Useless app! ### 1/5 — Nice idea just doesn’t work *2020-04-17, version 1.2* Doesn’t pick up any voices and therefore simply doesn’t work rendering the game utterly useless. (Using iPhone) ### 1/5 — Very bad *2020-04-15, version 1.1* At first, it was good but then it didn’t pick up any of the words I said. It was very frustrating and the drawings are terrible. They should tell us the answer of the drawing if no one can get it at the end and no one should get a point. Overall, it was the worst game in the world but they had a very good game idea. If they fixed lots of things then it MIGHT be decent. Sadly, I will not recommend this to anyone. I wish that I could give it zero stars. I apologise if I am being rude but I like to give my honest opinion. ### 1/5 — Crash *2020-04-12, version 1.0* Couldn’t complete one game local without it crashing constantly. Voice recognition is poor for example duck came out as dark. Needs a lot of work ### 1/5 — Good idea, terrible execution. *2020-04-11, version 1.0* Voice recognition does not work on my iPad Air 2 (IOS 13.3.1), and when the time runs out for the first picture, the game does not move on to the next picture, forcing me to quit. Obviously not tested anywhere near enough for general release (or even beta)! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-04-11, version 1.0* Voice recognition never works. Not even once! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load crashes *2020-04-11, version 1.0* As above, can’t even get to run the game and I have a new phone with latest iOS. Crashed when I click create profile or new game ### 2/5 — Looks great fun but can’t use it *2020-04-19, version 1.2* It doesn’t hear our guesses. We have tried everything and it still isn’t picking up our voices. Also, the lowest volume setting is still really very loud. Given this two stars instead of one, even though it doesn’t work, because I can see that the premise is a good one! Yes, I’m pressing the buzzer before giving an answer! ### 3/5 — Good family fun, but limited picture set *2020-05-18, version 1.2* Adults and children will enjoy this, but after a short while the picture set becomes all too familiar. Developers need to expand the picture stimuli as you start to recycle the same pictures too early in game play. ### 3/5 — A glitch *2020-04-11, version 1.0* I’d give it more stars and will rate again if bug is fixed. The game gets stuck if nobody gets the correct answer. I guess this isn’t supposed to happen so I have to quit out the game and restart. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good fun *2021-01-10, version 1.2* Had a good laugh playing this with friends ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2020-08-17, version 1.2* Just wanted to leave a positive review to help even out the average rating. Most bad reviews scored low because the speech recognition didn’t work their end. I have an iPhone SE 2020, and it works every time. The game is fun and can’t wait to play it after a couple drinks with some friends. I miss the good old days where apps were 99p and didn’t require you to sign up to a subscription agreement in blood, or pay through the teeth for “gems” to progress. I’d highly recommend this game, because it’s fun, functional and cheap. ### 5/5 — Really Enjoyable 😃 *2020-04-21, version 1.2* Me and my family play it all the time ### 5/5 — Clever twist *2020-04-15, version 1.1* This is like Pictionary but better because even if you can’t draw you can still play 🤗😻😛 ### 5/5 — Great game!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2020-04-15, version 1.1* This is fun. My kids play it all the time 😊 ### 4/5 — Good but.. *2023-05-19, version 1.4* Online function doesn’t work which is a shame , good fun game other than that ### 4/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2020-05-02* App doesn’t pick up what I say even when speaking right into the mic. **Developer response:** Hi, we’d love to help you fix this. Are you pressing a Buzzer before answering? And make sure you gave permissions for the microphone. Feel free to email us for support: shoutabout@lumen-digital.com ### 4/5 — Mr N *2020-04-14, version 1.0* Thus is great fun.... especially good considering the amount of to e we’re spending indoors with the kids at the moment!... simple but effective. ### 4/5 — very fun! *2020-04-09, version 1.0* this is actually a good game! the drawings are not really realistic which is hard to guess but makes the game interesting and thrilling! however does need a tiny bit of work and improvements, it doesn’t pick up the words you say, even you say it clearly. An improvement would be adding the correct word when timer runs out and no one gets it, then we will know what the picture was! Overall, quite a good game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
