### 4/5 — Love Love Love

*2026-05-24, version 1.0.43*

I have recently reignited this game and it’s still as good as ever.

### 4/5 — Great but sometimes inaccurate

*2025-03-04, version 1.0.43*

Ever heard of the animal ekaltadelta? No? Because it doesn’t exist. Even the 6 dictionaries they give you to choose from to look up the word you missed say this word doesn’t exist. I had to look it up on the internet. The correct spelling is ekaltadeta. Dictionary.com still says this doesn’t exist, but other sources say it’s some kind of pre-historic giant rat-kangaroo from Australia. Weird and highly suspect. But come on, at least spell it right. I lost the game cuz I can’t guess how you misspelled something.

### 4/5 — Fun to play solo or with a friend

*2024-07-18, version 1.0.43*

Love the animations, although the placement and contrast of the executioner artwork over the letters & spaces sometimes makes it difficult to see the letters and how many spaces are left.

### 2/5 — Sound!

*2023-09-03, version 1.0.42*

Very loud and unable to turn down volume

### 4/5 — Not even funny anymore.

*2021-03-28, version 1.0.37*

This is fun and scary I'm 12 and I just got iPad because I got it on my birthday.

### 4/5 — Needs a fix

*2020-12-29, version 1.0.37*

Like the game but the hangman covers the word if you near the end which spoils the game if you can’t remember where the gaps etc are ... please fix

### 2/5 — Ok

*2019-11-06, version 1.0.36*

I loved the animations and used to use this with my students when we had a few minutes and needed a break.  However the animation now includes what kids interpret as a braw so I don’t dare use it anymore.

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-08-23, version 1.0.36*

Good game but you can’t add spaces between words

### 2/5 — Can’t see word if you lose

*2019-06-25, version 1.0.35*

If you don’t get a word I called you a loser but you can’t see what the word was because it’s covered up by that you’re a loser sign

### 4/5 — Awesome animation that gets a smile every time

*2019-04-12, version 1.0.34*

Only thing that needs tweaking is having the solution letters a clearer colour - blue and purple are too close especially when nearing the end and hangman animation hides the answer.

### 5/5 — Hangman

*2019-03-07, version 1.0.34*

Brilliant and enjoyable game

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-02-10, version 1.0.34*

This is a fun game.  Great game for individuals and families.  I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Just one drawback

*2018-12-10, version 1.0.34*

Overall, the game is great. Lots of different categories to play. The only thing I wish it could do is save my score. Maybe there is a way to do so and I haven’t figured it out. Again, it’s a great game. That’s why I gave it 5 stars.

### 5/5 — The BEST game

*2018-11-14, version 1.0.34*

Welll I haven’t played it but it’s good.

### 5/5 — Love it so much

*2018-09-05, version 1.0.34*

It is so fun and a great game to play with family and friends!

### 5/5 — Sufficiently challenging for everyone

*2018-07-12, version 1.0.34*

Finally I have found a version of Hangman that is extremely challenging. I have played many other hangman games but generally find them too easy. Some contain proper names which I find annoying. This game will keep you alert and at your peak vocabulary level. Warning though it is highly addictive and may contribute to insomnia. As you play the words become continuously more difficult and will eventually stump even the most educated. For senior citizens this game is a veritable hindrance to dementia. Do not play if you are planning to sleep or are scheduled for an appointment. Best hangman ever!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The words are too basic

*2024-03-03, version 1.0.42*

They are three and four letter words

### 1/5 — Doc

*2021-08-16, version 1.0.37*

Too many ads and interruptions

### 1/5 — Crooks

*2020-09-17, version 1.0.37*

Paid to remove ads. Worked for a little while then refuses to now. This is like theft. Also the character gets in the way of the letters. Long time owner of the app. Now I am just PO’ed... Restore my purchase.

### 1/5 — FIX IT NOW!!!

*2019-08-17, version 1.0.35*

YOU CAN'T DO SPACES SOOOOOOO UGHHHHHHHHHHH THAT TOOK AWAY 2 STARD! ALSO IT'D REALLY ANNOYING BECUASE HALF THE TIME I CAN'T FIT THE WORDS I WANT SO THAT TOOK 2 STARS! IF THIS IS NOT FIXED ASAP YOU WILL LOOSE A CUSTOMER AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE HOW BAD IT IS.  Good luck. :)

### 1/5 — can’t see the hints!

*2018-01-24, version 1.0.32*

Very annoyed that the graphics in this app obscure the word you are trying to guess. Can’t see anything. Fix that and the user experience would be awesome!

### 1/5 — Where are the clues at?!

*2018-01-08, version 1.0.32*

Why are there no clues??!!

