Text or Die Reviews

by Jlamroadgeek

Text or Die seems great in concept, but it is just like all the other mobile games out there. It still needs a lot of work. For example, the game should let you play against actual people instead of bots (possibly by creating a time limit mechanic). Their answers will become more realistic and the game will become much more challenging. Some people may even learn a thing or two. Some of the answers are incorrect. For example, the “Name a Billionaire” question doesn’t accept Jeff Bezos, but does accept Jeff Bezoz, who is not a real person. The “Report Missing Answer” feature is useless. I bet the developers have never looked at the reports. You could also save the ads for unlockable content and the end of games. For example, just this week I was playing a game before a one-minute unskippable ad popped up. I grudgingly waited until the end of the ad before no X popped up and effectively soft locked the game. I instantly uninstalled TextorDie . At the end of each round, a grid pops up full of unlockables. I had had the game for a year and not once did I find an unlockable. The character select screen could be a little more diverse. There is only one woman. They could add a customizable system where the headwear, clothes, hair, and even skin tone, could be customized. In summary, the game is far from good. I uninstalled the game - and you should, too.

The reason I gave the game a 1 star rating is number one the bots put outrageous answers so u purpose have no way of catching up not once then next comes the spacing u can’t even space which confuses people which makes the players loose then one time I put for breakfast drink chocolate milk it was wrong some how then it said animal with l and I put liger and it didn’t go thru “if u don’t know what a liger is look it up” then I put for a girl name with t tiyah it didn’t go they just because it thinks it is spelled wrong people spell that name different that makes no sense that it is wrong then some of the questions are just way to advance I understand it 12 and up but then again some school haven’t got there then there might be kids who don’t understand these questions as well also sometimes when I enter an answer it will log me out the game as if it didn’t want me to win and this phone I have is new and it never did that with any game until I got this one all I’m saying is there are a lot of flaws that really need to be fixed pretty sure a lot of people have the same issues and I think the creators should look more into these issues please and ty I don’t think I will be playing this game anytime soon anymore sorry but hopefully u understand.

My daughter loves TextorDie (she plays it on my phone) and she and I have played it together — I’ve called out suggestions or helped with the spelling. The ads were so obtrusive that I decided to pay for no ads so my daughter could spend more time with the game. Tonight, I found TextorDie open and played a few tournaments myself. There are still ads if you want to gain an extra life. What I was not prepared for was the 17+ ad that played — a woman answering “truth or dare” questions from two men on either side of her, ending up with her choosing the “dare” and taking off her clothes and then you have interactive choice of whether she would take off her bra or panties next. The next part of the ad shows a beautiful woman in her dressing room with the text, “My girlfriend invited me to a BDSM party and I have to look beautiful.” Then there are outfits to choose from. I never anticipated that TextorDie I purchased — as a fun reward after getting ready for school and before heading out the door — would advertise provocative, sexualized ads. The “Text or Die” app is listed as 12+ in TextorDie Store, the explicit app advertising is listed in TextorDie Store with a rating of 17+. I took screenshots but cannot upload them here. I am very disappointed with over-sexualization of children and TextorDie developers being more interested in profit than producing safe, enjoyable content.

The game is decent, but there are so many missing words that the game is slightly against smart people. For example, for an animal that lives in a lake I put mallard duck and it said I was wrong. For an animal that lays eggs, I put a goose and it said it was wrong. For an animal starting with L, I put lesser white-fronted goose and it said it was wrong. For a flightless bird, I put the elephant bird(now extinct), and I still got it wrong. For an animal that lives in Australia, I said inland taipan and box jellyfish(I got the question twice), and I got it wrong both times. When it asked for an island in the Caribbean, I said Hispaniola and it said it was wrong. Many more possibly exist. Pls improve the words that will and won’t work, thank you, as even though this is a fun game, these errors make it less fun and I may delete it and just play Wordle if these errors aren’t fixed soon(I am willing to wait 6 months-a year as it will take a while to apply every animal name applicable to each animal-related question that cold use those animals as well as broader categories). If this error is fixed then I will rate it 5 stars and keep playing. Also I reported all of these as missing words, and I got the lake question again and I put mallard duck and it still didn’t work. For even basic things, such as light bulbs, I put compact fluorescent and it didn’t accept it.

