✓ DO NOT BUY THIS GAME - MONEY TRAPI downloaded this game once to play with friends for free. It was pretty fun. Unbeknownst to me, it started charging me $4.79 WEEKLY. I didn’t notice until a couple months later. By that time, I could only submit a refund request for half the payments because the others were more than 60 days ago. Moral of the story: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. I ended up paying more than $80 for something I played once for one hour.... This app is incredibly deceptive and it WILL charge you without permission. It’s extremely difficult to cancel and get a refund. I’ve been chatting with Apple customer support for hours. TRUST ME, IT’S NOT WORTH IT..Version: 2.1.4
✓ DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!!Downloaded this app because it seemed like a good drinking game to play w mates and only realised later that they’re slyly charging me £4.50 after 3 days ! absolutely no confirmation from my side and i only really found out after reading the rest of the reviews on here. Perhaps because i’m still on my 3 day trial, there’s no option to cancel my subscription, but when i get to the end of my three days i’ll be trying to cancel it ASAP!!! ive heard that others have had an issue when cancelling it so not looking forward to this process but will contact apple if it comes to it. A scam..Version: 2.1.4
✓ ScamDownloaded this app awhile ago and have been trying to cancel subscription which I can’t until it charges my account I assume. But it will not charge my account. The costumer service is horrible, I have yet to receive any sort of reply to my issues. Because they won’t charge my account I am unable to download any other apps and am stuck waiting on these scam artists to charge my bank so I can cancel the subscription and delete this awful app. There is no other sources of help, no way to trigger an attempt to charge me to get the process going. I can’t even report the app to try to get Apple to help handle the situation. BS..Version: 2.0.10
✓ PaidI’ve paid and it’s wanting me to pay again, without remember I’ve already paid.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Sneaky pay per week - 0/5 if possibleMy phone bill doubled for two months before I realised they were charging me almost £5 a week! Discovered it and cancelled it back in November and am still getting charged for this! Okay game for occasional use but definitely not worth it. Only posting a review cos it won’t save my rating.Version: 2.2.4
✓ SCAMMERSI have used this a few times in the past and it’s fun a enough game but I just realised they have taken 5 pounds out of my account every week since January and I only just realised and I never consented to this!!! It doesn’t even notify you that this is the const when you download it. £60 gone for nothing! I am extremely angry at this!!!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Charged me £65 without my knowledgeI have never signed up for any premium subscription but it started charging me for a weekly subscription without my knowledge and I only realised months later. There’s no contact information anywhere. I have used a contact us email on the app but there’s just a useless automatic response..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Subscription CostPiccolo is a fun game. A friend of mine purchased the other game modes, which are far better than Getting Started. I was planning on buying a few of the game modes myself, only to find out that there is a massive subscription fee that was added after my friend bought the game modes. I’d happily buy the game modes if they were a one-off payment..Version: 2.2.4
✓ ENJOYABLE GAME / DISLOYAL COMPANYGame was enjoyable, although had previously payed to unlock all features before their update, and now am forced to subscribe? What have I now gained from paying previously?.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Fraudulent charging £4.49 pwNever in my life have I written a review for an app before but this is so ridiculous I have to warn other people. I just found hidden in my apple subscriptions that this game has been charging me £4.49 a week for the past 6 months. I never received a change of terms or made aware of their subscription.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Charged me unauthorised payments.Would not recommend this game at all I downloaded it to play it once with friends on a night and I’ve just found that it has been charging me for an weekly subscription of £4.49 that I never authorised. Would strongly suggest you don’t download this game unless you want to be charged a ridiculous amount for it..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Here is how to unsubscribeThey started charging me $5/wk without me even signing up for anything. Do not download. If you need to unsubscribe if they are charging you, go to your account in the apple store and there should be an option to click for subscriptions (if you aren’t subscribed to anything you won’t have the option). Once in there, if you have a subscription to Picolo you can click on it and then hit cancel subscription. They don’t give you the option to do so in the app..Version: 2.0.10
✓ How dare youThieves !!! I wasn’t aware of any subscription fee and neither were your hundreds of other customers on google review. I want a refund ! $8 a week for a game I’ve played once. Every other subscription notify’s when taking their monthly payment, you however don’t. Sneaky and absolutely disgusting! I hope you get sued by all the people you have ripped off..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Rip offSaid it was free for three days but got charged, had purchased the packs previously but they changed to subscription instead basically just stealing money. Never updateded money hungry dogs.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Rip offUsed to play this game at uni when it was free and it was an easy and fun drinking game. Got it again one night a couple of weeks ago, played it for about 5 minutes and forgot about it then the premium subscription automatically renewed charging me £4.49 a week for two weeks before I realised. Now it’s past 14 days so I can’t try and get a refund. Who’s paying nearly £5 a WEEK for a group drinking game? Definitely not worth that price..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Unwanted ChargeNote! Very fun game. ALTHOUGH, I was being charged constantly for this game and never signed up for a payment. I repeatedly have tried to cancel the purchase and I cannot!!!! SCAM WARNING.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Keeps Charging MeIt’s a fine game but being charged a monthly fee is ridiculous..Version: 2.1.0
