### 2/5 — No title

*2023-06-15, version 1.0.4*

This app is OK. Some of them are funny but it gets really aggravating when it shows the same videos over and over.

### 4/5 — Help

*2021-10-10, version 1.0.4*

It’s not working.I keep trying to get on the app but when ever I try to do the challenge it just lets me click but then does nothing saying I have no internet when my internet is perfect because it’s working for my family.The app was fun while I was bake to use it so I’m giving it four stars

### 2/5 — Won’t let me in

*2021-08-29, version 1.0.4*

I downloaded this app to do something to pass the time but it can’t find my face and it is really glitchy so creators plz fix this

### 4/5 — My opinion

*2021-07-24, version 1.0.4*

This app is hilarious, it is rated 4+ and I saw a meme that said the f word and the sh word.

### 4/5 — In my opinion this is a great app!

*2021-05-30, version 1.0.4*

In my opinion this is a great app! It never had a problem recognizing me smiling! Though I did see a couple problems.. First when my phone would move a little bit because my hand was tired of holding my phone up it would count as “smiling”. Second when I would take a breath (I am a mouth breather because of something to do with my nose all my life) anyway when I would take a good breath it would count as smiling!!! Like WHAT??? Other than that it is a great app!!! I will give this a four star because I see what they were going for and I love the idea!!

### 3/5 — I don’t really like it

*2021-05-03, version 1.0.4*

I don’t like this that much but it was a good idea but I didn’t really enjoy it because it keeps saying you smiled when you don’t but overall it’s maybe okay

### 3/5 — Good game

*2020-12-22, version 1.0.4*

Good game but uh i dont like how it tracks your face and i dont think its for 4+ because there is a drunk mode and a scare mode so i dont think 4 year olds parents will like that but good game just some changes uou need to improve the app! Ty for reading シ

### 2/5 — broken

*2020-08-12, version 1.0.4*

it hasnt been updated in 1yr

I can log in, but when I try to do anything theres a SSL error

dont waste your time on this app.

### 2/5 — I can’t sign in

*2020-08-06, version 1.0.4*

I don’t know what’s wrong when I try to sign in it says request failed and when I try do to the challenge it says a SSL error has occurred

### 2/5 — Was good at first (BUT THEN)

*2020-07-15, version 1.0.4*

It would work and work and work but now when every I try to go into the app it says “SSL IS NOT WORKING” and I went to my settings and everything was fine so it was pretty well then it just kept saying no internet.

### 1/5 — Unbelievable

*2020-07-15, version 1.0.4*

I just downloaded this app thinking it would be fun but I can’t even sign into it and I can only do that if I have a twitter account. Also these errors kept popping up on my screen and I said I would sign in later and didn’t want them to send notifications. Totally disappointed 😡

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-06-26, version 1.0.4*

Guys don’t download this app it’s a four plus app and it swears

### 1/5 — Swearing and adult content. Not 4+

*2020-06-14, version 1.0.4*

Not for kids. Age rating wrong. Swearing and adult content. Not 4+

### 4/5 — It’s on kids

*2020-02-26, version 1.0.4*

I put it on kids but then when I watched a video it said a bad word you need to find videos that are family friendly for kids

### 3/5 — Ok

*2020-01-15, version 1.0.4*

This app seems to be good based on the reviews, but the some of the videos are for 12+ and the age suggestion is 4+, I haven’t used the app but the one of screen shots you can look at when downloading the app, has a person naked and is calling them drunk, not for 10 and under!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I tried

*2023-06-01, version 1.0.4*

something went wrong

### 1/5 — Code 502

*2023-05-21, version 1.0.4*

So I was looking for games because I was bored and I saw this so I downloaded it and it told me to sign in I didn’t because I don’t have twitter so now when I play it it says “,ERROR, unacceptable code 502
can’t play” ITS REALLY ANNOYING!!!! PLEASE FIX IT!

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2022-02-02, version 1.0.4*

It responds with “something went wrong”

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-09-28, version 1.0.4*

Can't even use the main feature of the challenge mode, also cant login to twitter

### 1/5 — Not funny

*2021-08-14, version 1.0.4*

Didn’t laugh

### 1/5 — Keep getting a SSL error

*2020-10-19, version 1.0.4*

As soon as I open up the app, an error message opens up that says “Something went wrong. An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made.” Since I restarted my phone several times and I’m not having this problem with any other apps on my phone, I think the problem is this app.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2020-09-08, version 1.0.4*

Didn’t let me do anything, I wanted to see how good I was at not smiling but guess I can’t do that

### 1/5 — Kind of disappointed

*2020-08-03, version 1.0.4*

Terrible app doesn’t even load in

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-07-19, version 1.0.4*

When I tried to open the app it would say an SSL, or something went wrong

### 1/5 — It wouldn’t let me sign in!!

*2020-07-15, version 1.0.4*

Every time I tried to sign in it would say “Something went wrong” it would say something like that every time!! 😡
