### 4/5 — I miss you Gloom

*2023-03-18, version 2.00*

As many of you may know Gloom stopped posting videos a year ago due to personal issues. I personally love her channel and wish she was still making videos although I wish her the best in whatever she is doing now. Anyway, I still watch her videos on YouTube and I came across one where she played mimics with Terry (Terry is amazing, I’m so glad they are getting married) it was very funny and good. I got the app and I really like it although I can’t find the online version which I would like to use sometimes when everyone else is busy. It’s a fun app though and I’d really recommend it to people age 7+.

### 4/5 — It is ok

*2022-05-05, version 2.00*

I think it is ok but like Palm tree one I got my brother cod not guess it so you soundDownload it.

### 2/5 — My internet?

*2022-03-04*

So i found this game on the app store, thinking it looked fun. I download it, i click “Online” because i didn’t have anyone to play with. I agree with the terms and service, and when i get to the , i put in my nickname and click “sign up”. It says i have bad internet, when all the other apps on my phone work and my internet is actually fine when i check. I just want to play the game, but it dosent let me. Can you guys fix this for everyone because this isn’t the first complaint i’ve seen with this problem. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Super Weird

*2020-09-11*

My daughter & I were having a great time playing this game until an animated picture of a lady with exposed nipples popped up. I screenshot the picture for proof. It went unnoticed until the end of the game but I found this SUPER weird & inappropriate

### 4/5 — Great game!

### 1/5 — You can’t see around the ads

*2023-03-17, version 2.00*

Sometimes a round is impossible because the ad is displaying over one of the face options and you can’t see it clearly. You need to move the position of the ads so it isn’t covering the game, put it on the top or something.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work. would give 0 stars if possible.

*2022-02-02*

i have a really hard time believing this game has won any awards when it doesn’t even work. it was even in one of the app stores featured games slides. it looked fun so i downloaded it without even looking at the reviews, only to find that it wouldn’t work. went back to read reviews and saw people have been having the same issues im having over the last three years. don’t waste your time or excitement over this game because it’s pointless and doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2022-01-24*

When I press the online button, it says that I have no internet when I clearly do. I feel as if the developers did this purposely to temporarily resolve the fact that people put up unsettling photos.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2021-10-21*

The advertising and idea is awesome, but much like many other people I can’t even seem to play due to the fact the game asks me to create an account and suggests that I have no internet connection to play. It doesn’t matter day or night, home or out, on Wi-Fi or not this app doesn’t work. Sadly. The app should not be released if it’s unusable, hopefully it’s fixed sometime, because I read reviews from 2 years ago saying the same thing.

### 1/5 — What

*2020-11-22, version 1.75*

I’m trying to put in a nick name I do that and there’s no button to go off the keyboard

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-04-06, version 1.75*

Crashes 6 times before I can even play it . Sucky

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads

*2019-11-15, version 1.75*

There are to much ads like almost after every 2 “mimics” there an ad

### 1/5 — Don’t get it!

*2019-07-25, version 1.75*

I opened it to play and I say a picture of a naked guy peeing!

### 1/5 — Rude

*2019-07-20, version 1.75*

Your letting people show there penis to little kids

### 1/5 — SOMEONE NEEDS TO SEND HELP

*2019-06-30, version 1.7*

I thought it was an alright game but then (this isn’t the game’s fault but someone needs to address the developers or have someone look at the photos before the person sees it) I saw a d*** in the photo so someone needs to make sure this doesn’t scar a child for life.

### 5/5 — Good!

*2022-05-26*

I have nothing bad to say about this other than that it won’t let player 2 go sometimes and it randomly stops the game after player 1 went. Please fix that.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2022-05-01, version 2.00*

Muy divertida en familia

### 5/5 — Love

*2022-03-20*

Perfect for when you’re bored with friends, I love playing it in the car!

### 5/5 — AWSOME!!!!!

*2020-12-06*

The thing is that I think it would be a little hard to understand if they are new.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I expected and more

*2020-11-12*

I would rate a four but I BELIVE that would be quite harsh only would rate that because of bad connection.

### 5/5 — Wow just wow

*2020-05-12, version 1.75*

This is the best..... poooooopady scooooop poop poop poop poop

### 5/5 — very entertaining!

*2020-04-25, version 1.75*

i play this with my 6 year old brother who has the attention span of about 4 seconds, and this game keeps him occupied for an hour at least! it’s great fun for all ages, a fantastic and original idea for a game. definitely download!

### 5/5 — Add more faces or ability to add your own

*2020-04-23*

Please add the ability to add your own faces. After playing just a few times you see the same ones repeated. Other than that, this game is super fun!

### 5/5 — Funny and entertaining

*2020-04-10, version 1.75*

This game you can play on your own or with any amount of people!!
It is VERY funny

### 5/5 — Mimics

*2020-03-04, version 1.75*
