I would like a refund! ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-06-04, version 1.1.0* I thought it would be great idea to get this app so I could play games with my family across the country during the lockdown..... but you can’t share your screen, so it’s utterly useless for remote play. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Jack box *2020-05-04, version 1.1.0* I wanted this game to play on line with other family members. It appears I cannot share screen what a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Wish I hadn't *2020-04-18, version 1.1.0* This is by far the least fun bundle of their games. Not worth $25 ### 1/5 — Do not purchase this app *2020-04-03, version 1.1.0* What the makers of this game don’t tell you is that you can’t use this version to share remotely. You can only use a service like zoom if you are on a computer- not the iPad. I’m hopeful that Apple will refund my money. I did have a friend who bought the desktop version and we shared it via zoom, but the sound quality was very poor. Great idea, but poor execution. Don’t be dumb like me- $40 in for a crummy experience. ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2020-03-21, version 1.1.0* It’s frustrating to spend money on a game, sit down to play it and it doesn’t work right. No sound. 😥 ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2019-12-28, version 1.1.0* Boring and WAY too expensive. Biggest waste of $40, bought it two days ago my request for refund was declined, will not be playing again. Would give 0 stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2019-12-26, version 1.1.0* I want a refund. There is no sound, the games lag heavily and there are 5 games for 20+ dollars. I do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-12-26, version 1.0.0* No sound and shows up very small on the screen when used with iPad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — There is no app sound !?!?!??? *2021-04-27, version 1.1.0* There is no sound and no way to fix it! ### 1/5 — No audio on iPad *2021-02-05, version 1.1.0* There is no audio - makes this pretty useless! ### 1/5 — Help please *2021-01-09, version 1.1.0* So I just purchased this game for the iPad and for the life of me I cannot find the settings so I can make it kid friendly. I paid $25 just for the game drawful. I will change my stars if this can be solved. I would hate to think that the settings or menu option doesn’t exist on the iPad version. I would appreciate a reply or a ticket number. Thank you so much. Otherwise I love these games. ### 1/5 — Not fun at all, *2021-01-01, version 1.1.0* I just purchased the jack box party pack hoping to stream it on my smart TV so my family could play. It was a complete disaster. Can I get a refund? This was too much money for something that does not work as planned. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-12-24, version 1.1.0* No sound very lame ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Just what we needed *2021-01-30, version 1.1.0* Perfect on iPad and Apple TV ### 5/5 — Great Fun! *2020-12-13, version 1.1.0* Have used this to play in person and via Zoom and has worked perfectly. Other reviews mentioned lagging and no sound but we’ve had no such issues. Just be aware when you buy the iPad version, that and Apple TV are the only platforms you can play it on. Great way to get together with friends while social distancing! ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-03-24* Really love (some of) these games. We’ve gotten a lot of laughs from Drawful in particular. Couldn’t you release all the games as stand alone units? We would buy MANY of the other games, but most of your packs are so full of duds that we won’t buy them as packs. ### 5/5 — Thrilled *2019-07-29, version 1.1.0* This is a fantastic family or party game. We love it! ### 5/5 — Such a fun party game *2019-02-02, version 1.0.0* My family loves this ### 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 ### 4/5 — Games good but sound doesn’t work properly *2020-04-18, version 1.1.0* Sound doesn’t play through iPad speaker, only headphones or Bluetooth speaker with is really annoying. Hoping the can fix this. Otherwise the games work well. ### 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. ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