Listen, I am fed up with the amount of ads I get after every other question. And also at they end of rounds where it offers you the key and these box things where you can get a hat, at least give a chance for the player to win the hat, I know it’s rigged to where it will be impossible to get a prize from the boxes and I know that because I have been playing this game for a long time and I have NEVER won a hat from the boxes with the first three keys they give you, you have to watch an ad to get another three more keys and maybe then you will win it- and I think you should at least give a chance for the player to win a hat because you literally have to watch an add after declining to watch an ad for more keys. And I just read a review that suggested a great idea, to have other REAL PEOPLE playing against you and for there to be a time limit or something. And there are lots of missing words, sometimes when I answer and I know for a fact that it’s correct, it just says incorrect. And of course there’s the report missing word button, but we all know that they will never add those words. And I know that this is just one of those extremely low quality games that just want money, but at least try to make it enjoyable.

This game when I saw it I loved it but when I started playing after 20 minutes I was already mad. Here’s why: When you type something in it takes off spaces. Like when the question: “Name one of the seven wonders of the world.” comes around you would think to type Pyramids of Egypt. Witch sounds right. Right? No because it takes of spaces and it comes out as pyramidsofegypt. Another thing for all those protective parents out there this game has a lot of ads. Every time you finish a game or a round it gives you one and these ads are not for kids. And one more thing if you type in something that totally answers the question and it’s a one word thing it has a chance of it not being counted. It asked me what games are out there? I put wobbly life. Witch is a game you can search it up. If there’s going to be a game like this then it needs to be on top of everything that is popular and not. That way people can put the things that they know and then this is an actual game. This game doesn’t even deserve a 1 star review not even a half. Try it for yourself and then you’ll understand this. My only advice to the game creators is I love the concept of the game but you guys can’t just throw it out there and not update it. You guys need to be on top of EVERYTHING.

but I just played this after reading some reviews, so I decided to write the truth on what this robotic non online game is. Firstly, when your typing a custom name on the main menu the “Play for Cash” scam button shows through the keyboard as I was typing. Secondly, going into a game it says searching for players and loads in random playermodels with names that seem like other players, especially because used an ability; but on the other hand, all of the “players” that loaded in could not come up with words past six letters. Either I was really lucky and got the dumbest players on the game to instantly load in; or they haven’t been able to get that to work, if they bothered, so they used bots before implementation. But saying that it loads players in when it’s not a real person, that says nothing good about this game. Also I’m pretty sure that if I have the “OpPuRtUnItY” to watch an ad and collect more “PoInTs” from it while other people are loded into the game and they just so happen to not all pick the ad, kinda stirs the pot more. Not gonna lie I went in expecting a better experience than the ad, first dumb one I’ve clicked on in a while btw, I was actually expecting this good idea to be implemented well; but this just a plain as day cashgrab.

This game seems a little outdated as far as the answers. I’ve noticed a lot of very valid answers are missing for some of the questions like name an animal that lays eggs and they were pretty much all types of birds and the answers didn’t include any animals like frog, dinosaur, turtle, fish, which all lay eggs. I don’t believe the developers are American, and are going based off of answers from some type of outdated resources. In the challenge round some answers are not taken at face value and are only given a couple of points/blocks ultimately making you lose for really long words. The developer also puts some type of glitch where it will go to an ad in the middle of you typing a word, making you lose any type of focus to win but guaranteeing they get paid because you ultimately want to complete the round. There are too many ads for the limited content. There are involuntary ads which are displayed in the middle of you thinking, giving them more money for you not even having fun. Although this game is fun, I believe it is a cash grab for the developer way too many ads too many problems as far as missing answers. The answers are literally based off of what the developer thinks should be there and not intelligently or web-based. I deleted and uncached my info.

