It wasn’t completely unusual. I clicked on it and then clicked out (a trick you can use if you don’t want to rate it) and the game thinks you rated it and it gave me the clue, great! But after that, I wanted another clue for the next mystery. But then it asked me to take a “survey” and that I would remain anonymous. I was suspicious, but I did it. I will tell you, they are the most RANDOM QUESTIONS EVER! For those who haven’t gotten to the surveys yet, I am about to take a survey, here are the questions I have to answer: Are you picky when picking a partner, Have you ever had your partner as your lock screen on your phone, Do you pose for theme park ride photos, How was the first impression of your partner, Would you prefer a white umbrella or a black umbrella. They give you answers you can pick, like yes or no, bad or good, anything like that. But why do they need this information?? I deleted this game as my suspicions rised, but I would like to know why they ask us these!

I absolutely love and adore this game! So many puzzles, so many cases to solve, and it’s helping me exercise my brain. I wish to see more of these because I just recently finished the game- or all the cases. It’s a great game to help develop your thinking skills and it’s so fun! I love mystery that keeps my blood running and my heart racing; always eager to find out the answer to a crime! I get easily scared in horror and blood, but I love the suspense given in the genre! I got extremely sad when I’ve reached the end... I was expecting a lot more cases but I was happy to finish such a beautifully and perfectly made game. Though literally most of them were just you seeing people get stabbed, death by blunt objects, and poison, it was fun finding answers to different stories and clues. I hope there will be more updates soon because I can’t wait to play this game way more! Thank you for this amazing experience! It’s been years since I’ve last gave a 5-star rating to a game. Once again, THANK YOU <3!!!

Unfortunately, in a game with spelling errors, ambiguous wording, straight up incorrect answers, patronizing explanations, and a requirement to solve the crimes at the pace of the writers (even if you can understand what happened before they lead you to it), the amount of ads is completely unsustainable. Clicking something correct can still bring up an ‘incorrect’ screen with a bonus ad. You get an ad (up to 30sec) both before AND after the explanation of something you really didn’t need explained, and if you figure it out early you get punished for tapping something that turns out to be correct on the next clue... but you’ll only find that out after four more ads. I was really excited for this game, too. Such a fun idea! I really wanted to love this, but it’s just so user unfriendly :( Ad you have to close before you press start. Ads on the bottom of the screen while you look at the crime scene. Video ad if you click the correct answer. Video ad if you click an incorrect answer. Video ad before and after the explanation. Ad if you click restart investigation. Ad if you move on to the next one. Don’t worry though, you can buy an ad free version. Shocker.
