Ratings and reviews

A brilliant adaptation of the board game, updated to be asynchronous and with tons of variant modes and a progression system. You even unlock the variant modes as options to use in the for-fun games you can invite friends to =) On the day that I downloaded they were having some type of server issue that made the game regularly time out (and then flat-out fail to even log in, as the problem progressed), but it's been smooth sailing in the week since then!

great interface and expansion upon the original board game. trying to get my gamer friends to join so we can play together without having to be physically together. no in game cash grabs. good variety of game options. interesting progression allows one to play new variants as you gain "experience" vs being overwhelmed with them all at once. really love the spymaster challenges where you can see the clues that other people give and how people responded. it's helped up my game.

This app... it's not there yet. The website for codenames works extremely well for actually playing codenames, no ads, unlimited games, anyone you want can join a room. If you'd like to play a bunch of weird variants of codenames with random strangers online or by yourself, yeah you can get the app. But if you want a simple user interface without having to pay, go online and don't be tempted by this app, it is NOT what you'd expect. It isn't advertised clearly and you can't get a refund.
