RemembaRing App Reviews

Now I cant hit update all. Why would u change the whole game instead of making a new app?

Heres a friendly suggestion: if you want to experiment with your new idea, make it an OPTION within the app (i.e., Classic mode and Modern mode). Dont make your customers throw away the classic version in order to try your new design! The classic Simon game is a classic for a reason!

I didnt install this new update, but I feel like they betrayed their customers by turning this into something else. They should of made this new update into a separate game while keeping the classic version. I wish I could delete this new "update?" from my lists of downloads, so I wont have to individually update each software. I rather delete the classic game then to download whatever this is.

What a bad move, you said youd hate to get bad reviews for your update that removes a classic. Hows that working so far? Bring back what was a fun app!

No, changing the entire app and saying "if you dont like it, dont update" is not a substitute for releasing a different app. It is not reasonable for you to expect me to stop using the "update all" button, just because you want me to pay extra special attention to this app. This is hokey.

Developers dont put out an app then change it to a totally different one in an update and charge to get the original functionality back. Users do not support this developer. As other users are reporting this is a classic bait and switch!

Removing the classic app for a modernized, uglier version was a bad idea. Offering a limited, classic alternative is insult to injury. This should be a separate app entirely, it is a misleading upgrade.

In two+ years of owning an iPhone and iPad, Ive never had the interest in writing a review. Im so shocked that they would sneakily substitute an inferior game while stealing my ability to use the "update all" button, that I have to do my best to slam this organization as irresponsible. Please revert back to the great game Simon was. Please.

Hey Madcap, Did it ever occur to you that we DL your game because it WAS the closest to the original retro "Simon Says" we could find on the app store? YOU CAN REDEEM YOURSELF BY OFFERING ANOTHER UPDATE THAT WILL ALLOW PLAY IN EITHER UPDATED FORMAT OR CLASSIC "SIMON SAYS FORMAT. PLEASE take our reviews serious. People are really upset!

I wish people understood that they HAD to change the game for copyright reasons. Still love the game. :)

Dont know what all the complaints are about. Its a nice variation of the old Simon...If you want the closest thing to the nostalgic game from our childhoods buy SimSays by Carmat.

The new is not why you downloaded this app. Its not our fault that madcap pulled a cpyrght infringement. Stay with the old and enjoy a piece of your childhood. Update and be disappointed with something different than you remember.

Remembering is in many ways better than Simon Says, but it would be nice to be able to change back to the old theme.

Easy to learn and very entertaining!!! I got it after version 2.0 came out and I have had no issues with it. Thank you!

I change my rating. I know they had to change the design and the new one is pretty good. I do think there are too many things you have to buy, but a good game.

I bought the original simon says and it updated to this. Awful I want my game back. The original Simon says was awesome.

What many dont understand is that Hasbro forced them to change it from "Simon Says" to "RemembeRing." Its still the basic concept of remembering the light patterns and sounds, just an enough change so they wont get sued. I still think it is a great game. To all you "1 star givers" if youre so angry about the change, write to Hasbro. Like it says in the description (which I doubt any of you bothered to read) there is nothing MadCap can do about it. What I dont like however is all of the separate charges for different "themes" of the same game(which will add up to about $16.00 for all). Really? How about just one fee to buy the game and include all of that in the app? Otherwise for $16.00 Ill just head to my local toy store and buy a real "Simon Says."

For those of you saying that we "1 star reviewers" that it was changed for copyright reasons and we should complain to Hasbro, consider this. We initially downloaded this because it was Simon, not this ugly abomination. Madcap could have very easily stopped supporting Simon, pulled it from App Store, and released RemembeRing as an all new app. Instead, they released RemembeRing as a patch to Simon, and thats what has everyone so pissed off. I personally find this game to be an eyesore. The wheel is ugly and the backgrounds are ugly. If you dont have slender thumbs, this game is hard to play on an iPhone or iPod Touch, especially on hard or insane. I cannot tell you how many times Ive fat thumbed the wheel, which makes the game far more frustrating than fun. At least in old school Simon, the color buttons are defined. They blur together here. This doesnt add challenge. This adds needless frustration. Madcap also needs to rename "classic mode", because its simply not true. Classic mode implies Classic Simon, not stupid ugly light ring on a checkerboard background. Had Madcap simply left Simon alone and just stopped supporting it, I would not be writing a scathing review. Instead, they took the bait and switch route, and those of us who disapprove of this have every right to voice our complaints. The issue is not so much of what Madcap did, but how they did it. Again, if you have version 1.0 or 1.0.1 and you like classic Simon, do not update to this.

Looks like they got popped for copyright infringement or something. Long story short, the new version blows.

Will never update from Simon Says. It was great in retro, but the new update makes no sense!
