Now there are no in game coins and you have to have a stupid subscription to play categories. It’s not as fun anymore. ### 4/5 — Charades is a great app *2026-05-04, version 2.11* If you love games this is for you it’s almost just like the original but free but it does give you adds after every round but it’s a fun and great game to play with family and friends! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-01-27, version 2.11* Can you please fix the game where there’s not ads popping up where you can’t exit out ### 4/5 — decent game! *2026-01-21, version 2.11* works really well & is fun. the only reason i wouldn’t give it 5 stars is because there’s both ads AND in app purchases to be able to unlock all categories, which i think there should only be one or the other. however, you do have a decent amount of free categories to choose from, plus it’s pretty quick and easy to earn points to be able to unlock other categories without paying irl money. ### 4/5 — It’s cool and fun 👍🏼 *2025-10-31, version 2.11* I’ve seen people play this game in rollercoaster lines. It looked fun so I went searching for the game bc I went to Disneyland recently. When I found this app it’s a little addictive it’s really fun it’s also a good game to play when your bored or just hanging out with your friends I recommend it but I’m avoiding buying stuff in game I don’t recommend doing it Bye have a nice day! 👍🏼<33 ### 4/5 — Time for each Charades game *2025-06-25, version 2.11* the game is super fun but i highly suggest an option to make the games shorter or longer than 1 minute ### 4/5 — amazing but needs work *2025-06-19, version 2.11* this app is amazing! i love playing when im waiting in line. my only concern is that my screen keeps getting distorted after i finish a round. please fix this bug. ### 3/5 — Fun but Ads are a fail *2025-06-05, version 2.11* Game is fun but ads are a fail . Needs an ad free version. The ads are so distracting, you can’t actually play the game. ### 4/5 — lol *2025-05-30, version 2.11* It is amazing my kids love making up the cards ### 3/5 — MORE TIME *2025-05-15, version 2.11* MORE TIME ### 5/5 — So fun *2025-03-30, version 2.11* It ### 2/5 — Ads cover app *2025-03-23, version 2.11* Not worth free because the ads cover app functions and don’t make it easy to play the game with them. You may as well find something else if you don’t want to deal with the ads or pay for it. ### 5/5 — Ben *2025-03-20, version 2.11* A bludeh luv dis gam. maces ma neet. Al ma marras hav pua leful laf ### 4/5 — Good overall, like customization *2025-01-25, version 2.11* I like this app compared to the other similar ones because of the ability to make your own decks. However, I think it really need to add some more options to edit and delete things from custom decks. That’s the only thing keeping it from being a 5/5 for me. The ads were annoying but it’s cheap to disable them permanently compared to the prices for other charades style apps. ### 4/5 — MUST READ *2024-12-21, version 2.11* 𝓘 𝔀𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓼𝓪𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓪𝓹𝓹 𝓲𝓼 𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭 8 𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓸𝓯 10 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓰𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓯𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵𝔂 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓘 𝓭𝓸 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓹𝓪𝔂 𝓽𝓸 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓼𝓮𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓪𝓭𝓭𝓼 -𝓘 𝓵𝓾𝓿 𝓣𝓢 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lots of Ads *2026-06-22, version 2.11* Used to be a great game but now shows gambling ads every round. Would rather not subject my kids to gambling ads. ### 1/5 — Please fix for 12.5.7 *2025-04-05, version 2.11* This game immediately crashes on iOS 12.5.7, which is a shame cuz it’s a great game. ### 1/5 — WHY!? *2025-03-22, version 2.11* It won’t even let me enter the app what is this garbage of charades I have it on iPad but why no work with IPod?????? ### 1/5 — Family game *2025-02-09, version 2.11* It is the best game you can ever have I played for hours with my dad as a kid and it is amazing definitely worth it ( it is free)! THE BEST GAME EVER ### 1/5 — Incorrect grammar and spelling *2024-12-30, version 2.11* Using ‘your’ in place of ‘you’re’, do better. Is this game run by a group of five year olds? Shaking my head. 😾 ### 1/5 — Everything’s gone *2024-07-17, version 2.11* So it was just a normal Tuesday, playing charades with my boys at the crib. I was alarmed at the sound of my phone ringing and a bunch of notifications flooding my phone. As I open my messages my heart drops to the floor. The message read “It’s over, you don’t take showers and you don’t even talk to me anymore, and I’ve found a better man, taller, and a way bigger wiener.” I was devastated. Out of anger I deleted the app and still haven’t showered in weeks. ### 1/5 — Very glitchy and laggy *2024-07-03, version 2.11* It’s very glitchy and laggy I know it’s not my phone because it’s new. I wanna give it a 0 but it’s not possible ### 1/5 — Game is terrible *2024-05-08, version 2.11* Too wordy and bad very very bad it sucks ### 1/5 — What I’m reading really makes me sick *2023-12-23, version 2.11* So I’m reading the ratings AND IM READING THAT THERE LOTS P0RN HOW IS THIS A FAMILY FRIENDLY GAME AND 4+ YALL HAVE TO FIX THIS THIS IS NOT OKAY THERE ARE KIDS PLAYED IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS DEVELOPER I FEEL VERY SICK FROM READING ALL THOSE COMMENTS 🤮🤢 ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2023-12-09, version 2.11* Too many ads can barely play the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Goat *2026-07-31, version 2.11* This is absolutely amazing and I love it very goated ### 5/5 — Amazing game where you don’t have to pay real money to play *2026-05-12, version 2.11* But can we get a Supernatural tv show category? ### 5/5 — Very fun game. *2026-03-03, version 2.11* Very.

I’ve been looking for a charades game that’s free and this is the one. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-04-25, version 2.11* This is the best --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
