I would have given this game 5 stars as it USED to be great fun. But unfortunately after upgrading to Android 11 it no longer works. Half the time it just closes on its own while trying to connect to the game. Then, if you do connect, it won't let you enter your name, as the keyboard doesn't appear (and you can't get passed this bit without typing your name). PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!! Sony Xperia 1 II, Android 11.
The keyboard doesn't work on Android 11. As a workaround, you can launch the app in splitscreen and that gives you the possibility to see the keyboard. After entering your name, you can go into fullscreen again and continue the game
FOUND A SOLUTION TO KEYBOARD MISSING! A silly workaround, is to open the app in Split-screen mode and then try to click on the text box. It worked for me and my gf on our S21 Ultra's. But it would be great if there were to come an update fixing this. Other than this, 5/5 stars!
Used to be a fun game for the whole family. With Android 11 it can't be started because you can't enter your name. Needs to be fixed ASAP, but doesn't look like it will be fixed given the time since the error started to pop up.
***keyboard issue workaround**** As mentioned below, so thanks to who it was, the workaround for Android 11 keyboard issue on the name box is to just open the app as split screen, then they keyboard comes up! Then once entered you can return to single screen 🙂
Unable to get keyboard to show to enter name etc since phone updated to the latest Android version. Lacks update to fix this problem. And refund through Sony isnt an option because of their policy. Wasted money without a fix. Not happy.
Doesn't work on Pixel 4 XL (Android 11). Recently updated to latest version of Android and after the keyboard doesn't show up when using the app. Due to this I am not able to enter my name and hence I am not able to join the game
This is one of the worst PlayLink games I have played so far and I have six of them. It is essentially an anthology of mini-games that you play in succession. It just isn't much fun and a large amount of luck is involved rather than skill. Don't waste your time with this one. Luckily I bought it second hand and as its a disc, I can trade it in for something else.
While buggy, works well and enjoyable. For those with keyboard issues on Android 11, if you open the app in split screen, and then open the keyboard in another app, you'll be able to type your name
-5 I bought this game for ps4 and was so excited. We tried for hours to get it to work with the app and was so disappointed. The game downloaded fine on ps4 but the app that you "have" to download was unexpected and didn't work at all. Why do we even need the app to play when our controller's are completely compatible?? So disappointed. Seems like a cool game. APP is useless and doesn't work. Pointless to pay and have to download app just to play!!!
Out of our group of 4, my phone (Moto Z Play) doesn't pick up the tilt sensor (just tested and it works fine on other games). Watching the other 3 play the game, it looks very short. Maybe around 10 minutes per game. The bidding mini game seems to make no sense whatsoever
I think this is really nice and. fun game to play with your family and friends, and if you dont have anyone ro play with you can play with the bots. I love all thhe characters and the fun games and challenges they have, so I recommend you downloading it. I gope this helped you.
After update to android 10 and 11, can't use keyboard to type name, there is a work around, first open the app and put it in split screen, then open any chat app and bring up the keyboard, then you can type your name. My family love this party game very much, please fix this issue.
UPDATE! The app is "finally" fixed!!! This is the first time since my last review and they fixed it for Samsung S10 devices. Can't speak on other devices but the app is now working!
The irony, I can see the keyboard to type this review. If only the same could be said whilst in the game! I cannot play the game as Android device will not show the keyboard when I need to add my name and you cannot progress passed it.
Just bought the game to play with friends at a party, the keyboard does not show up on any of our OnePlus devices, from 5T-8, so we cannot get passed the enter name stage. Please fix this as i would like to get my moneys worth !!!!!!
Fix the frikin keyboard. I want to play. It's never done this before and now I've wasted an hour of mine and my friends life trying to get it to work. One of my absolute favourite games and now my fun time is ruined.
Doesn't work correctly with my pixel 3a. Can't enter my name as the on screen keyboard doesn't appear. Other playlink apps work fine and works fine with other phones. The game is great but can't play using the pixel 3a
Great game if you can bypass the bug. In order to bypass the no keyboard bug you need to open the app in split screen with an app that has a keyboard •open the frantics app •press your "overview" button (rightmost of home) •click the game icon (on the top of your current window) •select "split screen" •open an app that uses the keyboard Now you can input your name and play!
Constantly disconnects on android, I've tried three different devices, all are up date and it keeps happening. Fix it.
Device wouldn't connect. Between 4 different phones, there was always an issue of connecting at least 2 of them at a time. Randomly changed which devices wouldn't connect.
There arw some bugs, but it's playable. To olay on android, go in splitscreen mode, type your name, and then go back;)
Unable to play with my family thanks to the lack of support for this app. Either fix the keyboard support in Android 11 or allow users to play without a custom name. Please fix!
Hey guys! I buy your game, and it NOT UPDATED FOR ANDROID 11!!!! I can't play, because when I need to write my name to start game, keyboard not working. How I see from another people and their comments, it is really problem on your app! Pixel 3, fresh version Android 11. Come back my money!
Not compatible with the newest android update. Keyboard input doesn't work, absolutely useless now.
App glitches on Android 11 and the keyboard doesn't come up to type in your name so you can't even begin playing. Very disappointed. Developers need to fix this glitch. Google pixel 4a 5g.
Unable to play. Keyboard doesn't show when asked to enter my name during setup. Contacted support several times but haven't had any resolution. Pixel 2 on Android 11. This app hasn't been updated in over a year. Come on. I can't believe I paid for this and can't play. And of course, PlayStation won't give me a refund. This is ridiculous.
