### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-05-15*

It’s a really fun game to play with friends but it’s really laggy.

### 1/5 — Broken App

*2026-05-10*

Left the app open to try to start playing my partner, waited over 5 minutes for it to just stay on the white screen with the little scribble and not do anything. Deleted and redownloaded the app to try again, same issue. not sure what is wrong but very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Adds and lag

*2026-03-09*

### 4/5 — Categories

### 5/5 — BEST DRAWING GAME EVER

*2026-01-27*

OMG this is the best drawing game I can play with my cousins my mom my dad and even my siblings I mean I was so looking forward to a game like this where you have to guess the picture and for 4+ or 9+ because I have restrictions and this game barely has any adds I totally recommend getting this game 5 stars! BEST GAME EVER

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-01-11*

The ads are completely not needed!! Way to many!! Makes me want to delete game!! Absolutely horrible!!

### 5/5 — Tara

*2026-01-04, version 1.3.1*

Good. Game

### 5/5 — Moonlight

*2025-03-26*

This app is amazing except we have to wait along time to wait for other people to join my session and we can’t choose to join a random session and we have to enter a name

### 1/5 — Don’t Pay

*2024-12-22*

I paid 5 dollars to make my own category and proceeded to put in 100 words and it just doesn’t work. There’s no option to save and when I press back, I’m in a loading loop that won’t end. I have to exit the app to go back in. When I press on my category it tells my I need at least 10 words for a session. I have 100 but it won’t save.

### 3/5 — Great to see a Pictionary game with private multiplayer

*2024-12-06*

This game reminds me of the old Draw Hero game which our family loved. Several issues though, we hope these can be worked through.  

1–some players had unlimited skipping of words
2-those on phones saw a distorted version of what those on iPads were drawing
3-longer words and phrases were actually cut off by the green box!
4-ads are awful, happy to pay to eliminate them
