### 3/5 — O

*2024-07-05, version 10.14.2*

It’s ok

### 3/5 — Missing purchased titles

*2023-09-26, version 10.13*

I purchased two categories in the past and they’re not available anymore even when I restore purchases… can you please help?

### 2/5 — Can’t shut it off

*2022-12-30, version 10.11.1*

I just updated after not using for awhile and  could not close the app until I shut off my phone. I love the game but that felt really odd

### 2/5 — Won’t keep score

*2022-12-26, version 10.11.1*

Hard to remember how to say CORRECT as well

### 4/5 — Excellent game

*2021-11-28*

My only gripe is how frustrating it is to start a round of ‘party heads’.
It does not just start when you place it on your forehead. Everyone ends up violently shaking my phone trying to get it to start, but we’ve usually got to close out of the app and restart. Kindve kills the mood . Can’t there just be a manual start button?
We played this for hours at Thanksgiving. So much easier than cards and a lot more fun!

### 3/5 — Introduction video is annoying

*2020-08-29*

This is really a fun app, until you want to change to another category, then the introduction video pop up each time and it gets really annoying. We know how to play, and we get it really....but everytime seeing the video really kills the fun.

**Developer response:** Sorry. This was a bug that happened on first launch. I have fixed this in the most recent version.

### 4/5 — Love the game, not the bug

*2020-08-09*

Game is amazing, has been for years. Last update brought a bug that when you swipe up to change the category the info video plays every time. Every time, super annoying.
Also, a feedback option in game settings would be awesome. Keep up the hard work!

**Developer response:** ;-D thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It makes my day! And glad you appreciate the new iPhone category. I was excited about that one. 
More to come!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2020-04-14*

I’ve had this app for awhile, but it’s really been a great boredom buster during all the shutdowns! It’s simple enough for all ages to use, and has a great variety of topics to choose from. The free version is awesome, but I bought the initial expansion pack for extra categories. I also love that it offers the ability to make your own lists. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fun!!

*2020-04-04, version 10.8.6*

I love that I can play a solo game. Wish the words wouldn’t repeat so often though.

### 5/5 — Great time

*2020-04-03, version 10.8.6*

I am semi-professional at Phrase Party.

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2020-02-03, version 10.7.1*

Developers quick to respond.  Much appreciated.

### 4/5 — Overall improvement

*2020-01-12*

They should give you the ability to limit the number of skips you can do as we usually play with a “one skip rule.” Also it is hard to access the scoreboard in case you give the wrong score or forget to award a point.  Win by two points would be a good option especially in close games. In the heat of the moment it’s hard to remember which direction to swipe- there should be fixed icons on the screen indicating skip vs “got it.”

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I have improved accessibility of the score screen and made the swipe indicator show more often (after each player gets it). 
Will def consider an option for customizing number of skips or win by 2 in the future.

### 5/5 — Great customer service!!

*2019-12-29*

I never expected a response from the developer, nor an instant (nearly) update! Thanks for listening and being diligent. This is our favorite party game and will continue to be!

**Developer response:** Thank you! And thanks for your bug report. Glad I could fix it quickly.

### 1/5 — Why AI?

*2026-08-07*

Why do we need AI art on the cover of categories? Completely unnecessary

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Are you referring to custom categories created through the new pack builder? I can make that optional if you think it should be. I figured it was better to have an image representation that just a letter or emoji on the card. But if you think it’s distracting I can update it? Email me at support@ipartymobile.com if you’d like to discuss. Hard to get actionable feedback and discuss ideas in App Store reviews. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Abuses push notifications

*2022-05-21, version 10.10.16*

Will send arbitrary advertising messages if you let it have push notifications.

### 1/5 — $1 and the first thing the app did was ask me for a subscription

*2021-05-15, version 10.10.5*

Just get the lite version

### 1/5 — Nope

*2020-11-29, version 10.9.18*

Party Heads mode doesn’t do anything. Screen just shows “Place on forehead”. Game doesn’t ever start. Running on an 2017 iPad Pro. Delete.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2020-02-29*

I bought your app bcuz I love this game, however it’s decided to stop working, not able to play party heads- it just says place on forehead and then freezes. Please fix this ASAP.

**Developer response:** This was fixed within 12 hours in version 10.7.8 now available. 
If you still have issues please contact me at support@ipartymobile.com and consider revising your review

### 1/5 — Disappointed after purchasing

*2020-02-01, version 10.7*

1.99$ i thought i was buying the entire product but within the app is added subscription cost for the full version of the game

### 1/5 — Rating

*2019-12-31, version 10.5.2*

Game asks me to rate it DURING the game

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-12-29, version 10.5.1*

Doesn’t work crashes after end of round content is stupid or unguessable not a catch phrase competitor

### 1/5 — Bad Clone

*2019-11-25, version 10.2.1*

Bad clone of Heads Up with atrocious in app purchases after the initial purchase. Wish I could get a refund.

### 1/5 — Latest update is terrible

*2019-11-14*

The latest version has several foundational flaws.. such as, no back button in the menu,  can no longer pause your game, it no longer has the normal catch phrase game version, you can’t see how many you got correct. The user experience is just poor..the prior version was a bit dated but it’s core functionalities worked. Won’t be playing until there’s a fix.

**Developer response:** Sorry that you don’t enjoy the new version. Ive maintained all functionality from the prior versions. 
You can pause a game by swiping up. 
What do you mean “can’t see how many you got right”? The scoreboard displays automatically between rounds and can be displayed by swiping down from the play screen. 
Please email me at support@ipartymobile.com so I can make sure I address your concerns.

### 5/5 — Ow this is great! Ai is bad tho. Taking my job

*2025-07-03, version 11.1*

Oof

### 5/5 — Excellent game for language practice

*2025-05-23*

I’m an English teacher in Japan and I’ve been using this game for years with my students. I make custom lists from English textbooks and play Phrase Party with my students as a warm up before every lesson. They love it and it’s great language practice for them.

I requested the “Recycle Empty Categories” feature that was implemented in v11.1 and it works perfectly for my needs. Thank you to the developer for this excellent game and his timely response to my request.

### 5/5 — Awesome! Fam waiting for update.

*2023-12-31*

Great game. I’d buy the other categories if it was just a one time purchase and not a subscription. Other than that my fam likes it and eagerly for an update bc we’ve seen all the words bc we’ve played it so much.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-07-22, version 10.10.18*

### 5/5 — Beat game ever

*2022-02-19, version 10.10.15*

I am an amateur board game reviewer, have played thousands of games, and this is the one that I spend the most time on of all of them. It’s just the best.

### 5/5 — Awesome cool game

*2021-07-08*

This is a really cool charades games with different types and categories too but the name on Hint Sprint I think it should be called Clue Sprint because one person giving out the clues hint sprint didn’t sound right to me when I saw it y’all should think about it and see if that fits it overall it’s a awesome charades app game most definitely for sure 👍🏽👍🏽
