Scattergories for Negative User Reviews

✓ Great game but some bugsI love this game & it's very addictive but there are a few bugs that make it annoying. Firstly I keep getting a message when I open it that I have an account conflict & that I have 2 accounts. I have only ever had the 1 player account. Secondly, when I went to play one of the competitions- Party Yellow, I was sitting on over 1000 points when I closed it the night before but then when I went back the next day, all my points were gone & I was back down the bottom of the ladder which was frustrating because I was close to achieving a frame. Plus my progress isn't saved in the VIP levels & when there is a new VIP game, I go right back to the start of the progress bar even though I may have won 3 previous VIP games..JashavanVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Advert durationGame play is good but advertisements are too long. 1 minute and 30 seconds of game play followed by 30 seconds of adverts, some times more than one advert. Very infuriating. Lessens the overall experience down. I understand the need for adverts, but after only playing a handful of rounds I feel more inclined to delete the app rather than be forced to buy the full app just to avoid frustration..JlxopoVersion: 1.6.9

✓ FrançaisJ’adore jouer à ce jeu en vrai dommage qu’il ni est pas de version française.JesamyxavwilVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Don’t waste your timeThis game is barely functional. It crashes regularly, coins disappear, coins don’t regenerate, correct answers aren’t accepted and obviously incorrect answers are accepted. I’ve seen my coins just vanish, and then counted down for new ones, only to see the amount of coins I have stay at zero. I stupidly paid to not have to watch ads, then, because of my coins disappearing, found myself watching ads - only to not get any rewards at the end of the ad. If you enjoy the board game Scattergories, chances are you’ll just end up incredibly frustrated with this app..Nicknametaken123456789101112Version: 1.5.1

✓ Fun but frustrating as all heckScattergories is a fun game, however this app makes it fairly unpleasant. 1. The ads every fives seconds... ads are fine on free games but I was watching more ads than playing. 2. After I exit the ad I can’t see what my score was for the match and what words I scored. I want to know the results. 3. The keyboard likes to pretend you didn’t hit a key and change your word... okay just awesome... terrible keyboard, lags a lot. Yeah if those things get fixed, heck I might play it again. For now I’m deleting. Bye Felicia ✌🏻.Lauren or lozVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Too many adsAfter every turn there is an ad and there is no option for me to skip the ad after 5-10 seconds so I have to sit through the whole ad. It’s not only after my quick turn but even when I click on the menu button it plays an ad also which is the full length ad. I know people just buy the app to stop the ads but I actually like to test the game out to see if I want to spend money on it but so far I can’t even get into the game with all these ads. Please get a skip button so you can skip through the ad so at least people can try it out to see if it’s worth playing..Not happy with lagsVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Great game lots of glitches thoughVery enjoyable game , however there are soo many times it struggles to connect which almost puts me off playing. The other frustrating thing is the answers are very American based for example if you give the name of a university anywhere other than America it comes up as wrong .the glitches really need sorting or people will stop playing.TheximummaVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Don’t like the updateI really don’t like the new update where all the challenges are in different sections. It’s so unnecessary and just over complicates the app layout and disrupts the user journey, if anything there should just be two sections one for single player and one for playing with friends for example.Savanna124Version: 1.7.7

✓ Love the game but kicks you out a lotToo bad because it kicks you out after you’ve gone through the challenge..Watkingirl1Version: 1.6.3

✓ Badly setup, inhibits fun playThe app is badly setup in terms of playing with friends. Games take ages to go through to your friends and sometimes the results get lost if an add pops up. Would be much better if it was live games at the same time as friends, I don’t see any reason why it’s not..DuggsydaresVersion: 1.6.3

✓ FrustratingThe game itself is as old as the hills and I’ve always loved it but this app is so frustrating! Firstly it’s VERY Americanised, so many answers I’ve used that are legitimate UK answers but it just doesn’t recognise them, similarly a lot of the questions are only geared to a US market I.e. US airline or US game show. Also and this is my biggest problem is that I don’t have Facebook (yes they do exist) so I play a duel with a random person - that’s fine - however to do so costs 30 coins and even if you win you still pay that out so your coins NEVER increase! You end up only being able to play 3 - 4 games per session and that’s it! Crazy.Eva70217Version: 1.5.1

✓ Don’t bother with thisYou’ve ruined my fav game. Like previous review it’s all American also doesn’t recognise plurals or miss spelling. Half the fun of writing the answers is it doesn’t matter how you spell a word as you all read them out in turn and then have a fun ‘discussion’ whether your answer is too ‘way out’ and if the group will allow it or not. I have deleted it as you probably will too!.Mzlapqtyghvb105629Version: 1.5.1

✓ Poor functionalityThe game doesn’t function as it should, written answers forgotten with many valid answers being marked as incorrect. Shame, Scattergories in person with pen and paper is class..JamieflyinhighVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Very US centricGood game but can be frustrating at its very American . I don’t know any American game shows . The game wouldn’t except “ the nutcracker “ as a popular fairytale and won’t accept Elizabeth Chadwick as an author and also doesn’t like welsh names . Have disputed through the app but 12 months on and they are still not accepted answers.Natters111Version: 1.7.6

✓ I grew up playing this. This app is awful!So for starters answers are 10 here and not 1. Getting two words starting with the same letter does nothing. But a “unique” answer will be worth 12... No explanation on what unique is. Half the time it’s wrong. I put jasmine and my opponent put jen. We both got 0 for DUPLICATE ANSWERS?! No dispute option. Sometimes you get a dispute option but this doesn’t actually dispute squat as the winner has been awarded and the game will never be brought back up again. So it’s an “error” button that isn’t even available half the time you should be able to dispute it. I even got an answer censored for vulgarity when I answered “big black rocks”... for space objects. ROCKS. Big black rocks! Censored. This game is a joke and idk HOW it has so many good reviews. It’s nothing like the game and the automated system for scoring is broken. The game is more about what answer will the program accept. I even had it award my opponent and say mine wasn’t qualified when their answer had no relation to the question. It was a random word and they won..XCALLxMExACExVersion: 1.6.6

✓ Less ads !!!Fun game but there’s an ad like literally every 30 seconds also the category answers are super old and you don’t get enough coins.Andie.17Version: 1.6.6

✓ Good but needs workGreat game. Lots of bugs. Doesn’t use the keyboard your phone has and the keyboard the game provides is very slow. It takes pressing a key 3-4 times to make it work. Very obnoxious. It’ll also say that you have a duplicate answer with someone but none of the other players played your answer. The most obnoxious is when you're playing against 3 other people, you tie for first but it says you lost and they give the win to the other player. No rhyme or reason as to why. No tie breaker or no splitting the winnings. Pretty frustrating All in all fun idea but needs better developers to fix some issues.Kab82083759201Version: 1.3.6

✓ Good game with a few major issuesGood game all in all, but a few buggy issues 1st - as other users mentioned the keyboard... needs work... wasting time going back to fix missed letters. 2nd - when you watch an add my iPad goes black and I have to back out of the game and go in. 9 times out of 10 this happens making it very frustrating to play 3rd - points system is a bit off... there should be higher rewards people aren’t willing to spend their hard earned dollars if they aren’t gettin anything in return for it. 4th - disputes take way too long to get resolved. It is a good game but there are so many ways to get around the scoring... people just throw any word in there and it can be autocorrected by the system to make it a correct answer..KxkenvghVersion: 1.3.5

✓ Last update is brokenWAS a fun game. Latest update is stupid-glitchy. I’m deleting and hoping for another update.😕.Hobbes1185Version: 1.6.4

✓ Too much time having to watch publicities in order to playGood game but wayyy too much publicity! And hard to earn enough coins to keep playing without having to spend real money. By the speed my coins bank melt, it would be the same with my money. A French version would be great !.Genevieve.cbVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Good concept, terrible app, too many issues.1) the accuracy and responsiveness of the in-game keyboard leaves much to be desired. In a timed game, you need to be able to type quick and clean. 2) the accuracy of the answers is somewhat ridiculous. It's hit or miss most of the time whether your correct answer will be accepted. Plus nonsense answers are accepted quite often. 3) far too many ads. I totally understand and accept the use of ads in a free app. But with this you're forced to watch a 20-30 second video after virtually every round. Love the game Scattergories, but this app is lacking in many areas. Edited and lowered to 1 star. 4) In just a few days ads are now 60 seconds and appear after every other match. Way overkill. 5) The rewards for wins are arbitrary and ridiculous. You pay 30 coins to play a single match duel. You generally don't win any coins, but in game boosts instead. Which means no matter how good you are, your play time is quite limited unless you spend money to purchase coins. 6) I played six matches today and four of them "randomly" picked the letter i and the other two picked k. Unless you use those boosts, of which you can only use one per match no matter how many you have, can you name an American game show or beginning with i? Yeah, I couldn't either..Zeebo_00Version: 1.3.7

