Pros and cons of Malcolm Tucker: The Missing Phone app for iPhone and iPad

Malcolm Tucker: The Missing Phone app good for

Amazing use of the iPhones capabilities, for one of the most vile, hilarious characters of all time. Definitely went above and beyond for this app. Kudos!
Its absolutely amazing and I love it!! however it crashes every time something new comes like email or voice mail. Also crashes when clicked phone icon and next phone icon. But beside that it works like a charm!!!

Some bad moments

If youre a fan of In the Thick of It or In the Loop, this is a must-have.
Congrats to the writing team and techies of this app - you nailed it. Its funny, smart, and well designed. Looking forward to noobi3. Highly recommend for those who like the series and also for those who like witty content.
Just brilliant! Its really lovely to be back immersed in the world of (funny) politics. I really missed Malcolm and Ollie.
Im a huge fan of show, movie, and character, and was looking forward to this app. For the day I downloaded it, this app doesnt disappoint. But very soon the material turns from flood to trickle, and its at this point when you wonder whether its worth the pretty significant price (at least for iPhone apps). To justify the cost Id really love to see the writers extend the material beyond the basic gag of Malcolm having lost his phone -- something that brings you a bit more deeply into the world of the Thick of It. Perhaps the block on the iphone comes undone and you either start getting more contemporaneous material or bits from further back -- notes on his past with steve fleming, for example, or where jamies gone off to. Basically, I like whats here, but for the money I expect more.
Well, somebody had a good idea and that idea was well executed. Well timed, as to give the impression of reality, this app keeps on giving. Im sure it will end at some point, but youre left with lots to read, and re-read. The participation from some of the actors (particularly Capaldi himself) is an unexpected treat, but this app would be worth it simply for the Memos and Docs section. The writers really nailed the tone of every character who contributes an email, text or who wrote something in one of the docs. Thank you for selling this in the US—were not all complete monkeys.
I never write reviews, but this app made my day. Very clever premise, and nuggets of Tucker-joy on tap - what more could you want? May the updates never stop… Now Ive got to work on my poker face when Im reading it in dull meetings.
