If you need any help, email us at mail@redapemobile.com ### 3/5 — It is confusing *2025-01-02* The reason I wrote it a three is because it didn’t give me options to pick and it’s kind of hard to guess tea when there is a picture with a mug steamer of it I thought it was coffee it’s very hard to tell **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback!

Reach us at mail@redapemobile.com ### 2/5 — Not letting my friend play *2024-06-28* So first this game does NOT let you play with friends and 2 this screen for a game is so small it’s just REALLY small on an iPad and THERES NO COLOR IN DRAWING for some reason (you can sketch fun things tho) and THAT IS WHY I GIVE IT 2 STARS 🌟 **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback! Draw & Guess is a pass-and-play game — just hand the device around each turn. iPad layout and drawing tools are on our radar.

J’aime beaucoup ce jeux, ça ressemble aux jeux TéléStrations. Vous vous rappelez sûrement d’avoir déjà jouer au jeu du téléphone arabe? Disons que c’est un peu le même principes. De toute façon il n’y a pas vraiment de gagnant, le but du jeux c’est de rire et s’amuser en groupe. Le plus drôle c’est de regarder le dessins des autres joueurs à la fin, surtout quand ils ne sont pas bons en dessin.😄🙈 Plus il y a de joueurs plus le jeux est drôle et amusant. Nous autres nous ne prenons pas les mots proposés, nous décidons nous même des mots en plus de mettre un(e) action. Example: une mouche qui se déguise en abeille.😁 Essayez donc ça vous…🤔 c’est pas évident de dessiner une mouche🪰 qui se déguise en abeille,🐝 non? Ce n’est pas facile à dessiner et encore moins à deviner! Mais c’est tellement drôle de voir où nous pouvons être capable d’allez avec ça.😂 Les joueurs devront aux minimums être capable de lire et écrire. Mais ce n’est pas grave si il y’en a qui ne savent pas bien dessiner… je vous dirais même que c’est encore plus drôle d’en avoir un ou deux. Surtout amusez vous!😉🤘🏼🤘🏼 **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup! Nous sommes ravis que vous aimiez le jeu! 🎨 Pour toute question, écrivez-nous à mail@redapemobile.com ## Frequently asked questions about Draw & Guess Words w/ Friends ### What is Draw & Guess Words w/ Friends?
