Ratings and Reviews
App just doesn’t work anymore
Only the audio for the first case’s introduction is available. Reading the reviews, it appears the app worked when it was first released but an updated iOS must have broken it and the developers don’t know how or aren’t interested in fixing it.
The game itself is great and is highly recommended. Also, the people saying “no in-game investigation audio is available” are complaining about nothing. The rule book was very clear that the app was for listening to the introductions. If you want the whole game in the app, be prepared to pay even more than the price of the board game (because that’s what the app would be - the entire game, with the added complexity of organizing the leads digitally rather than printing them one after the other).
App doesn’t work
We purchased the Thames Murders set at our local board game store and were happy to see it came with an app. We used the app to read aloud the opening remarks of the first case, which was nice. However, when doing the second and third case we learned that the app only plays the audio for the first case no matter which case you swipe it to! We even tried letting the audio play out when on the screen for case two to see if it might move onto the audio for the next case but that didn’t work either. Might as well not even have the app available if it doesn’t work at all.
Fundamentally flawed - audio for first case only
How is it possible that this app has been out for years and they still haven’t fixed such an obvious and fundamental flaw? You can only listen to the first case. No matter what case you select, it always plays the audio of case one. I read this in other reviews and thought “no, surely they must have fixed something so obvious. Or maybe that reviewer just used the app wrong.” But no. It’s truly broken and remains so to this day. What a huge disappointment.
