This used to be scattegories where you got to have fun playing scattegories against other people now it’s this easy trivia game for the 90’s. I have no problem with the game itself but the fact that it’s this now instead of scattegories is upsetting. ### 3/5 — Good game - how to improve *2024-07-24, version 2.4.2* ▪️Too many clicks to continue to the main screen after a victory. 5 clicks. I would feel less frustrated if it was taken down to two and just give us the option to review the previous game. ▪️Make it less time in between collecting coins. It feels like it takes 10 seconds just to collect coins from a win. In a mobile game, that’s too long. Make a button that says: “collect winnings” so you collect all at once rather than go to each individual game and collect the coins. ▪️Make time in between screens faster. This is something that many mobile games fail to do, even big ones like Pokémon Go. We don’t need all the animations in between. We just want a game that goes quickly between scenes or slides so we can play the next one. ▫️This is all nitpicking. This game is really great and I love it and always recommend it for people who like word games. ### 3/5 — Plaisant avec bémol… *2024-05-12, version 2.4.1* Le jeu est plaisant, il ne semble pas avoir de gros « bug », mais la version en français manque de vocabulaire en « français » beaucoup d’anglicismes sont acceptés, mais pas le mot français… parfois les catégories sont très pointues et sortent des questions générales… La version française demande à être plus « française » et plus générale. Le but du jeu reste de faire travailler ses méninges et non de connaître toutes les machines de sport… c’est quoi une machine de sport? ### 2/5 — Recent update needs fixing! *2024-01-30, version 2.4.0* I waited a while to see if this would correct, but it hasn’t. Since the last update, I play two rounds with an opponent and go back to the menu only to find neither saved! This has been happening constantly & I'm over it. I’m fine with shortening the game to 3 rounds (too many people quit after they lost 3 and wouldn’t finish), but this is ridiculous. I’m sick of playing the same rounds over and over because the game won’t save them correctly. Get it together! And bring back the rematch button. It stinks to find someone good and not be able to play them more than once! ### 2/5 — Fun but a lot of errors *2023-12-11, version 2.2.2* I can’t believe this is an official Hasbro app because there are a lot of errors. For example Movies by Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson won’t accept half of his actual movies. Books by JK Rowling only accepts Harry Potter titles. There have been other categories with really questionable accepted and rejected answers. Makes for frustrating play. ### 4/5 — Addictive adverts heaps but worth it USA questions mainly *2023-12-02, version 2.2.2* doesnt accept some real words Bit annoying having to wait some hard or dont know will put with ads ### 3/5 — Love it, but very glitchy and often doesn’t work *2023-11-13, version 2.2.2* I love this game. But often, things will glitch and it will not work. I have quit playing it for months at a time because it is frustrating. The new, untimed “story” levels are awesome… but you’ll roll and get a topic, and it will be a different topic. Also, often it won’t let you play, and sometimes you’ve just spent coins spinning and it won’t let you play. The next time you can play, it makes you spin again. Waste of coins and frustrating. Also, one of the previous updates caused winnings to be 3 coins after 5 rounds. But on any one round, a hint is 100 coins! It used to be 50 coins each win! I wish this app worked better and the winnings hadn’t changed so drastically, or there was another way to earn the coins. The glitching is super frustrating. ### 4/5 — Still needs a little work… *2023-07-30, version 2.2.2* This Scattergories BLITZ game is fun. However the responses are a bit subjective depending on who you are. They should be exact where needed (i.e. Name Tom Hanks movies) and general where needed (I.e. vegetarian meals). Answers for the first are what they are. But for the second, I lost because answers were exact dishes that were so specific like vegetarian bean casserole or sweet potato soufflé with raisins and other rather exact dishes most people wouldn’t know. These answers should have been more general like salads, beans, rice, etc. Also, the view of your opponents responses is sporadic. If I play 15 games, I may only see their responses for 2 games and won’t know why they won. Also, there are many correct answers that are not accepted. (A Man Named Otto was not accepted as a Tom Hanks movie.). Since a year or decade was not specified, it should have been accepted. Since it came out this year, I won’t fuss too much. Additionally 45 seconds is madness. But this one I’ll let go. I guess the rush is a part of the fun. Keep improving. Should be a stellar game once you get some of the kinks out. ### 2/5 — Great game but Stole my money *2023-06-28, version 2.2.0* In game purchase offer for ad free play for .99. I paid and I still have ads!! ### 4/5 — No more coins? *2023-05-17, version 2.2.0* Weird, they just did an update, they upped the free answer earn from 30 