The concept of this game is fantastic. Random trivia questions that aren’t overly complicated. The competition element is fun and the character/unlock features are fun. But that’s where the fun stops. In just about every instance I named something that the questions ask for, spelled it right, and got no credit for. In other words the answers to the questions are extremely basic. I am going to stay as objective and respectful as possible. Here are some instances; “Name something you recycle” I put oil because oil gets recycled all the time. I spelled the three letter word right but you don’t acknowledge this as true. Huh? Second instense; “name a landmark in New York Ciry.” I said broadway-iconic. And it is in a specific location. This consistently happened. I would name something and spell it right and not receive credit because…? I think it’s because this game is created by people that are quite young and haven’t experienced the known world. If you claim to be intelligent this is not the game for you. Think I’m wrong? Prove it! I will list more instances as they come. Instance: “name a firework” how is an m80 not a firework? Instance; “name a type of fuel” I answered E85-how is that not a TYPE of fuel? Last but certainly not least. Name a country the uses the US dollar as its official currency. I answered the obvious United States of America. There is more than one United States. And with that I deleted TextorDie .

OK this is a really fun game but the developers seriously need a dictionary. I’ll play this game and I’ll type in things that are grammatically correct and spelt correctly and it will say that it’s not a word but when the bots put the exact same thing they get points. And when you choose a category to play the bonus round I hate that it makes you watch your ad for every answer that you put in, this game would seriously be the best if I didn’t have 10 ads per game. And one other thing that I hate about the bonus round is that you could be all the way at the top but if you get one answer wrong you die. And I like the little boxes that I have to use keys to open but at the same time I really don’t like them because all of the boxes have 30 coins in them and you have to watch the ad to get the prize that’s at the top. One more thing is when you want to buy blocks or skins or hats however many times you buy something the price will keep going up, you guys seriously need to change this and every time you click report missing answer nothing happens. You guys need to seriously work on that, I’m sitting here trying to play the game and I put in a totally correct answer and it doesn’t work.

Magmell333! You can get rid of ads by turning wifi off! Its not their fault. It wasn’t the company’s game. You really need to calm down about it. They just put in random ads. Plus usually a kid is too focused on a game to look down and say “Oooo I want this!” They just want money for the company! They don’t choose every ad. They just say “HEY! We want money! Get us money!” They really don’t mean harm. Anyway I was playing an animal round. It says which animal is commonly pets. I typed in “TURTLES” and it said no. Then it asked me did you mean “TURTLE”? I was so mad. I only got like 150 coins. I am really upset. I also struggle with typing a lot. I mess up things but they say “did you mean this?” when I mess up. I turn airplane mode on and my wifi off for no ads. I think this is unfair. It is SOOOO easy to just correct it. I also was playing today and it said “Name a city in Italy.” I am 1 just a 10 year old and 2 not from Italy. WHO HAS THIS JUST IN THEIR HEAD WITH THEM ALL DAY!? I put “IDK” and failed. I just want no bots too. They are really stupid and annoying. ANYWAY... bye! (More for magmell333) if you don’t want children seeing it, then get rid of TextorDie (if you own kids). You might see more bad advertisements later in.

It’s worth stating right away that I liked this name enough to purchase the ad free version (otherwise you will be inundated with tons of very long ads even in the middle of gameplay) the frustration comes in that this is a game based on vocabulary and thinking of a longer word fitting a category than your opponent. It would be understandable if obscure answers were hit or miss but things like “Name something that lays eggs” and “turkey” is too out there to be considered a real answer? Or “platypus” for “name a creature with webbed feet?” even though that answer worked yesterday? I will gladly update my review if it seems the “submitting missing answer” button is actually being utilized and TextorDie gets better over time because currently if you’re going to be trying to put in long enough answers to win you better expect 2-3 times per GAME of an answer that is definitionally correct being rejected by the game. It’s extra frustrating when it’s categories like “name an NFL team” when someone clearly hasn’t taken the time to input ALL the nfl teams with their full and shortened names as answers, like YOU picked the question Text or Die and it has a defined possible amount of real answers. Just frustrating.

