Countdown - The Official App

Exactly as I had expected. The quick game is just right for a short break. It would be good to just play numbers rounds or letters rounds, but I still like it very much.

Awesome job, normal CPU seems a bit thick, but a brilliant replication of the game. Just need the cats does countdown conundrums

The game works fine and is very fun. However I would love it if there was a multiplayer option (via Google play) and if you could choose how long the time limit is on practice mode. You can do this on the DS version (which i have) and its a nice little addition. Otherwise its a great game and if you're a countdown fan then its well worth the money.

Would be good to pay some sort of tribute to the first and best presenter of countdown, even throw in his crappy jokes would be good, rest in peace Richard, apart from that....Love this game

Strict 30 seconds to fully complete with the interface means you have less than 30 seconds in reality. Also the word synapsed wasnt allowed which means other words could be missing from its dictionary. Maybe would play if free. Or improve the dictionary and interface. I request a refund please as have uninstalled.

A good replica of the TV game show, it's not going to be an easy game to play your going to be have to enter good at your English and maths, I myself lack at the latter I was never good at maths so do not enjoy that round but overall do enjoy the game.

Great game that like many are saying has suddenly stopped working. Doesn't go past first loading screen just stays locked on it. Samsung galaxy 5. Please fix

Overall great app, few issues such as multiple of the same letters appearing really quite often and no online multiplayer but other than that very worth the money

I bougut this game and was using it fine for a few days and loved it, but today I tried to go on the app and it would stay on the screen when you open the app and can't do anything else. Please fix this as I really like the game. Using a Samsung galaxy J5 (2016). Thanks

Not convinced that many of the words are proper UK English (tenoner, downspout) and its annoying that there is no opportunity to enter a word that you think of right at the end of the timer; if it's not written down, it's not acceptable. Also there appears to be no weighting of the letters, so you are as likely to end up with four 'I's and no 'E' for instance. Good game but could be improved

I have a problem. Never had this problem before. Every time I open the app it comes up and the screen goes black. Any idea why this might be? I can't play it at the moment. ????

Just one gripe. A little more time should be given to type last minute answers. You are allowed to give answers on the show without having written them down . (Typing takes longer than writing)

The practice mode needs the option to remove timer. I want to practice the numbers till I get it right, not run out of time and not have the option of getting it right. Annoying.

Love this game, it is brilliant. The only issue is the number games, even Carol and Rachel would struggle to come up with the solutions that the CPU does but apart from that it is fab.????

There should be available time settings to allow you to build up to countdown standards. There is no way near enough time to use the small calculator buttons and solve the maths question, despite whether you have worked it out in your head or not.

This is a great replication of TV's Countdown and would be worth 5 stars if not for 2 issues I have. 1) the normal cpu shouldn't ever pick 6 small numbers as this is a really difficult combo, and they always seem to score either 1 away or get the answer. 2) a lot of duplicate letters come out, sometimes 3 of the same letter. Fix these 2 things and this app is 5 stars.

Great implementation of the show but it could do with making it auto confirm when you only have one word written down. I would also like to see the maximum possible score at the end of each game. Expletives that are listed in the OED should be allowed too. Words in the OED and derivates that aren't in this game so far(will update over time, swears won't be listed); legumin, unplaces, aliened, earthman, emigrator, leerily, ramulose, marlite,

I don't like the tv show, it's too slow. But when you strip all the talking away you're left with a pretty fun game. I only ever get 4's and 5's but earlier on i got the conundrum and nearly shot out of my seat! (Capacitors) it's worth the money, it's well constructed but just resist the urge to do dirty words!!

Not a bad implementation but let down badly by the numbers section. I find myself repeatedly getting the right answer but just not having enough time to enter it. Typing will always be slower than scribbling the answer down as per the original format. Why not simply have an option to make the numbers disappear after the timer runs down? You can then give a set time in which to enter the answer. If you delay more than 3 seconds you fail.

Far too many duplicate letters picked. Nearly every time at least two letters come up twice, sometimes three letters. Quite often a letter will come up 3 times. Too easy to end up with something like RRROOAATI or DDEEUULBN.

For whatever reason the app no longer loads past the title screen. Tried reinstalling and clearing cache, nothing helps. Was fun for the couple of days it worked

Faithful transfer of the TV quiz, so would be harsh to score lower. It's screaming out for an online version, though, which would elevate it to 5 stars. Not sure how long it'll keep me satisfied with CPU opponents.

