Akinator VIP Reviews

by Dan7191

I recently started playing this game again and I immediately noticed something wrong. I thought of a character, the bot asked a few questions and it successfully guessed my character. However, when I said that it was my character, the game had told me that it wasn’t my character and that I had cheated, as if the game was telling me what I was or wasn’t thinking. I tried at least 10 more times with the same result; It guessed the same character, then tells me that I was wrong. I don’t think I could have made it any easier for the bot to guess my character, which it did, but then to tell me that wasn’t what I was thinking? This cheating system needs to be ended or at least fixed.

I recently won a black award, highest award in the game, so then I went to play another match, I had a character, yet the program guessed incorrectly, thus I decided to take what they system gave me and continue. I was given an alert saying that I was being watched by some person to make sure I didn’t cheat or guess randomly. Now whenever I get an answer I have to say no because they are testing if I am lying. WHAT GARBAGE IS THIS! I just want to play my game, and make use of a hiccup in the system. Now it is annoying to try and guess characters. Thanks for making a good game a pain to play

So I thought the game was pretty good tell I was in a round doing pretty good because I had just won a black but then it said I cheated and said it wouldn't take away any points but would keep an eye on me so I continue playing but then literally the the next character I did right after that it said I was cheating and took away so many points and then literally the next character after that it said I was cheating again and took away even more points and I never cheated!!! It Literally showed nowhere that anyone had done that character it wasn't one of the characters that they showed that someone got so how could I have cheated!!!!!!

So I’ve had this game for awhile and over the past few times I’ve used it, I’d be answering questions and after I answered one it would load and I’d wait then it would say “There was a technical problem. Tap to retry” so I would and it would start over. Yeah sure it’s not annoying if it happens one time but this is almost every game and I’ve deleted AkinatorVIP , redownloaded it, I checked for an update, I signed in, and nothing has worked. It’s starting to upset me considering I payed money for this. I cant even get through one full game without it saying that.

So I used to find this game enjoyable and pretty decent; however, the game has some issues it needs to fix. The bar at the bottom of the screen is supposed to show how close Akinator is to guessing a question, but now the bar jumps forward all the way from 1/3 of the way all the way to the end, and he gets the answer very, very wrong. Another issue is the errors, I literally can’t even play the game anymore because every single round, I get an error and it cuts off my progress. I’ve been trying for about 30 minutes to get Akinator to guess a character, but he keeps guessing the same things and asking the same questions. I even memorized the patterns to which his guesses are. It’s ridiculous.

TLDR; The game cuts me off with errors, is repetitive, and jumps to conclusions too fast. Please fix the problems, thank you.

Akinator will guess your character if you have a weak imagination. If you think of someone who is popular but wouldn’t normally immediately think of, akinator won’t ask the right questions to get the right result. It may get it on its 2nd or 3rd guess, but only if you get it to guess the first time does it actually credit you. It assumes you aren’t giving the right answers instead if it asking the right questions. Still sort of cool though how it can guess based off simple questions. That’s why it’s a 2/5 and not a 1/5.

I really enjoy the gameplay of AkinatorVIP, and I’m often surprised by what it is able to guess. However, AkinatorVIP could use some serious work. One major issue is that the user is punished for the AI’s inability to guess a character the first time around. You lose the reward you would get for guessing an obscure character because it has similarities to a more well known character. AkinatorVIP is also weirdly militant about “cheating”. Basically if it thinks you are just selecting random answers, it will give you a fake answer, then berate you if you choose yes on it. What led to me writing this review (something I basically have never done before) was having the character I was legitimately thinking of come up as this fake answer. Berating people for answering truthfully and playing the game is not a good way to retain users.

I have played this game since the beginning. Before it was very fun, but now you can’t play peacefully because you need to be careful to whom you choose because the game says that it was a trap and it gets you down in the ranking. Many times you get a character and for not losing the points you say yes. This would not happen if you could say no and continue and can earn the points, but after clicking continue you can’t gain points. Sometimes you have spent a lot of time getting a character and when it finally appears the game says it was a trap because of “random answers” this is UNFAIR because sometimes you choose a wrong answer just because you don’t remember how the character looked. I really loved this game, but this new “cheating” system is totally uncalled for.

I loved this game when I first started playing it. It was so fun to see if he could really guess what you’re thinking. Then you figure out that you want to find people he might not guess or that other people may not have picked. The problem with that is he starts trying to catch you “cheating” which takes points away. I’ve only done that once and now it does it to me every time and I can’t even get a single character to work. So frustrating!! Please fix this! I can’t even play the game now.