✓ Changes some answersThere have been answers I put in and it changes them like for instance I had just put Russia as an answer and it went through as that but when checking the answers once the round had finished it said I had put run? That’s not the only time this has happened, it would be a great game and I enjoy playing if it wasn’t for that.Puppykin25Version: 1.7.0

✓ Not goodThis game is pretty bad... - you are forced to use their own keyboard which is soooo slow, you have to press the keys really hard - most games are rigged - you play against a bot in duel mode and it clearly shows the person only completed 2 questions, but then when you view the results it shows they completed all 5 !?!?!? - the same boring categories show up over and over and over and over again... like seriously, how can they not have thousands of different topics by now??? Nope, you get the same boring topics every time like “Greek mythological creatures” *lame* Do not recommend. It’s a shame, the concept is so good but they made it so terrible..Torontogirl82Version: 1.6.3

✓ Fun game but a few problems.First off, I’ve been looking forward to seeing an online version of this game for iOS. When I saw it was free, that made it better. It is definitely fun to play.....But, the problems I have seen so far....when reviewing your answers after playing a game, sometimes what you entered as An answer and the answer displayed are different with one or two blank at letters misspelled. The biggest problem I have is after playing for awhile, I got tired of the ads. So, I purchased the remove ads feature for $2.99. So far, after continuing to play, every ad still plays. Nothing was removed. I paid money to get rid of one of the few things about this game that annoys me and it did nothing but take the money. I enjoy playing but get mad that I pay for something that does nothing. It would definitely get a higher rating if that were fixed..BertajuiceVersion: 1.3.7

✓ Way too repetitiveIf you play this any more than a few dozen times, it is way too repetitive. The same categories show up over and over and over. It gets real boring real quick. Too bad, because it would be a great game if there were more variety..Noname nonaVersion: 1.6.6

✓ FrustratingOne of my favourite games which I play a lot. However it is very frustrating as there are too many glitches, crashes and now……connection issues!.KarenRavenVersion: 1.6.11

✓ Good game but have to tap pay to disable ads every timeEven though you don’t have to pay every time you still have to go through the process. It also doesn’t seem to remember details like name and previous history..NadznzVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Database too smallScattergories has the potential to be a great app. Unfortunately there are some problems. One is that it rejects answers that are not in any way obscure. I answered “My Brilliant Friend” as an answer to the name of a book category. It was not misspelled, it was not a plural and it did not start with an article. It is a popular novel (popular enough to be made into a Netflix series.) Scattergories rejected this answer several months ago and I disputed it. Tonight I used the same answer primarily to see what would happen. It rejected it again. Even worse, and although Scattergories usually accepts last names only, it has rejected Kelly (as in Gene) as a movie actor, and Domingo (as in Placido) as a famous singer and (the big one) Harrison (as in George ⁉️) as a famous singer. It obviously needs a larger database from which to check answers. The other thing I don’t like about the app is the extremely limited number of categories. The board game has many more than the app. It would be great to see some new ones from time to time..Floria TosaVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Could be betterRidiculous amount of adds. A few less and I will give it 5!.Hamman33Version: 1.4.0

✓ Fun but...Keyboard is too hard to use.. Should just be standard phone keyboard. Too hard on spelling should be more lenient on small mistakes.Sammayr0seVersion: 1.0

✓ Terrible ads and coin system!I stupidly paid $2.99 to get out of watching an ad after every game, which was incredibly annoying. What I didn’t realize at the time, was the stupid coin system to even play the game. Each game costs coins and you only get coins by winning, watching ads or paying. So if you’re not winning every single game you will eventually run out of coins and be forced to either pay for more or watch ads for more. I know I should have done more research before paying the $2.99 but I still feel ripped off. I’ve now paid to play a game without being forced to watch ads that I will eventually not be able to play without being forced to watch ads or pay more money. Enjoy my $2.99, Magmic. Because the second I run out of coins, I’m deleting this app. I will not be spending another cent on coins and you will not be getting any ad revenue from me..CracyLouVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Changes my answersA few times I have entered a completely legible answer, only for the game to change my word entirely and make me miss out on a point. Can you not just let me keep the answers I actually put in?? You don’t notice the game ‘autocorrects’ your answer until actually viewing the results..FobsessionVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Ok but could be betterGames are good fun and I enjoy the game as a whole. However the keyboard is very slow to respond when your typing. Also you can only play against friends if you have Facebook which some people don’t have.TessabelleVersion: 1.3.7

✓ It changes answersI get than an app version of the game can create challenges that aren’t there when you play with an actual group of people but it’s still very frustrating. The game will deliberately miss spell my words. For example I spelled the word cars for something that’s at a gas station. When I later reviewed my answers it was changed to cans. It is very difficult to type on the keyboard. It is not accurate but even when I type something correctly, the answer is still changed at the end of the game. They need to fix this and accept spelling as is. Even if that means people spell the words wrong. Otherwise the game is fun but this is the most frustrating part that they need to fix.PianogaljsuVersion: 1.3.8

✓ Great but annoyingEnjoy the game and getting the brain thinking, however a bit frustrating at times as points are awarded for wrong answers, losing points because it doesn’t recognise your answer plus many other things..KiwinailerVersion: 1.6.3

✓ One of my favorite games but...Scattergories is one of my favorite games. The main issue I have with this game and the reason I gave this game 3 stars is the keyboard. The keyboard in this game is different than the one used for texting... they have their own keyboard. I find myself having to go back and enter answers again because a letter didn’t work. You have to be precise with this game in order to enter a correct answer... and you are on a time limit. So a lot of time is spent going back and having to revise answers. Also you are limited as to how many games you can play unless you pay for the app. Other than that, the game is enjoyable..Dmcblue2020Version: 1.5.1

✓ Xenophobic and condones animal abuseThis game is so US-centric it’s xenophobic. Categories include US gameshow, US airline and many correct answers in other categories (such a mammals, chain stores and TV shows) are marked incorrect if they are not American (yak, Fenwicks, Neighbours). It has a category Things at a circus which condones animal abuse. It could be a good game but sadly it’s horribly Americanised..JBrown061074Version: 1.6.3

✓ Keeps crashing!!!I’ve had the board game for many, many years so thought I’d give this version a go. It’s a good game and I would have rated it at least a 3* maybe even 4* but it keeps crashing after EVERY ad! I get it’s a free game so they make money by advertising but I don’t enjoy having to close the app and then wait for it to reload after EVERY round. It takes away the pleasure in playing and if it continues for much longer I will delete the app..BlueeeyoreVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Update doesn’t work on phoneSince the app update today, the app itself now doesn’t work on my phone..DaniKindrelVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Buggy and laggyLaggy gameplay, the keyboard isn’t as fast and intuitive as it ought to be so typing is slower - this impacts on gameplay as the game is time-based. Please improve this! The game also shuts down randomly on occasion. Love the game but developers, please improve the gameplay! Would also love to be able to choose 3 of my own friends in party mode instead of 3 random people..MaddysnVersion: 1.6.2

✓ GlitchyMy phone is running the latest version of iOS and all apps are updated. I can’t seem to play anymore even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I was really enjoying it, unfortunately I paid to get rid of the ads and now it doesn’t work at all. The game could also benefit with some new categories. Also continues to tell me my spelling is wrong, when it is not. What’s up with that?.MP_13Version: 1.6.9

