Dinsun Review

Calling this a 'game' is being generous. It’s a utility for a game you play outside your window. I don’t see why anyone would pay for this when you can print a sheet of paper or just look out the window and talk to each other. There is no AI, no progression, and the UI looks like it was designed in a weekend. It's a fossil from the early 'there's an app for that' era that hasn't evolved. It's functional, sure, but so is a rock. I find it hard to recommend spending even a cent on something this basic.

Filling Your Card

When the game starts, each player is assigned a unique grid of items. As you drive, look out the window for the items on your screen. When you see one, tap it to mark it off. The game will automatically announce when a player has achieved a 'Bingo' (five in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally).
