5 stars for fun, but 1 star for battery life

Jackbox games are great! How much fun you have with them depends on the group you are with, but they have many different games for all types of groups.

I have to give the app a 1 star for battery life. I own Jackbox Party Pack 5 on both my Mac and my iPad. On both platforms, the app takes an exorbitant amount of energy. While I appreciate how the app is on so many platforms, the lack of optimization for the graphics is quite obvious.

Expect Jackbox packs to completely drain the battery from 100% in around 2 hours.

Fun but laggy

Love this pack, it’s my first purchase, I’ve played other packs from friends. I love zeeple dome but it’s terribly annoying on how frequently it lags or freezes. Even with one player it often becomes unresponsive. It’s like they rolled out a half baked game.
