KnackUp for Android
Nice app
We love it
Playing games to learn all of my abilities and talents is genius.
I couldn't get any of them to work on my Samsung Note 5. I downloaded the main app, then the 1st two, and it wouldn't let me select a log in option, unless I long pressed it in just the right spot, and then thanked me for playing the game and I couldn't back out of the app - this happened on both Meta Maze app and the Sushi Waiter App. So, can't give it anything but a bad review.
It did a good job getting my traits with one exception. However, it's not terribly useful for an individual yet, but otherwise it's a very interesting application of big data.
This app has supernatural powers!
I played the maze game, filled out the survey, and then nothing happened. It just doesn't work. I gave it 2 stars for the idea, but unless this app sees some serious improvement, I can't see any point of wasting time with it.
Slow, problems with login.
Can't update or install (after uninstalling) latest version. Moto G. Which is a shame as I really liked this app and wanted to keep my Knacks. Stupid update.
Some fun games but anything claimed beyond that is utter bs
CFX
First install the base app. (Didn't work on ics tablet. Won't log in and says disconnected. ) Then install each of three games. (2 of 3 installed on kitkat gs3 but crashed immediately upon launch - didn't attempt to install 3rd game, seeing as the first two already ate 50-60 mg of space - and data plan.) Finally managed to install all 4 apps on an old HTC evo over wifi. (Did have to download the balloon game- install /uninstall - twice before it worked.) Total time prior to play =3+ hours.
A. Will not run on a BRAND NEW Samsung S6 Edge. Cannot log in. B.Says that i am great at Sales, teaching and customer service. NOT. If I were great at sales, i would have sold myself into a much better position than i am now. (Too poor to vote Republican.) Other than those two things, fun to play. MetaMaze is great.
Wtf why do we have to download a new app for each game?
Will not let me sign up, sign in, or view any pages. Extremely buggy.
No matter what I enter for a password, it says it's not strong enough... Even once the submit button is enabled.
The strength password will not accept THIS as long or strong enough. This is ridiculous: &4+J=2F3:kUU(like&%#@)?6$"*FucKOff ...HOW much longer can a 'minimum 8 character password NEED to be!?!
I have tried every possible password type to sign up, and even through the Sign Up button lights up, it still says password strength is not enough. I've tried strong password generators, uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and nothing. Please help and then I will change from one star. I really want to use this app!
Like most people mentioned, dislike the fact that have to download a new app for each game. Now also getting errors after update and unable to use the app. Great concept though and looking forward to the improvement.
Flow between games and app is terrible, taken back to Google Play every time. With last update, get errors when refreshing knacks.
Knack has been able to collect appropriate game data from the maze game and balloon game. Unfortunately, it seems unable to pull information from Wasabi Waiter. Additionally, the central Knack app seems to be failing to save my data from profile drop down menus for Industry and Field of Study. Finally, it doesn't seem to be saving answers to my questions on Knack Labs personal information. (Android version 4.4.4, Samsung SM-N910V). Once those things are taken care of, I'll be excited to return and add stars
Nice idea, just wishe it worked. There seems to be no integration between the several apps you must install, one for each game plus the one to access your "knacks". Not only it's unnecessarily cumbersome but it also doesn't work. I played and played and played. .. and could never see my knacks. Waste of time.
Poorly developed. While the results might be true, their presentation is terrible.
The app gives a psychological profile after playng a simple game. The game is not much fun or very original. The resulting psych profile appears to be invalid and unscientific: a "feel good" description that is unrelated to the way I responded to the game. For example, it stated that I was a good team player, but the game is a single player experience. I believe that it is not possible to make such claims after collecting data in such a limited gaming environment.
I could get Knack to install but I couldn't get Balloon Brigade to install. Then the app wouldn't let me log in!
It never worked. The balloon app presents the login page but will not accept any characters.
The disconnect between the games and the UI to review your progress is not good. So you install this app then you have to install individual games which is fine, but it's tremendously clumsy having to login 3-4 times to get anything going. First to create an account. Again to verify it which apparently you can't do from your phone, then again on the phone to see your knacks, then again once you install your game you wanted to use in the first place. The verification email is odd too. It doesn't simply say click here to verify. Instead the contents of the email reads something like a welcome email and never mentions verify except in the title. If I login with this app the games should be able to reuse that information and not require you to login. Also this app doesn't update after you play the game, and there is no way to refresh it. I had to kill it then restart and I had to login AGAIN after that to see my knacks. It was overall it was itself a test in perseverance. Where was the knack for that? I also felt the knacks I received as more pandering to my ego than a real assessment. The fact this is saying I exhibit professionalism for playing a game seemed trite.
....love to try it, can not get it to work.
I thought it was a great idea. until I couldn't register, couldn't log in, and the games wont even start.
