### 4/5 — Somewhat Fun

*2020-05-23, version 1.2.0*

The drawings don’t always make sense enough to be good clues. Or maybe it’s me who can’t make sense!!

### 4/5 — Fun but Hard

*2019-11-27, version 1.2.0*

This is fun but some things are too hard for me or movies I’ve never seen or heard of. Some of the pictures are confusing because it doesn’t necessarily help or make sense with the movie title, some are too vague.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2018-10-02, version 1.2.0*

Fun and challenging. Puzzles run from easy to quite hard. Enjoying it, but do wish if I chose to have a hint with a letter given that it would not take away the correct portion of my answer first.

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2018-05-05, version 1.1.0*

Have enjoyed this from the beginning.  Nice mix of easy and difficult.

### 5/5 — Not that easy

*2018-02-08, version 1.1.0*

Some clues are easy, but the difficult ones can be very challenging. A real brain teaser.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-11-26, version 1.1.0*

Just started playing, love it! Great fun.

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-10-20, version 1.1.0*

Can't put down

### 4/5 — Very Cute!

*2017-10-15, version 1.1.0*

Sometimes something grabs your attention and surprisingly becomes a tad addicting! I have enjoyed it so far!

### 5/5 — Awesome game!!

*2017-10-15, version 1.1.0*

Love this game!

### 4/5 — Not bad at all

*2017-10-07, version 1.1.0*

A bit cryptic in places - but a fun little game

### 5/5 — What the Flick!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-08-29, version 1.2.3*

All they want is your money

### 1/5 — Hints erase played letters!  And, can't progress.

*2017-10-19, version 1.1.0*

First time playing, I couldn't get one title.  I filled in part of it, then asked for a letter hint.  It erased what I'd entered, then gave me one of the letters I'd already played!  Bogus.

I also couldn't figure out how to open a new level.  Maybe you can't if you haven't completed the one you're on, I don't know. If so, that's bogus too.  It means if you can't get one, you can't play the game any more.

### 2/5 — Clues would be nice

*2018-09-10, version 1.2.0*

When you get a letter right it should remain, but it doesn't let you work things out. You either know or you don't and it only gives 10 pts for solving, but costs 40 for one letter. Not great.

### 2/5 — Bad

*2017-09-26, version 1.1.0*

To much adds and the hints cost too much

### 3/5 — Fun

*2019-05-21, version 1.2.0*

It is an averagely fun game

### 3/5 — Movies

*2018-08-02, version 1.2.0*

If you don't know a lot of films it's not for you

### 3/5 — First time

*2018-07-26, version 1.2.0*

First time playing it, states an unlimited mode in in app purchases and I can’t find it

### 3/5 — Coolio

*2018-06-13, version 1.1.0*

It was good

### 3/5 — Ya

*2017-09-27, version 1.1.0*

Not bad

### 3/5 — Can't turn off ads

*2017-09-27, version 1.1.0*

Even though it says free to purchase, you can't turn off the ads

*2019-03-13*

I don’t like many of these types of games as they can get pretty tricky fast so they make you spend your cash, but this really has my brain muscle working in some spots but overall good game.
