User Reviews

Fans praise the app for its wide, authentic sonic screwdriver collection and nostalgic, easy-to-use experience. However, recurring issues include failed restoration of purchases after updates, excessive ads and paywalls, and missing newer Doctors’ screwdrivers. Stability problems and slow content updates dampen the experience. Overall, strong concept with room for reliability and content updates.

Pros

Huge collection of sonic screwdrivers to try, offering a lot of variety.
Fun, easy to use and nostalgic for long-time Doctor Who fans.
Authentic sounds and visuals that feel faithful to the Doctor’s tools.
Good cross-device usage; can switch devices without losing progress.

Cons

Purchase restoration issues after app revamps or reinstalls (in-app purchases not restoring).
Long ads and heavy gating; most screwdrivers require payment to unlock.
Content lags behind the show; missing newer screwdrivers (e.g., 14th/15th Doctor).
Occasional crashes or stability problems when opening the app.

App is cool, I used to love this. I had it years back, and paid to unlock all the screwdrivers. Now, however it doesn’t want to restore my purchase, and says to use the same account, though I have never had a different iTunes account. I always would use 9/10s screwdriver. It’s just $2, but it’s the principle of the thing. I’m fairly certain it’s because when they revamped the app, it was counted as a different item, hence it not recognizing my purchase, since it was made a looong time ago.

This is a nice app, but the only thing holding it back is not having any of the Sonics that came out after the 13th Doctor.

Purchased all the locked content. Deleted the app at one point since I got bored of it. Redownloaded it a few months later. The game refused to restore my purchase from earlier. Total waste of money. (Also I’m 99% certain I already wrote a review about this before which seems to have been deleted. Total scam.)
