Common questions

How does the scoring work?

For each answer you set how sure you are, from 50% (a coin flip) up to 99%. If you are right, being sure earns more points. If you are wrong, being sure costs more. At 50% you get 0 either way. At 90% a right answer earns 96 points and a wrong one loses 224. Because a confident miss costs more than a confident hit earns, the best way to score is to say exactly how sure you really are, not to bluff.

How do I turn reminders on or off?

Go to Settings in the app to choose a daily nudge and its time, and reminders for forecasts that are due and for the weekly letter. The daily nudge stops by itself if you leave three in a row unopened. To stop all notifications, turn them off for Halfsure in your device's Settings.

What is Halfsure Plus, and how do I restore it?

Plus is sold through the App Store as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. If you bought it before, or on another device with the same Apple Account, open the Plus screen and tap Restore purchases. To cancel a subscription, use your Apple Account's subscription settings. Refunds are handled by Apple.

Why does the app ask what year I was born?

Halfsure is for people aged 13 and over, and some settings differ for players under 18. The app uses the year once to set an age band and does not keep the year. If you are under 13, the app cannot be used.

Why are Hunches closed at night?

For players aged 13 to 17, Hunches close for the night after a late session and open again at 6 am. Any player can also set a daily limit for Hunches in Settings.

How do I challenge a friend?

After the day's set, tap Share on your result. The link carries only the set number, how sure you were in each round, whether you were right, the score you called and your nickname. It does not reveal the answers, so your friend can play the same set and compare.

How do I add the widget?

Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen, tap the add button, search for Halfsure and choose the Hunch of the Day widget. It shows the day's Hunch.

How do I delete my data?

Go to Settings and tap Delete my data. This clears everything Halfsure has kept on the device. Deleting the app does the same. If you use iCloud, you can remove the copy in your iCloud account from your device's iCloud settings. The privacy policy has the details.
