### 1/5 — Gandmari app

*2025-09-19*

Ghatiya UI

### 2/5 — Incorrect decks

*2025-04-30*

Not able to select some decks as singing decks pops up everytime

### 4/5 — Please work on glitches

*2024-12-04*

I love this desi heads up but there are some infuriating glitches. 
1. Tilting it any side is passing the word and rarely marking it correct. 
2. Showing another deck while playing a different deck. (Eg: I selected shaadi and it started music and that too twice)

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2023-11-13*

Such a fun app, just what we were looking for! Evenings with friends just fly by and you never want to stop playing this game! Great set up for desi nostalgia and fun mix of categories!

### 4/5 — Good but needs updating

*2023-05-17*

Works nice and provides good laughs. Also like the fremium model. Needs updates to support more screen resolutions and better UI. Also need a bit more categories and an option to change timer length to more than 1 minute.

### 5/5 — Nothing but fun
