Mad Libs for Negative User Reviews
✓ Funny but annoyingThis app is really great to play with your friends but it always crashes when I'm trying to type in the words. Please fix!! Otherwise a great game!!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ 𝖣𝖾𝗍𝖾𝗋𝗂𝗈𝗋𝖺𝗍𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝖺𝗉𝗉 (ಡ‸ಡ)This game has not been updated in four years. You would think this would not be a problem, but somehow the app is falling apart. The font that they show the stories in, in the preview; the format that is supposed to remind you of the book version? It won't even load; it's just boring old Times or something. The other reviews say this, but each word you put in now gets placed on a new line. It isn't by any means a fatal flaw, but it makes me a feel a bit uninspired. Also, every time you open the app (even when you just reopen the window), it opens the Game Center screen thingy, and you have to click out of it. It's very annoying. Not to mention that the app crashes frequently, sometimes as soon as you're about to read your story! This has nothing to do with this game being in dire need of an update, but some of the free stories are just...𝒷𝓁𝒶𝒽. While most of them are indeed fun to read, many of them are only funny if you meticulously choose the silliest words and also make up a few elmo-y new ones. And some of them just aren't funny, no matter what heavyset earthworms you use. (Essentially, the free stories just advertise the paid books. If you're not planning to spend money on the app, either make the most of the free stories or don't get the app at all.).Version: 3.4.1
✓ Very hard to read if you are colorblindAs a colorblind person i have a hard time reading the madlibs.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Ummm...The app is okay. I love mad libs so I downloaded the app. And it was fun until... 1. You only get 1 book free, and then you have to pay for the rest (which stinks because my dad won’t allow me to buy things on my phone) I know they have to make money but this is crazy. 2. The game said that during a mad libs, you can swipe down to redo a word. I tried that when I made a mistake but nothing happened. 3. I would have been nice if there was a save button, so you can start a mad libs then do it later instead having to redo it. But if you go back you’ll have to restart it Honestly if the Penguin company solved these issues, I would bump my rating up to 5 stars. But for now, I can’t promise that..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Mad libs aren’t funThese mad libs aren’t fun. Mad libs are supposed to be fun. The free ones are taken from informational passages. That’s not promoting your product well (in my opinion, at least). If those had made me interested or laugh, I’d be inclined to buy one of the other books. They are, instead, pretty much the opposite of what I want, and the disappointing quality makes me think that all of them will be like this. That’s not something I’m interested in by any means, and so I won’t be wasting my money on these. Question for the developers: why is this like this? Back when I was a kid (which wasn’t very long ago), doing Mad Libs was a fun way to pass time. You’d compete with your friends to see who could come up with the craziest story. This has none of that. You can’t have a crazy story without fun scenarios..Version: 3.3.3
✓ A big problemI just got the game and I and even use it because it keeps crashing. Please fix this, I really think this would be awesome, if it worked. I'm begging you to plz fix the crashes.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Okay and fun, but the font change looks weirdI really enjoy writing funny stories on this app. However, after coming back to it, I found the new font to not work as well. The original boxes and organization of the app worked pretty well, but now it doesn’t look that good anymore..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Bad gameI love the idea but the story’s make no sense it’s really annoying when you type in all that writing and don’t even get a good story out of it this app seemed cool at the start but is just pretty bad.Version: 3.4.1
✓ UmmIt's really great but I can't go look at my "books" It won't let me click the button to see my stories please fix that.Version: 3.0.1
✓ PotatoI definitely advise that you must talk to a professional potato before using headphones.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Needs an update!!Don’t get me wrong, this is a good app and the stories are awesome. However, since more updates came out for iPhone and iPad, this app can’t keep up with the latest update. The screen is much smaller, glitches, crashes, and when you’re finished with the story, it immediately becomes an almost unreadable font. Please fix!!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Blargle Fargle:c Pretty sucky... Crashes before I'm even done filling in my words... Every time. Don't get to read anything ;n; ...it's pretty looking and gives you examples of words rather useless since you can't even use the whole program though..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Fun word nonsenseI love the mad libs concept, but sadly I no longer have kids around to play it with..Version: 3.0.2
✓ :(This is a good game I played it on my sisters iPad and it was so fun but when I got it I've never made one single poem because every time I have used it it crashes and goes to the home screen but it's fun but please fix it.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Fun app, terrible crashesEver finished filling in the last ______ on a paper mad libs and had the story completely vanish? Ever wanted that to happen? This app provides a wonderful simulation of self-erasing stories that will fill you with “delight” when you have to fill the the story a second, third, or fourth time. When it works it’s great! When it breaks, the kids cry and the wine bottle is always half empty. Please fix. 🙏🏼.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Crashes all the timeI can never manage too complete one mad lib story without it crashing!! plz update and fix i loved this app but now its garbage not even worth buying plz fix the crashing situation.Version: 2.0.6
