Bingo-TV 4+

Doesn’t connect to the game and always says waiting for game or kicks you out of the game.

Just says waiting for game and never connects. Waste of money

The reviews of this app seem to be complaining that the app “doesn’t work”. However, after playing the game with my family, I found it working somewhat better than what other people were saying. I was actually able to join the game, but it’s absolutely PLAGUED with bugs. For example, on our first game, my name showed up as “Name” even though I set it as my real name. The other players’ names were changed to random names that they hadn’t entered. But that’s just the start of this game’s problems. The game overall is just, strange. The board is 3x5, and you win the game by clearing the whole board. Also, the numbers in this game go from 1 to 90 (I think?) while normal bingo’s numbers are from 1 to 75. The game itself though, just isn’t very appealing. There’s no game modes, and no music aside from one song on the title screen (which I’ll admit, actually sounds great). Back to the things I don’t like, I wish there was a way to customize your character. At the start of the game, your character’s appearance is randomly generated. Sure, you get to choose between a male or female character, but that’s the only form of customization available. By far the biggest issue though is the gameplay. I kid you not, on our first game, THREE OF US HAD THE SAME CARD. We showed each other the cards we had, and they were EXACTLY the same. Imagine playing a real game of bingo and every single player had the same numbers on their card. This whole game, overall, is too different from normal bingo, and it’s just too buggy to really be appealing to anyone. I’m not saying that these people don’t have the talent to create a good game, as I feel like with enough hard work, they certainly can! But clearly, if they want to make a good game, then they should consider putting more effort into it, looking for ideas that could make the game better, and getting people to test their game, in order to avoid bugs and glitches like the ones I mentioned in this review. Hopefully in the future, this company can create successful and entertaining games, but for now, I sadly can’t recommend this.