It goes without saying that this game is fun, however there need to fix the bugs that keep the player from fully enjoying the game. When passing a level, and having the option to claim an costume “upgrade”, the “claim it” is grayed out and cannot be selected. Therefore the only option that is available for selection is “lose it”, in order to continue in the game. Unfortunately, I have had to select “lose it” on the last 5 costume upgrades in order to continue the game. Please fix this annoying issue. Another problem is on the bonus rounds, if you miss an answer, the option to “try again” is grayed out, which again means you cannot select it. Additionally many answers, that have been submitted, have erroneously been counted as incorrect. For example, for the question, “cities that have hosted the Olympic Games?” I submitted Stockholm as my answer and it was counted incorrectly. The Olympics were held in Stockholm, Sweden in 1912. Another question, “name a continent?” I submitted Antarctica. This was also counted as incorrect, which is clearly in error. Please update the vocabulary and terminology so that game play is factual and accurate. This has been extremely frustrating when I end up losing the game because of this games inaccuracies. Please fix these problems ASAP.

So for the first three days I played this it was so fun. Then I started noticing that each player was from a different country. That was fine but then I kept on seeing the answers in English. I mean there were people from like SWITZERLAND who were speaking in English. I mean some people in other countries know English but not every single person knows English! I also saw when I was downloading the game I saw a video. In the video it showed a player and they needed to write a President in the US. The player answered trump and all the answers were showed. Then I got that same question and I answered Obama. When I saw what everyone else wrote it was the same exact thing in the commercial!!! Then the final thing is is that whenever you play one round there is an ad that comes up. You also can ambush people and get hints on the answer. Each time you do this an ad will play. What made me realize that the players were actually bots was that after you were done watching your ad and do what you do, they would automatically go to the answers. I mean if these were real people and they had an ad you would wait for at least a minute. All in all, they need to make actual people. But this is still a really fun game(sort of). I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to compete against anyone.

by Awesomesauce1947

This has been a very enjoyable game; however, there are a lot of missing answers at the higher levels. For example, it asks for a common Christmas song, but none of the Christian songs are included (like “Silent Night” or “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”). They ask for a common landmark in NY, and instead of “World Trade Center,” the answer they’re looking for is “1World Trade Center.” They ask for a common/popular waffle restaurant in the US & wanted “Waffle Bus” instead of “Waffle House.” There was even one answer, I can’t recall it offhand, that wasn’t accepted because the answer they were looking for was a misspelling of the correct answer. You can watch videos to correct some of these, but after the 3rd or 4th time you should have had an answer right but didn’t because they were looking for the wrong thing OR didn’t have an actual answer that should have been correct, you begin to lose patience for it. In lower levels & on actual multiplayer mode, the game has been quite fun; however, when you’re just trying to progress & are playing the campaign (or regular AI tournaments), you begin to run into the previously described problems around Tournament 14 or 15. I’m hopeful that this can be fixed since I paid the $3 to play without ads, but that may have been a waste, as I will not continue to play if I continue to lose due to discrepancies on the programming side of things.

by SeaShantiesAndWoodfires

I think this game is a really good game but I have a few problems. Number one, when I start playing the game is fun, but it asks you questions like, “What’s the character from the movie the Lord of the rings?” and some people have never even watched that movie, so it’s not fair. Other people can’t get it, especially if they’re on a really low scores. They’re gonna have to ask like their Alexa but some people might not have an Alexa, so they might actually lose just because they didn’t watch the movie. So can you not do things like movies because some people haven’t watched the movies. Number two, sometimes when I’m playing the game I spell it correctly. I say something that’s actually true like, let’s say maybe a country in Africa I say a country in Africa and I spell it correctly, I like a double check I spelled it correctly, and then like it says the whole word is not correct. Can U just make sure to check or double check the word is correct because some people might actually spell the word correctly and say the correct word but then it just doesn’t allow it. Number three, skin color. Why do you make one girl character only have one color of skin why can’t there be two or three maybe different shades of skin, so I can see my own. Anyway thank you for reading my note and everyone else’s have a good day!😃

