Monopoly GO Review (Game Reviews) (App Reviews) (Reviews)

Review by: Warren Woodhouse

Rating: 3 stars

Platform: iOS

Review Date & Time: 5th November 2025 at 5:33 pm

This game is really fun but as soon as you boot up the game you receive notices to buy things… really puts me off as I don’t use money in games anyway. Being able to collect Stickers is fun but frustrating when you can’t trade some in and keep receiving duplicates all the time, especially for like duplicated 7 stickers of one Sticker. Instead of offering GO Cash and GO Dices all the time in Bank of Monopoly, it would be nice for those Map 182 and higher to receive Stickers that we don’t have instead, that would be a different way to keep the game interesting. Otherwise it’s a three star rating from me.

Google Photos Review (App Reviews) (Reviews)

Review by Warren Woodhouse

Review Date: 23rd July 2021 at 2:42 pm

Rating (out of 5 stars): 5 Stars

I love this app far more than Flickr and Google Photos has improved since the last time I used it, so that’s good. Glad to see all my photos don’t take up space and the only problem I have is that if you upload large high quality HD photos that were taken using a Nikon D3300 DSLR or another equivalent DSLR of sorts, Google Photos doesn’t let you save them in their original quality. Well, it does but it basically says your storage is full. Would love to see support for high quality photos that are part of the unlimited storage, that would mean that I won’t need to use Flickr anymore as a result of a better more efficient service. That’s the only thing that’s letting Google Photos down. Sadly. Apart from that, I’ve had no issues with Google Photos except for the occasional odd glitch and that some photos don’t back up correctly and dates don’t appear correct in photos. Those are the only things that this app needs improving on, then I’ll definitely give you guys a full knock out 5/5 rating, for sure. So far you get 4 stars from me, as for Flickr, I would probably give them 2 stars. They deserve it.

Dear Met Office,

My name is Warren Woodhouse. I think your iPhone App is better than your Desktop Widget since the app loads faster and is easier to navigate.

Thanks.

Yours Sincerely,