✓ No Facebook you lose it all!Poor that you have to be on Facebook to play and save your history on the game. MORE to the point if you pay to remove the ads and you are not on Facebook not only do you lose your history you have to pay them again to remove the ads! More people will be interested in keeping the game if fix this, otherwise I am sure I am one of many that’s just deleted it..RellifiedVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Good But Not Gaining CoinsI like the game. Categories vary sufficiently so far. Three issues though: first issue is that I win the majority of the games I play but don’t earn coins (or barely a few) for winning. It will say I’m moving up to the next level or that I win the game and have received 60 coins or 30 coins, but I receive only 2. So therefore I will soon be down to zero very soon if I continue playing and not receiving coins. This has been happening EVERY time I play. I will probably have to delete the app once I’m down to no points, even though I’m constantly winning games. The second issue is that there are many ads and most are long. The third issue is that I have given correct answers and won’t get points for it. I’ve tried disputing but I haven’t seen anything come of that. For example, the category was Airlines for letter B so I wrote British Airways which is a real airline; however, I got 0 points for it even though the other person wrote something different. My main concern is not receiving my well-earned coins for winning a game. I’ve played several and am not getting coins. If this didn’t happen, then I would rate this game much higher. It’s too bad because I do like playing..LovetherealbogglegameVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Good idea but limited and buggyLike the board game, this app is a great idea and it's fun for a couple of hours, but it is pretty limited. There are only four "chapters" to play (which took me, a pretty average player, about an hour to get through), and then you're limited to daily challenges and duels, which get old pretty quickly, especially because the lists and letters are limited. To advance levels in the game, you have to play the same few lists over and over or buy new ones. The game is also pretty glitchy. It freezes up every time I watch an ad to play a bonus round, and about 40% of the time I open the app, it doesn't advance past the start screen. Re-installs haven't fixed this. Lastly, there are a lot of "holes" in what they accept as answers. For example, they didn't accept "Ilana Glazer" as a comedian. And while you have the option to "dispute" these incorrect answers, nothing ever comes from it, even if answers are spelled correctly and obviously acceptable for the category. Bottom line, play the free version, but don't bother buying the ad-free, because you hit a wall pretty quickly, and you still have to watch ads to access certain parts of the game..JarrghVersion: 1.3.5

✓ AnnoyingAnnoying when it changes my answers. Eg. "Words ending in 'ed'" I put "walked" it changed it to "washed" which someone else had put so we both lost the points..HagsjxnbekabVersion: 1.2.1

✓ TOO MANY ADSDecently fun ig but theres an ad like every four seconds, and the categories need to be updated because lots of new answers don't work.Papa johns pizza loversVersion: 1.6.6

✓ Ok but needs improvingI love playing Scattergories, keeps my mi d ticking over. However I agree with some other reviews of this game, some of the points awarded or not awarded is very frustrating! How does the game decides who wins if we have the same number of points at the end of the round? When some of my answers are disputed there’s no reason why! None of my opponents answers are disputed. Some answers that are given clearly do not make sense. How can adding “amazing” to acrobats be super rare? And how can French fries be considered a rare answer for fast food? Keyboard is very clunky to use, doesn’t allow for dictation feature or have numbers. Takes time to type in the words Some of my answers get auto corrected (sometime so that I get it wrong) or are blanked out. Not a bad game but definitely needs improvement !.EJAbundoVersion: 1.6.2

✓ Rubbish since the updateI used to put up with the excessive adverts to enjoy this game, but since the update, it’s just not fun anymore. You only get 60 coins rather than 200, which means you can play one tournament game and unless you win that game, that’s it! Yes, you can now play duels for free, which would have been good if they’d kept the format the same....but now you have to send the game and wait for the person to play you back... I want to play someone at the same time like before. I don’t want to wait around for days in the hope they play me back. Not sure I’ll be playing much more unless they make changes..B the PVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Good game but.I like this game but some of the categories are a bit limiting. Like US airlines, not so good if you don't come from the US. Also film trilogies is a bit limiting. Maybe it would be better as film franchises, there's more scope..MorningangelVersion: 1.3.3

✓ It’s AlrightI got the game and paid to remove ads and now it’s not letting me back in to play again..Willzy PillzyVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Fun, but too easy to cheatThe game itself is relatively fun, but there are too many ways players bypass the rules and get away with it. For example, when asked to give three answers for a band, one player gave both “Little Richards” and “Little Richards Band” and both answers got accepted as being individual answers rather than just one. Players can also just guess first names for many category answers and still get rewarded even if they don’t give a family name. It’s also not clear why/how the game decides who wins in a tie game, it just seems to pick a player at random. Overall, decent and fun, but needs more done on ensuring players can’t cheat the system..Red277777Version: 1.6.3

✓ Too many issuesI really like this game. However, I am not sure if this game is still new or something but there are a few issues. One issue I have are the excessive ads. I understand they want you to pay money and that you have that option to get rid of them. But most games let you watch 5-10 seconds and then skip. With this game you are stuck watching a 30 second or longer ad after every single thing you do. The second issue I have is the boosts. My husband and I play against each other and mine always tells me I won and vice versa for him. If you get a boost, it needs to show up for both people. It takes the fun and challenge out of the game when we both win every single time. The third issue is that it freezes up on me quite often. If they could fix these things this game would be great. But as of right now we are so frustrated/annoyed we are close to just deleting it..MichelleNeal0924Version: 1.3.5

✓ Not knowledgeableMany answers which are acceptable are being refused. What’s the point of the dispute button if you can’t actually dispute? The developers need more knowledge on things before the 90s as many old answers seem to confuse the game. Oh and athletes... this game isn’t aware of many athlete names unless they are super famous. Maybe you should integrate a Siri of sorts, she can find answers quickly.6&$ubdek53)Version: 1.6.7

✓ Always loved the board game butThis iPhone version is a PITA half the time. The keyboard is annoying but I’ll try with a stylus. Also not very ‘world wide friendly’ doesn’t recognise a lot of Australian things ... America isn’t the only country in the globe lol Enjoying it. Learning to deal with the nuances. Can I get rid of the ads tho? Sooooooooooooo annoying!.HeidztaVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Français ???Ou est la version en français ?.Ausrey777Version: 1.7.7

✓ They don’t update it muchA lot of newer tv shows, celebrities, and general facts aren’t up to date in the game. It has a few minor glitches as well which really need fixing.AwkwrdCarrotVersion: 1.6.5

✓ Don’t. Just don’t.I am a huge fan of the board game Scattergories. I’ve played it since I was a kid. This version, however, is terrible. Where do I start? The keyboard is glitchy and doesn’t work properly. I’ve submitted answers only to see that they’ve been changed after the game is over. When a game is finished, you are able to view your answers and your competitor’s answers. Many times, I have found that the words I type in are different than what the game recorded. Also, answers that are valid have not counted. Example: Category-fictional character. letter N. I answered Nella, the Princess Knight, which is an animated show on Nick Jr. my answer was not counted. This has happened countless times and I have disputed them all. Also, if there is a tie score, your opponent automatically wins. This makes no sense. Finally, I paid to remove ads, yet you are still required to view an ad for the bonus round of a match. Very shady. I understand viewing an ad for extra coins, but to play a bonus round in a match? Come on. Don’t waste your time or money..Ana.marieVersion: 1.3.8

✓ GlitchA glitch in the keyboard functionality makes this impossible to play. Whenever I try to type, a random letter gets added to the beginning of the word — so blue becomes oblue and I don’t get any points for any words. Disappointing..AlphaJKVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Game won’t loadHallo, I’ve downloaded the app but when I try to open it, the game won’t load. The yellow line reaches about ⅓ of the way and then stops. I’ve tried deleting the app and trying again but get the same result. Please help. Thanks.RubyCitrusVersion: 1.6.3

✓ No responseIt’s a fun game and I enjoyed it but have now moved on because I have had no response from the developers for 5 days. It’s quite obvious I’m being ignored because the last time I contacted them they responded promptly. Why ignore me? Perhaps it’s because they don’t want to take accountability for a flaw in their game. I was awarded “keys” for winning a duel, several times, I can’t find any use for them. I have checked everywhere. I messaged them 5 days ago to inquire what to do with the keys. Nothing from them. I messaged again, still nothing. That’s pretty much it. They won’t answer what to do with “keys” nor award something different. Greater still, they won’t communicate with me about this. I’m moving on..Greg ParsonVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Good fun, but needs some workIt doesn’t accept British spellings and considers “y” as a vowel. I guess it’s more enjoyable for Americans as many of the questions are related to their culture, brands, television, etc..Gypsy WeedVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Can’t ConnectWhy does this game not load??? I get updating screen on start up and then the message that connection error occurred. Only happens with this game. All other apps work and internet is good..Slimdragon007Version: 1.6.9

✓ Ok but could be betterCategories are repetitive. Some ads don’t have a close button even after watching for 30 seconds. Game changes my answer during scoring (nothing to do with predictive texting). Sometimes the same answer is recorded three times even if three different answers were submitted. Game would be awesome if those issues were fixed..Nessy249Version: 1.5.1

✓ Still Flawed After Major ImprovementsFinally it’s easier to play because the app uses your phone’s keyboard, but I randomly get “connectivity” issues and it won’t show my results after a match. I also completed “Chapter 4” of the game several months ago. It says Chapter 5 will be available soon. Again it’s been at least 6 months if not more. This could be better with more variety, it seems to use the same few letters for every game. I wish there were more clear rules. And it should identify why one person wins over another in the event of a tie..Jaslou18Version: 1.6.9

