Digital Force Bag 4+

This is a neatly constructed app.
And works very smoothly indeed.
I have one query though. I am using an iPhone XR and have noticed what seems to be a error.

On ticking the option to use the swipe screen on startup.
On my iPhone, instead of going straight to the swipe screen, the settings screen flashes up first and then the swipe screen appears. I’m not sure if this happens on other iPhones but before any screen is shown the check for going straight to perform (or not) needs to be executed in the app code and then the right start screen can be chosen to appear (perform or settings). Other than that great piece of work.

I’m giving it 5 stars because it really is an amazing app. There are a few small discrepancies eg. There is slightly less space on the top of the screen above the apps than there should be, and the notes app is slightly unusual. Both of these will go unnoticed.

The next 2 things aren’t really ‘negatives’ but could have improvements.

The apps aren’t customisable. They’re pretty normal things and the spectator shouldn’t have enough time to see them anyway. They have small hints to help the magician, which I didn’t notice for a while after using the app. I think these are unnecessary because if the magician is paying close enough attention to ‘read’ these, it will cause an awkward moment where they should be acting normal. The app is easy to use but needs a little practice to make this smooth.

The next is just an idea. When one item on the list is moved, only that is moved. I think it would be better in a cycle, so that eg. They could pick any celebrity and any number and the whole list would move. Therefore, if you remember that theirs is 3rd on the list, your chosen 12th and they picked the number 50, with enough practice you could work out the difference is 9 so you move to 59.

Overall though, the positives outweigh the negatives, people don’t suspect a thing and it is a fooling way to force a thing without suspicion.

One of the cleanest force apps I’ve seen. Wish it had a dark mode function built into the notes
