### 1/5 — Boooo

*2026-08-10*

It is for money when you download

### 3/5 — Free

*2026-01-16, version 4.27.0*

I wish it was free!

### 3/5 — Fun game but way overpriced

*2025-10-05*

I’ve been playing this game with my family for years, it’s a lot of fun. It used to be free which was great then they had a low one time fee. Now they want to charge 4.99 a week? That’s ridiculous.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sticking with us all these years — it means a lot! We hear your concerns about the weekly price. For longtime fans, our $25/year plan works out to about $2/month and unlocks everything. We hope you'll give it a look! Any questions, we're at mail@redapemobile.com.

### 4/5 — Disappointed but understanding

*2025-04-01*

I paid for the ad removal a while ago and have enjoyed playing this with my wife for many years. I opened the app today only to find out it’s now $4.99/week and apparently my previous payment meant nothing. Hope this can be resolved!

Update: the developer contacted me and helped find a temporary solution. Still don’t like the subscription model (especially $4.99/week, that’s steep) for this type of app but can understand that’s where most services are going now days. My wife and I play quite often and have enjoyed the app for years!.

**Developer response:** Thank you for updating your review and for your patience — it really means a lot. We know the switch to subscriptions wasn't easy for everyone, especially loyal players like you who supported the app early on. We're glad we could help, and we hope you and your wife keep enjoying your game nights with Off Limits! If there's ever anything else we can do for you, reach out at mail@redapemobile.com. 🎉

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2025-04-01*

This game is an absolute blast! Perfect for game nights with friends and family. The word challenges keep everyone engaged and laughing. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** This made our day — thank you! 🎉 Comments like yours are exactly why we keep building. We hope you and your crew keep enjoying game night with Off Limits! Any suggestions, reach out anytime at mail@redapemobile.com.

### 1/5 — $5 dollars per month!?

*2025-03-23*

Seriously, who need another monthly subscription?? If the game was good, I’d be willing to pay up to twenty dollars once for the game, but since it is subscription only, you get nothing! Already deleted it without even playing one game.

**Developer response:** We hear you on subscription fatigue — it's real! Our $25/year plan works out to about $2/month and is our best value — much closer to that one-time feel. Hope you'll give us another shot! If you have more feedback on how we can improve, we're always listening at mail@redapemobile.com.

### 3/5 — Lisez la description avant de télécharger

*2024-12-21*

Une application qui limite son utilisation à seulement 20 mots avant d’imposer un abonnement pour continuer à jouer, c’est tout simplement abusé. Ils auraient dû l’annoncer clairement dès le départ, plutôt que de miser sur la gratuité pour augmenter les téléchargements et attirer un maximum de personnes, juste pour les pousser à payer ensuite.

Edit : le développer de l’application m’a répondu en m’affirmant qu’il allait faire en sorte d’être plus transparent concernant l’abonnement. 

Edit 2 : Merci d’avoir pris le temps de me répondre.

**Developer response:** Merci de votre patience et d'avoir mis à jour votre avis ! Nous nous efforçons d'être toujours plus clairs sur notre modèle d'abonnement. Si vous avez d'autres suggestions ou questions, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à mail@redapemobile.com.

### 1/5 — Wants subscription

*2024-11-12*

Terrible

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your experience with the app. While the subscription helps us create and maintain high-quality content, we understand it might not be for everyone.

We appreciate your input and are always looking for ways to improve. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see or suggest, we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for trying our app, and we hope to improve your experience in the future!

### 3/5 — Rapidité !!

*2024-08-16*

J’ai l’impression que ça va un peu vite!!

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour ! Le chronomètre est là pour pimenter le défi et créer cette ambiance de jeu effrénée ! 😄 Nous restons à votre écoute pour toute suggestion à mail@redapemobile.com.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2024-07-21*

I wish you could play by yourself but It’s still fun and I love it

**Developer response:** So glad you love the game! While it's designed for groups, solo play is a fun idea we'll keep in mind for the future. In the meantime, the various game modes are great for even small gatherings. Any other ideas? Drop us a line at mail@redapemobile.com! 🎉
