94 Seconds - Categories Game Reviews

This game used to be so much fun. It still has potential, but the developers really ruined it with the latest updates. (1) It needs Relaxed Mode back. (2) It’s crazy enough that we have to see ads to see correct answers for questions we missed, but 94Seconds is also extremely buggy, and the button to see ads won’t even work 95% of the time I try to press it. (3) Don’t have categories if you aren’t willing to add every possible answer into it or update it. This is especially true for TV Shows, Music Genres, Comics, “Feelings and Emotions,” Gaming Consoles, and Skiing Equipment. With the slight exception of Music Genres, all of those categories are AWFUL. Like, how is “sadness” not a feeling/emotion?! (4) Don’t limit us to 4 categories per round. I feel like they do this to encourage us to spend coins when we‘re assigned bad categories.

Overall, this game used to be really promising. For several reasons with varying motives, the developers have ruined a good thing here. They need to bring back what made this game fun.

I have loved this game for many years, but after updating to ios11 I was forced to download the new version, and I'm not a fan. First, I don't like the idea of guessing pop culture items. I'm not well versed in comics, which is probably true for most young people, and TV is just too broad a category that depends too much on age and other demographics. The game should either accept all TV shows in the history of time or not have this as a category. My second problem is that the relax mode is missing. I honestly didn't like playing the timed game much, and I had such a good time playing the relax challenges with my friends. I hope the devs will bring it back soon with some fun, fair categories based on common knowledge rather than pop culture. :)

I loved this game until i updated my phone to iOS11. It no longer works with that operating system.
My kids and I would play this game as we waited to get food in restaurants, or waited at the dr office, or anywhere really. It kept the kids happy and we all got to learn something. It’s a game that we all enjoyed but also made us think. Is it going to be updated to work with the new operating system? I hope so.

It’s nice to have 94Seconds back as it’s a great game app and one of the few non word search type word games. Personally, the previous old interface looked more professional and for all ages. Bad: the fact that you have to watch an ad to see the correction to the answers you got wrong is extremely annoying. And I don’t mind watching ads for free apps. But there is a quantity, a time, and a place for them. The “see correct answers” is the wrong time and place. Also, too bad our scores, coins, categories, leaderboard aren’t back too. After all, developers obviously knew who previously had 94Seconds ... since they notified us in the updates after we removed 94Seconds with iOs 11.

It used to be so much fun! Now is not as much fun and it’s not as good as before. Now there’s only English language when there used to be so many languages! Playing with only four categories is less fun than having a bunch of them. I can’t mark the one you marked wring anymore which makes me dislike the game. And you could play this with other people and have achievements, now you can’t really get out of the game that you’re when playing. This used to be such a fun game to play with family and friends but now that it’s so changed my family doesn’t like it and neither do I. FIX IT PLEASE!! The old version was far better!!!!

I've had 94Seconds on my iPad for about 2 years, and I've loved it. I recently decided to get it on my phone as well. It's still very fun, however I can't sign in or make a new account. My favorite part of the game was playing challenges with other people, and now I am unable to do it. No matter how I choose to log on, whether it's Facebook, Twitter, or email, or making a new account, it simply says there is an error and doesn't allow me to go any farther. Still fun on single player though.

They still advertise this on their website but they have not updated in a few years and they desperately need to. Some word categories have weird options, like an earring being considered an item of clothing, while others have a missions that make no sense like hiking accepted as a type of shoe. Please, please update. (For added irony, the suggestion feature often locks up on my iPhone 6 and I have to reboot the application without sending them the suggestion.)

I have played this game for years, and loved loved LOVED the old version, but I am really disappointed with the updated version. Some of the new categories are not based on common/general knowledge (Comics/TV shows) which is problematic for me, as I played this game for that very reason and liked that it was strictly common trivia. I get frustrated every time one of the newer pop-culture related categories comes up, because I know that I won’t know any of it. I miss relax mode, also.

