Good but to get the whole experience, you need to pay for pro

not that great

i was looking for an app to replace the ‘catchphrase 18+’ game that me and my friends like to play. but this game you have to pay for everything and the prompts aren’t fun. i guess could be fun if you’re playing w old ppl or kids.

Fun front porch game

My husband and I love sitting on our front porch and adding this game to our routine has made it so much more fun. It’s fun to play anywhere and everywhere, we especially love it when our friends stop by to play it with us. Thanks for creating such a fun app!

Lots to do

Game play changes keeping it fresh ….great game !

Great app!

I really love this app! The gameplay is great, and works excellently. There are a few minor bugs/cosmetic issues on some of the different menus. But the actual gameplay is seamless. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun game to play with family/friends!
