I supported and paid for the old version of the app, which was easy to use and was great for a quick round. Then it got changed and it got basically unusable (didn't work offline). Now it is literally unusable as it just closes everytime it reaches the main menu. Very disappointing 😤
I had purchased the app when it was launched. I had access to lot of cards then. But after many updates, they are asking money for variety of decks. I had expected to not only receive new content being an early patron but the least of all to have access to my purchased content. This is such a money minded approach without caring for ebbed the people who have paid!
The game is really well made.....but there are only bots playing the game. Its pretty obvious after a few rounds. Their clues always involve single words that are often uncommon and unrelated to the actual word. And also they can never guess or guess completely random things when you're the narrator.
I would love to give the app a higher rating but unfortunately can't. The game is fun, but having paid to remove adverts I expect adverts to have actually been removed! Yet everytime I play the game I am still faced with adverts popping up everytime I load the app. I hope this is a bug to be resolved rather than fraudulent in app purchases, but either way until resolved I cannot recommend this game, and if played I would advise against paying to remove adds.
The game is super fun I like how we have multiple choices for language settings and it would be nice if we could have Japanese as well. Looking forward to the online feature!! Good job!
I bought a bunch of word packs & installed the app on a new device - now it wants me to purchase them again. Edit 2019: updating to the latest version did not help. Edit 2020: Updating to version 7 also didn't help. I'm not paying for these word packs I've already bought.
I enjoyed guessing words in the online mode. but sometimes it's frozen on my meizu phone for some seconds. it's not a big problem but it hurts my experience a little bit.
Great and fun game, lot of laughing guaranteed. It's not too annoying with ads, is very user friendly and has multiple languages possible (can be switched in the menu).
This game is using bots and not real people, and half the text isn't legible because here are random asterisks placed everywhere.would download to play for free, but I bought the other decks as it showed there was people online playing them.... These were NOT real people, they are stupid half the time, and the other half of the time they say the words right off your card.
Edit 2: PLEASE invest in recruiting players instead of in making smarter bots!!!! Edit 1: their fix did not bring humans after all, they're just bots that sound more human in the chat, I've read my own comments in the chat, coming from a bot player, several times. Back to 2 stars. Of the 20+ times you open the app to play, you play against bots 19.5 times. A real shame, because if a person suddenly plays along once or twice a month, it really is the best game in the world.
It used to be awesome. Now it won't sign in and I cannot play anything in any mode. I've tried on two phones running different versions of Android. No luck.
It is a great game. But I bought two packages a while ago and now they are gone. I have written to the support email and also via Facebook and no answer.
It's a fun game. Card games are always my favourite and playing with family ads cherry on the top. Just needed more deck options.
I love this game, great with groups. However I believe recent updates have deleted a number of decks I have purchased and now only have the starter deck 🤭👎. Aside from that set back i would give 5🌟.
Not only the app is broken, but I can't access cards I've previously bought. Developers answer comments, but don't respond to emails. Disappointing.
Interesting app.. fun to play with friends, user control, graphics are too good. cheers :)
Cannot change username. Please help!
very funny, but it would be better to play with a bigger deck is there any way to get more card but without paying? :D
Had an issue and the developer responded and helped within a few hours. Easy to use app 😊
I bought cards and now they disappeared. Can you restore them please? - After some days they restored my decks. Thanks a lot!
Great party game. A lot of fun guaranteed. I like the art style of the app.
crashed four times before even starting on a Oneplus6 with the latest Android. deleted.
i like this app interesting game .Play ONLINE or with your fiends. Pass the keyword without using taboo words.amazing experience with this app
I Love the concept of the game and the graphics are amazing. Wow
I enjoy it but I wanted to get back my purchased decks but they don't respond. They ones were helpful but no one helps me now :c
So much fun with friends!!!! Has many language options.
The clock goes down stupidly fast. No fun if it's broken. Even 5 minute timer only lasts about five seconds. Please fix!!
