GameWave - Games for iMessage Reviews

This game has good mini games. However, it is extremely hard to just get into a game. There is so much loading going on and popups and it doesn’t feel smooth. When you finally get into a game, it’s not that laggy but man it is sure annoying TRYING to get into a game. First time use feels smooth. After playing multiple games with the same person or transitioning to someone else, GameWave is bad. Please fix. Also why is GameWave like tinder now. I downloaded this to play mini games, not to find soulmates. There are so many scammers here too, “just be my boyfriend and I will pay you $5,000 a day.” Yea right, why do you have so many twins with the same or remotely similar names, “sugar mama, sugar mommy, augar mommy, sugar mommmy.” This would’ve been such a successful app if there weren’t a bad community and a laggy interface. Can I get filters for people because I am 17 and the people that I am getting recommended say they are 17 but act like 5 year olds. Screaming racist slurs, spamming, talking disrespectfully. Disgusting.

I like the new games that were added. Well really one new game. Given the you have to have the among us app downloaded and it just takes you to GameWave and you play on there. But as far as solitaire that was added it’s pretty good…. We’ll when you’re playing with already added friends. If you play it to get more coins that’s where the problem comes in.

The way solitaire is set up. It’s pre-determined what a player did and scored per turn. Which it’s player only gets one of with a 5min timer. That part is fine. What’s not fine is when you play someone and that’s has already went and you’re the 2nd player. You’ll know you’re the 1st player if the game says “searching for opponent”. If you’re the 2nd player and you win.

When you try and exit the game for any reason after you’ve seen the results. It ALWAYS defaults to you trying to forfeit. Making your way in an instant loss.

The games seemed fun from what I could see of it being played from my fiancé’s phone. However when I downloaded GameWave to play with her I wasn’t even able to open a single game. It said error loading every single time… even when I sent her game links. GameWave wouldn’t even show my avatar as my profile picture or allow me to matchmake with random people… there literally wasn’t a single option in GameWave that would allow me to play any game at all. I even went through the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling GameWave . HUGE WASTE OF TIME!! Mainly frustrating that I only downloaded per someone else’s recommendation just to be wildly disappointed… at least GameWave was free although I’ll never get back the time I wasted downloading GameWave.

avatar poses, such as faces our facemoji makes in the profile photo. games played and games won/lost displayed on our profiles. fix the issue where it sometimes freezes and you have to go in and out of GameWave several times to get it to load. games are sometimes forfeited for no reason, causing us to lose coins. either fix or forfeit with no coin loss. let us play for coins with friends. I think GameWave has a lot of potential but it needs more work put into it.

**most importantly, I’m tired of putting out 20 50 coin games and no one finding them, then I’ve just lost all those coins. Fix it please.**

I just got this game a couple days ago to play with family. It’s fun! You can customize your avatar anyway you like and is very diverse with style, hair color, accessories, etc. games are fun too! More than what GamePigeon has. However, it’s very glitchy and slow… sometimes it won’t let you open a game for minutes, or until you close out of GameWave and open it back up. This one game especially, Mars Jump, slow and bloctchy! Cute and fun, but slow. Definitely needs to update and fix some bugs. Also, it gives you the feature to play with other people your age across the country which is pretty cool.

I recommend to do not play but u can play if you want but this game have glitches and it cheats like one of ty games I was playing I was throwing the ball to the middle and it glitched and went to the middle then in tic tac toe it was making me go places I didn’t want to go and the player that I was playing said the same thing and flappy bird when u start you is right next to the wall and the Mars jump thing when we jumped it said we didn’t and that card game it’s ok but I recommend fixes bc my other player was seeing my cards when u wasn’t supposed to see each other cards and it was making us draw when we had the color and number those are the only games I played but I believe the other games is the same

I really like GameWave but it can use some work a lot of glitches going on that’s why I can only rate it 3 stars . During some games it freezes or just exit you out of the game by itself , also the uno game I like how we can talk and communicate but sometimes the connection be breaking up between the players and it makes it hard to understand, please fix these bugs this is really a good game. Also it would be cool if you can continue the uno game as long as possible so it won’t keep interrupting and starting a new game after so many games it makes it confusing to find which game everybody is in

There’s a lot of bugs and it glitches all of the time. You can work around it but it becomes tedious. I’ve had GameWave for a long while now probably around 2-3 years and before it was actually better. The developer added an avatar and that’s just a glitch fest. The way that you edit the avatar is just annoying and most of the time it doesn’t work so you end up with this ugly character😂 but frfr this is a great app it just needs a lot of work. I really hope that one day it’ll be in a complete working and flawless app but for now, I’m still gonna play it because it’s fun. :)

I really do enjoy GameWave when the games don’t crash and die on you. So many of my one on one games just either glitch and it can’t tell who’s turn it actually is or they stop loading and just spin forever. And half the time the games do work they still glitch out where you can’t see what ukno cards you actually have or the mancala board just completely blanks out.

I know they’ve indicated there’s some sort of bug with Apple in iMessage directly, but all these issue occur in the actual gamebytes app itself. It leaves my heart super unhappy. 😭💔

I really like it but the quality needs to get way better bro.. like literally JUST now i was playing in matches and i used 50 out of the 55 i had.. and i hadnt even gotten to go yet and the other person made the first 2 in and chose to get 2 more balls.. and she made those in too.. and then i swiped and it said i forfit. i literally didnt even get to go. it just said i lost all my coins😐😐😐😐 and also just to warn you all.. this is litterally tinder for younger people.. i had this one guy flirting with me who said he was 27.. im a minor..