✓ I used to love itThis game was my go-to for a party, my friends and I have been playing almost weekly for 3 years and absolutely love it. Very very disappointed that it now costs almost £4 PER WEEK to play.. would be happy to buy the app but having to sign up for a payment that costs more than my WiFi bill, by the way, is too much. Please Picolo, make it a one time payment of like £5 and be done with it. As I say, I’ve been a huge fan of this game (and had almost everyone I know download it) for a long time. Couldn’t you just input ads to cover costs??? I wouldn’t care. Please reconsider this new approach..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Randomly opens up the appIt’s ok - way overpriced though, like reallllllllly overpriced for what it is. Also, there is a bug where the app will just launch itself when changing apps - I’ve had that a lot when switching to Messages..Version: 2.1.4
✓ My mistakeI didn’t read the rules of the game and Instead just proceeded to drink myself into oblivion. In hind sight, I probably was drinking so much because I am sad. The game probably would be fun, but unfortunately I don’t have friends to play it with. Sometimes I try to play games like this and play multiple roles myself In place of real friends, and occasionally it’s fun... until I come to the realization that only a loser would do that... I’m a loser. A lonely, lamenting loser... but the game does seem cool... 3/5 stars molly.Version: 2.1.4
✓ I have paid for all apps and now being asked to pay again.Hi, I have used this app for several years for many nights out with friends. However, I went to play it tonight and have been requested to pay for every package again when I have already paid for all the separate packages. I understand that the app may be busier now and you would like people to subscribe but I am not happy that a loyal customer who has already paid for all packages is now being told I cannot use the app unless I pay for packages I already have. I hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Murron McKay.Version: 2.1.4
✓ ScamAbsolutely disgusted that they don’t inform you of the $7.99 fee. Everything is displayed as a free app only to later find out its charging $7.99 a week. It’s a fun game if it wasn’t for the money hungry attitude..Version: 2.1.4
✓ 5.99 bi-weekly is ridiculousBought this app thinking it was 5.99.... I’ve been charged 5.99 every two weeks since I got it. Don’t bother upgrading, not worth it.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Taking my moneyDidn’t even buy the extra content and the app started taking money from my bank account! Tried to refund but it didn’t give it back.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Charging me after cancellationThis has happened twice now, I’ve been charged even after subscription cancellation. Not OK!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ WILL NOT LET ME UNSUBSCRIBEConning people into paying a subscription. I cannot find where to unsubscribe. This app is STEALING people’s money..Version: 2.1.2
✓ ScamI had no idea this scam/subscription thing was taking place when you bought an extra category. This is ridiculous and they charged me twice for it!! I bought it in the first place as an ”extra” category of the game (as they sold it) just to try it, without knowing that I would have to pay some kind of subscription fee months later. I got a new phone in December and I don’t even have the application on it. And to be perfectly honest, I’ve moved back to Switzerland where I have absolutely no use of an application in English, but it seems that I can’t do anything about it?!.Version: 2.0.11
✓ Steal ya moneyAbsolute joke of an app. Downloaded it and then deleted it in the same day and it started taking $7.50 a week off my card. What an absolute robbery. Can’t believe they can justify charging people that and still taking money after deleting.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Not worth the $$$The game is a fun and easy drinking game, but I downloaded it when it was still free and barely played it. I noticed I was being charged $5/week for a subscription to access the same content for free without having ever given consent or notice that they were switching to a subscription service. I canceled because there is no way I’m about to pay $5/week for a drinking game I barely use. What an exorbitant amount of money. That’s $260 a year for an APP. There is no way to contact the developers to complain, and I will be attempting to request a refund through Apple, although I doubt I’ll be successful..Version: 2.0.4
✓ This game has fallen from graceWhat used to be a fun party game has now become an obvious money grab. I understand this it’s difficult to make money off of an I’ll like this but charging over a dollar a day is stupid and I would rather not use this app at all. The previous model of having the extra packs cost money was a way better idea. If they wanted more traction, they should have made the premium subscription NON-MANDATORY. At least then I would’ve felt like I had a choice. I also think that if there was more advertising for this app, it would’ve gotten the spotlight it deserved. I loved this app and was recommending it to everyone but now, I’d much rather spend that money on drinks..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Scams you into a subscriptionI’m pretty sure the app was free when I downloaded it, and then suddenly I see that it’s been charging me monthly for some “premium subscription”. There isn’t even anything in the actual app where you can sign up for a subscription. I think I managed to unsubscribe through Apple ID, hopefully won’t be charged again.. I want my money back :(.Version: 2.2.4
✓ FRAUDI downloaded this app about 2 years ago and I paid already $10 to have all the premium game modes. However, 6 months or so ago, it didn’t let me in so I deleted it and downloaded it again. Guess what, now I need to pay again if I want to play the different game modes BUT the quantity is $5 PER WEEK… which of course is insane and NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. There are many free drinking games that undoubtedly are better than this one. Totally not recommend..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Way too expensiveI used to love this app but it’s just completely unaffordable, I can’t afford £5 A WEEK on it for something I might use like one or two times a month and neither can ANY of my friends. If it were that price a month then like all of us would buy it rather than none of us.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Taking Money from my account for 9 months!This game is not even worth the mess I am in now. I called Apple to see why they keep charging me every few days and come to find out that this app has been stealing my money since January! That is $5 every few says for 9 months... I never subscribed to this app. I know I didn’t (I’ve never paid for any app) and you can play for free so why would I pay for it??? I really hope I get all my money back because this is just ridiculous!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ DisgustedI was introduced to this game a few years ago. This was once a game that included minimal offensive prompts and zero racist statements. I was playing this with some friends tonight and we stumbled across something that was completely unreasonable, and definitely not something that was expected by any of us. “Bec, you now have slanted eyes until told otherwise” the worst part was this friend is Asian in nationality and she found this extremely upsetting. I strongly recommend to everyone to avoid playing this game and to cancel any subscriptions for this game until this racism is removed. It was not previously included so I don’t understand why it needs to be now. While I understand that some may find this funny and not disrespectful. It is extremely upsetting and I will not be using this app any longer!!! Absolutely disgusting!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Charging me for months without knowingI downloaded this free app over 6 months ago and did not sign up for any in-app purchases, free trials, or subscriptions. I just found out I have been charged $4.49 per WEEK without knowing for a “premium subscription” to this app. In all I’ve been charged over $200 for an app I used one time. I will now be filing a fraud claim through my credit card company since Apple will not refund the money..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Scam - subscription required nowYou can only use this app for free for a 3 day trial, then an $8 subscription is required. Scam!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Stole my money!I downloaded this for a fun night with my best friends and signed up for the one week trial, which I ended after the first week was up. This app STOLE my debit card info and charged me for the one week rate 3 consecutive times within two days. IT DIDN’T END THERE! They went on to take 2 larger amounts ($60 each) and would’ve continued had I not put a stop to it by disabling my card. I’ll never use this app again. Luckily my bank had my back, because I couldn’t get any response from the developers..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Ridiculous what they chargeI bought this game at the beginning of March probably thinking it would be a one time one night game. Apparently I paid $4.49 and was okay with that at the time only to realize I never deleted the app and have been paying 4.49 a week for this game since March. Over $130 on this app used one time. Ridiculous that the App Store can even charge you weekly for a game. Will not be buying another app from the App Store if this is what they are allowed to do..Version: 2.1.4
✓ ScamRipped off, read the rest of reviews <—>.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Tricks you into subscribingNothing really ethical about this app. Prompts you to pay without noticing, hides the option to unsubscribe. Makes you forget about it because, well you are playing a drinking game..Version: 2.1.1
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADI downloaded this a long time ago because it was a great game. I downloaded it again for fun and weeks later found out that they were charging me $4.49 weekly, sometimes twice in a day. I unsubscribed myself from their subscription on Apple, deleted it. And for some reason thought since I unsubscribed and deleted it, I could download it again without being charged. Nope. Immediately got resubscribed and charged. It’s sad a great game became such a scam..Version: 2.2.4
✓ PatheticI switched iPhones 3 times from and iPhone 5 to iPhone 6s+ now to iPhone X and they expect you to pay for them all everytime you get a new phone once you pay for it that should be it your Apple account should recognise that you have brought it and you should keep getting all the categories on every phone I shouldn’t have to buy them everytime I upgrade my phone.Version: 1.22.1
✓ Sad, the end of an eraI’ve had this game for going on 2 years now and I loved playing it, such an easy ice breaker for new groups of friends. However I’m so disappointed that they developers not only decided to not make it free anymore, but instead of charging a flat one time purchase, are making you subscribe to $5 PER WEEK. I’m sorry for a drinking game that you most likely won’t even play once a week, this is ridiculous. If they ever change back or have a one time purchase price, then maybe I would be back on board. But sadly I won’t be playing this game anymore :(.Version: 2.1.4
✓ DisappointedSneaky developers don’t make it obvious that this app charges $5.99/ week after the 3-day trial expires. They are banking on people being drunk, downloading it and forgetting afterwards. This app used to be free..Version: 2.0.8
✓ What is thisI hate this game, why are the questions so weird and actually don’t make sense??.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Ridiculous PriceThe price for the subscription is absolutely ridiculous, it tells you that you can try the game for free for 3 days but then charges you £4 daily. Don’t bother with the subscription, drinking games shouldn’t be this expensive especially when you don’t use them that regularly. Definitely a scam.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Can’t restore previous purchaseSince they moved to an extortionate subscription model I have not been able to restore my previous purchase of all of the game modes. I made a one time purchase to get all of the game modes I should still be entitled to what I paid for not have it removed because you updated how you charge people for these game modes. Good luck getting people to continue using this now that your prices are a joke..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Exorbitant costI downloaded a free copy and only played a few times with friends. Checked my bank accounts recently and realised I was being charged $7:49 a week. I didn't agree to this subscription service and can't believe the app is charging almost $300 a year. You can't contact the developers to get assistance. I'd avoid downloading..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Give a one time payment option!This shouldn’t be a sub, who’s gonna pay £4.50 a WEEK! Either sell us the whole game as a one of payment of say no more than £20 or let us individually buy the different game modes, i would have spent money on this but instead i’ll just use something else..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Hidden feesThis is a fun drinking game, however I just realized that Picolo has been charging my credit card $5 EVERY WEEK for months. I had no idea I was signed up for an “automatic renewal” and the charge only shows up as “Apple” on your bill so it took lots of googling & digging to figure out what I was being charged for and how to cancel my subscription. To charge $5 A WEEK for a drinking game is ridiculous!!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Great idea ruined by greedThe core app is good, some slight accessibility issues but it’ can be worked around. The pricing is shocking though. No ones having enough parties to justify the premium cost. Please either have a one off payment or don’t make it a recurring subscription. Buying it one off for a week or so at a push is better than what’s there at least. But one off would be much better..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Daylight robberyDO NOT USE THIS APP - they’ll charge you a “premium” service for very little in return - no contact from the developer after numerous complaints makes me believe that this is a front for thievery not entertainment.Version: 2.1.4
✓ This is a scamI got charged 6$ a week for god knows how long for god knows what because I never consented to buying a premium account. Which is awesome. Don’t get this app unless you want to be 6$ poorer per week indefinitely till you cancel it..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Too DrunkI got far too drunk playing this game. Afterwards I slipped into a ‘hangover’ style melt down. One of the challenges given by the app said ‘toss of your dad and then talk about it’. We talk for a long time about some of our issues but ultimately he beat me round the head and forced fed me pcp. While enjoyable, I did feel, while blowing my dad, that somehow Picolo was to blame. Many showers were taken in order to cleanse this horrific event but nothing will wash the shame away. Good night tho. Nice one Picolo..Version: 1.23.1
✓ FRAUD. Charging me $4.50 a WEEK FOR 3 YEARS.Never in my life have I written a review for an app before but this is so ridiculous I have to warn other people. I just found hidden in my apple subscriptions that this game has been charging me $4.50 a week for the past three years. I downloaded this game ONCE. I never signed up for a subscription nor did I ever intend to. I haven’t had this app on my phone since god knows when, I didn’t even remember what it was when I finally saw the charges. I’ve tried to find contact info for the game developer and it is nowhere to be found. Apple has informed me they cannot refund me unless it’s within 30 days of purchase and didn’t seem to care at all that this game has been charging me UNKNOWINGLY. BEWARE OF THIS GAME AND THE DEVELOPER. I’m suing. Bye..Version: 2.3.1
✓ HORRIBLEDo NOT download. It’s a scam..Version: 2.2.4
✓ SCAMDon’t buy any subscriptions for this app. I’ve payed over $100 on a subscription that I assumed was monthly but was $8.99 a WEEK. Absolute SCAM.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Honest ReviewThe questions are great however, some of them are a little homophobic, racist and fat phobic. Would be a lot better if they used “they” instead of “he or she” and didn’t discriminate against weight or race. Unfortunately still the best drinking game though..Version: 2.1.4
✓ SCAMWatch out. I was charged 7.99 a week without realising for several weeks after apparently subscribing. In the process of trying to get my money back. Make sure you are careful and after playing the game then check for any subscriptions..Version: 2.1.4
✓ WARNING: YOUR MONEY WILL GET TAKEDO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU DONT WANT TO PAY something wrong with their user experience they sign you up to a free trial without you every realising and then suddenly 4.49 is disappearing from your account. And you cannot get it back. Took me a few weeks to notice the money coming out before I cancelled so lost a fair bit for a game I do not use..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Y’all think ur slickImagine haha.Version: 2.3.1
✓ QueryHi there, Wanting to know why the app has billed me & taken money out of my account after downloading it lastnight & uninstalling the app just minutes after? Before uninstalling I made sure I unsubscribed and it still shows that I have already unsubscribed. However I woke up to money being taken out of my account for this app. No 3-day trial whatsoever? Quite disappointed.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Instead of weekly or membership it should be foreverI should be able to enjoy the full version of the game and not pay weekly or monthly for it. I’d rather pay a one off payment and unlock the content forever but not being overpriced. Otherwise 5 stars.Version: 2.2.4
✓ ExpensivePretty much $80 subscription to get drunk pretty ridiculous price for a simple app too overpriced would recommend offer of $2 - $3 because it’s so overpriced at least make a default version with no update’s would be less deceiving compared to pay every month for single update that may not happen. Make something at least for people that ther than your own financial state. GREEDY.Version: 2.0.9
✓ TrialI accidentally clicked on the free trial, and now I’m wondering how to delete, as I don’t want my credit card getting charged. Help.Version: 2.0.9
✓ OverchargedCharged my account without any action from me.Version: 2.2.4
✓ The App Changed Their Subscription PriceI used to love to play Picolo with my friends. It was a go-to for years. The premium version of the game was $5 or $10 to buy, I forget exactly how much, but once you bought it you didn’t have to pay a subscription. They changed this and are now charging $5 A WEEK for the game. The worst thing about it is I didn’t realize until now and have been charged $20 for the past couple of weeks. The free version will have to do, $5 a week for a game that I can’t even play with my friends now due to COVID is absurd..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Do not download until they change subscription modelNo one in their right mind would pay $5 per WEEK intentionally for this game. They are clearly scamming people who accidentally start a subscription or forget to stop the free trial. The game is fun but this model is outrageous. Also, if you’re gonna make me pay that much per week for decks, please remove the Facebook challenges which are a pathetic attempt of advertising the scam on social media. If you work at this company, you are well aware of the scam that is being conducted. Check out how many reviews are saying the same thing as this one. Scum bags!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ DO NOT BUY FROM MARMELAPPThis game has a premium option that had a one time payment when I purchased it awhile back. recently out of nowhere I started getting charged $5 a week from Marmelapp. I was never notified of this change and am attempting to get a refund for the passed 2 months! This flew completely under the radar, I used to love this game but the company is scummy for this. And I saw on google plenty of others with the same experience! Absolutely DO NOT BUY from Marmelapp!.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Don’t trust 3 days weren’t freeDisappointed that I was charged immediately and didn’t have 3 days free. I just wanted to try it and it wasn’t suited to what we were looking for!!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Good but needs improvementsIt was fun, however it seemed to choose the same people a lot. Need to mix that up. Also, some questions too tame and some just a bit heavy like hitting on friends partners tsk tsk.Version: 1.23.1
✓ Taking money without my KnowledgeLike many other reviews, I downloaded this game while hanging out with my friends. I only played it once and it was pretty cool. HOWEVER!! I just found out that they’ve been charging me $4.89 A WEEK for a subscription I didn’t agree to. The subscription charges weren’t automatic, according to my Apple receipts payments started months after I originally downloaded the app. I truly think this game is a scam tactic & don’t recommend anyone to download it..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Stole from meI had this app on my phone and rarely used it, nor would I ever subscribe to anything on the app. I recently discovered that they were charging me $6 a week for a subscription I never subscribed to. Do not download, and if you already have it downloaded, check your subscriptions because you might be getting scammed like I did..Version: 2.3.1
✓ This app WILL CHARGE YOU WEEKLY even if you choice the “free” optionHello, I have had the Picolo app downloaded on my phone for a few years and I recently opened it up op to play with some friends. The next 2 weeks I had $4.85 charged on my credit card. When I followed up with Apple I discovered that this app had signed me up for weekly subscriptions even though I chose the “free” option. I had to call Apple and get the charged refunded and then go and unsubscribe for a subscription I had never signed up for. SHADY..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Scam - Charges a weekly feeThis app had taken £4.49 out of my account every week for three months. At no point in the downloading of the app was it made clear this was purchased on a subscription basis. I was under the impression it was a one time payment. To charge a subscription fee for something you use once in a blue moon is completely non-sensical and in fact seems to be a down right scam. This should be made much clearer upon purchase. One star is too generous but zero doesn’t appear to be an option..Version: 2.1.3
✓ SUBSCRIPTIONWhen I subscribed as a premium member they stated that I was able to unsubscribe at any point. I have had the app for 1 year no and although the game is a blast I am quite upset that I have been charged an exceeding about of money for a game I no longer do find fun in after it has costed me a lot of money where I’ve had to take out loans to get by. $7.99 isn’t a lot to some people but every 2weeks I am charged this and it all adds up. I would t recommend at all and the service is terrible I have had no help even though I have asked their customer service for help over the last few months yet still no response.Version: 2.1.4
✓ 5.99 a week!!!Do not be fooled! This isn’t a one off payment - it is a subscription. I downloaded it last year and the add-on’s were a one off.... not anymore!! Luckily I cancelled after the first week (hopefully). Be careful!!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Very confusing and scam likelyDownloaded this app to have a good time with friends. Ended up getting scammed into subscribing and paying 5.99 every 2 weeks. Don’t download..Version: 2.2.4
✓ DO NOT PURCHASE SUBSCRIPTIONTheres no way to cancel. Ive been getting robbed :).Version: 2.2.4
✓ SCAMDo NOT download this app. IT IS A SCAM. After three days an automatic subscription started for me which cost 4.49 GBP PER WEEK. I only found out that this was happening two months later so the app had sneakingly got almost 60 pounds from me without me ever authorizing anything. Contacted apple and thankfully they were able to at least provide a refund of 35 pounds and I’m trying to obtain a full refund at the moment. Also worst thing is I may have used this app once throughout the whole time I had downloaded it and I had a premium subscription I didn’t even know about. Would have rated 0/5 stars if there was an option - be careful so that the same thing doesn’t happen to you.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Charges every weekThe game is fun, but nothing you can’t find on google with a quick “drinking game prompts” search. It charges every week and is over $20 for the month. The app also won’t let you access your account. It lets you add people for the game, change the language or rate the app. So they even make it convoluted to access your account to cancel as well. I’ve never had an app that won’t let you access any sort of settings (other than language) in the app itself..Version: 2.3.1
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADAbsolute scam!!! Can use for free initially, after which point you’ll be charged $11 per month, even after unsubscribing!!! F******* criminal!!!! Should not be on the App Store!!!.Version: 2.0.10
✓ SCAMMED for £4.49 per week!! Don’t buy!!Bought this app a few months ago and used it a couple of times, pretty decent. However, I was confused as to why £4.49 was being taken out of my account every week, it turns out Picolo automatically charge you that amount with a WEEKLY subscription that they don’t tell you about nor give you the option to opt-out. Absolute disgrace and in no way is this app worth the money - ITS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN NETFLIX!!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Horrible now.This game used to be free. This game used to have a nice UI. This game used to be nice to play. This game used to be great. Avoid now. It’s a rip off..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Used to be the perfect game!Been using this as a go-to drinking game for years but in the recent update they’ve changed the (x) amount of sips to “penalty”. There’s no numerical penalties anymore and I feel it ruins the pace of the game as also takes away the risk reward for doing certain penalties..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Swindling OwnershipDon’t get this game. I had zero (0) idea that there was a WEEKLY fee after a free trial. Ofcourse it is my obligation to read and sign the agreement, but after looking at my charge, it seems the game devs/producers of the app were looking for people who were already buzzed/drinking to agree to something in an effort to swindle the consumers to agreeing to something they weren’t prepared for. I can’t figure out how to unsubscribe and I will be deleting this app and looking out for any app produced by these scummy rats.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Subscription?!Somehow ended up paying a $7.49 WEEKLY subscription. How ridiculous! I did not even have the app loaded on my phone and was unable to unsubscribe for over a week as it was not allowing me too.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Subscription Based and ExtortionateMy mates have owned this game for a while now and Ive since moved cities and wanted to show some of my new friends. Ive never bought the game but Ive played the full version and it is great fun. I was more than willing to spend the $9 that was the previous price to unlock all of the games but the subscription prices are ridiculous. 2 star rating because it’s moderately fun with the 1 free game but it also bombards you with ads and gets old pretty quick. As with a lot of people I’d buy the full game if you go back to the old billing system..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Rip OffHave been playing Picolo for years and love the app, but recently the pricing has become ludicrous and unfair. I bought the extra packs several years ago and was under the impression that was a one time payment. Recently the app has moved to a subscription model and the pricing is insanely expensive for what the app offers. I suggest the developers seriously rethink this pricing model. $75/year is just robbery (nearly $400/year if you pay by week!). Very disappointed, I won’t be using Picolo until this is sorted out..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Money scam!I downloaded the game a month ago that was advertised as a free game to play and it has been taking £4.49 EVERY week since!!! I’ve ended up paying £20 for a game I’ve played once!!! Make sure when you download you don’t unknowingly pay a weekly contract. Absolute scam, they should advise you and make it clear of what you’re signing up for before you pay! Awful, especially during times like these you shouldn’t trick people into paying ridiculous money for a silly game. Do better..Version: 2.2.4
✓ The Cost of FunThis is by far one of the best drinking game apps out there, however there is no justification to charging £4.50 a week to access all the modes. I understand that nothing is free and would happily make a 1 time payment but this feels like an insane price for the content you get when there are similar far cheaper options out there.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Great game, too overpricedLook, this is a fantastic game. But charging a subscription fee is ridiculous. Most people don’t drink regularly enough to justify that amount of money. A one off payment would make more sense..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Didn’t tell me it was charging meI was unaware that this app charged at all- and I understand it’s my obligation to read all print, but I was not given any notification that I was being charged. I was not prompted to confirm a payment or anything of the sort at any time. I only found out by checking my bank account. I used to recommend this game to friends at get togethers, but after this I will never recommend this app or any others by this developer again. I’m currently trying to figure out how to cancel any subscription I was apparently agreed to (I don’t even know if I was signed up for a weekly, monthly etc. subscription or just a one time charge) but I’m struggling to even find anywhere on the app to do such a thing. As soon as I figure that out it’s getting deleted for good. I have paid for apps before- I have no problem with paying for a quality app; but I will not support being unknowingly charged..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Scam fee - don’t download!Look its a good game but they are criminals with the subscription fee. At no warning I just got charged twice a fee of $7.49, $14 bucks for no reason, I didn’t even accept the subscription! I want my money back, this shouldn’t be legal..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Lost $40 or so bucks unknowninglyDownloaded this app probably over a year ago, been using it periodically for free, all good. Next time I went to use it in lockdown I apparently subscribed to a service (don’t recall this, and looks like it’s happened to a few others here). Shocked to see $7.99 flying out my account every week! Avoid. Seems like they’ve been on a scam since the coronavirus meant everyone was more likely to play..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Stole my moneyDO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!! Screw this app. I’ve had it for years for free and have always loved it. As soon as I saw you started a subscription charge, I deleted it. I NEVER agreed to be a part of the subscription. Apple will only refund me half of the money stolen from you. You have stolen $42 from me without my permission..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Charged!!!!!!!!My daughter did not sign up for a subscription and has been charged $4.80 a week for the past YEAR!!!!!! I had contacted Apple on a couple of occasions because I was unsure what the fees were- and nothing showed under my subscriptions. Unfortunately, it was under my daughters account and I couldn’t see it. I can not find the company online anywhere! I’m appalled! The app was downloaded once for fun and maybe used one or two more times, but OVER $200 in charges!!!!!!!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU DOWNLOAD THIS! It was fun for a minute, but they snuck in such small charges that I barely noticed! So frustrating!!!!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ JOKESeriously, $5.99 per week? Not worth it at all. Friend got this app for free a while back, not anymore!.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Scammer mentalityPlease read! Loved the game side of the app, been using it since it was free to use. Recently they got money hungry and charge for a basic game. They hide it behind a “free month” at which you believe its going to cost $7.99 a month after. What makes me mad is they know the state of which people are when they play the game ie: drinking and forgetful and they prey on this. I was then stunned to find out that they were charging me $7.99 A WEEK for this app. Truly a scam, this would make it one of the most expensive apps on the store with literally 0 need to use it and I would be shocked for people using this app all week, every week. So basically they know you are drunk, get you signed up and then hide their chi rages behind an “apple charge” which comes through as a normal invoice from apple which most assume it’s for apples storage services etc. Was not impressed making the started game paid and charging people that much for it. Will not be using again..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Bait and switch not worth the $4.99 per week “subscription”Played this with friends and was such a fun game that I had to buy it. Like most apps it gives you a free trial and I saw in the fine print a fee of $4.99 afterwards which I was happy to pay. Heck I would have paid more. What I didn’t realize was it subscribes you to a WEEKLY fee of $4.99. I work in digital marketing and this is the lowest form of a bait and switch. You need to fire your marketing team and care more for your clients or this will be a great idea with a poor reputation. Perception is reality in marketing and you have a lot of work to do on yours..Version: 2.2.4
✓ ScamThis app is terrible. Downloaded to play years ago and then suddenly charged a weekly subscription fee without warning. Do not download this game, it’s not even that fun anyway..Version: 2.3.1
✓ $5.99 a week. Save your moneyIt’s a $5.99 a week game. That’s right a week. Over $300 a year just to play this game. Go buy a PC or console if you’re gonna spend over $300 for a game. Yeah. Just for A game. ONE. SINGULAR. NOT PLURAL. But people are stupid. Somebody will get it and knowing that makes me lose faith in humanity..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Game is fun, but BEWARE!!I have 14 charges on my acct since September. I downloaded and played the game 1 time!! As I said, I’ve received 14... yes, you read that correctly, I have been charged $4.76, FOURTEEN TIMES since September. I have tried everything to contact the developer or admins of this app., to no avail. I’m so upset & they leave me no choice, but to leave a bad review. I have given ample time and tried everything to give them the opportunity to correct this. Nobody should be this impossible to reach. At this point, I am sorry to say, I would NOT trust them!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Scammed meI’ve been using the app for free for a while and when I logged in recently it signed me up for a 5$ per week subscription. I’ve contacted Apple and Picolo to try and cancel and there’s nowhere I can. Such a scam and illegal to not give options to unsubscribe in the app..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Cannot opt out of free trailApp makes it impossible to find out how to cancel the free trial before the 3 days are up. Even the support link dose t work very disappointing.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Not a great gameWe started the free trial thinking that the cost of £4.50 a week was a huge cost but it might be good but it was a terrible game. Not even really a game but just random questions that everyone could come up with themselves. Not a great game at all and especially if you ended up paying £20 a month for it!!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Subscription is stupid money grabWe play Picolo all the time with friends. Recently we went to purchase since we like variety and realized that the only way to unlock other games was to pay $50 annually. This is unfortunate as we were prepared to pay up to $10 for this game which seems reasonable. We thought about doing the free trial but feared forgetting to cancel the membership only to be charged $234 for 52 weeks. Please be reasonable when pricing out your subscriptions, this price point is a bit crazy..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Rip offWas under the assumption I was paying a one off fee of $7.49 for the game. Low and behold I revisit an rarely used bank account where I leave my savings and where my Apple ID is connected and I’ve been getting charged every few weeks!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Racist, Anti-Asian Stereotypes Present in This GameIn a section titled “virus”, the first turn prompts the player to speak in a Chinese accent. Later on in this section, the player is told they have bad manners, while they’re still supposed to be “speaking in a Chinese accent.” A few turns later, the player is asked to stop using a Chinese accent. Immediately after, the next card points out that your manners have improved. It is shameful to see this language used and behaviour encouraged, especially considering the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes across the U.S. Do better..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Automatically subscribedI downloaded the app for free and when I opened it it was all fine and everything was working ok. A couple days later I opened it again and it was exactly the same nothing came up about starting a subscription and there was no Apple Pay thing that came up at the bottom. I then noticed an email from Apple saying I had subscribed and it had taken £4.49 out of my account. I did not authorise this and before you think “it’s a drinking game, are you sure you weren’t drunk?” No I only opened it to have a look at what it was like to see if it was worth playing that weekend with a couple mates. Good game, but not worth £4.49 a week..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Starting to ScamI bought this app YEARS ago for a one time fee. It was a fun party game suggested by a friend. It had some in app purchases for different themes and what not, but mostly played it as it came. Recently, I’ve noticed that I’ve been receiving a lot of notifications from my bank with Apple. I was just checking subscriptions to see if I missed canceling something and I noticed this app was now a subscription. I NEVER received communication regarding this. Will be contacting Apple about this as well. Do not purchase unless you want to spend $20 a month..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Garbo questionsI’ve really enjoyed this game but I’ve been noticing how awful some of the questions/prompts that pop up are. Like the one that says “would you rather have cork for arms or adopt a blind person?” As if having a blind person in your life or in your care is some terrible hypothetical that people wouldn’t want. Or the prompt to list out who has hooked up with “the most disgusting women”. These prompts & questions made me and my friends incredibly uncomfortable and as a result I will be deleting this app..Version: 2.2.1
✓ SCAM! Do not make my mistake!This is a scam! After 4 days the free trial ended and started charging me £4.49 a WEEK even after I deleted the app! You have to cancel the subscription in a long convoluted way for them to stop charging you! The game itself wasn’t great the same people keep being chosen not giving others a turn and 80% of the options are bland! We honestly had more fun just making up our own! An all over horrific experience which comes with a huge hefty price tag! Please do not make my mistake and down load this app!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Charges you without telling youI downloaded this app a couple of days ago because I’ve enjoyed playing it on other friends’ phones. The app description mentions a subscription to get access to premium content, however it doesn’t say anywhere that it will automatically sign you up for a subscription when you download it. There is nowhere in the app itself to unsubscribe, you have to go in through the App Store to actually get out of the subscription which is ridiculous..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Scam!I downloaded this app to try for 1 day and then unsubscribed and deleted it off of my phone. I am still being charged!!.Version: 2.2.4
✓ ScamHas “3 day free trial” charged me after 2 days, and trying to charge $8 a week, complete rip off targeting people drinking, so they forget about it until lost lots of money.Version: 2.1.4
✓ RidiculousWhy do we have to pay just to play games what’s this world coming too? Some people don’t have the money to be spending that a month pretty sure the creator is just hungry for money the poor people who don’t earn much money have to pay a month it’s not cool every app these days either he ads or you gotta pay it really needs to be free im mean the app can cost but anything else shooting be free.Version: 2.0.10
✓ Minus 1 star!It automatically charges your account every week! They took almost $100 from me! I deleted the app and it still took money from my account!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Randomly downloaded on phone?I don’t even remember downloading this app, it wasn’t there a day ago and all of a sudden this app is on my phone? I’m reading the reviews saying they’re being charged £5 a week, which is a complete scam. Do not download, no idea how this app even landed on my phone..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Rip offDon’t even bother it’s such a rip off, ridiculous price for a few questions that you can make up in your head..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Outrageous pricingI didn’t realize I was paying $5 a week. Sometimes I wouldn’t have money in that account so I was getting charged an extra $30 fee for the bank covering it. I essentially was paying $35 a WEEK for an app I use maybe once a month. Ridiculous!! I tried to give the app a second chance. Downloaded it again to use the free version. I ended up paying another $15 cause it re subscribed when I got the app again. Waste of money. Total scam..Version: 2.1.0
✓ What is with the subscription??I bought the full version of Picolo about 2 years ago. Have been using it almost every weekend since. Why all of a sudden do I have to pay a subscription to access all the games I had previously paid for???? Absolutely ridiculous.Version: 2.2.4
✓ ScamI tried the free trial and still got charged.Version: 2.2.4
✓ ScamEven tho I unsubscribed and have removed app I still pay the monthly fee and have to keep requesting refunds for it. Not worth the money not worth the monthly effort to try get a refund..Version: 2.1.3
✓ I want my money backIt said I could do a 3 day free trial before paying the money which I agreed to because I wanted to see if it was worth the money, but the second I agreed - it charged my account even though I should’ve been under the 3 day free trial because I cancelled the subscription in less than a day but still got charged. Not happy. I want my money back. Now..Version: 2.1.4
✓ VoleursL’application s’abonne automatiquement la la subscription de semaine 6,99$. Ca ma fait ca à moi et une amie donc je ne recommande pas avec les taxes ca reviens à 16$ sans ton consentement.Version: 2.2.4
✓ YoYo molto buono.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Developers ruined the game with subscriptionsI’ve been using this game with friends for over three years and I loved it! It was a lot of fun and worth paying £8 for the premium features. I started the game up again only to see that they’re now charging £4 a week or £13 a month which gave me a bigger laugh than the game ever has. I can’t say I’ll ever be using this game again and I can’t justify the price for a few hours of drinking games every once in a while..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Will charge you 4 times a month and never notify you that you are being chargedWould like a refund since this never gave me a notification that it was charging me and it charged me at least 4 times in a single month. Deleted the cursed app immediately! I don’t recommend ever downloading this unless you want to be charged profusely for something you never bought..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Waste of moneyI have hella bank, but this was NOT worth it. I thought I would surely get with a girl for the first time through Piccolos help, but no luck. 😠 Liam Kilmister of Wellington NZ.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Used to be goodUsed to be a great game with a one time payment option of £8 for everything, but now it’s just a shill for the developers to be greedy and con people out of their money for £4.49 a week! How can they justify people spending £200+ a year on a game that gets no updates, no new packs, and is just quite repetitive after a couple of plays. But hey that’s capitalism for ya..Version: 2.3.1