The watch ad buttons don’t even trigger an ad anymore! I miss being able to see my wrong answers and see your correct ones to compare. Also why can’t we suggest answers you marked as wrong anymore? Your “contact us” button doesn’t work!

Revive Relaxed game mode please. I used to play Relax mode with my friends comparing who was farthest. It was so fun, now most of my friends don’t even use 94Seconds anymore. This version is much worse than it used to be. Showing just 4 categories is less fun.

Can be fun, needs an easier way to submit answers. You shouldn’t have to register with email, or fb, etc. It also doesn’t allow correct or legit answers. Maybe they need more research. For the letter ‘T’, for television series, I used Tom & Jerry. It said it was wrong. It’s a cartoon, but still a tv series! Needs some work & I’ll add stars. Also Catch is a type of ball game. More often than not, it is played using a ball. The “contact us” does not work.

It is an amazing game to play. It get people mostly kids to think and type fast. Though it is a fun game I do have some thing where they can improve. First is there is a section you don’t like you can not delete it at all what so ever. Two the adds are absolutely ridiculous. They come on all the time and just stay on for a while they are aggressive. Other wise it is a amazing game. 😃:)

I liked it at first but then when it started saying new updates I would update it and it wasn’t any different and it was annoying. I went to challenge my dad and we where literally sitting right next to each other! It kept pulling up other people but not him. So yes a good game but it needs some major work.

This game is exceedingly fun and intelligent. However, there are some glaring issues it needs to improve.

1. You should be able to earn gold in more practical ways and in larger amounts.

2. You should be able to pause for at least ten seconds.

3. You should be able to discard certain topics. For instance, I know little to nothing about television and comics, which makes the game, in certain areas, disproportionately and unfairly difficult. I’m not saying you should be able to cherry-pick things you know everything about, but you should be able to get rid of things that make the game unnecessarily hard and that you don’t care to learn about.

Love playing this games, it's addictive! Fun games, gets your brain working! But some of the extras aren't worth paying for. I have no idea what these chronos are for, needs a better award system. Disappointed that I paid to challenge others at an expert level, still matches with people that are way below my level. I was looking for a better challenge!

This game is wonderful and educational too. I remember last year in school when we had a class iPad, that we had a tornado drill and our teacher let us take it into the safe space to be entertained. We had this huge competition and this has helped make one more of my elementary school memories. Thank you

Happy camper

I have this game on an iPad and iPhone and on both devices I can't log on to my accounts. Whenever I try to make an account, it always, no internet connection. Both devices run on wifi and my phone gets cellular. This leads me to not join challenges. The other problem I have is that words often don't count and theirs very minimal categories. Other then these three or four problems it is a great game

I like that you can challenge and be challenged by your friends but I wish they had an option for live play against anyone the way QuizUp does it. Also it is annoying that you have to pay to add different categories. Still, I like that it is deceptively simple, but under the time pressure you see how you blank out on something you should know, like a US State that begins with S (South Dakota or South Carolina, duh, yet I missed it).

Lots of words that are not on their list, but when i try to suggest, it doesn't allow it. It keeps saying I have to set up my email...which is weird being hooked up through Facebook. My email is set up, although the ipad2 isn't on a network, it is set up to wifi. It's just way to frustrating. I've scored over 50 points many times, it's not a point scoring issue...frustration is from the inability to add simple English words. The game would be much more fun if they could fix that particular bug.

I love this game. It helps with memory and working under pressure (which I have a huge problem with). However, there are some downsides. One huge irritation is that I'll validate a word but at the end it will say I didn't answer that question. It actually offers the word I validated as an answer suggestion. Please fix this. It's holding me back in the game.

I've been playing this for a year or so, and have only one complaint. When I try to send a Word Suggestion email, the messages always bounce back to me as undeliverable, because the address/account does not exist! I appreciate that they thought to include this feature, I just really wish I could use it!
