### 3/5 — Das erste Spiel

*2026-04-03*

Zu wenig Karten im ersten Kauf

### 3/5 — Déçu

*2026-01-09*

Le jeu plante beaucoup c’est fatiguant. Ont ne peu pas acheter un jeu + des cartes et que le jeux beug autant. Il faut trouver une solution.

### 2/5 — Expensive for nothing

*2025-12-18, version 1.0.22*

I paid to start the basic version we were 3 constantly shows 4 and same questions again and again there should be a trial period because it's tricky to pay for that and loose money. Not fair sorry

### 3/5 — Not many cards

*2025-12-03, version 1.0.21*

There should be more cards…

### 2/5 — Kiepsko

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.19*

Powtarzają się hasła..

### 4/5 — Eigentlich cooles Ding

*2025-09-23*

Warum eigentlich?! In langheitlich Spaß zu haben, musst du Pakete kaufen, welche meiner Meinung nach zu Teuer sind!

### 1/5 — Zu wenig Wörter

*2025-09-12, version 1.0.19*

Wir konnten zu dritt zwei Runden spielen und in der dritten Runde waren schon nur noch doppelte Wörter. Ziemlich dreist, dass man nur so wenig Inhalt für das Geld bekommt.

### 1/5 — Kelime kartları çok az

*2025-09-08, version 1.0.19*

Kelime kartları o kadar az ki üçüncü oynayışımızda kartlar tekrara düştü yapay zekadan destek alarak bile geliştirebilirsiniz. Oyun içi iyi ama çoook az

### 1/5 — Çok üzücü

*2025-09-08, version 1.0.19*

Kelimeler çok çabuk bitti resmen dolandırıcılık bu

### 1/5 — Si pagano altri mazzi

*2025-08-22, version 1.0.19*

Ce n’è uno solo di mazzo

### 1/5 — Pochissime carte per mazzo

*2025-08-19, version 1.0.19*

Bello, ma non si riesce a finire una partita per la continua ripetizione delle carte

### 1/5 — Extrakosten

*2025-08-17*

2€ nur für 100 Karten im Basispaket.. Karten wiederholen sich ständig.. pro 50 weitere Karten 1€

### 1/5 — Enttäuschend

*2025-08-11, version 1.0.19*

Die sehr begrenzte Zahl an Begriffen ist auch für 1,99€ kein Schnäppchen. Keine Empfehlung.

### 2/5 — Enttäuschend

*2025-07-29*

Die App schafft es tatsächlich sich manchmal bei den Punkten zu verzählen.

Was noch ärgerlicher ist, ist jedoch die Tatsache, dass man für die 2€ für die App keine 50 Wörter erhält.

Bereits nach weniger als einer halben Stunde Spielzeit wiederholen sich die Wörter schon alle. 

Das man natürlich mit weiteren Packs was verdienen will ist verständlich.

Aber wenn ich ihr das Grundspiel kaufe, erwarte ich, dass nicht alles darauf ausgelegt ist nur sofort weitere Packs mit WÖRTERN zu kaufen!

Das ist einfach nur dreist und in meinen Augen so inakzeptabel, dass ich für ein an sich schönes Spiel nicht bereit bin auch nur einen weiteren Euro zu zahlen!

Dann sollte man wenigstens ehrlich angeben, wieviele Wörter für die 2€ drin sind!

Es kann ja nicht sein, dass man wahrscheinlich umgerechnet 30€ für eine App zahlen muss nur um den gewünschten Umfang eines Spiels zu erhalten!

Die Zusatzinhalte sollten ein Anreiz für weiteres Spielen einen bereits guten Spiels sein und nicht eine Erforderniss um ein Spiel nicht nach bereits 30 Minuten wieder aufzugeben.

### 1/5 — rezalet

*2025-07-23, version 1.0.19*

resmi oyun demişsiniz birde parayla alıyoruz. aynı kelimeleri soruyorsunuz. rezalet.

