## Countdown Reviews in Vereinigtes Königreich

### *---- "Can never win"
Aweful game. You simply cannot win, even when set to easy mode and you can’t even pause the game to cheat.
-- Mike Welsh Dragon Bush, 2024-11-18

### ****- "Maths round difficult"
The words are fine but the numbers is too difficult to wrangle in the time given
-- Loz5665njhh, 2024-11-16

### ***** "Great but please develop!"
Love the game but no updates for 8 years…
- have had newer legitimate words rejected as not in dictionary
- include brackets for better calculations on numbers round

Essentially just needs a refresh!
-- fdsalhj, 2024-10-29

### ****- "Octochamp"
I’ve beaten the AI 9 times and it has not been added to my achievement board which is very disappointing as I should have octochamp
-- mistybar, 2024-09-03

### **--- "Good game but dictionary needs updating"
Was enjoying this game until it told me “unshared” and “rimmed” aren’t considered words, but “wharenui” and “demirep” are?

Also the numbers game is a bit of a joke. The amount of times I actually worked out the number, but couldn’t get the points because I didn’t tap the screen in time to select the numbers and show the full calculation, but then I’m literally up against a calculator that never loses. Lol. Something needs to be done there to give a human player a chance.
-- Revanchistx, 2024-07-26

### **--- "CPU only"
Nice UI and quite slick but bit of a joke unless you want to play solo

Is you play vs cpu on normal you always win, if you play on hard the computer finds bizarre words you’ve never heard of and beats you 100-0

Stop being idle and give us pvp online
-- Osullivp1, 2024-05-31

### ***** "Countdown Review ➕➖➗✖️🧮📝"
It’s fantastic app game that tests your spelling and maths (Americans: Math/Mathematics), And of course you need to solve the crucial countdown conundrums!!!.
-- Dude Punk, 2024-05-04

### ****- "Its great but nowhere near as easy as the tv version"
There are obvious differences which are obviously not possible to replicate on an app from the original. What annoys me most are irritating nuances, like when you get a word   as long as the computer has offered and it always mentions its own offering as the longest word possible????? Or when neither (myself or the computer) gets the conundrum, it states I (just me!)has not been successful. That computer never fails to misspell a word at any level?. These can be discouraging to people on lower levels. Not me 😁
-- bapbex33, 2024-04-01

### *---- "Deleted due to frustration. Needs updating badly."
Ended up deleting this out of frustration. Too many words “not found in dictionary” that I 100% know are there.

In addition the randomness of letter selections seems to have disappeared. I regularly have selections of 3 of the same vowels and 3 of the same consonants in a 9 letter selection. I’ve even seen 4 of the same consonants. You simply wouldn’t get this normally.
-- Gooilon, 2024-03-26

### ***-- "Could be so much better"
This could be so much better, but almost every letter round, you get duplicate letters. It is constant, and more often than not you get. Ore than one set of duplicate letters, and often triple letters.  It really should not happen that often.  It has been the case since I started playing .

Also, the computer on hard mode is odd on the numbers game.   Fails to solve simple solutions, but manages to solve really obscure ones.  Not really reflecting reality.