coins to 100, and now when you win a round you only get 3 coins instead of 30 (or was it 50?). This is such an odd change and it kind of takes the fun out of the game, you can’t really earn anything anymore… less fun than it was before. ### 1/5 — Used to love it.. *2023-04-21* I used to play this all the time and loved it. But now we have categories that don’t match their answers, and then others I’ll answer really simple answers that everyone would agree to, and they are wrong. When I develop reveal the answers, they are extremely similar to what I typed, often with an added word that wouldn’t be intuitive or an added letter. It’s ridiculous and becoming impossible on some rounds to even have a chance or even just one guess make sense. I don’t know how we suddenly got flooded with these glitchy categories, but it is on the verge of causing this frequent user to delete the app. **Developer response:** Hello, Please contact us at tickets@magmic.uservoice.com and we will investigate this further for you. Sorry about the frustration! ### 2/5 — Fun but answers are weird *2023-04-05, version 2.1.2* Great idea and fun however the answers have lots of words I have never heard of before. The answers sound American and I am Australian and we do not have very many of the same words so that is really not fun. ### 2/5 — Game is Ehh *2023-03-28, version 2.1.2* Not a huge fan of this game. The categories were really weird. Some of them not really making sense and was hard to understand what they were looking for. Not a terrible idea. The concept was really cool. ### 4/5 — Fun *2023-03-10, version 2.1.2* Fun game. Wish there weren’t so many ads and had more questions ### 1/5 — Second review *2023-03-01, version 2.1.1* So the response to my previous review added the helpful “dispute” resolution. Nope. If I take as much time to correct your answers, which builds your database, as I do playing then you should pay me as a developer. ### 1/5 — Fix this game! *2023-02-11, version 2.1.1* Who is developing this game? What is going on, seriously? It is unplayable now. The players, I don’t think they’re real but probably NPC, are putting in gibberish answers and getting points and also running up the numbers giving answers there’s no humanly way possible they would know. I’m on the leader board in the top 10. I’ve played this game a lot over the past 3 years, even though it’s redundant, sometimes it’s fun. But now you might as well take it off the App Store. It is horrendous. What’s with the new categories too? Godzilla monsters?? Who knows that? Oh right, the NPC you’ll likely be playing against. They’ll suspiciously be able to name 30 Godzilla monsters in 45 seconds. Imagine the knowledge and typing skills! One of the answers for “Palindrome names” was “Bv”. Hmm… that’s not a palindrome. That’s not even a name! Like someone else said in a review: there is no quality control. It’s a total free for all. Seems like whoever is in control of writing code for this game is out of it. ### 1/5 — Fun but so many wrong answers - Can’t do it anymore *2023-02-06, version 2.1.1* There’s zero quality control here. So many wrong answers are allowed. Like blatantly wrong answers. Wildly wrong answers. Incomplete and misspelled answers also allowed. And so many verifiably correct answers are dinged as incorrect. No fun to play when it’s 50/50 chance the game makers know the correct answers. Definitely not QA’d by anyone in the west. Not sure who checks the answers/facts but definitely not American or European. And likely no one over age 22. Really, some of the lists are written by people who know nothing about the world. It’s fine if it’s not oriented to western culture but then don’t use western categories if you don’t know the correct answers. And the list of “offensive” words is ridiculous. Like “bum” isn’t allowed. Come on. And so repetitive. Only a few weeks in and I’m done. Nothing new and what is there is so annoyingly wrong. Blah. ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, and more ads *2023-01-21, version 2.1.0* Too many ads! Takes away all the fun. ### 2/5 — Game is acting crazy! *2023-01-09, version 2.1.0* Somehow, a recent update has messed up a game that I used to really love and enjoy playing! First problem: game enters the “Category” round without letting the player know what letter they’re playing, let alone that they’re even playing this round to begin with!! Second problem: suddenly, the game has taken upon itself to decide that, every so often, it would like to change the category and all answers to a different language that I do t know!! Why did you guys have to ruin a good game?? I’m very close to deleting and moving on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — broken *2024-12-06, version 2.4.2* the game stopped working at all, stuck on loading screen. can someone fix it? i paid money for this game ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2024-08-18, version 2.4.2* Has been super buggy for 5+ years. Still no win-loss tracking. Game after game lost because “trying to connect.” Doesn’t accept most medical terms. Doesn’t accept chemical names of medications (fluoxetine, etc.). Players should be able to judge answers and decide whether curse words are allowed. ### 1/5 — terrible *2024-04-28, version 2.4.1* terrible ### 1/5 — Playing against dumb bots *2024-04-23, version 2.4.1* The category was farm animals (something we learn in preschool) and the opponent’s only 2 answers were alpaca and a word that wasn’t in English. In another game, my opponent only had one answer for pizza toppings, and it was sausage. I mean not even pepperoni or cheese, really? Either they’re matching me with foreign players or really dumb and unchallenging bots. Not fun at all. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t even work anymore *2024-01-15, version 2.4.0* I even deleted it and uploaded it again and it opens to the front page and then locks up. Bummer cause I used to enjoy playing it. ### 1/5 — Horrible app. Only losers play this. *2023-11-26, version 2.2.2* I refuse to believe I (IQ of 174) cannot win this stupid game. They literally never approve my answer and it always becomes a dispute which aggravates me severely. Seeing all these bozos win because they got an uncommon answer which puts them at 62 while i’m at 60 makes me want to punch them in the face. I’m loosing hundreds of coins BECAUSE THIS GAME IS RIGGED! I cannot believe that the app store let this app go on while it is a horrible influence for people with anger issues. This app has the same ad after every round that I lose is OF STUPID MONOPOLY GO!! I HATE MONOPOLY SO STOP IT!! Thank you for listening to my review of this horrid app. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-09-08, version 2.2.2* The amount of ads is ridiculous. They occur after every 45 second round of play (for 30 seconds). In-app ads is one thing, but users are spending almost as much time viewing ads as they are playing the game. It really crystallizes what the app developers’ priorities are (monetizing their users’ attention rather than making a quality product). The quantity of ads has taken all the enjoyment out of the game and I am deleting it immediately. ### 1/5 — Played this game for YEARS *2023-05-30, version 2.2.0* I stopped for no real reason started playing recently and saw that the reveal answers are filled with incorrect answers. For example 80s boy bands, first of all there weren’t many in the 80s and that category doesn’t include rock bands from the 80s Motley Crue isn’t a boy band and Jackson 5 weren’t together in the 80s. I used to love this game now the answers you have filled your database with are wrong. So I’m done with this game. You need a real person familiar with pop culture to go in a fix your answers. ### 1/5 — What happened to this game *2023-05-06, version 2.1.3* I recently had a category called “rating” and all the answers were garden hose + garden hose attachment? A popular popsicle category where cherry and grape aren’t answers but Dr Pepper is? “Common baked dishes” rejects bread and macaroni and cheese but accepts key lime pie and panna cotta? Genuinely who is in charge here and why did the answers stop making sense?? ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-04-21, version 2.1.3* I understand having to watch ads for a free app but they are 30 seconds long after each round. It’s ridiculous. I can’t even enjoy the game at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Too many ads *2023-07-26, version 2.2.2* Ads after each round is annoying. The players all seem like bots to me. ### 5/5 — Mel *2022-11-26, version 2.0.3* J’ai toujours adoré ce jeu 🥰🥰🥰 ### 5/5 — Classic game on your phone *2022-10-09, version 2.0.2* Loved the game and now love the mobile version. Could use a greater selection of categories and not so repetitious, but I see some new ones sneak in from time to time so all good ### 5/5 — The best *2022-06-23, version 1.2.1* One of the best trivia games for iPhone. It keeps the sense of the classic board game with a beautiful look very fair pointing and adds system. You keep want to come back and play more. It also provides you with the answer sheet that you can have by earning points . Again so fair and rational. I wish there were more actual real humans that play to raise the competition. Sadly it is obvious when your are against the same bots . But still doesn’t make it any less fun. ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2022-05-30, version 1.2.1* Please finish chapter five. I love this game. ### 5/5 — Fun and addicting *2022-05-06, version 1.2.1* I have been playing this for over a year now and I just love it. Wish there was more to the solo game but the categories are fun and challenging and I love it. ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2022-04-19, version 1.2.0* LOVE IT SO MUCH ### 5/5 — More *2021-06-26, version 1.1.16* Need more Australia stuff ### 5/5 — Fast & Fun! *2021-05-03, version 1.1.14* Rapidfire quick gameplay makes this app a great diversion when you’re looking for something to do. ### 5/5 — A Good Game, but.... *2021-04-21, version 1.1.14* This is a fun game to play. A little different than the original version, but that does not take away from it for me. My only complaint was that on the most recent update, all of the games I was in the middle of playing disappeared. Not a huge deal for me, but it would have been nice to see how it all ended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