My biggest problem with Akinator is that he never asks the correct questions, and the only way to help change the questions is by making it guess the character which you can’t do if the character has simulator traits to another. I tried many times to get him to guess Leon from the new released game Brawl Stars yet it keeps guessing characters from sub way surfers or other games like that. And the game makes it so ONLY if Akinator is correct on his first guess you get the coins so I always click yes unless it’s a character I guessed before and sometimes something pops up that says “cheat” and I will lose points or something if I keep saying yes to people which makes me think sometimes it knows what my character is but it gives me another random character to see if I’ll say yes to it. It still is a good game but they need to fix some things. Maybe make it so if Akinator isn’t correct and he needs another chance you still can get coins for him not guessing your character the first time.

It’s a really fun game with a cool ranking system except for the “cheating” system. I was thinking of a person but I didn’t know much about him so I answered to the best of my ability and I reached the end and it showed the guy I was thinking of so I hit yes to say it was my person. But apparently it said I was “cheating” and I didn’t actually think of him. So my points dropped to 8 and my place to 1008 even though I have more awards than the 2nd place person. Fix this horrible system!!!!

I love Akinator and I have for years, but the phone version has two big problems. I think the award system is a great idea and give reason to play more and more but it’s very annoying when you’re going for a harder to guess character and I don’t get the award because the Akinator guesses someone different. The other problem is a lot of the time a question will load for about 30 seconds then kicks me out of the session and I have to completely restart. Other than that it’s a great game and I’m still impressed on how many characters the Akinator can really guess.

The interface reminds me of how apps looked on the iPhone 3G. There needs to be more information, like showing how many questions he asked to find the answer, like the website does. Also making more fanfare if you stump him, or at least showing a screen confirming he was stumped, and showing you results.

The index works really well, and is surprisingly fun. For movies, there really needs to be clear distinction between asking about a character, versus asking about an actor. Saying, “has your character appeared in comedies,” is different than saying, “is the movie your character is in a comedy.” Asking, “was your character in Grown Ups?” And then asking if the character is married can be obnoxiously confusing because I don’t know if your asking about the actual fictional character or the actor.

I love AkinatorVIP, and have played it since I was very young! It always was a fun game to play with family and friends to see if the Genie could guess characters we thought of. I got a new phone over Christmas and forgot about AkinatorVIP until I saw it on AkinatorVIP Store again! I immediately downloaded, thinking it would be fun to play again. I remembered about the Prank your Friends option, where you could make something pop up as a friend to freak them out a little. I wanted to do this to one of my friends, but I soon realized the option had been removed! I was very upset to see that this game mode was no longer available, which was a huge part of the fun! Overall, this is a great app, but I would appreciate it more if this game mode was put back in the game. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but this is the only reason for my 3 star review, and if it is added back to the game, it will be a 5 star game for sure!!
Thank you,

The game is great because you have child lock choice for young kids. ( I don't use it because it limits the questions and makes it harder for akinator to guess your person, but it's a good thing to have on the game) it also tries to trick you into cheating there is punishment for that so I highly advise you not to cheat. The only kink is that if it can't guess your person on its first round, then you get no reward. I think overall though, it was worth 2$

I love Akinator with all my heart. But my deepest hatred is duplicates. I’m trying to get William Carrier (Hockey Player) Bit the questions it gives me always makes it think I’m going for James Neal (Another Hockey Player) I’ve gotten James Neal at least 20 times now trying to get my character and it’s frustrating because it’s not my fault the game gives me the same questions. So please just make it so when you get a character you can’t get it again (Only on that account) Thanks a lot! :)

I’m generally a pretty big fan of AkinatorVIP. It’s a fun time-sink by yourself, or with friends. Basically a hyper-focused 20 Questions. My main tiff with it is the weird little competitive anti-Family Feud thing it’s got going with it. It’s actually pretty fun getting a rare character, and getting a medal for that. That being said, I hate how you only will get the medal if Akinator guesses it in the first round, and sometimes the questions are just too vague. I don’t know how you would get around that, but that fact is the main reason I don’t give AkinatorVIP a full five stars.

Bought AkinatorVIP today after trying the free version. I liked the free version, but it kept saying “technical error” and sending me back to the home page. I thought paying for AkinatorVIP would eliminate the errors, but unfortunately it did not. Kind of disappointed considering I paid for it. Overall I like AkinatorVIP but just annoyed because of all the errors.

Fantastic when you're stuck somewhere where you can't concentrate on anything serious, but need to kill time. I, too, think you should get points for beating him, though, or at least the ability to add your character when it happens (now, you have to play the character a second time to add a photo and a question).

I love this game because I like magic tricks .and it’s cool
Like a magic trick my friend thinks it’s creepy because you are like reading our mind I got my brother hooked up on the game he loves it now he will play it every day he will not stop playing the game it’s just like a tinny bit creepy my friend also will play it all the time I do too play it a lot but I just want to tell you I love this game.

First of all, i just want to compliment you on a fun application. I giggle with glee when it guesses what I think is an obscure character. However, i have stumped it twice now and when it asks me to put the name of the character in the text box...THERE IS NO TEXT BOX!!!

Most recently i was thinking of Hugo from The Jeffersons.

I’ll give you a bonus star for a text box on AkinatorVIP !
