I love this app. I bought it freshman year of HS, I loved it, took a little break sophomore year, but Im still playing it now and will be going on my senior senior. A few quirks I find obnoxious but not unplayable:
1. Leaving the app
If you leave the app in any way beyond locking the screen, all your players reset to player 1/player 2 and its obnoxious AF. This was the reason I took my break, as I could never find a moment where I had time to play through all the events without having to do/message anyone else, because OCD makes me hate it if the leaderboards arent all normal names (as opposed to p1/p2)
2. I cant connect to the Facebook leaderboards, it wont let me sign in at all. Just screen shakes when I press the gray sign in to Facebook bar. May just be a phone issue but IDK.
3. Variety
Not what you think this is going to be about. The variety Im looking for is in the character models and country flags. Almost every female character I make (I usually base them on my friends and teammates to make it interesting) is forced to be the blond girl because theyre white, even though they have black or brown or some other color hair and/or style and its annoying. Men there are barely more options but not enough for my liking.
4. Events
I like the 5 events, dont get me wrong, but I would like some more events to try. I realize that it would take away the novelty of the game if the controls needed to be altered or the game became TOO ridiculous (like running a 400 at 8.3 pace) to add other events. So Im in the minority in thinking that HJ, TJ, relays, among others are bad ideas. As in twice is the most Ill ever want to have to press the jump/action double button (à la LJ).
But thanks for a great game and I wish world leaderboards were more easily accessible.
