Frequently asked questions

How do I restore my Pro purchase?

Open the Pro screen and tap Restore. Make sure you are signed in to the App Store with the same Apple Account you used to buy Pro. Pro is one purchase across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Vision Pro.

What does Pro unlock? What are the tips?

Tic-Tacular Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks every theme. Every game mode stays free. The tips (small, medium and large) are an optional way to say thanks and help keep the game ad-free; they don’t unlock anything.

How do I play online?

Online games use Apple’s Game Center. Tap Sign In to Game Center in the app (or sign in from Settings), then start an online game. Game Center finds an opponent, or you can invite a friend. Take your turn whenever you like; you’ll get a notification when it’s your move.

Nearby play can’t find the other player

Open Nearby in Tic-Tacular on both devices at the same time.
Both devices need Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth turned on. No internet connection or account is needed.
Allow Local Network access. If you said no earlier, turn it on in Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network › Tic-Tacular.
The name the other person sees is the one you type under Your name in the Nearby section.

How does SharePlay work?

Start a FaceTime call first, then start a game in Tic-Tacular and share it with the call. Whoever starts the game plays X; sides swap each rematch. On Apple Vision Pro, spatial Personas gather around the shared table.

How do I play in the widget?

Add the Tic-Tacular widget to your Home Screen, then tap squares to play Classic 3×3 right in the widget, against the computer or pass & play. To change the opponent or difficulty, touch and hold the widget and choose Edit Widget (medium and large widgets also have buttons for this).

Is there an Apple Watch app?

Yes. Install Tic-Tacular on your Apple Watch to play the modes that fit a wrist against the computer or pass & play. Your themes come from your iPhone, and finished Watch games are added to your iPhone’s stats.

Can I play in Messages?

Yes. Open Tic-Tacular from the apps in a Messages conversation, pick a mode and send it. Each bubble carries the game; tap it to make your move.

How do I change the language?

Tic-Tacular follows your device’s language. To use a different language for just this app, open the app’s Settings and tap Language, which takes you to Settings on iPhone and iPad, or System Settings › General › Language & Region on Mac. Apple TV uses the TV’s language.

My stats or theme don’t match on my other devices

Stats, achievements and your theme sync through iCloud. Sign in to the same iCloud account on each device and give it a moment to catch up.
