### 4/5 — Great and intuitive

*2026-08-16*

The sound was kind of annoying and I wish I could tap on the state on the map to fill it but other than that it’s great, absolutely phenomenal

### 5/5 — great

*2025-12-30, version 2.6.1*

great

### 5/5 — Charlotte

*2025-11-10, version 2.6.1*

I’m a kid and I love this game. You guys should check it out. We love you whoever made this. Thanks so much.

### 1/5 — Fake In-App Purchase

*2025-09-21, version 2.6.1*

Purchased the 99¢ vanity pack add-on but the app never shows it or allows you to see or use anything other than the regular plate design. Do NOT fall for it and spend the money.

### 1/5 — Won’t open.

*2025-08-25, version 2.6.1*

I got this app because my daughter has it and loves it. However when I open app, it asks what state, then click play.  It exits out of app altogether.  I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling and rebooted my phone.  It still doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — Constant ads

*2025-07-11, version 2.6.1*

I love the app but an ad screen pops up every ten seconds or so. Watching the ad completely or trying to x out of it does nothing to stop this.

### 4/5 — App closes when I click play after selecting my state.

*2025-04-21, version 2.6.1*

Cannot use app. Help please.

### 2/5 — Used to be the Best

*2024-11-27, version 2.6.1*

I used to love using this game on roadtrips but now it just crashes every time I try to start a new game

### 5/5 — Pretty fun

*2024-07-03, version 2.6.1*

Cool

### 5/5 — So fun, which it were a little more complex

*2024-03-08*

Downloaded this for a 20 hour road trip to keep track of plates we saw. Loved the sound effects and the word puzzles. The fun facts were a nice addition too! Wish there were more facts or games and a way to log Canadian provinces. It would be super cool if you could save your game as a certain trip but great app overall!
