The timer also restarts its self so the players get confused when their time is over. The words are ok. It would be nice if it kept scored and timer would stop ### 4/5 — Loved it but *2020-03-16, version 1.2* It’s a good game, but could you make it so you can get to the next word with out touching it, because you’d have to look at the word to skip and you could see the next word ### 2/5 — Suckered! *2019-12-29, version 1.2* The game is meant to be played for one round per category. Next player will have the same words repeated. ### 1/5 — Deceptive Rating — Poorly Designed *2019-12-27, version 1.2* Apparently this has a good rating because you can keep playing for free if you give it five stars. Is that even allowed? Shouldn’t be. The timer doesn’t seem to make a sound or even stop the play after a round, it just restarts forever. More repetition in prompts than there should be. ### 1/5 — Don’t fall for it *2019-11-29, version 1.2* Only has high ratings because it makes you rate it 5 stars or makes you pay $1. Don’t buy anything. Don’t fall for it ### 1/5 — Feel scammed *2019-07-27, version 1.2* Got to play for about 2 minutes before it cuts you off unless you pay ### 2/5 — Misleading Ratings and Limited Functionality *2018-12-30, version 1.0* Almost immediately, this app will make you rate it 5 Stars to keep on playing. Also, the timer automatically starts over once it reaches 0, and there are no sounds, so players often don’t know their turn is over. And there are no changes that you can make in Settings. The actual words that it provides for the game are fine though. Nonetheless, I’d recommend downloading a different game. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We'll take your advice on board and implement a sound then the players turn is over. :) ### 3/5 — Timer Doesn’t Chime *2018-12-28, version 1.0* Really? ### 5/5 — Tia *2018-12-25, version 1.0* This game is good ### 5/5 — he *2018-12-24, version 1.0* sooo fun xD ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-11-17, version 1.2* Weird categories, and the “Dance Moves” category doesn’t bring up anything. Each category maybe has 15 words. No scoring options. Pass resets the time remaining and just for the record spiders and flies are not an animals. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2021-04-25, version 1.2* Ran out of words in about 6 minutes after buying ### 1/5 — Does not last long *2021-01-01, version 1.2* We quickly went through all of them and started getting repeats. For an app you have to pay for you would think there would be thousands before repeating, but there are hardly any. ### 1/5 — MONEY SUCKER *2020-04-30, version 1.2* Plays 4 rounds then asks you for money to keep playing. Not worth it. No wonder there’s only 600 downloads. ### 1/5 — Not free *2020-04-05, version 1.2* It’s “free” for a few minutes, and then you have to pay to continue. Lies. I’ll download a different app. ### 1/5 — Band charades app *2020-03-07, version 1.2* There is no scoring for the teams and no sound when someone’s time is up. It is effectively useless as a charades app. ### 1/5 — Not actually free *2020-02-10, version 1.2* Paid for 5 minutes and now it won’t let me use it again until I pay ### 1/5 — This is a pay app!!! *2020-01-09, version 1.2* NOT a FREE APP. Played for 1 minute and is now “locked”. To continue you have to buy the app for $0.99. A buck is a buck, no big deal. Just say upfront it is a pay for app. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2020-01-05, version 1.2* Don’t get this it’s horrible You only get to play for 2 minutes free I hope they fix this but don’t get it now... ### 1/5 — Why does the timer keep restarting? *2019-12-29, version 1.2* Not sure what’s going on. When does it switch teams? No instructions ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I guess *2020-08-30, version 1.2* Good so far. Haven’t played much but we have to write a review to continue ### 5/5 — Hmmm *2020-06-13, version 1.2* Had to do this ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-12-31, version 1.0* Real fun app, easy to use and ad free! ### 5/5 — I had to... *2018-12-31, version 1.0* ...rate this 5 stars to continue playing after trying out the app for 2 seconds. ### 5/5 — misleading rating *2018-12-30, version 1.0* i mean, it's a decent app. i just hate how they make u rate 5 stars so you can continue playing. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2018-12-29, version 1.0* Makes you write a five star review to unlock unlimited though haha ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-12-28, version 1.0* Awesome app👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌 ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-12-26, version 1.0* Good app ### 5/5 — Don’t know yet *2018-12-26, version 1.0* Seems ok ### 5/5 — Misleading *2018-12-26, version 1.0* Makes u rate 5 stars to unlock things --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
