JackPad for Android
YOU DON’T KNOW JACK is the #1 trivia game in the world that contains both fart noises and trivia about Shakespeare.
The JackPad™ allows you to buzz in and answer questions using your Android device as your controller. Know the difference between fine art and potato chips? Buzz in from the comfort of your couch by pressing the buttons on your Android device's screen.
Think your friends are clueless? Use the special JackPad™ “SCREW” button to screw them by forcing them to answer a question!
With the JackPad™, it has never been easier to play YOU DON’T KNOW JACK. All you need is your Android phone or tablet and a head crammed full of random trivia knowledge.
Features:
• Answer questions by buzzing in with your Android phone or tablet!
• “Screw Your Neighbor” by forcing them to answer questions they don’t know!
• Personalize your buzzer with any name you desire!
• No extra controller hardware necessary!
Connecting your JackPad™:
Just connect your Android phone or tablet to the same Wi-Fi network as your device running YOU DON'T KNOW JACK Party or the same Wi-Fi network as your OUYA console and your JackPad™ will connect.
Clicking the green button to join the game started the game every time I tried it. Finally found that if one player with console controller and the two iPhone people joined first, android player would simultaneously join and start the game.
Great way to add more players to the game without buying extra controllers. Works with the Fire TV YDKJ Party game too! Plan to use with the party box on steam soon too. My only gripe stopping 5 star is the slight delay in responding to your input. Pressing a button on a controller and phone app at the same time, the controller rings in first. The delay should be accounted for, with the time the button is pressed being used, instead of when the game is told by the app.
I tried playing it with several people YOUR APP SUCKS if you can't fix the problems as I've read below don't make an app period. Worst app ever!
Says it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi, and it is, the same that my Amazon fire stick is, doesn't connect, just attempts to load and nothing happens. Worst.app.ever! Please fix.
Downloaded this to play the jackbox party pack but the app didn't even connect. Wasn't even needed as you're told to go through a browser anyway! Don't download this, no point in doing so!
Even 1 star is too good. I have to agree with the majority, this app is no good. Bought the game on my PS4 and 4 of us put this app on our phones and wouldn't work for any of us. We were all on the same WiFi network as the console but still wouldn't work. Fortunately I found out you can go to "JACKBOX.TV" on your device and connect that way. Worked flawlessly. So you can still play the game with out this app.
We tried to connect multiple devices and it would only let one play and would completely skip other people trying to connect and this is with amazon fire stick
game randomly freezes and phone controller issues as well .but game is good but needs question randomization. can only play each round once
I downloaded this game, and it said I wasn't connected to WiFi. I turned my WiFi off and back on, and still couldn't connect even though my WiFi said I was connected. Had to uninstall. No sense clogging my SD card with an app I can't even use. :(
Will not connect to wifi, when it was a computer game, LUV IT,fun, funny very entertaining, but the mobile app, does not work, cannot connect to wifi or my g4. Too bad.
Don't bother downloading it. As many previous comments, it does not work. Will not connect even if on the same WiFi or the game was launched first on the TV. They obviously don't care to fix this problem as people have been complaining since last year.
The app, despite being connected to the same network wouldn't connect to any device I tried to host on. Yes I have the Party Collection on Steam, PS4 & X1. 1 Star because it doesn't even tell you that it's failing to connect, it just keeps going. Left it for half an hour and decide to use the browser on my phone.
It's a bit slow sometimes, but it technically works. They need to add the game for chromecast people too, not just fire TV.
I want "you don't know jack" for my Android! This is bs.. Super disappointed it doesn't work and there is no "you don't know jack".
Seriously, this game blows. Annoying commentator, lame jokes, and painfully long, pointless animations between rounds. And an app? You couldn't just make it a web page and save us the trouble? Boo.
I never normally review but this app deserves the terrible views. It just doesn't connect
Tried playing you don't know jack on my fire stick with friends, but no one's phone could connect their jack pad. Please look into this. Thanks
I used this for You Don't Know Jack Party on the Fire TV and it worked flawlessly. Connected immediately and didn't have any issues
FYI: This app is for the OUYA console; Not for the "The Jackbox Party Pack"" app. This app does not work for The Jackbox Party Pack. That is all.
Why release an app (which is basically required) for a $25 game if you won't support it. Google should delete both this and the jack party pack until their is real support for this. Glad google allows refunds.
App doesn't connect. I was really looking forward to playing.
Loved this game online, but this app won't even load. :(
It freezes like crazy and it gives you to many problems just saying this SUCKS!!!!!
Will not even start up. Too bad I paid for nothing!
What a glitchy piece of crap app, wow, hot diarrhea . Come on people try harder
I wish I'd done since research before buying. Sort It out!
This wasnt worth the time of my patience. It cant connect to the internet. This app need fixing
It won't connect to my wifi. Bummed that I can't even try it
Will not connect to wifi, when it was a computer game, LUV IT,fun, funny very entertaining, but the mobile app, does not work, cannot connect to wifi or my g4. Too bad.
Just says connect to WiFi when I have data........
Mine is saying the same as a lot of others make sure I'm connected... You need to be more clear somehow on how to play with other ppl because I can't connect either and love this game >.<
Says I need to be on the same Wi-Fi as the game, which I am. Tried 3 different devices, wouldn't work on any of them.
Great when I play on a fire tv thing and a chromecast. This doesnt work with the console games, because those use the web browser
DOESN'T F#@KING WORK!!!!
Had a blast playing You don't know Jack last night. Didn't have enough controllers so our phones worked flawlessly.
I've tried to install and play this many times and it never works. I'm on the same WiFi as my device, just like the message that pops up. Nothing. Cmon developers, get a clue. Bring back You Don't know jack because this is a waste.
But you do know crap. I would have rated it lower if there was that option. Would not even connect so never got the opportunity to play the dang thing.
Was able to play the party game using my ipad, with my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini as a remote. Only issues I noticed were 1. Lag due to wifi connection, and 2. I got the Ouya jackpad once until I restarted both apps and got the Jack buttons. Both are small issues, but should be improved upon.
For 24 dollers on my android tv... you would expect this to be a bit more polished and usable!

Doesn't work because it isn't able to connect to anything. People have been complaining about this app for over a year, so it's time the makers took notice and actually sort it out. No point in it existing when it serves no purpose. Fix it or get rid. I am uninstalling it after posting this.