### 1/5 — No Clues!

*2017-12-24, version 1.0.32*

There are no clues in this game, so you don't really know what the words could possibly be.
Don't know about you but a clue here and there helps to figure out the word.

### 1/5 — No wonder it is free

*2016-01-02, version 1.0.30*

I suppose sometimes even cliche old sayings hold true. 'You get what you pay for' comes to mind in this case! Every single program out out by this publisher/company, looks and plays like cheap crapolla! So bad that even 'for the price' you can indeed complain! Boo to this publisher and boo to the maker of this horrid horrid game!

### 1/5 — Please Fix Multiplayer

*2015-05-05, version 1.0.30*

Specifically got the to play with long distance friends. It crashes after you enter the word on the iPad Air first generation. Otherwise it looks fun.

### 1/5 — Boring boring boring

*2013-10-09, version 1.0.29*

It's ok but it is very frustrating and isn't like the usual hangman don't puck e ANIMAL  catorgry :(

### 5/5 — og awesome game

*2025-11-23, version 1.0.43*

the original og hangman game (well for ipad anyways) 😄

### 5/5 — I enjoy this

*2025-11-05, version 1.0.43*

No ads. The animation is hilarious. It’s a fun little game

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2025-04-12, version 1.0.43*

Simple and great fun. Comes in handy on long journeys with my children. It would be great if you could space out words, and have an option to randomise word categories.

### 5/5 — Great Hangman App

*2024-12-13, version 1.0.43*

Had this as a kid and recently redownloaded it. It honestly has not changed at all. No ads, works offline, the animations are cute. Not the flashiest graphics, but very functional. One thing I wasn't expecting is how useful it can be as a language-learning tool. It has multiple categories in spanish, french, german, and portuguese. While there is an "SAT word" category (and many others) that can make the words challenging enough for a native speaker, the basic english and basic spanish categories have very very common words for whatever level you're at (e.g., "and" "when" "porque" "ellos"). So that was a fun surprise! You can connect with a friend, a random player, or two players can use the app on one device, and it works well. Unfortunately, you can only do single words unless you don't need to have any spaces in your sentence, but that's the only complaint I can really think of. Though I will advise that there's no word-checker, so if you play with a random person and/or a small child, they may very well just give you a keyboard smash. It's a very simple app, very old-internet style, but I think it's great

### 5/5 — It’s a good game:)

*2023-04-23, version 1.0.40*

This game is fun I started playing it a while ago but then I deleted it. Now I’m playing it after 5 or something years. Its really fun I recommend it:)

### 5/5 — Very good!

*2021-02-01, version 1.0.29*

I played this fun game on the first iPad and the iPod touch 3rd Gen. .the game is very fun ! I really recommend  this game in 2021

### 5/5 — Most fun I’ve had in a while

*2020-01-02, version 1.0.36*

This is absolutely a delight to play and the most fun I’ve had in a long while. The animations for the yellow theme is actually what convinced me to purchase ad removal. My mom, who is not into handheld games, got hooked QUICK. Well done!

### 5/5 — One request

*2019-10-24, version 1.0.36*

Update Oct 2019
Fantastic!! They’ve now added more custom lists. I can now enter upto about 50 custom word lists. I’m using it to add a year worth of school spelling words. My son struggles to learn his spelling but with this app he is getting mainly 12/12 in his spelling tests. I get him to do the app during school run while I’m driving. Because I can hear the audio feedback from the hangman app plus the music I can tell my son doing this app and not switched over to a game. :0)

2018 Nov
Can you allow me to add much more custom word lists. There are only a few available now. Say 40 custom word list or more would be great!! 

2018 Update. —  Thank you for allowing me to enter my son’s spelling list. I am now playing with my son each week to practise his spelling. 

I have another request. Can you add more animation scenarios? They are only two or three scenarios. One where the hangman gets struck my lighting and another one. If there are more scenarios while the person is being created when you get a litter wrong and more scenarios when the hanged person escapes from being hanged etc. This will make it more entertaining.

The music is great. Love that the words are created in lowercase so my son can relate to his school reading & spelling. I’ve tried a few other hangman apps but this one is by far the best one. 

Thanks 
——-
Old post —-  Please allow me to enter my son’s spelling words  in a group of ten words at a time. Each 10 words can be played in hangman. Each week I would then enter my son’s new set of 10 words. Over time he can go back to play hangman for the spelling lists he has done before. 

If it has this then my son can use it. 
Many thanks

### 5/5 — Fun

*2019-07-15, version 1.0.35*

This is a fun game, that makes you think. Also good to brush up on your spelling

### 5/5 — Challenging and fun! （╹◡╹）

*2019-05-30, version 1.0.34*

I am learning so much from this app. It is very fun to guess the answer! I enjoy playing while listening to music. It is very nice. So far no commercials. This is definitely a great app! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