I like the game. It gives me something to do, I learn stuff (if I can remember it) but there are a few issues. The first one being that the answers aren’t always the same as the real life answers. For example, the question was name a flightless bird, and I did. When the round ended (this was an event) it said that chicken was an answer when infact chickens can fly. Which I guess might be a minor mistake but this happened to my friend when I was thinking of words for her. Except it was a different word, I can’t remember. My second issue is all of the ads. I get that you can get money from them and that you can have rewards that you need get with ads BUT I have never seen so many ads on game. Multiple times when the round ends and I don’t want to triple my reward, it still gives me an ad. Recently I was in a timed event and the game randomly FORCED a e to watch an ad which lost all the time in the event and the other person won which made me have to watch an AD AGAIN so I could do a rematch and so my progress wouldn’t get lost. In over all, WAYYYYY TO MANY ADS, and get your answers checked.

by Awmaddy

This game is basically like the ads, it gives you a prompt & you type a word that answers it. It’s overall fun and I play it weekly, but there are a couple things I that annoy me. 1. Being no “real” multiplayer options. I know this because I can still play with the same people, even when I’m off wifi/data; and how are they able to go ahead to the next level if they didn’t decide to watch an ad for more coins? I wish there was a real online option with random people in your country (for language purposes) or worldwide options. No options for ads during the game obviously. That would probably draw in a lot more players & would make this game a 5/5. 2. Annoying ads. It’s like, every other round, but if you just turn on airplane mode or disconnect from your wifi/data you can skip the ads. But if you don’t wanna, they’re all 5 seconds and you can skip them if you want (until you’re watching one or a booster.) Anyways a solid 4/5 and I highly recommend y’all look into multiplayer option for next year

I love this game it passed time and I love to playing when I’m bored but I do have some suggestions of things to fix, #1 Update the apps knowledge, for example I put stop sign when the question was what made you see when you’re on the road and the letters turned red and there was a note saying report missing answer, also when it said name and art tool I put paint pens and the same thing happened, I double check my spellings and I’m sure my answers met the question. #2 there are way too many adds, sometimes it gives you an option to get something extra by watching it I had you say no and it gives you an ad anyway, I find it very annoying especially when I’m trying to relax while playing this game. Lastly (this is more of a suggestion than a problem to fix) but I think you should be able to Play with actual people and not just robots and have A way to play with people you know that also have TextorDie . In conclusion this is a great game but TextorDie needs more knowledge and way less ads.
- Thank you

by My Horse To The Old Town Road

I just got the game today and it’s pretty fun. There is only 3 problems I have with it. 1 ads. The ads are very annoying. It will ask you to watch an ad to get extra coins, which is fair, but if you choose not to it makes you watch an ad anyway. Why put the no option if I’m gonna watch an ad anyway? 2 answers. I understand that the devs can’t get every single answer for a question, but I still think it should try to include some things that still answer the question. Like dinosaurs for animal questions. I got a question that said something like “Name an animal that starts with A” and I answered Allosaurus which answers the question. It said it was wrong and cost me the game. 3. players. Are the players even real? They can be from countries that don’t speak anything close to English like China, and answer correctly in English. I mean, there might be a few real players like when I came across one that spelled Target as Atrget but that was only one time. I personally think there should be more real players and not CPUs.

I love this game, it’s really awesome! But I think they need some more girl avatars, most of them are boys, if they fixed that it would be great 👍🏻, they also do have a lot of ads, which is annoying, and the bonus game isn’t really a bonus, it happens after every round, and you don’t get a choice in playing it or not, if they gave you a choice or just made it so it wouldn’t play after each round, I’d love that, and i think it would be much more fun, also the blocks that you unlock are really cool, like the silver, and its pretty hard to play, but that’s the fun in it! And you look for the longest word you can find so that you go higher. I love this game, its a really smart game. I think the makers of this game did amazing job on this one. And the hints are really useful sometimes. And the extra 5 blocks are sometimes the thing that help you stay alive in the game, and the pirates that attack your enemy sometimes is very needed to help you win. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 also to the makers of the game, ‘thanks for making TEXT OR DIE!’ And thanks for reading!

