Comments on Countdown - The Official App for Android

★★★★★ I think that this is a really good learning game if you would like please leave me a message to go on countdown

★★★★★ I love the TV show and the app game however on many occasions I will play a word that the game says isn't in the dictionary but on doing a dictionary check the word is there :(

★★★★★ Just like the TV game. I especially like the option where you can note all the words you find and then choose your best one. Just needs a Rachel Riley avatar

★★☆☆☆ This app hasn't had an update in years and doesn't work at all for newer devices and Android versions. While it still runs well on older devices, times have moved on, and it desperately needs an update. I still think having a clock-only mode would be great in case you're playing outside the app but at this point any update would be well received.

★★☆☆☆ This game is rubbish. Says on a regular basis that word not in dictionary. I created NEPTUNE and was told this word does not exist in the dictionary???

★★☆☆☆ This app does not use the same dictionary as the show, so allows words that are invalid on the show, and disallows many valid words. As a tool to practice for an appearance on the show it is of limited use.