✓ Mediocre gameI paid to eliminate ads and there is still a tricky thing they do by moving the play strip up and adding a strip at the bottom that says “watch a video to change categories” where the play strip should be. If I pay not to see ads I don’t want to see them. It makes me made so I close the game and go back in. I will not watch an ad after paying. 😡 Also I type in answers and when the game is done the answer is different. Like I typed in between the trees for an answer and when it came up it said I typed between the thugs! I got points for it but that wasn’t what I typed. I happens a lot. There is also no rhyme or reason to the green check marks. At the end of one game I have one left. Then when I start another game I have 30..SuzyjulVersion: 1.6.6

✓ UnplayableAds every 30 seconds. Full of glitches. Don’t waste your time..CJlennoxVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Crashed and wiped my progress after updatePlease fix!! Logged in and then it had me at level 1 again, twice! So i deleted it. Wiped my progress after the update..Lmf luluVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Fun but...The game keeps crashing. Just deleted it..Adele2871Version: 1.6.3

✓ FrustratingLove to play this game but I am frustrated at how many times things are disputed when quiet clearly it is a legitimate answer and then when u do reply to the dispute one NEVER gets a reply...also the amount of ridiculous answers from who ever u are playing that also clearly are wrong answers but they get thru but you can’t dispute their replies.... I think too that 30 coins is far too high a price to pay for each game.NatashaBorisVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Fun though limited, for the few minutes it lastsThis app could be 50 times better (and more profitable for the developer) if it were better designed. For one thing, the categories repeat endlessly. Cooking shows, professional wrestlers, things in an arcade, things at a circus, video games and Words that rhyme with ‘FINE’ are on a continuous loop (I’ve only been playing for a few days and have already seen each of those categories dozens or hundreds of times), while simple and user-friendly categories from Scattergories the card game and Scattergories the board/writing game are not included at all (play as often as you like, play for a week straight, and you’ll NEVER see: Things that are Round, Things that are Sweet, Things that are Expensive, Things in a School, Things in the Ocean, Fruits and Vegetables, Things in the Kitchen, Things in the Bedroom, Things in the Bathroom, etc). But the worst and unforgivable flaw is this: THE GAME STOPS LETTING YOU PLAY AFTER A FEW TURNS, and it tells you you’re out of coins! Every other game app I have would let you play all day if you wanted, though it might make you watch ads from time to time. This one just shows you a sad frowning face and says you’re out of coins! I deleted it. Too pointless and frustrating..GretchenSLPVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Broken gameI’ve just downloaded and tried to open the app repeatedly 4 or 5 times, and it just freezes on a broken homepage that says ‘this is content’. Very disappointing.Reviewerofthisgame.Version: 1.7.8

✓ Find a friend by code doesn’t workTried to play with my partner but nothing worked by using each others codes.Ashleigh NortonVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Cash grabWonderful game, abhorrent cash grab. Insane prices for more categories. Wait times for coins to even play the same category over and over. Could be so much better if they cared about the experience and not just their wallet. Brutal!.AdmiralbrowneyeVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Ok but...As others have said it’s very Americanised, and answers are shown as wrong when they are legitimate answers over here. Also, the censoring is really over the top. For instance, it asked for a spice or her starting with J, and I said ‘Jerk Seasoning’ and it was censored 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ So you get lots of incorrect answers just because they contain other words. Also, there are way too many adverts and after every advert the game crashes. Lastly, the keyboard is weird on the game which makes it very difficult to type, and you constantly misspell things or take a lot of time typing because of the layout of it - The game itself though is fun 😊 just has a few annoying things that ruin it..Elle289557Version: 1.6.2

✓ Fun, if a bit flawedOverall this is a fun, easy to play digital version of the classic. A few things that stand out to me is I’m having to dispute answers often as their list of acceptable answers seems small. For instance I got the letter D and one of the categories was Authors. I put down Delia Owens, a new but wildly successful author who wrote “Where the Crawdads Sing”. This answer was not accepted! The developers need to update their lists more frequently. Also the user experience of the feedback form for submitting a dispute is terrible. Better modal navigation and active text box (while typing) with full use of an insertion point (blinking vertical line) would be strongly encouraged. The experience of playing with a friend is mediocre at best, broken at worst. when I submit my answers it sometimes won’t show on my friends phone as their turn. And I can’t remove players that I’m still waiting on, the best I can do is keep nudging. Other apps will implement a time limit for matches..AlexHelenius90Version: 1.7.1

✓ Terrible, Just TerribleNot only are you put against players with way higher levels you are also given category’s with letters where they don’t match, the game does not accept lots of correct answers and you get an add every time you click something, there are way better games don’t waste your time.GraceprivateVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Tough to playI love the actual Scattergories game, but this is hard to play. 1. The keyboard is so bad. I will hit the “a” for example 5 times before I get an “a”. It is also very sensitive. It takes so much of my time just because the keyboard is terrible. 2. I get that I need to spell things correctly. But come on.... coming up with a word for “X” and not being able to spell it is going to happen. Maybe introduce a word suggestion similar to how the game (app version) Family Feud is done. As you start typing it gives you what you’re trying to say. For example. If I start typing “bed and break...” it’ll pop up with “bed and breakfast” correctly spelled and it allows me to tap it and move on. 3. There are a few glitches with the point system. It’ll say someone else has won when they in fact a haven’t. Others have addressed it in similar reviews and y’all’s explanation was a point booster. I’ve known for a fact that a point booster wasn’t applied and it still happens. Overall, it was fun for the few times I played. But, I will probably be deleting the app after only having it less than a week..Amoney333333Version: 1.5.1

✓ Facebook Invites ConcernStrange that I can send a Facebook invite after doing a challenge to someone that is not on my Facebook friends list??? Does this mean that when I play random people that they could potentially see direct to my Facebook profile???.GazboingVersion: 1.4.4

✓ RIGGED!!!!!This game I thought was good at the start I played it and it’s just messed up- when I wrote a word it always put a P first and wouldn’t stop doing that then.. the scores was like 4 to 3 and I came to the end and my score was 0!! I’m not very happy.. I thought it would be amazing but guess not! Creaters, you need to fix this!!!.♥️♥️A-V-AVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Great concept but terrible appThe concept of the game is great. I love it! But the app is just terrible. I have to close the app and reopen it to update games in progress and be able to play. It would better if each game consisted of more than one round and you were able to view the results of completed games. I would not recommend this app as it currently is..5.daisie.5Version: 1.6.3

✓ Could be better.I like the game but… it would be better to play with 4 friends together instead of 4 randoms..VFxTLSVersion: 1.6.9

✓ GlitchyGlitches often. I clearly type out a word then when I look at the score it changes some of the letters, causing me to lose....Ponx82Version: 1.6.5

✓ Don’t waste your timeKeyboard for game use is very off. I’m not convinced that your playing actual people or that they are counting actual words in a category because I was winning with random same letter word..Lulu 9944Version: 1.6.5

✓ Too many adsThis is one of my fav games but the ads (the same ads i might add) in between every round make it almost unplayable. They often pop up before i even get done reading the results of the round we just played. Hope that its fixed in the future to mak it more enjoyable play.PearamourVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Adverts!!This game could be great if it wasn’t for so many adverts and then crashing half way through a game. UPDATE* still crashing and then I lose the coins that I’ve used to play the game it’s crashed on. Needs sorting ASAP!.MrsxtuckyVersion: 1.3.7

✓ Crash crash crashAlways crashing...still so addictive that I keep playing!.ARP HodgesVersion: 1.3.6

✓ TerribleIts a game I enjoy playing. But the mobile experience is HORRIBLE. In the past ive just deleted and moved on but this experience was abhorrent in how bad it was. It didnt even last 24 hours on my phone. You can do better. Challenge yourselves as a company to do better because this is not the way..CAP1NEVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Not worth itWhere do I begin. Let’s start with the ads, it’s excessive. They are long and frequent. Next the coins. I ran out of coins. New ones build up but only when the app is open. I guess when you run out of coins you just delete the app. What am I supposed to do sit here with the app open waiting to build back up? And lastly, the keyboard. Constantly freezing. Autocorrects to things that don’t make sense. There’s a lag so once you hit five seconds might as well stop typing and just give up. The categories also grow old. Always the same and gets boring after a few rounds. I thought maybe you’d get new categories as you progress in levels. But since I ran out of coins I’ll never find out.Buddy JonesVersion: 1.6.5

