Ratings and reviews

Great background music and being able quickly see your score after you finish is awesome. So it does everything it says it will! One star off because I do wish it saved your scores. It would be nice to look back on old plays or compare with others for fun. Even compete against your own old score sometimes.

I just bought The Crew: Mission Deep Sea, and I downloaded the helper app to accompany the game. The tutorials are clear narrations of the rulebook along with animations. The game timers and soundtracks for specific missions are a nice feature. The only thing I would improve is to add a playback speed for the tutorials. A few tutorials could have been faster, like 1.25x or 1.5x the playback speed.

I am uncertain how to edit a past review. I gave this 1 star yesterday since it did not install properly for a couple hours. It turns out the system was overloaded. Today it loaded without any issues. The developers were also quick to respond, which was wonderful. The app itself works well. It is just a timer and ambience though. We thought it may be more in the EXIT game we used it for, as the game instructions made it sound more important. Still, the music and sounds are nice.