✓ 3 stars because:Well it's a good app.. I got some funny laughs out of it but there is only like 5 defferent mads libs, I kinda gets old after a while..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Outdated and I don’t have the books I’ve paid for!!I recently downloaded this app again and it signed me in as if I was new to this app. I bought books for like $.50-$1 each and I had so many laughs. Another thing is that the app is very outdated with the frames it has. I own an iPhone 11 and the app is small and rectangular - probably for an iPhone 7 phone. It needs improvements BADLY !.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Previous purchases DONT RESTOREI wish I could give this 5 stars, however, my previous purchases don’t download and restore. That means all my old stories are gone. This app is great otherwise. I used to play them on trips with my sisters. I could not wait for book fair, mad Libs books galore, weekly book orders too. App inventor, please fix so we can get our previous purchases..Version: 3.4.1
✓ FrustratingI often make mistakes and don't realize it until I'm done the whole Mad Lib, and the only way to delete a completed Mad Lib is to delete everything, as in reinstall the app. Not a five star anymore for me..Version: 3.1
✓ POTATOGuys , don't use headphones unless you ar supervised by a knowledgable potato..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Fix pleaseJust downloaded the app to play while on a road trip. Download was fine but can't launch the game. "Connection error, could not connect to game centre. Please check your log-in information in the settings menu". The funny thing is that there is no log-in?.Version: 3.3.3
✓ Fonts are broken on the story.I used to play this with my kids. I opened it for the first time since getting an iPhone 12 and decided to purchase a pack of stories. Unfortunately I didn’t think to try the old stories out before doing so. The story itself is lacking all styles and instead you get the default times new Roman font in black. It is hard to read and ruins the experience. I see no way to request my money back for the new stories..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Help we love this app but...We absolutely adore this app we have several books. We have played as a family for YEAR and have so much fun especially when we are on long trips or are trying to get the kids to last through a meal out. However, for the past several months we can’t even open it. It simply crashes even before it loads. PLEASE update it to fix the bugs. I would give it five stars but for the crashes and will change my review when it’s fixed..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Formatting needs to be updatedFormatting needs to be updated... I used to love using this app with my kids and students but now the formatting seems to be out of date. The formatting seems to create issues whenever you are done enter things into the options and try to read it after your choices. With a little formatting update, I jump my rating up to five stars again. These are super fun even with the format problem..Version: 3.4.1
✓ FunI gave it a 3 star because you only get a little book of stories and then you have to bye the rest and I want to have lots of stories without buying them and I finished them all so the app is no use and I do not have an I tunes card so I can’t bye any more and the app just takes up space so I why am I keeping this app is because I can read my stories but if you want us to bye any at least give us 101 stories so the app does not get deleted so give us more than just 21 stories to have before having to bye any.Version: 3.4.1
✓ What the HappenedFirst time I got this it crashed so many times and i never got to finish it or even read it and lucky enough one Time I managed to save it before it crashed. I deleted it and tried doing it again and it still kept crashing. It was taking up too much space so I deleted it. Then a while later my BFF got it on her iPhone. It had stuff like fables. My dream girl or the perfect man and stuff like that and so many fun things. I download this again and it don't have any of those and neither do my other friends that wanted to get it Like WTH. that is so stupid. And it still crashes for me. PLEASE FIX THIS.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Mad LibsCrashes badly!!! Please update..Version: 3.2.1
✓ BuggyThis game don't get me wrong is a fun game but sometimes it just crashes out on you so please get an update for that Thanks Sarah.Version: 2.0.6
✓ PLEASE FIXSeriously, this is the most annoying app ever now. It used to work fine and it was really fun and I liked it, now it's impossible to even read the story at the end. EVERY TIME it crashes just as I press ok to make the story. So it's crap now and there's no point. PLEASE FIX I used to love this app if its not updated soon I'll delete it.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Expensive books for a poor designed appThe content of the books are great and well worth the cost. However, the app itself is not. They always use dark font on dark background. I’m not a graphic designer at all but even I know to never use blue font on dark blue background. Their string concatenations are done with a new line instead of inline. The app crashes all the time. And my favorite is that every time you open the app, it opens up the Game Center page. Even Apple removed it as a forward facing feature and instead moved it to a background feature. Game Center should not be the splash screen every time you open the app. Literally no other app does this and for a good reason. It’s annoying and pointless. It is apparent this app has been abandoned by the developers/company as the last update was 3 years ago..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Crashes every 5 or fewer minutesNot sure what’s wrong with the app. I have a newer phone with a large amount of free storage and I rarely get to a low battery power. It’s fun but not very enjoyable when u nearly get to the end of typing your words and the app either freezes or completely crashes, both which lose all previous words entered. Not to mention you have to pay for the majority of the stories....Version: 3.4