✓ It makes me rageI love this game but the app ruined it it makes me loose money for no reason even when it says win 60 bucks I loose 60 bucks don’t get this game if u rage.UhuhuaaVersion: 1.6.5

✓ I give upThis was fun for awhile, but the app just gets worse and worse. First, lately it hardly even loads. What’s the use of trying to play tournaments when you can only get it to work once a day? Second, after you play for awhile, you end up only being able to play about two games at a time unless you win (to earn more coins) or unless you are willing to pay money to play further. When I first started out, there were more rewards. But as I advanced, there were fewer rewards and fewer coins available to win. Speaking of winning, it’s hard to win when they change your answers or don’t realize what your answer means. I guess sometimes they change it to something that benefits you, but sometimes they change it and then they throw it out. Also they have a super sensitive “offensive word” filter, but then that means if the word you wrote happens to have a PART of a word that MIGHT seem offensive, you can’t use it at all and you don’t get counted for it...even if it’s not even remotely a bad word. So yeah, I love Scattergories, but this one is way too frustrating to mess with..Kitagrl28Version: 1.5.0

✓ Lots of problems with appLike previous review said, points system rigged and not truly accurate. Can play against friend sitting beside me and both our phones say we won?! Buttons don't work properly and it misses letters. The ads are crazy and like 30seconds long and then sometimes goes blank after an add so you have to log back in. Besides all the negatives it can be fun and with some adjustments could be a lot better!.ChaseriderVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Good gameOnly annoyance is too many clicks to start a game..MelgnzVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Extremely Limited VocabularyThis game is fun enough, but there are so many correct answers that the algorithm doesn’t recognize. I’m not talking about obscure words. I’m talking about everyday words, spelled correctly, that should be accepted but aren’t, for no apparent reason. Many times a correct answer will be flagged as “disputed,” and I’ll get 0 points for it. I shouldn’t have to spend time constantly filling out dispute forms over words that every English-speaking person is familiar with. Shouldn’t the algorithm be connected to an online dictionary? That way, legitimate answers won’t constantly be thrown out simply because English is not the developer’s first language, because that is the only reason I can think of for the game’s vocabulary to be this limited. The other problem with the app is that it constantly freezes in the middle of the game, which is extremely frustrating..Doremimi1Version: 1.6.9

✓ Answers need updating!I want to love this game but SO MANY times I play I give correct answers that the game doesn’t recognise and I am penalised. Please update your options for answers in your categories. Am very tired of losing when I know 100% some of my disputed answers are actually correct (and are spelled correctly)!.VivienthecatVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Too AmericanGame play is biased towards American players. Answers I know that are 100% accurate are refused as they are Aussie answers and obviously not widely known throughout America. The dispute option isn’t an option as it doesn’t allow you to dispute anything… it’s just a complete waste of time..Cooroora22Version: 1.6.11

✓ Mixed feelingsI enjoy the game but find it frustrating. It’s very Americanised so UK answers are deemed incorrect. It randomly autocorrects answers, sometimes in your favour and other times causing an incorrect answer. If you have the same top score as another player it only chooses one winner, so even if you ‘win’ you don’t get the coins.Just-me-33Version: 1.6.3

✓ Game ProgressI think it is poor of the game to only allow game progress to save only is they have logged in with Facebook. There are a lot of people who aren’t allowed Facebook or simply don’t have it and for this game to delete game progress after every time I exit the game is wrong. I have had no recent updates, my device has nothing wrong with it and the app hasn’t updated in a while and so it is simply the creators fault and not mine or my devices’ fault. I hope I get a quick response and that staff immediately fix this problem that is annoying. I haven’t played this game in a long time because I’m always annoyed that I have to start all over again because the app just deletes my game progress every time I leave, which isn’t my fault. If you are reading this and haven’t got the app yet and don’t have Facebook, simply don’t get it because you will never have saved game progress..Prank-app userVersion: 1.3.6

✓ PluralIn the rules it says you can’t do anything plural. But my opponent played wheels and they got a point. However, when I put wheels I didn’t get a point. But this game is really fun other than that also we need more categories..HG19SLVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Glitchy and AnnoyingIt’s so irritating playing a game that totally changes the size of your phone’s keyboard. Nothing more frustrating than having to re-type things 3 times because of typos. In addition, the app is glitchy. Such a shame, as I love Scattergories. Deleted.👋.Asdfghjkw167Version: 1.6.7

✓ Enjoyable but....I like the game and try to finish first so that if I have the same score as others, I’ll win based on speed (I think that’s how it works). Why have the refilled coins changed from 200 to 120? That’s not cool. I find the game enjoyable but preferred it when we got more free coins and we could duel from the main menu..Rebecca21007Version: 1.5.0

✓ Good game but..Good game but there are SO many ads it’s ridiculous. I want to turn the game off after a couple games because I’m watching more ads than I am playing. I understand you offer a paid version with no ads but that’s no reason to pile in an ad after every bloody game on the free version. I’d rather delete the game entirely than be pressured into buying the paid version..BadmanFruitellaVersion: 1.3.5

✓ Auto correctWhenever I am quickly writing my answer and accidentally spell one letter wrong it becomes incorrect even though the other player had the same answer and it was pretty obvious what it was supposed to be. This game used to auto corrected to what they thought it was and so you didn’t have to worry about going back and delete every letter..Bob.ross123Version: 1.5.1

✓ Some glitches1. I dont think its fair that people can use help hints and it gives people a 20 score word. Should just be 10 points if you use a hint. 2. I cant use & in my game and others can. I loose points if I write and instead of & 3. Get with it with some of your information! Im from Canada and you wont accept some of out things. Other then that pretty good game.VghickeyVersion: 1.6.5

✓ DisappointedWas really enjoying the game until I found out it is all rigged. The keyboard issues are the app and not my phone or fingers. The autocorrect gives me dud answers sometimes. Sometimes it gives me winning ones that I didn't put (refer to the rigged issue above). The disputes are to make us think we can give feedback so we feel better, theres no real disputing or reviewing. The game has the potential to be amazing but is pure disappointment at present..BoggletyVersion: 1.3.6

✓ I have a love/hate for this appFavorite game of all time so that's obviously what brings me back, but there are soooo many issues with this app that it ruins it for me....it crashes ALL THE TIME, often in the middle of a game so I lose points; often enough to make it annoying, it accepts BS answers and rejects correct ones; spelling is SUPER sensitive; categories are better but they still have some that are too narrow so there literally isn't a possible answer, and some that are too broad so people just make stuff up; and it gives you an option to dispute your rejected answer but that does absolutely nothing (you still lose your game and they don't give you any points or coins back, so what's the point)..JennsymVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t!Starting to get reallllllllly annoyed. I got a new phone after having deleted Scattergories for the exact same reason on my previous phone. Thought I’d give it another try in case it was my phone. Nope. It’s still happening. It opens fine every time but when I go into missions, daily challenges, anything to play a game it doesn’t work! It just has a blank page. Can’t go back, can’t do anything except close it!.WhereIsNABPayVersion: 1.3.5

✓ All About Ads and making you pay to playUnlike most other games, this game provides very little to no coins when playing. To play a round, you need coins yet they easily deplete with a couple of losses because the ratio of coins received to used is so skewed. This forces you to watch ads in order to buy coins or actually buy coins. I paid to have ads removed, but this is a sneaky way of making me watch them repeatedly! Also, terrible keyboard..Miss_Nella_KVersion: 1.6.5

✓ Way too many advertsIt’s a shame, but there’s too many adverts which go on for way too long- lost interest. Other games like hole .io have ads but you can close them straight away. This was ridiculous and turned me off playing . Otherwise game is ok.Shelss221Version: 1.4.4

✓ Could be greatSame categories ALL the time! ‘Things in an arcade’ and ‘things in a garden’ very boring. There aren’t enough categories so you see the same ones every time you play. Lots of answers aren’t accepted even though they are correct. Like I said could be great but it seems very lazy and half hearted.Aggers82Version: 1.6.5

✓ Glitch overloadToo many glitches to make this game enjoyable. A lot of connection issues. Very limited categories. Keyboard doesn’t always register a letter and you have to go back and correct . Very very long ads after every game. Disputes take far too long to garner a response. All in all very poor quality for a major brand name..99bottles of beerVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Is this game available in FrenchCan i play it in French.UltrabadgameVersion: 1.7.1

✓ Not happy with itIf you aren’t willing to pay for adless it plays a full length 30 second ad after every round that can’t be skipped. The game since I got it has so many bugs and problems it’s not funny. Sometimes it can’t connect for no reason, sometimes the screen will just go black and stay that way after an ad, and lately I press a button and it does nothing, the buttons won’t even press. Eg; I’ll press a button and it will make a clicking sound but will do nothing and stay on the same screen. I can’t even play any games because of this so it’s basically useless.HenenbeisVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Won't even loadI never really write reviews but I just had to with this ! I just downloaded this game from the hype of my family members enjoying this game so I wanted to try it out ... Waited for around 10 minutes for it to load saying "checking for updates", it's been over half an hour and it still hasn't changed screens. Also asked my family members if their app took this long and they said it didn't. I've tried deleting the app and downloading again but it still the same. #megadisappointment!.ImdeadddddddgoneVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Its fun and all but the AdsI’ve spent more time watching ads than playing the actual game, like I get that you need revenue but its just ridiculous 30 second ads everytime you close a game. Im fine with the game and picture ads that you can close straight away but sorry im not spending money just to stop ads..TaahhuuVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Good but could be betterThe basics of this app are great and it would be 5 stars except: - the keyboard. It is absolutely terrible. I tried using a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad but this app won’t recognise it. Please address this! - it’s very American centric. Not necessarily a bad thing but be aware if you are a non-US player you are starting at a big disadvantage..Genericuser12345Version: 1.4.0

✓ Used to be great! Now - not so much…Glitches constantly on any newer iOS; keyboard glitch freezes keys while trying to type. This hasn’t been updated in a long time, so I won’t be sending any more money to lazy/greedy developers..HeatherAngel23Version: 1.6.9

✓ Very GlitchyThe premise of the game is fantastic. I just made it into the higher levels where more game styles are available, and it is really sucking me in. I’m really enjoying the challenge of thinking quickly. The game is incredibly glitchy at present. The game always crashes, without fail, at the end of the Final Fantasy ad. It also crashes at the end of some other ads, but with less frequency. Lastly, it seems to crash most often during tournament play, which is unfortunate because you lose your buy-in coins. If the developers continue to update the glitches, they might have a lifer in me. Otherwise, this will be another one of those games I play for a week and uninstall out of poor developing & frustration..ElQbanoVersion: 1.3.9

✓ FreezingFor pity's sake get the 'freezing' issues sorted. I spend more time having to get back into the game than actually playing. It's uncanny how many times you are forced to watch ads and then it freezes after. I like to play the bonus rounds but 9 times out of 10 after the ad the screen goes black. Too many complaints from people over the same issues so why aren't you fixing it..PudefVersion: 1.3.5

✓ Don’t botherThe game was ok for about a day, til the problems started showing up. 1. If u don’t rematch a friend after every battle, good luck trying to challenge them again. 2. Having an active battle drop from one side, but carry on the other side. Tried deleting the battle only for it to show back up. Nudge all u want, the other side doesn’t have it anymore. It’s stuck in ur list. 3. Having the answers that u give be changed. For example, O-Universities. Right or wrong, I typed “Orlando University”. It somehow came up as “Oakland University”. Yet, upon disputing it, it came up as Orlando. Go figure. 4. Their lack/limited knowledge of answers to their own game. For example, C-Registered Dog Breed. My answer was Chow. They discounted it. Yet, it’s been a registered breed since 1903. Another example, B-Professional Wrestler. My answer (trying to keep it short due to time) was Beefcake. They discounted it. Yet, he’s been a well known wrestler in the ‘80s+’90s. Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake. I’ve got more that would cover 3+4, but I’m gonna end it here. Challenging someone to a game of knowledge has to be offered by someone of equal or greater knowledge. Its no fun when the player knows more than the devs..Gold PhoenixxVersion: 1.6.6

✓ Good but can be betterAmazing game. Only thing is that because it is an American app some British answers result as incorrect even though I know for well they are correct. For example there was a part where it said 'University starting with A' I put Aylesbury but it marked it incorrect. I COULD HAVE WON. I am not angry it's just annoying. Anyway, good game. Fun to do when your bored. 🎭Poppy🎭.Pop gliterVersion: 1.7.9

✓ Nice ideaI’ve always liked this game in real life. I don’t find the app to be user friendly. I hate the feel of the keyboard, it’s different than regular typing on my phone. I make a lot of mistakes because of it and it causes delays. And the fact that spelling counts is frustrating. I played about 10 rounds, and 3 of them were the letter i which was annoying. I also felt like it didn’t accept some very legitimate answers. And not accepting plurals? There is a difference between peppers (vegetables) and pepper (spice) which is a situation I ran into. Also, I had one round where I clearly had more points but the other player was declared the winner. After about 10 rounds I couldn’t start any more new games despite the fact I had enough coins unless I closed the app and went back in. Overall a fun idea but it needs a lot of work to make it better. Deleted for now.Merry927Version: 1.3.7

✓ Greed is not good.This game is geared for upper level players to start forking out for coins. There’s simply not a lot of ways to ‘earn’ coin when tournaments cost 40 coin to earn only 60 coin when you win competing against four other players! Tournaments & challenges 100 coin to play and so on!! I got to level 50 and watched my coins haemorrhage just to play more interesting challenges. So sorry the game plays reasonably well except for the rather forgiving autocorrect (which is open for cheating) and could have been 5 stars but the obvious greedy IAP gives you one star..EyesoupVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Coin bugGreat game but the coins are bugged. I get a notification saying my coins are refilled but when I look at the app it’s at the same amount it was when I stopped playing last..DesideratistVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Awful!!This game is great except that it constantly glitches. I can’t even buy coins. I tried did 10-15 minutes and it’s constantly glitches or just closes. Super frustrating. I have newer devices and on a popular game such as this, this type of stuff shouldn’t be happening..Srd1220Version: 1.6.3

✓ Good Game But...Enjoyable game. But even once you’ve paid to remove the ads, you still end up having to watch them to get coins (needed to play each game, and you quickly run out once you get to a certain level). Bit of a con..RandyheadVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Paid for no ads, but still get themI’ve paid to have ads removed and it worked for a short time and then it stopped..1s2qVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Paid but getting AddsGreat game but don’t like getting Adds when the game cost me $4.99 which I already thought was expensive for this basic game. Keeps giving same questions the longer you plays why play more than once a day???.TurtlephoneVersion: 1.3.7

✓ Fun but could be betterFun and addictive to play with friends and even strangers. My biggest issue though is the validation of answers. Sometimes the game awards points for the most absurd answers. Writing this review because someone got points for answering KOALA for “Type of Juice”. INSANELY BROKEN VERIFICATION. You can literally write anything and there’s 90% chance you’ll get the points..JDogzzzzVersion: 1.5.1

✓ WAY too many adsCouldn’t keep playing, the ads were insufferable. Needs a better balance..HuggtreesVersion: 1.6.5

✓ Good but could be betterToo many adds, they sometimes freeze the game as well. Need more coins. The game sometimes changes my answers?? Also when you and someone else have the same amount of points, randomly choosing the winner is no fun. There should be like an extra round to determine the winner. Also game froze right in the middle so lost my coins and progress.ShawnMendesBaeVersion: 1.3.7

✓ Won’t let me playAfter a breather from playing this game, I return and it just hangs. Shame because it was a good game..KeewicatVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Unplayable keyboardYou play against the clock, yet the keyboard is so bad you spend most of the time trying to type one word! It takes about 10 attempts just to type one letter as you can’t type quickly because you will find it misses most letters! Also... something you wear (R), I put Red Hat and Red Shirt, both were rejected, yet someone else put Red Dress and that was accepted!.ZombieRodeoVersion: 1.6.3

✓ Needs to be more friendlyI understand that these 'free' games rely on revenue by running ads, but these ads pop up (and then either run slowly, freeze or close/crash the app) in the middle of the game. At least run them AFTER a game. Once the ad interrupts gameplay I can't go back to the half finished game, it's gone and lost forever. I like the concept of this game but as it's presented here I cannot mark it highly..M1796Version: 1.4.4

✓ Too much wrong!!!!!!!This game takes too long to load and then when your playing it, changes your answer don't download till they've updated because it's literally effed up!!.RiahsatiniVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Pls fix the keyboardFun game but needs some new categories and please please fix the keyboard. I spend half of my time carefully typing because the backspace button is half the screen.EPHP43Version: 1.6.4

✓ Scores are wrongEach time I play against someone we both win. For some reason i get 20 points for each correct answer on my ipad. But on their ipad i get 10 points and they get 20. Scores need fixing otherwise not much point playing..Fat ShrekVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Great game but ads ruin itThe game itself is great and development top notch but the ads ruined the whole thing, only played two rounds and deleted the game..D17859Version: 1.6.9

✓ It's pretty goodLike it..but the needs a better keyboard, and it autocorrects a lot where it shouldn't. Those are the small tweaks needed. Other than that, enjoyed myself very much.Wilz01Version: 1.1.0

✓ Not FunThe keyboard is unresponsive which is a pain when you’re being timed. The ads are insane because they pop up constantly, I can’t even review my score without ads popping up and when the ads are done my score and results are now gone so I can never see how I got points. When will game developers realize that constant ads are not a way to create a successful game app?.DevoshireVersion: 1.6.5

✓ It *was* pretty good...Been playing around a year or so. The last couple months I have more problems than not. I keep getting a purple screen of death that says “An error occurred. We are currently experiencing connection issues. Please try again in a few moments.” There’s a Retry button but it doesn’t do anything. I either have to force quit, reboot the phone, wait or worse, uninstall and reinstall. This last reinstall only lasted a few days. My daughter has one generation phone newer than me, both on the latest iOS and she doesn’t have the problem. If I can ever play again, I think you should also save stats so we can see among friends who has how many wins, points, etc..UwgirlVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Ads broke the app, literally.Holy cow, this game made me very disappointed. I love scattergories but the game isn’t updated. Also, the ads that are just pictures break the game. After they close out you can’t tap anything in the game to play— you have to manually close and reopen the app. For the updated bit, Some of the answers for politicians were elected into office two years ago were disqualified because they were false…. And the keyboard is horrendous. It’s a smushed version that is incredibly hard to type on compared to the regular iPhone keyboard. I hope they improve their answer database and their keyboard so the game can be playable..ItslitsamVersion: 1.6.7

✓ Way too many adsThis game is really fun. Unfortunately though, there is too many ads to the point it affects game play. Like come on. Whoever made this is an idiot for approving that many..ManjelinaVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Too many issues to enjoy the gameScattergories is my favorite board game. I was really happy to see the app. But there are so many issues that it just makes it frustrating and not worth it to play. The keyboard is glitchy and difficult to type on. I spend too much of my game time trying to go back and put in a letter that it didn’t record. Then many times the game ends and it records a different answer than what I typed. Also, I was playing with my sister and I knew she finished the round, as she sent me a text telling me we picked several of the same answers. I kept going back to the game to view results and play the next one and it still said it was her turn. I closed out completely and went back in, still her turn. Finally after 2 hours it alerted me that she had played. If this app didn’t have so many issues I would definitely pay for the no ad version. You guys are missing out on ad revenue and paid customers because of these same issues that, per the other reviews, have been going on a long time..JesniffyVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Needs new categoriesFun game, but WOW do they need to add some new categories! I’ve been playing for over a year and they haven’t changed the categories once. The lack of novelty is causing me to lose interest..GreasyKhaleesiVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Frustrating app in multiple waysWay too many ads, while I expect there to be ads for free apps, this has too many. I actually considered buying the ad-free version but couldn’t find it in the App Store or within the app, even though the FAQs indicate there is one. The same categories seem to cont in IOU’s my cycle through. I have the board game version there are plenty of categories without repeating then so frequently. The FAQ explain what to do if you want to dispute decision on your entry. This process doesn’t work. And I’ve seen several examples of other players have words accepted which aren’t related to the category. However, now I’m glad I didn’t purchase it. I’m in the hospital and was looking for a game to pass the time. For the last two days it did this. Went to play it this afternoon and all of a sudden I don’t have enough coin to play a single round. While I didn’t like the first things I commented on I was willing to put up with it as long as I could play. Since I can’t play, I’ll probably delete the app.Puzzler4378Version: 1.7.1

✓ Not a good gameThe game is setup so you always play against the computer. If that’s what you want then go for it. I tried to play my friends, it said I was playing them but when I talked about our answers they weren’t even playing. They downloaded the game but couldn’t connect and somehow the game told me I was playing against them..T-bones1Version: 1.6.3

✓ Please sort the keyboard out!!The game itself is lots of fun, however what is up with the weird keyboard format?? Half the time each round is spent on me trying to type correctly. Also, I paid to remove ads and an hour later they were still coming up constantly so I had to get a refund. Not good..Kirst1707Version: 1.3.6

✓ Let down by being American-centric and prudishA good game and a great database of answers are let down by questions only an American-resident could reasonably answer. Also, when you can’t submit Willy Wonka as a ‘fictional character’ just because it contains a ‘rude’ word you know it’s gone too far!.Duncan_FVersion: 1.6.3

✓ Good game, but both players always winPlayed with my boyfriend, we were in the same room. Looked at the scores at the end and his said he won, and mine said I won. Spoils the point of the game for me if we are both supposedly winning each time..MyGreenCowVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Fun but please fix glitchesIt’s a fun game but glitches need fixing. Sometimes after winning a game, coins aren’t added and after watching a video coins aren’t added either. Also after watching a video to play a bonus round, it says it’s not available to play. Tournament games disappearing so you can’t win them..Mssmm22Version: 1.6.3

✓ Play with friends?Says you can play with your friends but all games I start with my friend is not even with them, so who exactly am I playing with? Garbage..CantFindAnyNicknamesNotTakenVersion: 1.6.6

✓ R for RedundantA fun game, but they need to add some different categories. They repeat the same ones over and over. Ads are very annoying as well. Overall a good game when you’re bored..RoboYogaVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Potential to be greatThis game is fun but has a lot of issues, bad connection problems (incidentally, when I seem to have done well!!), out of date in terms of answers, lack of consistency on what is accepted, same categories over and over. Needs some work..Nikkin00Version: 1.5.1

✓ Nice appFun game and nice app that works well but between almost every round it takes you to a video advert which becomes annoying very quickly..Gray-11Version: 1.3.3

✓ Doesn’t work after purchaseI was enjoying this game and decided to pay for no ads. Now the game won’t load at all, after working fine when it was free! Very enjoyable when it works!.LLR7Version: 1.5.0

✓ It’s ok but you need to expandThe game is somewhat good but why even have a dispute button if you won’t accept any disputes? The game is so americanised it doesn’t accept international answers that are actually legitimate. You also need to expand the knowledge of book titles and authors as again it doesn’t accept legitimate answers..StookyjVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Keeps crashingHave to keep closing the app in the middle of games as it keeps crashing which means you instantly lose the coins you’ve just spent.DanibeexxxVersion: 1.7.2

✓ 😟I just downloaded this game a couple of days ago and I enjoy playing it but the ads are really getting on my nerves.... I play other free games with ads but there aren’t so many! Every once in a while should be enough, not after every single game that I play! I also think a daily bonus of coins should be added to this game, like in slot machine games. I think it’s unfair to have to spend money on coins to keep playing a free game. Thanks for responding to my earlier review... I understand about the ads but can you please add daily or hourly coins??!! Every game that requires some kind of fee to play gives daily or hourly bonuses.... like Candy Crush, bingo games, casino games...etc. Why doesn’t this game have that??? This game needs it!! 😫😫😩😩🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.😩😠😡Version: 1.3.5

✓ Stop the adsFun game, but I tried to buy to stop the ads... it keeps saying my purchase has gone through but then it doesn’t seem to work..AbsMcVersion: 1.3.9

✓ Could use some upgradesThis was once my go to game but it’s not as fun as it was before. I don’t know if there was an update that made the keyboard this way or if it has always been this way and I was too excited to notice. There is definitely an issue with the keyboard and it makes you lose time because you have to go back and fix the spelling. I think it would be a lot easier and you’d get less complaints and better reviews if you let us use our own keyboards or fix the one in the game. Other than the keyboard, which honestly plays such a big role in this game, I love the idea of this game still and it helps me focus better..SawlesssaysVersion: 1.6.7

✓ Too annoying to be worth it.Long legal agreement, game glitches, doesn't recognise enough answers for categories, shoves too many notifications in your face, you can't go back and change or see previous answers, and the in game keyboard doesn't work well..Bryn T. WedgeVersion: 1.6.7

