What users say about Codenames
From the 51 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users appreciate the faithful adaptation of the board game and its engaging multiplayer mechanics, but are frustrated by long wait times for opponents and unexpected paywalls for modes like Duet. Significant complaints also arise from technical issues, including server downtime, crashes, and a lack of offline or AI-only play options.
Mixed but leaning positive (57% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being fun, and good value. The main complaints are about price and subscriptions, and not being fun.
What people like
- Fun: “I finally found something challenging and fun!!”
- Price & subscription: “This has replaced gambling and other expensive go to’s”
- Connection & sync: “They fixed the connection issues”
- Design: “This game is well-designed, not just as a game, but as an app”
Common complaints
- Price & subscription: “Unbelievable that you get less when actually paying for an app”
- Fun: “This removes any sense of skill, strategy, or fun”
- Crashes & bugs: “Broken Gameplay in Arabic Version – Exploited and Unfair”
- Ease of use: “Because Arabic contains many words and variations, players have found an easy exploit: they use the first letter of each word as a clue system”
