### 4/5 — Good but…..

*2026-04-30, version 3.0.0*

I love the game but I was doing the Disney word list and I put: W,A,L, and E. But there was a space I guessed all letters but then it told me wall-e, what am I supposed to do if there’s no: - character

### 3/5 — New Stick Figure is annoying

*2026-04-22, version 3.0.0*

New update made the stick figure appear in an annoying way on hard mode.  Just do it normally: head, torso, arm, arm, leg, leg

### 4/5 — Ok.

*2025-01-29, version 2.0.6*

Whenever I try to open the app it takes me back to my Homescreen. Any Fixes?

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2024-06-17, version 2.0.6*

It’s ok, but it crashes after 3 or 4 words. 
Very frustrating!

### 4/5 — Absolutely amazing (besides the glitch)

*2024-05-01, version 2.0.6*

The game is super fun! I play by myself and my family all the time and we all love it! Especially when we are bored and it’s super stimulating. There is just one concern I have, and that is the glitch that keeps kicking me out of the game in the middle of playing. It refreshes the app and resets my progress when I go back in. Besides that, this game is perfect.

### 4/5 — Not working again?

*2023-12-11, version 2.0.6*

I start downloading again and I hit two players but it kicked me out. LOL but pls fix it?

### 3/5 — I don’t know how I feel about it😐

*2023-05-27, version 2.0.6*

It is a good app but I really don’t know how I feel about it.😐 On single player it doesn’t have a subject, you just guess letters.😶 And it is not fun if you just guess all of it! But on the other hand the two player is really fun.😃 You get to put whatever word on it and the other player needs to guess the word. But I think it needs to have an update or something because on single player I think it needs to say the subject the word is about.😔 And on the two player I think they should make it so that you get to play with people online with different phones.📱Because right now you need to be on the same phone as the 2nd player.😐 I think it will be a bit more interesting if it had an update otherwise it gets a bit boring after a while. So as a 10 year old I think it should have an update and keep having updates to make it more interesting. So I give it 3 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — Can’t play 2 player on separate devices

*2023-04-11, version 2.0.6*

It would improve the game greatly if you could play against someone online.

### 3/5 — Hangman

*2023-02-08, version 2.0.6*

It a amazing app

### 3/5 — It's ok😬

*2023-01-08, version 2.0.6*

It is fine but it gets very boring 😪quite fast and the words are really quite hard even on easy (words like diagnostic and lanthanum) and also it does not give any clues.I don't know if I would recommend this is but if my description sounds good to you then be my guest and download it.🙃

### 3/5 — Besser, wenn Deutsch

*2022-10-28, version 2.0.6*

Besser, wenn Deutsch

### 2/5 — Weird words

*2022-04-03, version 2.0.6*

I rate two stars because I want to award them for their hard works of searching up for the hardest words ever in the world. They always surprise me with some words I will never think of, like how I got Mustard and Cobalt for color category, amazing, thanks a lot.

### 5/5 — Great to play with Friends!

*2022-02-26, version 2.0.6*

I love this game, and the fact that I could just come up with something and pass my phone around to my friends to guess the word(s) is amazing! Love this game!!

### 5/5 — What are you all complaining about???

*2022-04-24, version 2.0.6*

So let me tell you my story about this app.

I LOVE hangman and I love games about it too. I play it at my grandma’s house on her telly every time we come to visit. Then I saw this game. I thought ‘yay! a hangman game!’ and tapped on it. I read the description, still thought it was cool! But then I read the reviews. They said stuff like ‘so basic’ ‘too many ads’ and that kind of thing. I ignored and decided to download.

So I started playing this game in one player and I picked easy mode as I am not an expert of vocabulary. So I started playing and got addicted. So yeah it’s not a huge game with 100 game modes, seasonal themes and stuff but WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It’s hangman, for crying out loud! I actually am feeling sorry for the developers. And also I read one review saying that it’s not a qwerty keyboard. Look. I understand that you may be used to a qwerty keyboard but… it is hangman and hangman uses an abc keyboard.

So I understand you guys. But you’ve got to understand that IT’S HANGMAN. So try to respect that please.

### 5/5 — Fun and lite

*2022-04-15, version 2.0.6*

Just 2MB, quick download. Easy to play and fun
