### 1/5 — The worlds most baddest game ever

*2020-01-04*

Your game is so bad. If we select one category, after that we can’t even play heads up. If you can help us pls do. Till then for me it is the baddest game ever.

Thank you
Regards Asmi Ahluwalia

### 5/5 — Good

*2019-03-23*

Very good tho have to pay for somethings

### 1/5 — Tilt doesn’t work

*2019-01-19*

If you hold the phone too much in a slight down or up direction, it will register that as a tilt & literally say you got it right or wrong & skip to the next word rapid fire. My 8 year old wasn’t holding it against his head & had it tilted down just a little bit & it said it was right & slipped to the next word 3 times in a row before we could tell him to hold it against his head. Needs work.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2017-11-05, version 3.1*

Hate it when the ads play right after the game, especially when I am playing with family. Really breaks the mood.

### 3/5 — 3 stars

*2017-07-02*

Awesome app to play. Love the video feature.
-1 star because option to save video but restarts app when we click save
-1 star because Facebook option doesn't work either

### 1/5 — Work in progress...?

*2016-12-29, version 3.0*

Incredibly glitchy. Sometimes overly sensitive, and sometimes non-responsive. Plus: annoying sounds.
This app needs work.

### 5/5 — Awesome
