User Reviews

Users generally praise The Search for Planet X app for reliably supporting the board game, with a simple, efficient UI and enjoyable, educational experience. However, recurring issues include major usability and feature gaps: lack of cross-device multiplayer sync; dark mode/readability and small text; data loss on relaunch; missing localization (Arabic and other languages); and concerns about privacy and permissions. Some also want more customization options (text size, themes), and a desire to see saved history and clearer privacy indicators. Overall sentiment is positive for gameplay, but improvements are frequently requested.

Easy-to-use, efficient design that lets you focus on gameplay.

Cons

No cross-device/multiplayer syncing; cannot track actions across devices.
Dark mode readability issues and small text.

Localization lacking; requests for Arabic and other translations.
Privacy and permissions concerns, unclear data handling.

Works for its sole specific purpose of serving the board game. However, I'd like for it to also be able to display my previously revealed information. Sometimes you just accidentally misclick and there's pretty much no way to recap.
