### 4/5 — Good but…

*2024-06-06, version 3.9*

This game is one of the best Hangman’s that I have played. One suggestion though. It would be cool to have 2 Player-Mode with both friends on game center and 2 people on one device. Thank you for reading!

### 4/5 — Needs a qwerty keyboard

*2024-05-18*

Good game but think need a qwerty keyboard as I’m struggling to find the letters

**Developer response:** Hi Tdh1971, Thank you for your review, and great suggestion. I have now added a QWERTY keyboard as an option that you can enable in the settings. You can use this in the standard 3 line form, or also use the 2 line keyboard option to tweak it if you like!

### 4/5 — Love it

*2023-10-06*

New version is much improved. A little hard to read for my old eyes and don't see a way to enlarge the text.

**Developer response:** Hi spyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyu,

Thanks for your review. I've added some new options recently that should make the text much easier to read. I hope they help!

### 5/5 — Game good

*2023-07-18*

### 5/5 — This Game is SOOOOOO FUNN!

*2023-07-06, version 2.7*

This game is hard, challenging and fun!! Although it does use up a bit of my laptop battery, but it is worth playing a game like this! I can also play it offline where ever I go. I am glad this game is on macbooks!! I would suggest a multiplayer option in the game so we can play together and have fun! on top of that, you could add a chatting system on it but that is really up to you! I wouldn't care less if you don't add what I suggested. This game is already good. hope you make better games with your solo experience!!

### 1/5 — Compare it to this.

*2026-07-05*

Let met ask you this. Lets say you had 100$ and you were gonna buy a...lets say a bike with it. The bike on the box was very advanced and had 40 extra features plus being very rare. You bought it. Now, you are unboxing it. You open the cardboard and inside the box, you see a trycicle with a broken wheel, disfunctional brakes, rusty handlebars, a broken headlight, and a torn up seat. Assentially, you were ripped off. Now you go back to the store, and you tell the manager about it, and he says, "its okay. Everyone has differnent preferences. Just because you do not like it does not mean its a bad product." And you say, "WHO ON EARTH IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT THIS PRODUCT?!?!?!"

### 1/5 — THE VERY BEST PART WAS DELETING IT

*2026-05-17*

This app is very very wrong. It just felt wrong purchasing it. The only other times I feel that way are when I have to walk into a public rest-room at mccdonalds. I clicked on it. Worst thing I've ever done. "DID YOU KNOW THAT ALBERT ENSTIEN GOD BAD GRADES AS A CHILD?" anyway...When I clicked on it...I was met with more adds then I have ever seen in my life. If I could rate it out of a hundred, it would get 6-7 stars.

### 1/5 — sucks

*2026-02-17, version 5.0*

SUCKS

### 2/5 — theyre everywhere

*2025-09-12*

but where were they when the towers fell

### 2/5 — Way too small

*2025-01-07*

fun game, but the word to be solved is so small someone like me with visual disability its so hard to see and play.  Make it so it can be seen and read

### 3/5 — Word part is too small

*2026-02-01, version 5.0*

Would be better if word to be guessed was bigger. Much bigger

### 3/5 — NOT GREAT

*2025-01-15*

This game needs a lot of work to bring it up to par. Categories are inaccurate and need to be more accurate. For example; Some birds are listed as animals. The same goes for reptiles which should have their own category, etc, etc, etc. The movie category was a joke and not at all based on real movie titles. The creator of this game needs to do better research.

### 3/5 — Good when it's not crashing!

*2024-07-22*

Need to get rid of the "dinosaur" category! Who knows how to spell any of those??

### 3/5 — Fun but has issues

*2023-11-22*

Enjoy the mental challenge but spaces for the letters and letters should be larger. Lots of wasted space.

**Developer response:** Hi 1Trojan1,

I've added some updates to allow the text to be bigger, and more readable in general, I hope that helps improve your experience!

### 3/5 — It's fine!

*2022-10-30*

I mean i like it, but, it is werid how you have limeted chances to guess\try. and, on top of that, it times you for your score thhat you do not need! BUT I STILL LIKE IT!!!!!!

**Developer response:** Hi C-Dog:), Thanks for your review. The timer is for unlocking some Game Center achievements. You can get rewarded for competing each difficulty within a time limit. I hope that makes it more fun for you.

### 5/5 — Goes well with that first cup of coffee

*2024-03-02*

Thank you, Nick.  The darker blue is much easier to see.  I have not ventured far into the game but am enjoying it so far. It  with a cup  of coffee is a great way to get your brain awake and functioning in the morning.

Simple, easy to play and a great way to kill some time when you are waiting or otherwise unoccupied.
