  • music11 mentions

    The music aspect of the app has received mixed reviews, with users frustrated that it overrides their music player, causing interruptions during gameplay.

    • “I like using this game while I listen to music or a podcast.”
    • “Keep adding 'decks'; maybe lower prices on the odd decks or have sales once a month or something on detailed decks.