✓ Format is messed upMy family and i love this app and even spent money on buying the digital books. We thought it would be good for the environment to not recycle so much paper. But the format on the books is almost unreadable now. It displays each word that you enter as pale grey type on a separate line from the rest of the story. Reading it is difficult and the choppy flow makes it less funny in the end. There hasn’t been an update in almost a year. We are so sad! And a little annoyed that we spent money on the app..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great.... When it works.Mad libs is fun for the whole family and great if you want a laugh. It is really fun and me and my sister enjoy sitting on the couch and making these hysterical stories! Although it has one major flaw, the extensive crashing. It happened whenever your writing words and is a real detergent for any impatient player. Please fix this..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Only two books😢There’s only two books!!!! The rest you have to pay for and I’m a kid and can’t buy them can you make in game currency that you earn and you could buy certain books you choose to be in game currency and books with real money and maybe even something like a mad libs festival where you can earn books around holidays for free and earn even more if you buy something like maybe a mad libs medal or something and you get that when you pay real money and then in festivals you get better stuff then the other people who don’t have it please please do this because I really want more books.🥺.Version: 3.4.1
✓ The good, the bad, and the itchy; a childhood game brought back to lifeBored on a Sunday, a friend and I indulged in one of our greatest childhood cravings. Our findings were amusing, although at times tedious due to the lack of development. The stories are classical and hilarious however, I found the clunky nature of the app to be inhibiting my overall enjoyment. I’d love to see better formatting, and perhaps read aloud options. The app is enjoyable but it needs work..Version: 3.4.1
✓ The game was fun and very educationalNeeds more free stories. Waaayyyy more stories. Like 10-12 more. I told my friends about this game and they were so excited. But then I told them they only had 2 stories and nobody wanted to play with me. I cried all night playing mad libs alone on my 17th birthday party. It was a educational birthday. I know I spelled an wrong but that was on purpose. That year for my birthday wish I wish there were at least 10-12 more books in the mad lib game. ❤️❤️❤️ ps please please please please please please please please please please pleeeeaase please please add more books.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Crashed or froze every time I playedI just purchased this two days ago to play with my daughter. We played 3 times and it froze/crashed twice during that time. Today we started doing a new madlib and it crashed part way through and we had to start over. We got through filling in the blanks the second time, but it crashed again before we could read it! It shows that we finished, but won’t let us read the story without closing the app. I want my $4.99 back. Not worth the trouble 😞.Version: 3.4
✓ WeirdThe thing are just random and it makes absolutely no sense don’t download this most of the stuff is locked just don’t.Version: 3.4.1
✓ THIS SUCKSWHEN I WAS FINNALY DONE A BOOK THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE SO INTRESTING IT CRASHED.Version: 3.4.1
✓ 3 stars because:Well it's a good app.. I got some funny laughs out of it but there is only like 5 defferent mads libs, I kinda gets old after a while..Version: 0
✓ CRASHESI can only do one of them. Crashes on iPod 5. Do not recommend if you want an app that works..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Terrible formatI love writing mad libs. This used to be one of my favorite apps. Now though it looks terrible when you finish a story. Not sure if it is because I upgraded to an iPhone 10 or what, but the story format is gone. Now it abruptly line breaks to put your input on a line of its own with no white box behind it and a colored font similar to the background. Even small inputs like “cat” require a full line and if the colors are too similar it becomes unreadable. The final straw is there is no app support I can find online so if this is a bug I can’t report it. Very disappointed and will not spend any more money on this broken app..Version: 3.4.1
✓ MehIt’s ok. It costs money to get the good ones and none of them are funny..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Cool game, but had a sexist storyI was doing the “Comeback Kid” story and the story focuses on a football player. The football player’s pronouns were automatically set to he/him/his. It didn’t even ask in the fill in the blanks section to choose the pronouns of the football player. Which is odd, because it asked for the name. The name I chose was a girl name, so shouldn’t it ask for the pronouns too? