Amazing Game!!!
Mon Feb 22 2021 doggos rockThis game is so fun and I play it all the time. It not only gets your brain thinking but you can invite your friends to play with you and see who has a bigger vocabulary. It gets a bit annoying when you get a letter like u or y or x that their isn’t really many words for but it’s hard for the other player too. Even if you get timed out because the other player stopped the game first, you can change it to zen mode when you get to a certain level which is less of a challenge because you always get a minute unless you stop it so, you don’t need to worry about how fast they are. You can also customize your name and photo on the app for other players to see. If you don’t want to play with your friends or none of your friends have it, you can pick random opponent and it will match you with another player. Sometimes I do wish the app would give you more than 2 or 3 letters when you use your coins for hints. Once I was asked for a super bowl music performer that started with z and it gave me zi when I used my coins on a hint. This game is the perfect game to use when you’re in bed and settling in. Overall this is an amazing game and I really do recommend you getting it.
Addictive and Fun!
Mon Jun 14 2021 Mace d AceThis game is like Scattergories on speed! My family and I can’t stop playing! The best part is it is free (unless you opt to pay for ad removal). I really love playing. The game rewards you extra credit for rare answers, so that adds a fun, competitive angle. I also like the option of being able to watch ads to reveal correct answers for the words that I miss and getting to earn coins to get hints, change categories, or spin the wheel for a different letter. Even with the greatest games, there is always room for improvement. For instance, you should be able to use coins to buy more time on the clock, at least when you play in “zen” mode. It would also be nice to be able to buy more time before a game expires (6 day time limit per game). Sometimes, they count an answer wrong that is correct. You can submit a notice to them of “this answer is correct,” but the answer doesn’t always get added to the database. Finally, they do need to expand their list of correct answers for Q, X, Y, & Z words. You have to get really creative to find answers to fit these letters, yet valid answers aren’t always counted. For instance, a definition for “zany” is “clown” or “clown’s assistant,” yet this answer gets counted as incorrect in the “birthday things” and “circus things” categories. Overall, this is the BEST iPad game I have ever played, and I highly recommend it.
Amazing game! ...with a few complaints
Mon Jul 31 2023 CupcakeCraze491Hi 👋 hope you guys are having a great day/night
So to start off this game is a ton of fun and pretty addicting! I played Scattergories a lot in school and this reminded me a lot of it! To be critical, there are a lot of ads, which is pretty annoying. If you’re a ‘no ads or nothing’ kind of person, I wouldn’t say this is the best game. Also I won’t reveal my age for privacy reasons but a lot of the categories are too hard for me 😭 plus I despise sports so I also don’t know anything about them, which makes a lot of it difficult. However it is a fun game to exercise your brain while still having fun. Though I think it it would be better if there were like a page where you could select the categories you want to play with, so I wouldn’t have to do certain ones. With the letters, I have to agree with one review I read, it does tend to land on the same letter a lot. Also I wish we didn’t have to pay 2 coins to respin especially if it lands on letters like ‘Q’ or ‘X’. The coins are hard to get 😢
Despite everything listed above I still love this quick paced and challenging game, it’s really addicting! The concept is great, the game has a few flaws but whatever! I also love how quick the rounds are so you can just play a little bit at a time... but that won’t happen if you get addicted like me.
Thanks for reading ✌️
Fun game....but
Tue Aug 20 2019 T2bksI really enjoy this game, and will continue to play it, despite the many times a valid word is submitted, only to be discounted. I’m not talking about when words are misspelled or are flat out incorrect. I’m talking about words that you see in later games that are counted as correct in the same category. It’s pretty frustrating. After playing this for a few weeks, I also notice that sometimes a word will be submitted for a particular category and then later, the same word used for the same category and marked incorrect. Go figure! Also, since when is the Washington Monument NOT a tourist attraction? It happens often enough that I’m taking away stars from my earlier review.
Update: now I’m really not happy - I kept getting ‘upload errors’ so I uninstalled/reinstalled it - I paid for no ads, but I can’t get it back because I don’t have facebook. There should be other options than to sign up with Fakebook~ all the other apps I have do. I don’t know maybe someone will come up with a similar game, because it is fun, but without all the errors, and inflexibility of creating an account
Great game with some flaws
Mon May 11 2020 ghostslovefriendsOverall, I absolutely LOVE this game. Some good things: quick rounds make it easy to play without a huge commitment, fun categories, and super fun to play with friends. Some problems: some letters are chosen way more often than others and there is one formatting issue. In the game, the letter that you must use to fill out the categories is chosen through spinning a wheel. The problem with this is, the wheel starts in the same place every time you spin it, and so it usually ends in the same place. For example, usually when I spin the wheel I get the letter M. I would like to play with some other letters once in a while! If letters were picked in a different way, this wouldn’t be a problem. One last problem I’ve run into only comes up when I search for friends. The background of the search box is white, but so is the font color! When I’m typing my friends usernames, I’m typing in white font on a white background! I can’t see what I’m typing, which can lead to me needing to search for the same person multiple times. I don’t know if I’m the only one running into this problem. In the end, this is a great game that I have recommended to my family and friends, and would recommend to anyone who enjoys word games.
