Way to many!! Makes me want to delete game!! Absolutely horrible!! ### 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 ### 2/5 — :( *2024-01-29* Why when I play with my partner does it only allow one of us to draw once and another one draws for 3 turns ### 3/5 — Nice game some improvements *2023-10-25* Great game to play against friends but I wish there was an option to just play online with random people. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. We will be working on this in a future update. At the moment just gather a couple of your friends and have a good time playing pictureIt. ### 3/5 — Frustrated *2023-08-04* The game is great and works well until I write another category. I paid the "one time fee", wrote the first category and it freezes ever since. So disappointed. I hope you can fix. It has the potential to be a family game. ### 3/5 — Bummer *2022-12-25* Playing the game itself was fun, however when I tried to create new games and sessions I was unable to invite users as easily as the first time, or it would push me out of the drawing role and put me as a player, preventing us from moving forward with the game session. It was a bummer for sure. ### 4/5 — I would love an option to turn off time limit *2022-12-23* Good game, very simple to use and fun. Would give 5 stars if it had an option to remove the time limit from the game rounds. Looking for a relaxing game to play with my wife, and we love drawing and guessing, but the time limit makes it stressful. ### 4/5 — Would be perfect if there’s an ad-free option *2022-09-08* It’s generally a very good game except for the ads in between some of which are programmed to be permanent and impossible to get out. Had to remove the app and download again a few times in the middle of a game. It’s understandable that ads appear once in a while but it would be more helpful if there’s a way to skip ads after a few seconds or remove ads by paying a reasonable fee. ### 4/5 — New player *2021-08-04* It appears that players must be online to participate. That’s fun when you can make it happen. (It’s kinda like herding cats.🙂) It would be great if there were one on one matches that did not require both players to be online at the same time. ### 3/5 — Logo version bugged *2021-06-01* I was playing the logo version with my wife and we found out the game wouldn’t register punctuation. It would register any word with an apostrophe even if it was spelled correctly. Other than that it’s a great game. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. The team will work on fixing this. ### 3/5 — Good but... *2021-01-22, version 1.0.7* This app is straight forward and easy to use. It works remotely so you can play with family or friends elsewhere, which is what I was looking for. However there are two or three improvements that would turn it 5* for me. Firstly, it would be nice to be able to mix all the categories together. Secondly, an option to change the time limit as some words are tricky in 60 seconds on a phone screen. Thirdly, maybe a young children's category that could be picked in game as you are playing if only one/some players need it? Or a skip word if they don’t know what their word means? (I realise no. 3 is a bit more complicated, and even without it it is good). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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* This mad laggy and makes u watch adds after every round😭🙏 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Takes your money! *2023-11-29, version 1.3.1* Awful takes your money and won’t let you add a category ### 1/5 — Doesn’t make sense *2023-10-10* No point of direction & no explanation for how to send a drawing to another player or how to see the other players’ drawing. Times out quick. Then says “player not ready” with no explanation of how to confirm your readiness. Just frustrating. ### 1/5 — Start *2023-08-24, version 1.3.1* I see no option to start a game only to join? ### 1/5 — “One Time Charge” is Repeated for Every new category *2023-08-07* I would have rated this higher, but after paying a “one time charge” of $6.99 to be able to create my own categories, when I tried to create a second new category, a message popped up asking for another $6.99! “One Time Charge” means once, not over and over! If this is a bug it needs to be fixed! If this is by design, the wording needs to clearly state that the $6.99 is only to create one new category. Otherwise it is false advertising! Please fix this. ### 1/5 — This game is butt hole *2021-12-21, version 1.1.2* it’s riggged remove the flags ### 1/5 — Ends too quick *2021-02-06, version 1.0.8* Games end too quickly before the assorted number of rounds ### 1/5 — Great App! *2020-12-30* I Was Fooling Around With This App Thinking It Would Not Work. I WAS SUPRISED! I Have Had A Great Time Playing With Friends and Family! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Developer response:** Thank you, we're glad you're enjoying the app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2023-06-08* A way to remove ads. ### 5/5 — SOOOOOO FUN *2021-12-26* So I got my family to donload this app and we have so much fun making each other laugh and sometimes we will cheat and it is soooo funny ### 5/5 — The best appp *2021-05-29, version 1.1.2* Best apppp ever so cooooooooooool ### 5/5 — Excellent for lighthearted long distance game with family *2021-02-19, version 1.1.0* After recent updates this game is even more fun than it already was. My kids play with their cousins at the other end of the country and I love that it is now possible to set up your own categories, skip words and extend the time limit. Great work game developer!! ### 5/5 — Sick af *2021-01-21, version 1.0.7* Oi yo I’m not a bot nut this game flames ### 5/5 — Fun! *2021-01-07* An entertaining game to play with friends.
