You don’t have all the decks. My nephews are really enjoying though. They love the silliness. ### 2/5 — Mini pictures are not for kids *2025-05-31, version 2.2.2* This game does not have any adjustments to make the time longer for younger kids so they could spend more time trying to describe. You should be able to adjust times which you can’t. Some of the pictures are outdated for even a 40-year-old let alone for kids. This app needs updating/more work. ### 4/5 — Some people don’t know what the things are *2024-04-08, version 2.2.2* Maybe you can label all the pictures so everybody knows what they are ### 1/5 — Pics are cut off and makes it unplayable. *2023-10-10, version 2.2.2* Just purchased this on an iPhone 15 Pro that up to date and the images are cropped where you only see the top portion and makes it unplayable. ### 2/5 — Poor quality images *2022-12-30, version 2.2.2* The images to the free decks are not good. The picture quality is so bad like they were just screen grabbed from Google searches. I was expecting more for a C$7 app from a big company. I’ve used the original Heads Up! app to teach reading and help in language learning and I found it a really useful and fun educational tool. I hope the Build Your Own deck that I’ve purchased won’t disappear like it did on the original app I’ve purchased and used for years. At least with this app, the screen is not YET cluttered with ads for your new decks as the old app has become (please keep it this way). If you’re going to sell us new decks, at least make it easy for us to get to OUR OWN decks. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous charge for what you get! *2022-11-07, version 2.2.2* So very disappointed that I was charged $5 and there are only 4 deck options. $1 each additional deck. I instantly felt like I wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-08-30, version 2.2.2* You only get a few categories then have to pay for each additional pack individually. ### 4/5 — Good game but pricey *2022-08-23, version 2.2.2* I actually love the game but wish we could just buy a pass that would unlock all the versions and add ons. It’s a pain to constantly have kids trying to play new games and having to stop to purchase, etc ### 1/5 — Rip off *2022-07-29, version 2.2.2* This is a PAID app with very few puzzles, you have to pay MORE to unlock more features. ### 2/5 — Has glitches *2022-07-21, version 2.2.2* It often will play the previous video after starting the next round ### 1/5 — $8 only for 5 games *2022-03-07, version 2.2.2* $8 only for 5 games. If you want more games, you have to pay extra. Did they mention it in the description? ### 2/5 — Good game but £5 for 4 decks is pretty expensive *2022-02-23, version 2.2.2* You only 4 decks with the £5 game. Think that’s a bit of a rip off tbh. Extra decks are 89p each. Will prob ask for apple to refund. ### 2/5 — Not great *2022-02-02, version 2.2.2* Some pictures are hard to tell what they are. Not enough categories that aren’t extra. Overall not impressed with the artwork ### 2/5 — Wish I would have read all reviews. *2021-11-27, version 2.2.2* Not happy I paid $5.31 for this app when only a few categories are available. The rest are $0.99 per category. The photos/drawings are also low quality and boring…. Especially if your kids are older than 3 years old. Wish I could get my money back. ### 1/5 — Scam ! *2021-11-14, version 2.2.2* Scam ! I purchased this to play game with grandsons. It’s a simple version and you have to purchase additional decks to go beyond minimal play! Ridiculous, don’t waste your money! ### 1/5 — awful *2021-10-28, version 2.2.2* app is very limited, have to pay to access more content. More intended for us audience ### 1/5 — Limited Games *2021-09-25, version 2.2.2* I paid $5 for 4 categories. Where are the rest of the games? What a waste. I’d rather play the original for free. ### 1/5 — Not great *2021-08-29, version 2.2.2* For $7.99 it’s not worth it. What a waste of money. Only 5 categories to choose from then you have to make more purchases if you want more categories ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $4 for just a few games *2026-01-27, version 2.2.2* I was expecting to have access to all of the games but you are limited to just a few and have to pay additional money for more categories. Not worth it ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for *2026-01-08, version 2.2.2* Doesn’t have enough decks to justify having to pay for it. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-11-16, version 2.2.2* Shocked by how bad this game is!!! Horrible UI, barely works, super easy. Cant believe I paid $5 for this. Requesting a refund. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work *2025-08-21, version 2.2.2* Paid the $5 bucks and it doesn’t work correctly. It gets stuck and won’t proceed to the next photo or gives us ?? After we are trying to move on to the next photo/clue. Also, some of the photos are not good and we can’t even figure out what they are. Do not recommend this game. Want my $ back ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-01-24, version 2.2.2* I downloaded this for our great grand children it started sticking from go. Don’t recommend this at all a waste of £4.99 ### 1/5 — Terrible, expensive, add ons cost extra *2024-09-19, version 2.2.2* By far one of the worst games. I got this for images but it’s difficult for little kids to guess. Add ons cost extra too. Wish I’d read the reviews first ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2024-03-02, version 2.2.2* I’ve never given a game review before , but Warner Brothers should be ashamed of this product. For $5 you get a very buggy poorly designed product with ridiculous cards that a child cannot be expected to know. For instance a 1970s version of a microwave. You only get 5 categories to start but WB wants you to buy more. The Letters deck is only 1 letter (B). The Around Town requires you to upload your own pictures. I don’t mind paying for an app, but this one was a completely disappointing waste. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-02-18, version 2.2.2* Wish I’d read more reviews! I paid for this for grandkids 7.99 thinking they would love it! You get 5 categories then past that you have to buy all other games. Very disappointed very sad for the kids. All about the money!! ### 1/5 — What a load of rubbish *2024-01-05, version 2.2.2* This is the worst game I’ve ever bought. The images are awful and it looks so cheap. There are only five categories and one of them ‘around town’ you have to take your own photos. What an unfunny joke. The fact that is cost £4.99 makes it even worse. I would have been annoyed had I downloaded it for free. ### 1/5 — I feel like I got scammed *2023-12-24, version 2.2.2* Only comes with a few categories, and you have to pay again for more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — They just called it good and quit *2025-07-22, version 2.2.2* The game was awesome and they were adding new material then nothing. They just quit, I guess. So much for that money spent. ### 5/5 — A* *2023-04-28, version 2.2.2* Quality game for the family we ain’t stopped laughing a * ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-08-23, version 2.2.2* This game is good for family’s that need something fun to do ### 5/5 — Soooooo fun *2021-08-13, version 2.2.2* Played the game once and I fell IN LOVE WITH THE GAME so I tested the kids version and I love it that is why I put 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!
