### 3/5 — Theres always a BUT

*2026-04-29, version 1.5.8*

Me and my family absolutely love this game, we play it every time we go out to eat while we wait for our food to come and sometimes while we eat & use it over at hangouts, i did the free trial and even signed up for a little over a month until it was time to pay bills , $9.99/week is INSANE thats more than any other subscription I’ve ever owned and that says alot . Absolutely amazing game but honestly not $30-$40/month-amazing. If the price was more reasonable maybe $5/week id cave. Until then its back to “Heads Up” !

### 3/5 — Not what i was looking for

*2026-03-22, version 1.5.8*

I was looking for a game i could play with the person sitting next to me on a long car ride.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-01-26, version 1.5.7*

Literally can’t get in without subscribing first. This didn’t use to be the case!

### 1/5 — 9,99€ pro Woche gahahahahahahah

*2026-01-04*

—-

### 1/5 — Free app

*2026-01-01, version 1.5.6*

### 1/5 — Money

*2025-12-10, version 1.5.6*

Why do I have to pay I’m 9

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2025-11-08, version 1.5.6*

No way to play without paying??? Insane

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-28, version 1.5.6*

Having to pay just to play a free game like atp just don’t give us the free game smh.

### 2/5 — Not free

*2025-10-27, version 1.5.6*

you have to pay to play

### 1/5 — Insane price

*2025-10-03, version 1.5.4*

game is fun but why is it $9.99 a week to play? not even a month but a every week? who realistically is paying for that?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-09-20, version 1.5.4*

You can only play if you subscribe. Don’t waste your time. 0 stars if possible for how they advertise you can play for free.

### 1/5 — Can’t try the game

*2025-09-17, version 1.5.4*

Downloaded the game and wanted to try it but it wouldn’t let me play without agreeing to a “free trial”. Why can’t I try it before seeing if I want the paid version?

### 1/5 — Game is great… but £9.99 a week?!?

*2025-08-29, version 1.5.4*

I loved this game a lot, but to pay that price is ridiculous. Who would pay nearly £40 a month to keep this?

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-08-25, version 1.5.4*

It lets you download the game for free but nothing on it is free, you can even see anything involving the game unless you get their “premium subscription” it’s a scam, why would anyone pay EVERY SINGLE WEEK to be able to see the same cards that never change

### 1/5 — Catfish

*2025-08-21, version 1.5.4*

its free to download but you have to pay to play 10$ a week is crazy

### 1/5 — Scam!

*2025-07-05, version 1.5.4*

Literally locking the game behind a pay wall is ridiculous. $10 a WEEK?! $40 a month, $480 a year! Scummy devs.

### 1/5 — scam?

*2026-08-22, version 1.5.8*

I checked my subscriptions and it said i had a weekly £9.99 subscription to this app? Be careful

### 1/5 — disappointing, immediately deleting

*2026-08-16, version 1.5.8*

redownloaded after a while and can't access anything without paying $9.99/week??? absolutely not

### 1/5 — DONT GET THIS APP

*2026-08-13, version 1.5.8*

I used the app twice but they continued to charge me extra which makes me unable to add extra apps. I didn’t even use the app the full week of purchase and they’re charging me extra. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!! They don’t allow you rate 1 stars even if they deserve it.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2026-08-11, version 1.5.8*

### 5/5 — SADLY

*2026-07-17, version 1.5.8*

### 5/5 — Ghyopdh

*2025-02-07, version 1.5.4*

It’s fun

### 5/5 — Tatsächlich empfehlenswert

*2024-01-28*

Das Spiel macht uns seit Monaten super Spaß und auch in einer größeren Runde macht es einfach Laune. Das einzige was es zu bemängeln gäbe wären die Kategorien ,,Mädchen“ , ,,Jungen“. Als ich Spielzeug für Mädchen aufzählte, gehörte ,,Hot wheels“ in meiner Gruppe wohl nicht dazu 😉. Das könnte einfach durch ,,Kinder“ ersetzt werden :). Aber sonst super lustig und nur zu empfehlen 👍!!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-01-09, version 1.4.0*

So me and my husband actually have the actual game with timer, and this one is awesome! Its just as amazing and fun!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-12-01, version 1.0.2*

It is so fun you will laugh so hard

### 5/5 — Number 6iiiiiix

*2023-11-27, version 1.0.2*

If I could I would rate this game 6iiiiiix stars which is basically 9/11 cause this game is very much fish gambit. Eduardo gaming moments all around.
