### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-11-15, version 1.0.2*

Bought this game to play with my family and you can’t even open the app, what a waste of money. I’d like my money back

### 3/5 — Games

*2024-11-30, version 1.0.2*

Out of the five games in the pack my family only likes two of them. Fibbage and drawful. Sound does work for us.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2024-07-04, version 1.0.2*

Would rather get run over buy a car then buy they trash game again

### 4/5 — Yeah it’s good

*2023-12-27, version 1.1.0*

It’s good! But you do have to project it to the screen for screen mirroring. That’s how it’s best used on mobile

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2023-02-03, version 1.1.0*

I was leery about buying this game based on the reviews. However, I took a shot, purchasing it for an iPad 2nd Gen. No issues whatsoever. Worked perfectly right out of the gate.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2023-01-30, version 1.1.0*

This app doesn’t work. Should have trusted the reviews

### 1/5 — frustrated

*2022-02-13*

I thought I was buying the package that included all these games but I can only play "you don't know jack".  I have deleted and readded app and still cannot change to any of the other games that are displayed.

### 1/5 — No audio in app

*2022-02-10, version 1.1.0*

No audio issues with any app I use on the same device but zero audio on this app

### 2/5 — No sound

*2021-11-21, version 1.1.0*

I am writing this review because I purchased this app yesterday. I purchased it on my iPad and there is no sound. I tried downloading it to my iPhone to see if I would have sound there but it’s not showing up in my family share. The bigger issue is the lack of sound. I don’t know how to get in touch with the developer so I hope they see this review, or, someone else that knows how to get in touch with the 
developer will share with me.

### 1/5 — There is no app sound !?!?!???

*2021-04-27, version 1.1.0*

There is no sound and no way to fix it!