### 3/5 — Matruşka gibi

*2025-07-12, version 1.0.19*

Uygulamayı satın alınca rahat rahat kullanacağızı sanıyorsunuz ama kazın ayağı öyle değil. “Temel” denen 100 kartlı bir bölümünü satın almış oluyorsunuz. Sonra başka kartlarla oynamak isterseniz 50’lik kartlar var ama her biri ücretli. Her birinin ücreti de birbirinden farklı. Yani biri 39 lirayken diğeri 99 lira. Matruşka bebeği gibi. Sürekli ödeme yapmak zorunda kalıyorsunuz. 100 kart ilk başta çekici gelebilir ama kısa bir süre sonra ezberlersiniz. Yani oyunu yapan ekip, kart sayısını çoğaltsa da öyle satsa.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too much money

*2026-07-10*

I bought the app, and then it turns out they give you one small deck that you’ll start getting repeats on within 20 minutes. You can keep buying extra decks if you want, but I wasn’t about to keep spending money on this. Wouldn’t recommend it. Just look up a taboo card generator online instead.

### 1/5 — Not enough cards for the price

*2026-07-07, version 1.0.24*

Love the game but too expensive. Played maybe 5 times before getting mostly repeats.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-06-16*

Taboo is my favorite game. Was traveling so decided to get the app.  It was horrible.  You can play for a short time before it starts repeating the words.  I paid extra for another category and after spending 15 minutes trying to find it we played for about a10 minutes before it started repeating the same words again.  This is the WORST app I’ve ever tried. Don’t waste your time or money.

### 1/5 — Played a few times and saw the same words over and over

*2026-05-10*

Super repetitive, it’s the same words over and over again there is no point in using this app or buying another pack unless for a one time use if you’re really bored.

### 1/5 — Nicht kaufen !!

*2026-01-05*

Nicht kaufen für 2 euro nur 100 karten gratis danach muss man alle weiteren packs kaufen. Nach 20 min haben sich die Karten wiederholt…

### 1/5 — Limited

*2025-12-24, version 1.0.22*

You don’t get many different cards and it just wants you to pay for more packs.

### 1/5 — Man bekommt nur 100 Karten

*2025-12-23*

Man erhält nur ein Deck mit 100 Karten. Wenn man weiterspielen möchte muss man 2€ je 50 Karten bezahlen.

### 1/5 — Paying for every tabu deck does not make sense

*2025-12-21*

I paid for the app to play with my friends thinking compared to free apps i will have considerable deck of cards. After I bought the app, I realized i need to buy each deck separately and it comes with one free deck and the deck is finished in a couple of turn 🙁

### 1/5 — Boş yere verilen para

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.19*

13. Rauntta aynı kelimeler dönmeye başladı bi de hara verdim Türkçede kelime mi yok

### 1/5 — Sürekli aynı kelimeler çıkıyor

*2025-10-08, version 1.0.19*

Parayla aldık 100 kelime ancak var bu ne böyle rezillik yaa

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-01, version 1.0.22*

Fun to play and can play group or individual.

### 5/5 — Fast Customer Support

*2025-12-07, version 1.0.21*

I had troubles with language preference differences due to playing with a multilingual group. The support team was unexpectedly fast helping us out with our issue. Thus I believe app deserves 5 star.

### 5/5 — Love it but

*2025-11-16*

Love it but I wish there was an option to tell the app how many people are on a team so the number of rounds is accurate. Maybe there is and I just missed it?

### 5/5 — Oyun kötü

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.19*

Arkadaşlar sabah kalktım kahvaltı yapacaktım ekmek 20 tl ydi bende 19 tl vardı napsam diye düşündüm bunu aldım açlığımı unutayım diye oyuna girdim 30 tl daha istediler kendimi kötü hissettim ekonomik durumumla dalga geçtiler indirmeyin pls paramı geri istiyorum

### 5/5 — Online gelsinnnnnnn

*2025-01-28, version 1.0.19*

Dediğim gibi Online iyi olur oyun kaliteli ama çocuklar kuşkonmazı nasıl anlatsın

### 5/5 — Awesome game but same words

*2025-01-19, version 1.0.19*

It needs more words. I got repeated words multiple times. I even paid for one deck but still it repeated same words.

### 5/5 — More than words

*2024-12-31, version 1.0.19*
