Yay!

I’m 11 and before my mom thought I’m to old for HangArt but it’s so fun I can draw make stories with the words I learn and although I know most of the words it’s still fun and sometimes I even find my mom playing it

Diverse and fun!

Hangart is so much fun! This great game is perfect for long car trips where you want the occupants to stay alive, awake, alert, and enthusiastic instead of just zoning out in front of another movie. As a dyslexic and someone who comes from a diverse family, it was nice to see the easy-to-read font and inclusive depictions of people from every walk of life. I also recommend the story recorder and drawing tool. It’s better than most painters I have seen out there. The app also works best on a tablet, but it worked fine on my phone, too.

I love it!

Great fun for me and my daughter! We've spent hours collecting words and love drawing our own pictures of our favorites. My daughters face just lights up whenever we playback one of the stories we created together. Great work - really building happy memories for my family :)

Hours of repeated play!

My four-year-old loves it. She's an artist at heart, and this app really sretches her vocabulary.

Wonderfully creative!

I downloaded this well-made app for my 2 boys (ages 6 and 4) and can't believe how engaged they are! They love guessing which letters to choose in the clever 'hangman' section. Their favorite section (so far) is the art section- they not only love saving their creations to the photo roll, but adore watching the app re-create their images in faster speeds. This is a beautifully crafted app! Great job!!
