User reviews

I want to like it.

But there’s just too many lame “Start Player” prompts. The “whoever can name the most ___” are annoying and confusing. The worst one was “whoever is carrying the most physical cash”.

There has to be a better app than this.

Crashed on iOS 13

Doesn’t even start ☹️☹️☹️

Crashes

Doesn't open anymore.. Flashes start screen and shuts down. Unusable.

Useless piece of App

I am sad to review this title as 1-Star. It should be Zero (0), as I had an immediate need when I bought it. #wasteofmoney #failedtolaunch #crashtohomescreen #iPhone4s #iOS7.0.3

Broken in iOS 8.1. Works with 8.4

The latest version won't display on an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1. Updating to iOS 8.4 resolves the issue.

It does not "crash" as the app, with odd new/bad font size is displayed in the multi task view. However trying to access the app does not work and the app "crashes" back to the main iPhone screen.
