The game is fun, but way overpriced, and the adds show up every time I want to do something. If you don't pay two or three dollars, you have barley any option to do any catogories. ### 3/5 — OK *2015-08-30, version 3.1* This game is really OK but it could really use some differences like every game should be free and you shouldn't have to buy it from the app store. And also there should be more games for children. I did also like to ask this question why is it called real charades if it's on an electronic device? ### 3/5 — Can't buy categories *2015-07-18, version 3.0* I've had this app for a while and always liked it. I had previously purchased some categories before the most recent update. It says you can buy all the categories for $.99 but it doesn't let me. I would like this to be fixed so I can use all the categories. ### 4/5 — La leat *2015-05-30, version 2.8* La leat! This app makes me say "mum get the camera" and then when she comes down I say "just stop" so this app is cool! "Oshkaslavin" ### 4/5 — Just got it – it's cool so far! *2014-06-05, version 2.3* Haven't got to play it yet but wanted to rate so that I could get more extras. ### 4/5 — Fun *2014-05-13, version 2.2* The game is really fun with your group of friends. Definitely recommend it to other people ### 4/5 — Fun but would like more options. *2014-05-01, version 2.2* I have fun playing this with my students as an expressive language game. It would be nice if you could choose not to use certain words so if students don't know who a person is or something it wouldn't even show up. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2014-03-22, version 2.1* Really wish you could buy the extras in a pack and not all individual for .99. It's kind of expensive when it's all sold individual. :-(. But a REALLY fun game! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-12-22, version 1.7* This app is amazing my mom doesn't let me buy heads up so this makes up for it yay 😝✌💜 ### 5/5 — Stress reliever *2013-12-03, version 1.7* I work at a bar and at the end of a very stressful, annoying night we play this game. It's so fun and you will be laughing for hours on what your friends do to get you to guess the word. Best charades game out there! ### 3/5 — Stop it from closing *2013-11-04, version 1.6* The game is fun, but it closes automatically. Needs some work on this issue. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is awful *2021-03-03, version 3.9* I hate it my family never knows what any of the questions are and Most of themes cost money I hate it ### 1/5 — Money money *2020-03-13, version 3.9* This is the worst games ever it just ruined everything every thing it’s just money no fun I had this game ### 1/5 — Add blocks play *2018-02-04, version 3.9* Bad app. Ads block game play. ### 1/5 — The ads *2017-12-22, version 3.9* I got and as that covered up the words while I was playing. I was in for a cool free version of heads up. But you have to pay for the categories. The ads cover the words. And in all, I think it is awful. ### 1/5 — The worst game ever *2016-10-08, version 3.6* Badbadbadreallybad!!!!!!!!!!!!This game is the worst game ever everything is with money what's the propose of making this game free ### 1/5 — Terrible Game! *2015-04-09, version 2.8* You cannot even play this game! It's crashes 100% o the time, it doesn't even let me get a chance to pick the theme! This app needs A LOT of development, so people can actually play it and for it not to crash on them! ### 1/5 — What a lame game. *2014-12-30, version 2.8* This is the first 1 star review I've ever given because this game is awful. Every 2 seconds of playing, you have to watch a 10 second ad. Don't waste your time with this game. There are way better charades games on here. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2013-11-15, version 1.7* This game is horrible every time I open it before i can even start playing the game it crashes HORRIBLE I would rather play a Dora DORA game than trying to get this game to work If I was able to I wouldn't even give it a single star Ps. First review! ### 1/5 — Guess it game *2013-07-03, version 1.1* It won't even start the game! I click category and every single time, it crashes. I've tried it so many times and every time it crashes. ### 2/5 — Plz fix this *2014-01-04, version 1.7* The game will not get past the categories screen I have tried many things. Please fix it the game seems like it would be great ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2019-12-15* I like it ### 5/5 — Truly the best *2015-07-26, version 3.1* The best charades game, I’m so glad you don't have to put the phone on your head. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2015-07-20, version 3.0* I just wish that you didn't have to buy categories because it's like any other game where you get the app and it gives you the worst categories it's still fun to act things out though just my opinion!! ### 5/5 — 😃!GREAT!😃 *2015-06-18, version 2.8* I love it! I love that I don't have to hold it to my head! My family and I have had so many great times with this game! No malfunctions or app shut-downs... I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS APP! Get this app! I love it!😃 ### 5/5 — Best Family Game *2014-07-17, version 2.4* Your family and friends will have so much fun with this game...lots of laughs to be had. I cannot tell you how many times I have played this game with my children and they have with friends as well.
