Like I just noticed that one of the players is calling himself or herself "Penis". I thought this game would have been rated G, so that even little children could play it, with no hint of adult exclusive content used in this game. ### 4/5 — Hangman *2013-01-06, version 2.1* The very best! Similar to Wheel of Fortune. Many categories to pick from...like TV shows. Once one starts playing, it's much too hard to stop, and you use your brain as well!. The best part is you get a score for each letter that is correct - plus you try to beat the star player. :) The only problem is the occasionally "doh" you'll get if Hangman can't connect which leaves you with no score. :( But all in all...it's Lots of fun. Hali ### 4/5 — Brian *2012-12-05, version 2.1* Very good ### 2/5 — Sexy women ads on a kids game!! *2012-11-30, version 2.1* I understand needing to put ads on an app., what I don't get is putting ones for dating or click here for sexy women on a kids app!!! Seriously! I don't need my seven year old seeing that when we're playing a game! Ads away but consider the type of app. you have before allowing the ads! ### 2/5 — Hangman *2012-11-27, version 2.1* It was better before the upgrade that made it shut down after each game!!! Fix it. ### 3/5 — Closes out *2012-11-02, version 2.1* I like this app but every time I get it right it closes out also the spaces is to close ### 4/5 — Excellent hangman app *2012-10-29, version 2.1* This is a very fun app which I play almost daily. Wish that I could play app by turning phone sideways. ### 4/5 — Hangman *2012-10-21, version 2.1* Great game.....lines are to close together though so it makes it difficult to see how many words ### 4/5 — Rocky60 *2012-10-20, version 2.1* Very good when working but still too many crashes in middle of games. Freezes,restarts in middle of game and asks for more coins you have used to start next game. Please get it sorted as I like playing the game,just frustrating with the stopping and freezing when trying to move on to next game you have to delete the whole thing and then re-download. Thanks ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2012-10-19, version 2.1* The spacing of words is too close. Hard to read. The program closes for no reason. I have not heard of many of the words. I got this app as a kids hangman. After all this, it is not worth it. ### 4/5 — Ms *2012-10-16, version 2.1* It's addictive and fun ### 4/5 — Addictive *2012-10-06, version 2.1* Very addictive, but could do with a UK version ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ad-free version???? *2019-10-03, version 4.0* Won’t allow me to get the ad-free version. Says not available in my location??? 😡 ### 1/5 — Such a shame *2016-01-05, version 3.0* Used to be such a great app, unable to play now due to the sheer quantity of adverts, hence the 1 star ### 1/5 — ruined *2015-06-03, version 3.0* used to be great, now unplayable due to highly intrusive ads ### 1/5 — Please update *2013-04-30, version 2.1* I cant play it any more the game crashes and i wanna play it so bad ### 1/5 — This game *2013-01-23, version 2.1* This game sucked ### 1/5 — No!!! *2013-01-15, version 2.1* I hate it every time I put in the very last letter (and it's the right letter) it always cut off ### 1/5 — What the heck? *2012-12-01, version 2.1* I WAS REALLY LOOKING FOWARD TO THIS GAME AND I TRIED TO COME ON BUT MAN!

I'm done with it ### 1/5 — 👎 *2012-08-16, version 2.1* I know you see this app and think "oh, I think I'm gonna like this" because that was me and I was just playing right now and ads started popping up and it gets annoying! Every time you finish a game an ad will pop up and you also may not be able to get out of it so don't waste ur time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2013-05-24, version 2.1* Love the game and the cool designs it makes when you win! ### 5/5 — Paper Hangman *2013-05-22, version 2.1* Great fun, nicely formatted, good brain excersizes. ### 5/5 — Works for me! *2013-03-18, version 2.1* No crashing or ads (yet?).

Id like to see even more categories but i really like this game!! ### 5/5 — Hang man review *2012-11-20, version 2.1* I think this game is really fun and its really good at picking the things you have to guess for the subjects. ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2012-09-12, version 2.1* It keeps the mind sharp & is a nice way to kill time when waiting.
