The only drawback was that there was no list to click the name of a phobia, so you just had to keep pressing the next button and it continues to give you a random phobia. One feature that I liked was that if you find the phobia you were looking for, you can add it to favorites to view it whenever you want-without having to wait to randomly stumble upon it later. Overall a great app, easy to use, and very useful. I wouldn't buy the upgrade to avoid the ads; because the ads are just a small bar at the bottom. I hope this app is as useful to you as it has been for me. It is by far the best phobia app I've used. I would not recommend getting the app "Phobias Free". ### 4/5 — Nice! *2012-02-22, version 1.3* It's pretty cool. There's some strange fears out there. Interesting. I was looking for chronophobia for some reason, and I found it. I'm happy now. :D ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2011-12-01, version 1.3* It has its funny molments and its imiture molments and stupid molments but its pretty good for when your bored or waiting in line or waiting for your food just something to do its 4 stars not awsome but not bad just better that good ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2010-02-06, version 0* I LVE this app its helped me sooooooooooooooooo much ### 5/5 — hahaa :) *2010-01-17, version 0* very good :') there are some strange phobias but overall good :D ### 4/5 — Interesting *2010-01-03, version 0* It was informational/ funny/ free all at the same time. ### 5/5 — very informational *2009-08-28, version 0* a good start. they should add lists and chapters to make it better ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2013-07-19, version 2.1* This app is down right awfull. There is no list and you can't search. It's just guess the phobia and it is very slow ### 1/5 — Dumb( good thing it's free) *2010-07-24, version 0* The controls are jank (fix it and il give it 5 stars) >:p ### 1/5 — Wow *2009-10-17, version 0* This app is fake. One of the phobias was fear of long words i passed it three times and each time the word for fear of long words was completely different ### 2/5 — Phobias *2013-02-18, version 2.1* I want more detail This is just Guess the phobia ### 2/5 — ??? *2011-12-14, version 1.3* I didn't really get it. Hard to use. ### 3/5 — Get rid of this phobia *2022-01-13, version 2.4.5* Why is Homophobia on the app? Homophobia is not a phobia, it’s just being hateful. Please get rid of it. Phobias are when fears become intense/ impact your day to day life. That is not what homophobia is. It’s literally just common sense. Other than that, I’d say it’s a decent app. ### 3/5 — Oh look, three s!!! *2010-07-19, version 0* (I have s; yu don't...ha-ha-ha!!!) They don't have lists, but they should be! They should have lists you can browse and find words yer lookin' fer... Hah, my comments better than yours! Duh, 'This app good, by gude app, app help you find way in life.' What life???? Less 9/10 of you imbeciles have either never heard of or never use periods. All you do is, is that you put a comma after every other word. News Flash!!!: They, make, your, sentences, sound, choppy, and, then, it, is, not, legible... Or have you never heard of legible? How about a dictionary, so that you can look up legible? Or are you too lazy to look anything up, as you are with the commas and periods? Well that doesn't matter, cause I am home-shooled and you are public schooled, and I form far better sentences than your diminutive assheads ever could. Me:  You:  Us:  So use from now on grmr whn u write and b thoughtful in how u form ur sentences. (omg! marcie finaly txted me back. now I can txt hr back. #%&@! ### 3/5 — Umm.. *2010-03-08, version 0* Make it more organized, I wanted to know a phobia, but had to flip through God knows how many phobia pages to find it ### 3/5 — Umm well odd but cool *2010-01-06, version 0* Ok some of these phobias are fake and False but some are actully real so double check before you believe all this stuff. It's free so why not get it . ### 4/5 — good enough *2016-02-03, version 2.2.5* this app is good and it teaches you what you want. what would be good is a quiz section where thry could quiz you over the phobias and stuff. Another thing is the ads... there's quite some ads about every minute. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — E *2023-03-05, version 2.4.5* E ### 5/5 — Really great !!!!!! *2017-05-17, version 2.2.5* This app is amazing . I find it so interesting to look at all the different phobias ! It has no glitches that I have observed!!!! ### 5/5 — Hey *2016-06-26, version 2.2.5* Interesting. Use it a lot. A list would be cool but I still like it so. Yah. ### 5/5 — Funny!!!! *2013-12-26, version 2.1* For the fear of long words....... Oh, the irony ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2013-06-05* This app is so cool! It lets you know all the know all the phobias and lets you see the name of the phobia first which I think is good. Also, when you like the phobia you can do let's of this with it like: SMS it or email. That's good too. Thanks for making an awesome Phobia app!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — SUPER APP!!!!! *2012-12-16, version 2.1* I LOVE THIS!!!! :,) super!!! 5* app! Woot! Buying more of ur apps!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Good *2012-07-06, version 2.0* Very nice and informational app ### 5/5 — Haha  *2011-07-17, version 1.1* Most of these make me laugh soo much and i can read them with no internet luv thhis i recomend it ### 5/5 — Pretty Interesting! *2010-05-05, version 0* This was a very interesting and easy to use app. I liked how some phobias they gave more than one word for what it is. Such as Cheimatophobia, Frigophobia, Psychophobia, and Cheimaphobia are all for the fear of the cold. ### 5/5 — Phobias 500 *2010-03-25, version 0* Fun app as well as educational. Learned of phobias I nerver knew existed or that had a name. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
