I’d give it 5 stars but for the fact that certain words keep repeating, sometimes even back to back. This makes no sense to me ### 4/5 — Brainwork *2018-07-22, version 1.2* Love the fact my brain has to think. It's playing against yourself and sometimes realizing you haven't used your brain as much as you should. We get lazy in our thinking so this wakes your brain up. ### 4/5 — Fun *2018-04-30, version 1.2* Can keep my brain active when patience is required in lines and waiting rooms. Only wish I could control the volume with my device settings instead of simply having your game sound on or off. ### 4/5 — Love this app *2017-07-26, version 1.2* Like hangman. No one else to play with. This is the game for you. You get to do the fun part-guessing and it gets more Challenging the higher you get and it goes on categories so you have At least a starting hint. Try it. You'll love it! ### 4/5 — Great app 4 adults & kids! *2017-05-29, version 1.2* I was looking for a game that would be fun for myself and my son but also a little educational. Hangman fits the bill! You can't go wrong with an old classic. Give it a try! Only thing is as with most "free", apps u get a steady supply of advertising. Only flaw I see so far, or I would have given 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Hours of Fun *2017-04-14, version 1.2* Cute game. Addicting. I would recommend it to everyone. Starts off easy & it gets tougher as you go. I wouldn't recommend to anyone that doesn't like to use their brain, 🤓 lol😋 Also has numerous FUN categories😜, from Celebrities to clothing & diseases. Download 📲 now and play, you won't be disappointed😉❣️❣️❣️ ❤️💕🎈✌🏼️🎉💗😻👍🏻🖐🏼🐸🎊💙💛💜💚💓💞💝💟‼️✳️🆓🆒♥️ ### 5/5 — Fun to play *2017-04-09, version 1.2* This was my favorite game to play as a kid and I still enjoy it. Features are good and game gives lots of categories and words. Would recommend it to anyone that likes word games. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-03-30, version 1.2* This is a great hangman game with interesting clues, which I love, one suggestion I have would just be make the existing hint button a little more obvious. I didn't even see it for several games, but it could be helpful sometimes. Otherwise loving it!! ### 5/5 — Great games, great topic selections! *2017-03-13, version 1.2* I've always been a hangman fan and this app is by far one of the best I've tried! I especially enjoy the many topics to choose from. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Game review *2017-02-22, version 1.2* This game is hard even for beginner but it will constantly leave you in your toes and give you a reason to laugh at your friends when they guess something stupid. I've had a lot of fun playing this game and will defiantly continue. Although I don't suggest this game for anyone under 7 unless you are a protégée I will definitely say that this game is almost flawless. ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-01-30, version 1.2* Reviewing to unlock more levels. Actually was expecting to not like this game but it's a lot harder than I thought which, to me, makes it more fun. I was fully expecting this to be on an elementary school age level but it's not. Most hangman games you can figure them out after the first letter. Not this one. I can see this being a great way to pass idle time and sharpen my brain too. ### 4/5 — Fun to play *2017-01-19, version 1.2* Lots of categories, some of the words are pretty obscure.....but still fun. Update....when I kept cancelling requests to write yet another review...(I was playing BODY category) the words p*nis and va*ina kept coming up REPEATEDLY! Like 6 times in a row....just sayin.....it's a bit strange. ### 4/5 — So far so good... *2017-01-04, version 1.2* They really push you to rate this thing. I haven't been playing it long but it's ok. I feel like it could use more variety but I haven't played enough to really tell for certain. If I remember to update later I will. ### 5/5 — Super Fun! *2016-12-13, version 1.2* This is so much fun. I told all of my brothers and sisters about this hangman. It's just like when we were kids. Now we play against each other, to see who can get the best score. Very fun to play, with a variety of categories. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Is okay *2021-07-02, version 1.2* It’s the game most of remember playing. No big surprised and pleasantly predictable. Please note there words that are either misspelled or foreign (a misspelled example would be DENLTURE in the body category). There is nothing spectacular about this game. It’s cool; there are no bells, whistles or bonuses. (The game says a positive review is required to unlock the game. THAT is the reason it only has three stars. One should not have to exaggerate the app’s review.) ### 3/5 — Categories keep changing, letters too small *2021-01-28, version 1.2* It’s okay but I’ve decided to delete. The letters need to be bigger because I accidentally press other letters on my phone. Also I wish the category would stick once choosing one. The category changes after I beat the first game in the chosen category. That gets confusing because I’m still thinking I’m playing that category when it automatically changed. ### 3/5 — Fun game *2018-06-19, version 1.2* Fun game but the words do not always match the categories. We always played this as kids. Hopefully this review will expand the game categories. I don’t understand having to write a review to unlock categories because if it had more to begin with the reviews would probably be better. ### 3/5 — Hangman is ok *2017-05-28, version 1.2* Like others have mentioned the constant bugging for a review is annoying after the second puzzle I was being asked. I cancelled it out until I finished the first pack because seriously how can you tell after 2 puzzles? The first pack is a beginner pack and I found some difficult and others I questioned about where they were included; for example, the category was shapes and the word was acute, when I think acute I think angles not shapes. It's more adult themed than for children, it's