Hello I just put 5 stars so this could be seen, but I would really give this game one star or maybe 0 if I could. When I got to a question that said, “Name a city in Europe.” Someone put, “Rome” even though that is the capital city of ITALY. Italy and Europe are not even the same continent. FIX. THIS. NOW. And another answer that doesn’t make sense to me is, on the question, “Name a board you can write on.” Someone put, “chalk” Chalkboard would make a lot more sense. Another issue with this game is, sometimes when I am in the bonus round, the “Second Chance?” option is gray even though I have good Wifi and I am right near a hotspot. Also when I put a right answer with the correct spelling, it counts it as wrong. For example, once I put the answer “Bell pepper” for the question “Name a type of pepper.” I have submitted multiple requests saying “missing answer” and still nothing. I’m not even sure if they check the entry someone put and actually fix it. I understand this game just came out but, seriously. Someone has to fix this. Also, I apologize for the long review.

Hello! Today I am writing a review about Text or die. It is a great game and I play it a lot! But there is some problems. #1 Ads: Normally in a children game like this you wouldn’t expect too bad of ads. But with this one the ads don’t show any bad stuff. I get an ad at the bottom of my iPad and it says “Forbidden Desire”. It’s 17+: I don’t think that’s appropriate for children to look at! Number 2#: The questions. It asked a Nintendo games and I typed in “Donkey Kong” and it said: “Report missing answer”. Donkey is a Nintendo game! And I typed in: “Kirby” with the same subject and it didn’t work! I mean I must be blind but Kirby is DEFINITELY a Nintendo game. Number #3: Graphics: I mean seriously. At least put a face on the characters? Please? I don’t complain about graphics, but at least put a face on the characters?! Number #4: Too many males. I mean there is ONE female character but then ALL the rest are males. Please make more female characters? Thanks for making this game. I have many fun experiences with this game. I recommend this game to someone if they wanted it.

by What Names Are Available?

This is a pretty great game, but flawed in some ways.
1.)More female Characters. I like this game a lot, but I feel like there’s some “Character Flaws”-literally. There are hardly any Females so I’m stuck using the default one. As well as this, I’m pretty sure that there aren’t any WHITE female characters which is annoying.
2.)Adds. They aren’t bad, actually, if you disconnect from WiFi. But there’s a price to pay. It won’t allow you to watch adds voluntarily when you’ve had your WiFi off before you get the option, even if you turn it back on.
3.) Clarification. I don’t know if it bothers anyone else but when it says things like “top Grossing game,” but I find it confusing. It might mean engrossing, not sure, but could you guys do something like put up a slang board on the “home” place to tell us what these abbreviations mean?
Other than these flaws, though, this is a 5-star game in my opinion. The last 2 recommendations are just things that I think would be nice, but the first recommendation -Characters- would be especially appreciated.

by Caden Hoke

1st this game is amazing, but needs some changes. The first thing is adds are constantly popping up and it drives me crazy. To be honest it makes me so angry!😡. It is not fun just to sit all day watching adds when you really just want to play the game. 2nd when I write something the space button does not work and then it makes me feel like a made a mistake and it is hard to go back and check when everything is smooshed together. 3rd when I type something in and it is the correct answer the game counts it wrong. Like say it asks what is one island. I would write my answer then island after my answer and the game counts it wrong. Now this is an amazing game, but it needs to make these changes. Please make the few changes of very few adds, being able to have a space, button, and being able to put whatever the word of the question is after your answer. I love this game. ❤️. It can get on your nerves though. Just to let you know the adds are the biggest problem.
