Great Game

Very enjoyable game. Well designed and works great with Apple TV. Some of the negative reviews are very old so they may be irrelevant. The game worked perfectly for us.

Not a family game.

Clean up your act.

Terrible don't buy

No user friendly. Horrible

NOT for little kids! NOT a family game!

This app is rated for ages 4+ so we bought it for family game night. All was fun and good until my 8 year old drew "sex on the beach". Yes, it's a drink, but NOT an appropriate subject for kids to be drawing.

Crashes, poor connection to atv3 - couldn't play

Spent $ to buy the expansion pack for a Christmas get together. App constant crashed, problems sharing to ATV3 and totally unusable.

Potential - Lots of work

As mentioned in a prior review there are some significant issues that prevent this app from shining. "Chalk" colors selected do not match output and end up either as neon green or pink/purple. AirPlay through AppleTV is nice but it became apparent that it had not been tested thoroughly. Screen layouts were in consistent between menus and we're not intuitive. You always have to select the basic game deck even if it is the only one you have. Output on the tv resulted in cropped screens regardless of tv formatting (wide, stretched, fit, 16:9 and 4:3). It need some serious work. For now you are better off with pencil and paper.

It has potential...

I'll list the good first.

Airplay function looks good, the word or phrase is hidden from everyone but the person drawing.
The user interface is simple and clean.

The bad...
Only 2 of the colors actually work, all the other colors show up as green.
Phrases and words are too difficult for the difficulty level they are listed under or plain impossible to draw.
Words and phrases are in odd categories, Crayola Crayons aren't a "fad"
The last update for the app was more than 6 months ago so either the developers gave up on the app or I'm the first person to realize there are any issues.
The apps free but the in app purchases end up being a complete waste when you realize how little you can do with two colors and messed up phrases and difficulty levels.

Great fun but some bugs

Simple and very entertaining. It's great fun to play when you have people over. I'm experiencing a couple of bugs though: there is literally no sound and when using Apple TV, the screen size gets distorted when you flip in and out of the app. Sometimes it actually fits the TV screen but eventually it will get distorted again. Using iPad and iOS 8.1.3.

don't bother

every 2 or 3 drawings it would quit drawing. had to exit the app, shut it down, start it up again, and resume the game, it would pick it up where it left off, WITH the doodles created trying to get it to draw in the first place. Sure glad i didn't waste any money on the in-app purchases. Deleted app in disgust.