ok for killing time. ### 3/5 — Too early to tell *2017-05-09, version 1.2* I like it so far but I've only payed 1 category. If you want real reviews wait until it's been played for a bit before bugging the player for a review. There does appear to be too much repetition of words- I got dimple 3 times and two were back to back, buts once I haven't played but a couple of games (maybe 10ish in the one category - body) this could just be a fluke ### 3/5 — Great idea good start *2017-04-22, version 1.2* This got potential. Great and fun way to learn about lots of things. If you want to play, and I know we all do why not learn something useful at the same time. Would prefer is country names were had no contractions or initials. After all this would be even better if the goal was to educate than to trick. ### 3/5 — Okay game *2016-12-11, version 1.2* I just started playing this game and it keeps bugging me to review it, so I'll do it and hope it stops. It's a fairly easy game to play, but I just started. It'll probably get harder. I only play word games, once in a while solitaire, but mostly word games, and I'm looking for games that aren't of the word search type, or word-picture type. ### 3/5 — Fun Distraction & Brain Challenger *2016-07-04, version 1.2* This is my 3rd attempt to get this review done. I finished my review (twice) then instead of submitting it, it erased my review just because my user name was already used. For that reason, as I am now tired and frustrated with having to rewrite a new review each time (3esed now), the stars are a 3-star rating, downgraded from my exciting review of initial play experience as a 5-star rating. I better get the FREE unlocking of whatever 'extra' things have been promised from writing a review. ### 3/5 — Better than the other one I tried *2016-06-20, version 1.2* This one is at least above an elementary school level. It may have been set up by a non- English speaker - some of the categories don't seem to match the answers (and some categories ARE the answers), so language purists may get miffed at times. Not a bad diversion though! ### 3/5 — Not bad *2016-04-22, version 1.2* Not bad. The layout/display is simple but we'll put together than other Hangman games but when you are in a specific category and tap "next game" you are taken to a new category. You would think that "next" would mean you would be in the same category. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good thinking game. *2022-03-28, version 1.2* Just like the old version but better. Helps you use your brain in a fun way. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-11-24, version 1.2* I love this game because of the different categories and levels from easy to hard and the ones that just stump me. A must for anyone who likes their intellect challenged. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2020-09-10, version 1.2* I downloaded the Handgman app a few days ago and I have enjoyed playing it so that I have to stop myself. I haven’t had any issues with this app and it’s very easy to use. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Love Hangman! *2020-04-24, version 1.2* Since I was a kid I loved to play this game - I remember drawing the little stick figure and trying to think of the hardest possible words to stump my friends. This is just a more sophisticated version. Great game I love playing still ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2019-10-26, version 1.2* I stumbled on this app and could resist trying it. This game is quite fun and it brings back many happy memories as a child. The fun part is trying to guess the word before running out of ideas and having to hit the hint button. Definitely entertaining. I’m know u will get lots of enjoyment, especially during downtime. ### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME!!!! *2019-03-21, version 1.2* I love this game! It’s so addictive. It’s easy and complex which makes it overly enjoyable, it has many many categories from body to science. It has many levels from beginner lever to expert! I had tried other hang man games before but this one ☝️ is different it’s the best I have played YET! I LOVE IT!!! There’s no other game like this one, this is way too good definitely a five star rating ⭐️ I can’t get over this game, I PLAY ALL DAY!!! It’s so ADDICTIVE!!! ### 5/5 — Hangin’ with hangman... *2019-01-28, version 1.2* I love all kinds of word games but hangman is one of my favorites!!! I like the different categories and there is a HUGE list of selections to choose from! This game reminds me of when I used to play hangman on the school bus or in school. We played during lunch & class while we used to sneak the paper back & forth hoping we wouldn’t get caught by the teacher. 9 X out of ten it was almost always about the teacher or a boy we liked. Generations played this game way before technology and cell phones, but I am glad that these games still exist in today’s society! I would recommend this game to anyone and I rate it a five star for these reasons: the game has a huge list of categories you get to choose from, then from there you can choose a subcategory. I also gave it a high rating for keeping hangman alive! Thanks. You won’t be disappointed hangin’ with hangman! ### 5/5 — Open category *2017-06-11, version 1.2* Doing this to open other categories ### 5/5 — BEST HANGMAN GAME EVER!!! *2017-05-17, version 1.2* This is the best Hangman Game I've ever played. Having a theme to help with solving the puzzle is very helpful. Any other versions of Hangman have now been deleted and I'm just playing on this one. Thank you for a great game. Would DEFINITELY suggest this game to anyone and especially over any other versions. ### 5/5 — A Fun Way To Pass Time! *2017-04-30, version 1.2* HANGMAN is a fun game to play while killing time. In addition, it's very educating for everyone to play, because HANGMAN helps people to use their thinking skills to solve the puzzles. HANGMAN is another game I have added to my gaming collection on my iPhone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
