This one is soooo cool! Well worth 99 cents. At first I didn't know how to get started with it but once i figured out that you had to swipe the ball to get started and then you can shale it or flip it to get an answer, it made sense. I love that you can custom edit the answers. My kids changed it all to "Yes" which I didn't know you could do and played a trick on me. Pretty funny. I am using this with my friends.

99 cents is a deal for this. I have a real one and paid ten times more than that. The die floating to the top looks darn real too. I love that you can edit the answers. I wish I could put longer words on the answers though.

I think I'll hang onto this til the next version. The number of characters is quite limited and you cannot add more than 8 answers - which should be easy to change. I would've liked to have seen at least as many answers as the orginal toy. Very cool idea, but not great implementation...yet.

I got pretty creative with my answers. Looking forward to an update with more room for answers.

The reviews here were good so I spent the buck to get it. Instructions say to turn your phone over, shake, then turn it back over and it will reveal your answer. It shakes, but it doesn't reveal the answer when you flip it over. WTF? Plus the sound is annoying as hell (turn it off). Would have given it a better review had it functioned more like a real Magic 8 Ball where you can shake it right-side up and have it do its thing. DoApp can do better than this.

I really like the idea and price of this app, but there are a few things that need fixed. The app doesn't respond that well to the accelerometer, I end up having to shake the iphone extremely hard, I would hope in an update they make it more sensitive. Also when editing the answers you can only have a sertain # of characters per line: 2:4:6. It would be better if it were 3:5:7. When I go to sync with itunes it does not show Magic 8 Ball, even though it is on my iphone, anyone else have this problem? Good start- look forward to an update fixing these issues.

Was hoping to see more realistic die-in-liquid action but the visual is pretty rudimentary. Also, the die appears to be 8-sided in the visual, not 20-sided as in the original. And as others said, you're only allowed to customize 8 sides. This could be so much better.

First, when someone does something first, they deserve some credit and here it is. Sure there are "free" versions of this classic, but I like this version more than enough to pay a "buck" and so I did. The application does exactly what it should and looks very much like the original ball I first saw when I was young. Just remember to swipe it with your finger to reveal the answer and then make sure your better judgment agrees before following the instruction. My Kudos to DoApp and please do give us more things to play with, we sure need the distractions right now. As to those who like to review that which they have not purchased... Grow Up!

it works great- and note in the description the major

Yes, I know it's not the most serious "app" out there, but still it is fun. I love that doapp, inc. is improving it from 8 answers to 20 and increasing the amount of letters and lines. It will give much more flexibility in the answers!

Works well ...

Dissapointed in the "2D" pancake visual when rolling the 8 ball over. Since it is a pay app, they really should have taken the time to make it a more realistic "3D" ball roll.

Ok I asked if what ever this game called is a good game and it said no LOL don't get even thought it's free

It is okay it's fun to have when your bored but I definetly would not buy it! But overall it was ok

Sure there's a free one, if you like 2D 8 balls. If you want a true 3D experience, this is the one to get. Sure, you can get the free, 2D ball with standard answers you can't customize. But the 3D 8 ball allows for customized answers, and it looks like there is an update coming soon with more answers, more lines of text, more 3D.

it was nice but there is no color and and it made it boring!!

I, too, am perturbed by the removal of the 8 ball interface. Used to love this app, but now have removed it.

I paid for a "Magic 8 Ball" not this plain junk! I only bought it because of the magic 8 ball look. I'd rather have my money back than this! :,0(

I paid for the Magic 8 ball not this crap. Where is the cool Icon? where is the 8 ball? bring it back, I wish I could get my 99 cents back, this program is now totally different than what I paid for.

Liked and bought this app originally for the real authentic 8 ball look. And now er are stuck with this crappy interface. I want the old version back or my money back.

I wish magic skull had the customizable features...I like this better then the iAnswer..but Magic Skull Most.. this second... Good idea on the new features..NICE! I rate on what is advertised not comparing to top apps..so 5! (Magic 8 Ball Junkie I guess... )

Not only have you changed the icon to an AWEFUL one, you have also screwed up a cool app by getting rid of the 8-ball interface. That's the whole reason me and I sure others got this app. Change the icon back and the interface back but keep the other improvements.

The interface is completely screwed now. I paid for an 8 Ball, and suddenly my application turns into a rectangle that talks. Not only does it completely defeat the purpose, but it's not what I paid for. Plus, now I have to deal with the tacky title on my home screen. It looks like crap; find a real word so it keeps the standard of class Apple has set for its products. Thanks. I'll be sure not to make the same mistake again.

WHAT HAPPEN TO THE MAGIC8BALL BRING IT BACK!!!

Only 8 possible answers?

Program looks OK. Not great but not too, too horrible. But forget the custom answer thing. You can only type 2 characters on the first line. That limits you to very few words. 2nd line = 4 characters and 3rd line = 6 characters. With only 8 answers, there aren't enough possible answers either.

I think this is the best Magic 8 Ball app for the iPhone / iPod Touch. It looks better than the other ones. I love how you shake it to get an answer. I cant wait for the update. Well worth 99 cents.

This app shows how much fun you can have with an iphone. For 99 cents it is well worth the price. The customizable answere is a nice touch as well. If you are on the fence about purchasing this app, I would say just go ahead and do it. You won't be sorry, and who knows when you will need a little help making a tough decision in life...

Not to be too picky, but one of the standard responses on the 8 ball is concentrate and try again. First word requires 11 spaces which still won't fit even after the update! How about replicating the official ball thereafter leaving it up to the user to decide if he/she wants to change any of those, but at least we can get the standard 20 responses on this thing, yes?
