### 2/5 — Fun but App crashi no after each play

*2026-04-25, version 1.6*

Hey yall I enjoyed with my family bc it’s good cards, but the app stopped working after each pack. It also doesn’t shuffle packs fresh. I would click black girl magic and it would have the same people only slightly mixed after back to back plays.

Just need to fix those things and then it would be fun!

### 3/5 — Nice but needs an upgrade

*2025-08-03, version 1.6*

Game only gives you 3 categories and you have to pay for the rest. After each turn, I had to completely close the App and reopen to get back to the categories. Not very fun when you have a to do that every time you switch over to the next person.

### 2/5 — Could’ve been a good game

*2023-10-03*

This game would be so great but it doesn’t have much options and it has so much bugs it froze every time

### 1/5 — Froze up after each game

*2022-11-20, version 1.6*

I’m glad I tested it out before introducing it at a family gathering. I would have been embarrassed! It froze up after playing only one time on the “time’s up” screen and stayed there. Had to cut phone off, download, refresh! I tried everything to get it back to the choices but nothing worked. This happened every time I tested the game. Needs updates bad.

### 1/5 — Yea right

*2021-12-23, version 1.6*

The squad didn’t show up. It doesn’t even work.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-03-08, version 1.6*

Great game for family night.

### 5/5 — T

*2020-06-05, version 1.6*

Mmmmllz
Lcolll

### 5/5 — Five Stars

*2020-02-28, version 1.6*

I’ve been playing this with friends for a couple years now and it’s always a hit at game night. Every version get better and if it happens to freeze I just close it out and reopen.

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2020-02-09, version 1.6*

Every time I place it on my head it would not start 🤦🏽‍♀️

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-12-31, version 1.6*

I downloaded this app and it never worked for me.
