### 1/5 — Nicht mehr zu empfehlen

*2025-07-07*

Ich mochte das Spiel mal ganz gern, da man auch kostenfrei einige Optionen zum Spielen hatte. Jetzt kann man das Startpaket 1x durchspielen und das wars. Ich kann mir leider auch keine Werbung mehr anschauen und damit kostenlose Münzen verdienen, um andere Pakete freizuschalten. Ich habe jedoch noch Münzen angesammelt, die ich aber nicht zum Tausch einlösen kann, obwohl es eigentlich (laut Angabe) möglich ist. Keine Ahnung was da los ist, aber nun wird das Spiel gelöscht.

### 1/5 — Comprei cartas mais não aparece

*2025-01-12*

Comprei cartas dentro do jogo mais não aparecem

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2024-08-30*

Can’t sign in to play online

### 5/5 — So good

*2024-08-17, version 7.3.4*

Me and my brother keep playing it

### 1/5 — Problème

*2024-08-03*

Le jeu est parfait, seul souci : tous les achats effectuées (packs de questions, options sans publicité, etc…) ne sont plus pris en compte depuis quelques temps.
Et aucune connexion via Facebook ou Apple ne fonctionne.
Puis, enfin, le bouton « JOUER EN LIGNE » ne fonctionne plus non-plus…
Si le problème est réglé par le développeur, je retirerai ce commentaire.
Merci

### 2/5 — Tradução incompleta

*2024-03-03*

Falta português Br que é mais falado mundialmente que o pt-pt.

### 1/5 — Noone actually plays.. only AI !!

*2023-11-12*

I actually wrote things that have nothing to do with the words I should be describing…the “players” always guessed the word… the “players” are only AI and no real persons.. deleted

### 5/5 — 👍🏼🙏

*2023-10-16*

Отличная замена материальным карточкам.

### 5/5 — Need more cards/categories

*2023-09-07*

Great game...even better concept than the actual Taboo app since this game goes by points, not rounds. Only thing developers need to add are more cards/categories as it gets repetitive over time!

### 1/5 — Как получить монеты?

*2023-05-12*

Скачала все приложения, за которые дают монеты, по итогу ничего не дали