I have uninstalled an reinstalled this game but yet my achievements aren't resetting an it's starting to get frustrating now x the option should be there to reset the achievements urself

Great app, just like playing with the guy's on TV, at least for me, like the 8 Out of 10 Cats version...the only thing is when selecting letters, it almost always gives you a bunch of letters that just dont work together, like too many of the same letters in one round, which unless you're a lexicologist like Suzy Dent, you haven't got a chance...the real game is much easier, as they really shuffle up the letters...what am I going to do with 3 O's and 3 A'S in 9 letters?

Looks great but too much time is wasted faffing about trying to get the letters in correct place(they tend to move about a bit, wasting time)adding the numbers together is time consuming too, I suggest you have an option to extend the time to allow for extra time needed to play this game on a phone (would be way more enjoyable game) it's nippy at the moment, as you are at a big disadvantage compared to just scribbling your answers and solution on a bit of paper in 30secs as on the tv show.

Wow!!! Brilliant game! I love the show (it's my favourite TV show ever!!) Sometimes there can be duplicate letters but, nevertheless, it is a splendid game! The conundrums are sometimes tricky which is good because it makes you think. To summarize, it is a superb game. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ☺

I really like this game but a few minor improvements... Computer should say how many letters it has got every second go before player has to (ie. take it in turns to go first); computer should occasionally choose words which are incorrect; and 'Secret Keep playing to learn more' needs updating - I've played over 200 games and I'm ready to learn more!

There is one improvement that would overcome seeing a better answer and not having time to type it. At the end of the 30 seconds you declare how many letters you have or the number you have reached. Then you could either select from your answers within the 30 secs or type in your better answer with a time limit as when entering the conundrum

When I first bought this app, I could not help but be impressed by its overall layout. It has been designed so perfectly with the Channel 4 quiz show format. However, there is one major drawback to what would otherwise be a five-star rating. The words game and the conundrums are of top quality, but what lets this game down so badly is that when it comes to the numbers, there is a major glitch! When you add, subtract, multiply or divide certain numbers at the start of the game to reach a certain amount, that is fine. But when you need to add that on to another separate sum total underneath, it just refuses to work, no matter what you try. Why oh why, could they not have included an equals sign and allowed you to bring the sum total from the top of the page down onto the next line!!! PLEASE SORT THIS NUMBERS GAME OIT AND THEN I WILL START PLAYING IT AGAIN!

The app is really well executed but although the easy setting is simple to beat, getting zero points, the next one up is too hard and blitzes the numbers round.

Just like the TV game. Varying difficulty levels and 2 player mode are great. No online matches, that would be a welcome addition to the game.

Pretty good game but it claims to use the OED as a reference for the words but so many words it disallows are in the OED - unrotted wasn't allowed! So, a bit annoying and could be improved.

Great app. Great game. Addictive lol although some American spellings are accepted and others aren't. I got one rejected and later on the conundrum was spelt the American way!!

I love the game but, for some reason, the conundrum score isn't factored into the Google leaderboard... Just felt rather proud at a 108 score and Google is registering it as 98...seems to always do this.

The HD graphics and near identical gameplay make this game lots of fun and highly addictive.The two player mode (passing back and forth) is cumbersome and does not match the slickness and quality of the rest of the app, an online or local bluetooth/WiFi update HAVE to happen. There should be some allowance for having an answer not written down. I find this particularly frustrating with the numbers rounds as actually doing the maths takes much longer than just scribbling down an answer to show workings

I do love this app, it is great for passing the time with my wife or on my own if I am waiting around anywhere or have a quiet moment ... so why 4 stars? It is let down a little by the numbers round, there needs to be brackets so that you can more naturally perform calculations as you often know the answers (or at least could get close) but waste valuable seconds trying to work out the best way to perform the calculations without brackets. I do love the game however, and even if the developer does not feel capable of including the brackets I will still play it. It has a beautiful interface and is pretty true to the TV game in design. So well done, I am sure it helps my grey cells ... but please improve the numbers round to warrant a 5 star rating.

I love Countdown on TV and this is a perfect conversion. Lovely presentation, not tacky looking like some other quiz games. A bargain at £1.50!

YOU'VE TAKEN 2 PAYMENTS OF £1.49! first one said error unable to connect to server then I re purchased as the option was there as unsuccessful :-/ how do I get one of the charges returned??

Really good game. Only problem is it needs rachel popping up now and again

I love playing but the conundrum never shows and it ruins it.
