How high can you score? Say a phrase, flip it, and find out. FlipTalk is the backwards talking challenge where every phrase is a test and every attempt earns a score. Nail it and your voice plays forward sounding just like the original. Miss it? That part's hilarious too. Here's the deal: 1. Say any phrase into your camera. 2. FlipTalk flips it and shows you how to say it backwards. 3. Now YOU try. Mimic what you hear. 4. Hit play. Your backwards attempt runs forward and sounds like the real thing. 5. Then FlipTalk scores it. How high did you land? Miss by a mile? Go again. Land an 88? You KNOW there's a 90 in there somewhere. Your best score is never safe, because tomorrow you'll want to top it. One phrase, endless attempts, one number to chase. And the videos are ridiculous. FlipTalk builds share-ready clips from your session: your best attempt right after the original phrase, or your whole run from worst to best. Drop it in the group chat. Post it. Watch everyone else try to top you. Your first FlipTalk takes 30 seconds. Getting great at it takes a little longer. That's the whole point. No sign-up. No account. Anyone can play. PICK YOUR CHALLENGE Classic Sayings. Tongue Twisters. Animals. Or say whatever you want. Fresh phrases every time. FLIPTALK PREMIUM Unlimited challenge slots. Progress stats for every phrase. Watermark-free videos. No ads. Subscribe monthly or yearly for the best value. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.

How high can you score? There's only one way to find out. And nobody stops at one.

One player says a word. The app plays it backwards. Everyone else copies the gibberish — and when the app flips their attempts back, the word comes out again, in their voices. When it lands, it's uncanny. When it doesn't — which is most of the time at first — it's much funnier. HOW A ROUND WORKS 1. One player says a word out loud. Nobody else sees it. 2. The app reverses it. The others hear only gibberish, slowed down and looped as often as they need. 3. One by one, they copy that gibberish as closely as they can. 4. The app reverses every attempt. You listen together — and the phone scores how close each one came. That fourth step is the whole game. ONE PHONE, UP TO SIX PLAYERS No accounts, no second device, no turn timers. Record, hand it over, mimic, reveal. Everyone gets a silly name — Suspicious Potato, Captain Dumpling — or types their own. NEW: CHALLENGES No one around? Crack backwards words on your own. Hear a word reversed, record what you heard, flip your take back to check it, then type the answer. 14 categories — animals, food, movies, slang, fairy tales and more — 20 levels each, from one easy word to short phrases. Separate English and Ukrainian word lists, not translations. Only a wrong answer costs one of your 3 lives; listening and recording are always free. WHO GOT CLOSEST The phone scores every attempt — how close it sounds to the original, as a percentage — and crowns the closest. It listens to sound, not meaning, so arguing with it is part of the game. YOU CANNOT CHEAT IT The prompt is silenced while a copy is recording. That isn't a rule you're asked to follow, it's built into the app: if the original were audible, the reveal would replay the speaker's voice and the game would stop meaning anything. SHARE THE DISASTERS Any round exports as one video — the word, the word reversed, then every attempt flipped back, with the crowned one saved for last. It's the funniest thing the app makes and the fastest way to explain the game to someone who hasn't played. EVERY ROUND, SAVED Rounds save to your history by themselves, with every voice. Replay the best fails, favourite them, or play them back as a robot, a chipmunk or a monster. If you allow it, Apple's speech recognition writes the word on the round so your history shows what each one was. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. Recordings stay on your device and videos are put together on the phone — the app's only network call of its own is a daily App Store check for a new version. Naming rounds is optional and uses Apple's speech recognition, which may send the recorded word to Apple when the phone can't recognise it by itself. FREE TO PLAY 5 party rounds free, refilling every 4 hours — however many are playing. Replays, retakes, labels and sharing never cost a round. In Challenges, 4 categories are free, with 3 lives that all come back 4 hours after the last one goes. BACKTALK PREMIUM • Unlimited party rounds and Challenges lives • All 14 Challenges categories, with a hint on every level • Every voice for your replays • Keep rounds for 30 days or forever • Never any ads Start with one syllable. Cat, dog, hi, no. SUBSCRIPTION Backtalk Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, offered weekly or monthly; the title, length and price of each option are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://backtalk.anlivio.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://backtalk.anlivio.com/privacy
