### 1/5 — Deceptive practice

*2026-04-12, version 1.7.03*

Bought the physical copy of wheel of Fortune and downloaded the app only to find out you have to pay a yearly subscription. That is a scam and should be reported since it doesn’t tell you that on the packaging.

### 1/5 — Bull

*2026-04-08, version 1.7.03*

Have to purchase on top of physical game which is misleading because the instructions say free in the box… whatever 4$ a year ok. We have the supermarket game and it won’t even scan the items 😡

### 1/5 — Supermarket Sweep Doesn’t Launch

*2026-03-31, version 1.7.03*

Update 3/31/26: The app used to be free, now you need a subscription?  What a joke. DELETED. 

Update 7/9/24: Supermarket Sweep works now, but the scanner doesn’t focus on the barcodes so we have to manually add the prices. It takes the fun out of the game.  

All of the other games except Supermarket Sweet launches. Guess what game we have? Tried everything but when we hit “launch” it shuts down.

### 1/5 — Wheel of Fortune

*2026-03-18, version 1.7.03*

Can’t get it to work. Want my refund for it

### 2/5 — Lacking of fun

*2026-03-14, version 1.7.03*

I love this app trust me but it’s just 3 games press your luck,wheel of fortune,jeopardy please add more games like supermarket sweep or family feud or the price is right like come on dude add some more games you buns

### 1/5 — I don’t recommend

*2026-03-06, version 1.7.03*

Paid 7 quid for this game and you need a subscription to play it, if you try play without a subscription it kicks you out, there’s no way to play without paying

### 1/5 — BUNS

*2026-03-01, version 1.7.03*

4$ for subscription GET OUT

### 1/5 — Bought wheel of fortune and it’s not available on the app

*2026-02-23, version 1.7.03*

Pretty upset I spent my money to buy and play the game, but the app does not have the game (wheel of fortune) in their library, yet the app is required to play the game. Can I have my money back? Lol. Kind of bogus, and embarrassing.

### 3/5 — Must have legacy app for jeopardy and wheel of fortune

*2026-02-15, version 1.7.03*

^^

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account or log in

*2026-02-08, version 1.7.03*

Can’t create an account or login

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2026-01-25, version 1.7.03*

I purchased a game (Wheel of Fortune), box says “Requires the FREE wheel app complete with sounds from the show” with QR code. Once downloaded, the app requires a $3.99/yr subscription. 

I returned the whole thing.

### 1/5 — Total Scam

*2026-01-02, version 1.7.03*

We bought the Family Feud Board Game, and it says to download the free app to use with the game, then it made us order a subscription (which is not free)

### 1/5 — Why have a paywall

*2026-01-02, version 1.7.03*

This app WAS honestly a great app to host a family feud night. I deleted it for a while and now I decide to come back and see a big fat paywall? What the hell could you be that desperate for money that you decide to make the entire game pay to play. I get it most games are also pay to play but at least have a free version for those who don’t want to waste money especially on this greedy company.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work….DO NOT BUY

*2026-01-01, version 1.7.03*

The app doesn’t work. None of the buttons work

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE PLAY MODEL

*2025-12-31, version 1.7.03*

This is horrible I have purchased the physical game & am completely unable to play this as now each of my family is required to pay for the app to click a button to buzz while playing “ family feud “ 
Terrible play model , misleading and frustrating , do better to resolve this issue

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2025-12-28, version 1.7.03*

We bought the Family Feud game, which said to download this “free” app, but this app isn’t free.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2025-12-27, version 1.7.03*

Not free. False advertising.

### 1/5 — Horrible doesn’t have the game we purchased-scam

*2025-12-27, version 1.7.03*

### 1/5 — Can’t Delete Account

*2026-08-03, version 1.7.04*

Downloaded for a one off game to play. Can not use Delete Account function. 

There is no app support via app. 

And app support via App Store requires log in - but claims I haven’t entered a valid email!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2026-08-02, version 1.7.04*

App doesn’t even load one you try to sign in or sign up. Just freezes in the page

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-07-24, version 1.7.04*

It's says free spinner and that is not true.

### 1/5 — Games gone

*2026-06-28, version 1.7.04*

As a fan of Press Your Luck and Wheel Of Fortune, I was excited to get these games. With the app, at the time, it was awesome to have the Board and the Wheel, even if it’s just to screw around with and see the Whammy animations. It was also free (as listed on the games). Now, it only has Deal or No Deal and knock-off versions of Family Feud and Supermarket Sweep. Worse of all, it’s hidden behind a $4 annual paywall. If there is a Board and Wheel to use online or an app, go for that instead.

### 1/5 — Jeopardy Game

*2026-06-27, version 1.7.04*

This is sad , I bought this game so excited  and now I have to pay more to use this app, which every player also has to down load ugh .. And I’m nervous to subscribe without knowing if it actually works or how it works

### 1/5 — No wheel of fortune

*2026-06-20, version 1.7.04*

I bought the game and Downloaded the app and there is no wheel of fortune option.

### 1/5 — Additional payment needed!!!

*2026-06-06, version 1.7.04*

If you go out and purchase a board game that requires an app to play it you should not have to pay more money to subscribe to an app.

### 1/5 — Wrong Dollar Amounts

*2026-06-01, version 1.7.04*

I downloaded this app a few months ago and it was perfect and great to use alongside the board game. When I opened it up today it now has the wrong dollar amounts on the board?!?! Will be deleting and not using any more. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-05-12, version 1.7.03*

Why would I buy the physical game and then immediately have to purchase a subscription.

### 1/5 — Dark UI

*2026-05-08, version 1.7.03*

There’s an optional enhancement subscription however the pop up doesn’t allow you to close it and the only button is “accept subscription” for $3.99 they force you into it even though they say it’s optional. After I was coaxed into it the board game we needed to app to play WASNT EVEN IN THE APP TO SELECT even though we scanned the QR code directly in the game instructions. Whole experience felt icky and predatory. 0/10 stars

No problem with glitches used for about thirty minutes. I got this for the Family Feud game and it does what it’s supposed to. Best way to describe it is simple but useful. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
