But it won’t let me ipen the app. **Developer response:** New update is out with new features. Give it a try! ### 3/5 — айфон 8+ *2022-07-25* как только заходишь в приложение, вылетает. ### 2/5 — Does not open *2022-06-16, version 1.53* Bro this app doesn’t even open for me, pls fix!!! ### 2/5 — Can’t hear a thing *2020-02-08* So I saw this you tuber (EventubeTV) do a backwards challenge with this app so I wanted to try it but once I tried to listen to my recording to make sure it was the right word I couldn’t hear a thing! Then I thought “ok maybe that’s not how the game works” but when I tried to listen to my opponents word I still heard nothing even when i turned up the volume as loud as i could! So then I ended the game over and over again and even read the the instructions again but still I couldn’t hear a thing! But idk if it the app or my iPad but I’ve never had this prob before so I’m %99.9 sure it not my iPad! So I was very disappointed that I couldn’t play this game! So only 2 star sorry!☹️☹️ ### 2/5 — Meh *2019-06-14* I didn’t like the game.. the only way you can play with friends is when you are with each other and you have to do the pass and play. I was wanting a game that lets me play with my friends that are far away. The game is good quality though! **Developer response:** Update is coming with more features! ### 1/5 — What *2019-02-21, version 1.53* I can’t here what I say I don’t know why can you fix it please ### 1/5 — Can’t play with distant friends *2018-12-14, version 1.53* Can not play with distant friends ### 1/5 — backwords *2018-12-06, version 1.53* how hard can it be to make an app exactly like the original? groups can play collectively where the recording is reversed and played back for everyone to listen, the people imitate and then their recording is reversed again??? jesus effervescent christ ### 1/5 — Звука нет *2018-05-12* Добавьте пожалуйста звук в игру, а то чёт не интересно без звука слушать ### 3/5 — А??? *2018-03-28* Задумка интересная, но не могу играть с Машенькой, а качал, чтобы играть с Машенькой!!!!! Сделайте так, чтобы мои желания наконец-то совпали с действительностью!!! Жду момента, когда смогу поиграть с Марией, прошу, оповестите, когда он настанет ### 4/5 — Fun stuff! Needs text or messenger compatibility. *2017-10-29* 4 stars because it's a really fun game. I would give it 5 if they gave this app the ability to play over text or messenger. Fun still! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be great, but… *2025-07-29* I remembered how much I loved this game a long time ago. So I gladly redownloaded it and to my surprise it closes instantly after I try to open it! A real bummer considering how fun the game was.