✓ Fun game, major app flawsThe game is addicting. I love it. There are several bugs, and it takes a long time to load. Also, it was fine when it had 5 second adds, but these 30 second ones after every single game make me want to never play again. To the creators/operators: your game is too difficult to play in the sense that you don’t really get to earn a lot of coins with most options. I feel a little scammed since I have to buy more coins to play. Many platforms I want to play, I end up not playing because I won’t earn coins even if I win. You should earn coins every match you win, and it should be significantly more than how many you put in to play, if you win that match. Winning bonus help things doesn’t cut it. I love the game, but I hate how hard it is to earn coins, and I hate that I don’t get to enjoy many different playing options for the sole purpose that I won’t be able to play more. The game itself is 5 Stars. The point system is 1 Star. The app operation is 2 Stars. That’s why it’s an overall 3 star rating. Please add more ways to earn coins and more coins for when you win. It’s kind of ridiculous and ruins it the way you have it now. And your 30 second adds are too long. I desperately want to close out the app every time I get a 30-second add vs the 2 5-second adds. Please improve these functions. It’s so much fun, but super frustrating to navigate and enjoy..Ccass89Version: 1.3.7

✓ Rip off!!I paid the $3 ($4.50 NZD) to remove the ads and it keeps playing the ads between games! The keyboard to type the answers lags all the time... and my answers (after its announced who’s won) has changed from what I actually typed in! Got suckered in to this game! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!.ThankgodforfastpayVersion: 1.3.7

✓ DisappointedThis has a lot of potential, but falls short of being any fun at all. The way the game is scored, your answers can be "disputed". If that happens, you do not gain any points for that answer. I don't know how they decided what to dispute, but it disputes things that are completely accurate. Example, the category was "Cities" and I typed the name of the place where I live. It disputed it and counted it wrong, and I have no idea how that's possible. The city most definitely exists, and I spelled it correctly. It did this a few times within my first time playing it. What's the point of playing if the app can't differentiate between a correct answer and an incorrect one? It's not any fun if it feels rigged and you can't win. I would have happily paid for the commercial free version, if this game were fair and fun. Unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. Oh well, onto the next game!.LightYagami vs. LVersion: 1.3.9

✓ Needs to be fixedI do love the game, but the issues that I am having really make me want to give up. 1. As others have stated, having the app change the actual words that you type in is incredibly frustrating. I understand that people make typos or spell incorrectly, but that is their own error. The game shouldn’t change the answers..period. 2. I keep getting “updating” every time I open the app. Sometimes it finally opens, others it just sits there doing nothing. 3. Why can’t we dispute someone else’s answers? I have seen some crazy ones. Oprah Winfrey being accepted as a world leader? Ummm, I missed the memo on that one. I did find a contact form to dispute hidden elsewhere, but it would be easier to do it on the same results screen that you can dispute your own answers..Mom_of_twins_2003Version: 1.5.0

✓ Good but glitchyGood game, but crashes a lot when loading results. Navigation is poor. Love the daily challenges. Need more categories. These ones get pretty boring after you play them a few times..Killerwhaletank7Version: 1.6.4

✓ Needs FixingI want to love this app because I’ve always loved this game, but it’s got really annoying issues. 1. When you submit answers, almost every time the app changes it to something else. I have so many summary pages where I look at the points I was awarded and there are random nonsense words in place of what I actually typed. And I know it wasn’t a simple misspelling because there’s an in-game mechanic to “dispute” a judgment the game makes and when I click to dispute the weird word, it knows what I was trying to say. It’s confusing and honestly turns me off from the game when I want to look at my scores and see how creative I was/was not and just see nonsense. 2. The in-game ads don’t get a little “X” to close them after a few seconds, or a mute button to keep it from screaming at you. If you use the free version of the game, between rounds you have to sit through the full ad period, which is pretty annoying. 3. The interface is confusing. I have a Facebook friend I try to play with and it only suggests one of my friends - I have to re-send him invitations when I want to play, which is super annoying. If he’s my Facebook friend and I click to “challenge a Facebook friend”, why can’t that person be on the list when they have the app? It’s dumb..Clemsongirl0430Version: 1.3.8

✓ Update not updatingAnyone else updating the app, being taken to the App Store, downloading the update, clicking on it, being taken to the app, clicking on the update button, being taken back to the App Store, and on and on?!.NbcsykmxshkVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Glitch!Good game when you can get it to work! Very glitchy, crashes when trying to connect to server. Way too many ads!.Rach Down UnderVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Update broke appApp won’t open since update.NorthernLalaVersion: 1.6.4

✓ In game keyboard ruins gameThe game forces you to use a keyboard they’ve designed and it is awful. I would have continued to play this game if i was able to use my phones keyboard. Disappointing !.KarnagekarinaVersion: 1.6.5

✓ New updateWas a good game however today it told me I had to update the app, I did but now every time I try to play it keeps saying I still need to update so I can no longer play even though I have updated the app! Removing the app and re downloading doesn’t work either.Review for hintsVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Freezes and crashes too muchI really like the game but it freezes and crashes so much it is hard to play.Srt456Version: 1.4.4

✓ GlitchyThe game is fun, and you have to be quick. It’s hard to do since the keyboard is glitchy and slow. Also if I’ve played a few different rounds the app crashes. Need more categories !!.Ottawa gurlVersion: 1.6.3

✓ Needs categoriesIt’s SUPER fun but the lack of categories is frustrating..Honeybee_leeVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Needs a better dispute systemIt has good potential, but the database of answers seems quite small. Won’t recognise the names of many legendary bands, albums, TV or film stars..Snaporaz4Version: 1.8.0

✓ AdsWay too many ads ruins the whole game.Terrybeary123Version: 1.6.9

✓ Ripped off !I paid to have NO advertisements throughout the game....the ads are STILL COMING UP . I am very annoyed. Also, this game is very American centric, leaving not much enjoyment for those from other countries. Perhaps the categories could be more specific to a country or be more general knowledge..Design143Version: 1.6.3

✓ Critical bugs that never get fixedThis game has the potential to be fun, but the bugs make it impossible to play. I’ve been playing the tournament round, but whatever was released in the latest version caused a critical bug. After playing the round and submitting my answers, there is a never-ending loading screen that says “trying to connect”, and it simply never will connect. Happens every single time. You could be waiting there for an hour and it will never resolve. Clearly I am not the only person this is affecting, so why isn’t this resolved? There is no way this has gone unnoticed if they even had the most basic of error logging. I could be forgiving if the bug was released, and patched quickly. But I waited 2 weeks to play again, and it’s still an issue. And those rounds are 100 tokens. Terrible error handling as well, seeing that the server is trying to connect in an infinite loop.KristenkellyVersion: 1.7.9

✓ SetbacksIt is fun don’t get me wrong, but the amount of ads that come up, and how long the ads play for, not to mention I’m pretty sure it changes your answers as well. When you draw against someone you played against, it’s like it just randomly chooses who the winner is? Also freezes from time to time..HeavenOceanaVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Letters and ListsScattergories is one of favourite games ever. This mobile version though does not change the letter or lists enough so I can give the same answer about 5 times because I get the same lists and letters. Becomes boring after a while. Please fix this..Bonz_88Version: 1.0

✓ DebI like this game but it’s the same letters all the time W, O, F, C, E? I also don’t like that it changes my answers. Time for some new categories… I own this game and play it all the time with my family….MitimissVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Good game but.....I love this game but I don't like the coin system. You have to pay 60 coins to play and only win 60 coins back. If you loose you'll eventually run out of coins. Then you have to watch ads to win back coins or buy some. Apart from that I love this game 💜💜.Left clickVersion: 1.3.3

✓ RIGGEDThought this was a fun app until I was playing against my sister whilst sitting next to her. Didn't take us too long to figure out that the points were rigged. When playing a round, her app told her that she had won whilst on my phone my app told me I won for the exact same round. How can we both win?!? Both of our apps gave totally different points based on the words used when challenging each other. E.g., player 1's phone shows (player 1 - 102 points, player 2 - 60 points) meanwhile for the same round player 2's phone shows (player 1 - 60 points, player 2 - 102 points)!!! Clearly the app is rigged so that consumers win, think they are really good, and then pay to get ads free. Which I think is really unimpressive..Voldemort97Version: 1.3.3

✓ This game is bootyGirlfriend meant to write squid but was awarded points for squit. Squit. Also whenever you have to name a famous person she just guesses a last name and gets mad points every time this game is absolute cheeks. Also only two players? For a game that is a milly times better with a bunch of humans? Oh but at least it’s in real time with the app right? Na. It’s turn based. Literally taken the best elements from this timeless chefs mf kiss of a game and killed them. To death. RIP in peace brb gonna go play Scattergories literally anywhere but on this app.Squit5000Version: 1.6.6

✓ Ads not removedThis is a game I've loved since childhood and I'm glad to see it's become an app. Unfortunately the app is rife with LONG advertisements and even after paying for ads to be removed (which wasn't listed in my local currency in the app) I continue to see ads!.DogOfSevenlessVersion: 1.3.6
