Review summary

CODENAMES companion is a handy tool that generates the secret card and autohide feature, making gameplay easier and more enjoyable, especially for remote/ video-chat play, and it remains useful over years. However, reliability issues persist: sound problems after updates and frequent startup crashes impact usability. Localization gaps, particularly Arabic language support, are a commonly requested improvement.

Pros

Generates the secret/card with a keycard and autohide option, useful for custom Code Names setups.
Makes Codenames easier and more enjoyable; straightforward and functional.
Great for playing Codenames over video chat with remote participants.
Still a valuable tool and remains useful even after years (5+ years of use).

Cons

Frequent audio/sound issues after updates (muted, stops working, etc.).
Startup/opening crashes or the app failing to start, sometimes requiring reinstall or reboot.
Lack of Arabic language support; multiple requests from Arabic-speaking users for localization.