You need knowledge!!! 🤓📖
Sun Dec 29 2019 by fluffy stuffinsWhen I saw this game I thought I’d be really good at it, but some categories are like broadway shows, country capitals, and stuff that needs specific knowledge. I think this game is really hard, plus sometimes you get stuck with the letter ‘Z’!!!
I need my mom’s help on 93% of the questions. Then again, you could get the letter A, or a good category like mammals, fruits/veggies/legumes, famous places, girls names, common dog names, or, in my opinion the easiest, colors. This game is fun but I see why it’s rated 12+. The good thing is there is minimal ads 99.9% of the game is the game, the 0.1% is ads.
This game really sharpens your mind!
————-To the game creators: I wish you would make the categories a little easier, for those who are not experts in geography or don’t pay attention to The olympics, broadways, or Oscar events. Also, the game makes you wait sooooooo long to play while “your opponent plays their turn.” I made a pb and j sandwich while I was waiting and ate it. I came back and I was STILL waiting for 5 minutes after I came back. A GAME OF STOP TAKES 5 MINUTES AT MOST AND I WAITED FOR 15 MINUTES!!!
New Issue - Shown Ads after Paying for No Ads Version
Sat Nov 12 2022 Crusade2267Update: I puchased a NO ADS promo the other day. I understand that I can still see ads if I click on the option to see ads in exchange for coins. However, I just clicked to go back to the home screen after completing a game and it suddenly showed me an ad anyway. What’s up with that? Is it a glitch?
I really like this game, but it has some issues that bug me. While points are designated by stars, the way that these scores are computed is confusing. There have been times that it looks like I should have either won the level or at least tied with the other player, but the game said I lost the round. Also, there is no pausing the game play. I had started a round when I got a phone call today. I shut the app to answer the call and when I reopened it later, it still had counted the level even though I had shut the app. Other timed games don’t do this. If you shut the app, the game shuts down and the level is canceled or paused and can be resumed later. Since I didn’t get a chance to write anything and the app didn’t pause gameplay or end the level when I shut the game, I lost the round. Please fix this for later game versions. Other than these complaints, I really like the game.
Fun but needs an update
Sun Dec 01 2019 Loola103So I’ve been playing for a while and it’s a great game. I’m always on it and it’s fun to see what I can come up with under pressure. I think it’s a good format for the game and a good concept. But here’s some suggestions. LESS ADS. There are way too many ads in this game, after every two games it forces me to watch and ad. MORE LIVES . I think you should be able too have 5 lives at once instead of three since rounds are only 3 minutes each. I think you should be able to watch an ad for a life. UPDATE WORDS. In one of my recent games the letter was A and the category was countries. I put America, It said it was incorrect. This has also happened many other times with different letters and categories, and this game needs and update for words. CHILD FRIENDLY MODE. Should be an option so bad words will be censored if the opponent does put them in.
DIFFERENT MODES. Instead of only classic and zen there should be more such as one where you have all the categories and you fill out as many as you can. Aside from all this the player base is also super annoying because half of my lives go to waste. We should be refunded lives if this happens! I would rate this 3.5 if I could
DOWNLOAD THIS GAME NOW!! (Addicted to this game)
Mon Jan 20 2020 HorseCrazyGirlAlexThis game is AWSOME! All you have to do is start a match with a random opponent, or your friend, and you can play for hours! In this game, you get 5 things to answer. You spin a wheel with letters on it and whatever letter it lands on, you have to answer each question with that letter in like, 59 seconds. The fun thing in this game, is that your Opponent can be answering the questions and if he doesn’t know the answer, or he is done, he can press stop. You don’t know if your opponent presses stop, so when it’s your turn, whatever time it was when your opponent pressed stop, that’s how much time you’re going to have to answer the questions. After your done answering the questions you see how many each person got and whoever got the most wins that round. Then you play more rounds to see the ULTIMATE winner, then you can rematch them if you want to. I would give this game five stars, if they didn’t have the lives because if you lose, you get a heart taken away, and when there all gone, you have to wait like 30 mins to get another one. So download this game, to have the time of your life!
Love this developer and game
Sun Nov 04 2018 LdsgingerThis app is my favorite game to play currently. If you’re familiar with the word game Scattergories, then this is basically that in digital form. It runs smoothly, has little ads, and it appears as though you’re never put against robots, unlike most multiplayer games of this kind that I’ve experienced. It is very intellectually stimulating as well, and I like the challenge it presents, without it being hard enough to give up.
I was also reading through the reviews, and noticed consistently that the developers would respond to every comment. This in itself isn’t unique, but the answers were specialized for every comment. Everyone got an answer to their specific issue or suggestion. And not just, “we’re working on it!” The developer explained why the issue was happening or how to solve it. And most of the issues that were brought up, I haven’t noticed. Which means that Fanatee actually solved the issue. Something that most don’t. So thank you Fanatee team for being so good at customer support! You are one of the best developers out there in my opinion.