Although playing these simple games could be fun, there is no way to filter out creepy people. You know, like people who send messages asking me to be their sugar baby. Although I am confident i would be quite the sugar baby catch, it is rather disappointing that scammers are using a gaming app to prey upon people. Thankfully my children don’t use GameWave but it seems it is over run with predators just looking to find their next victim. Not sure how GameWave could improve security but I’d suggest to them to figure out something. I can’t recommend using this game app due to the creepiness of folks using it.

I was banned and deleted GameWave for a bit but installed it again to see if it was a bug but it wasn’t. I checked recently to see if I was able to ask my friend, who can only use this to chat btw, to play a game with me and GameWave kept saying “you are banned from matchmaking and will not be able to chat anymore if there is any mistake here let us know at (whatever the email was).” If anyone know how to help me because they haven’t responded to my email

App is great and all but there are too many bugs. First bug being GameWave randomly closing when u start a game. Sometimes repeatedly closing on you. Then the second bug is games duplicating and then becoming unplayable or requiring u to close GameWave multiple times for it to work. Lastly there is a bug where u have to close GameWave after playing a game with somebody in order to start or continue a game u had with another person.

I really like the game selection although some gays just don’t operate right. Like gravity doesn’t have the same effect in certain games, lol.
My main issue with the game is its bugs! They just came out with a big update that added battles, tournaments, and more, yet still didn’t fix the bugs that ruin gameplay at least 25% of the time. The mechanics of GameWave just aren’t solidified yet and it could be a great game once the foundation of it is rock solid.

Love the games especially u-know or whatever it’s called, but the glitching has gotten me to a point where i can’t even handle even playing the game. the game doesn’t load the cards overlap and turn different colors and you have no touch ability where your cards are and if you go out and go back in it makes it worse or doesn’t change. Please just fix the glitching and this will be such an amazing app!!

This game is very fun and cool to help you connect with other people. You have a choice if you want to or not which makes me feel safe. You can’t creat your own account for free and talk to your friends through the messaging part fo GameWave . It’s cool that you don’t just play games, but you can text too. I love GameWave and totally recommend for you!! 🌸💖😉

Love the game options. Especially like the ability to see wins vs. losses in the different games. My issue arises when I play in a tournament and the game freezes, causing me to have to forfeit to clear the screen and lose coins. Please fix

Edited 2/9: What’s the point of updating the game if you aren’t going to fix the one problem people are telling you about?!?! Not being able to leave one persons game and go to another without closing GameWave is VERY annoying. Reducing from 4 stars to 2.

All the games are extremely glitchy! Especially the new mancala game. It shows a different game as the picture when sending in iMessage & sometimes won’t even show the game board when it’s supposed to show your opponents turn. I play these games often through iMessage so please FIX SOON!

Well it’s a great concept. Especially during a never ending pandemic. GameWave needs work. It’s buggy and tends to freeze up about half the time. After force closing and reopening it seems to work again. Quite a few fake profiles as well. People who want you to add them on Insta, Snapchat, or their pay site like only fans. Other than those concerns it certainly passes the time.

It's a really fun game app but too many bugs where it shuts down. And there's also too many scammers on there; there's sugar mommas and stuff on GameWave while there's people who are just trying to play on GameWave . And then there needs to be an age section cause there's too many minors and people saying they a certain age when really they are younger or older. Needs a lot of fixing.

I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS! NEW GAMES TO PLAY! But I noticed as I tried to learn the games, there was a lag that was significant which made competing difficult.
I would love to see update on fixing it and even new games. ✨

I am not normally a person who plays games on my phone at all (I don’t even use Game Pigeon) and this is AMAZING. It’s so easy to navigate, start and send to friends! I highly recommend GameWave to everyone, especially now when you need to pass a lot of time in quarantine. Great job!

GameWave is a really great way to connect with friends. I like the versatility of the games and the external app feature that includes a leader board and a chat window. Can’t wait to see what the next games are!

GameWave is the perfect answer to social distancing. Playing fun and challenging games with friends has been a great. The games are realistic and the user experience is seamless.

I love that Gamebytes has games that imessage usually wouldn’t have. I can’t wait to see the other games they come up with!

Someone sent me the hangman game and now we only play that and the basketball game. Would love to see some more strategy games!

I really like the game selection, I play most of them. Can’t wait for new ones to be added.

so different from the GamePigeon vibes and a wider selection of original games to play! love playing these games with my friends

I just wish there was more interesting games on there like bowling,tennis, or games that’s similar

I just got GameWave today and it’s so much fun it’s just like game pigeon you should add a air hockey game to it and a wack a mole game

This basketball game is sooo much fun. I can't stop sending it to my friends and it's all I play now

SO easy to send to friends on imessage, kinda like game pigeon but they add way more games

Need I say more? I had faith in humanity. But then you gave me this. Pathetic. This should be considered a crime against America. Against the world. Mars Jump signals the beginning of the Apocalypse, and the end of life as we know it.

But I mean, skee ball was kinda fun.

GameWave is probably not quite as good as game pigeon but it is good. I like Ski ball a lot but I think it should be two rounds. The worst part about it is that it is very slow and seems kinda cheap. Hopefully as it grows the developers can make it faster and maybe even add another original game that is as fun as cup pong (I refuse to play cup pong on Gamebytes because Game pigeon cafe our first)

Why can’t I just play against the computer?
