Don't wast your time . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — MUST READ *2014-05-08, version 3.0.1* Don't buy the other charters waste of money and waste of space. ### 1/5 — Terrible waste of time and space *2014-03-28, version 3.0.1* Waste of time. It's a poorly made ripoff of "guess who". Which in theory sounds fun, but it's very slow to load and you have to be in the same location as the other person playing. Not an online capable game. ### 1/5 — Cheap rip off of guess who *2014-03-03, version 3.0.1* Terrible. Boring. Waste of time. You need another person with the game to play. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2014-02-11, version 3.0.1* IKR it's totally a waste of time ### 1/5 — Do not download unless you want to waste time *2013-11-21, version 3.0.1* You need another person with an iPhone to download together and place in the same room it's basically like guess who the board game WASTE OF GBs!!!! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-08-13, version 2.0* This app is rubbish won't open it is so completely useless ### 1/5 — Dumb *2013-07-07, version 2.0* How do you even play wast of time herz what you should call it waste time fun! ### 1/5 — Öde *2013-06-28, version 2.0* Voll schlecht ### 1/5 — No no no *2013-04-27, version 2.0* I am only 10 and I find this borriiinnngggg!!!!! ### 1/5 — Guess 'em *2013-04-04, version 2.0* How do you play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-04-29, version 4.0* This is an awesome app that is something to do with your friends if you're bored ### 5/5 — 2playerathome *2014-01-03, version 3.0.1* That's exactly what I wanted^^^ ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2013-05-15, version 2.0* This game is so awesome ### 5/5 — Free *2013-01-11, version 2.0* It's free get it ### 5/5 — Hi *2012-12-19, version 2.0* Wow ### 5/5 — Great App for an SLP *2012-10-23, version 2.0* Worth getting the studio version for all the pre-made pages and ability to build your own. I have used it already for pronoun reinforcement as well as categorization (which ones that can fly?). Has crashed on me once, but closing app and reopening fixed it. ### 5/5 — Guess'em *2012-10-22, version 2.0* I don't know it but ok. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-07-14, version 1.1* Fun to play with friends, works just fine and it doesnt isolate you from people in your our phone. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-06-23, version 1.1* The instructions are a little sarcastic, but get the job done. If you don't have a friend with an iPad, you can have one person guess until they guess the right person. The pictures a nice. The pirates look a little too voluptuous for kids, in my opinion. ### 5/5 — I like it *2012-04-07, version 1.1* The only reason why all of these people are saying they don't get it Is because they have never played the real guess who! Which is a really great game the only difference between that and this game is that this one doesn't show the whole board. It's good you should get it if you what guess who is and you have played it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
