Comments on Codenames for Android

★★★★☆ Austin H (SabertoothAce) · Dec 2, 2025
Such a great game. My only complaint is that you can play multiple games with people which is a good idea to try but in reality you have to wait longer for people in one game, which isn't fun to play through Imo
★★★★★ Angela · Dec 23, 2025
Great adaptation to the board game. The gameplay, different game modes, and rules make sense for the online play. I also love the different introductions of different mechanics as you progress. This app is really refreshing for veteran Code name players. Well worth the $5, no ads, no dlc, just the great game.
★☆☆☆☆ Leena Abdulqader · Oct 2, 2026
I've been excited to try the game it worked well for a day very entertaining now whenever I open it renders saying waiting for data tried referent internet connections cleared cache restarted app and phone multiple time but when I signed to the game with a different account it worked just fine so am not sure what happened am so upset I paid to lose all my work.
★★☆☆☆ Maxime Robert · Oct 10, 2026
Bought the new Duo expansion, and I'm disappointed to see it's only for online play, and you cannot do Pass and Play for Duos (two humans playing on the same phone). That's mostly why I bought the expansion, I wish it was clearer what the expansion comes with. Otherwise, the game is great, that just left a sour taste for me
★☆☆☆☆ Amelia Aldridge · May 9, 2026
I bought this game, played for a while. But after the last update it's acting like I NEVER paid for it and have to pay $4.99 just to play again. I made lots of progress, and now I'm just genuinely upset.
★★☆☆☆ Ron Langeveld · Dec 27, 2025
Split screens are much too slow, killing momentum. Waiting for rewards to get unpacked takes forever causing loss of interest. Regarding rewards; what's the point of selecting words for your collection? While basically a great game it is quickly becoming a drag.

Description by CGE digital Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Codenames is a clever word game of deduction, teamwork, and strategy, inspired by the popular board game loved worldwide.

Give one-word clues, link multiple words, and read your teammates’ minds to win before the other team does.

Easy to learn, hard to master
Codenames is simple to understand and instantly rewarding. Every match tests your logic, creativity, and intuition — a perfect blend of casual fun and deep thinking.

Play at your own pace
Turn-based matches let you play whenever you want, as much as you want. Start several games at once and return when it’s your turn — perfect for busy players.

Smart fun for sharp minds
If you enjoy games that make you think, this is for you. Every clue and guess matters — there’s no autoplay, no idle waiting, just pure wordplay and deduction.

Why players love Codenames
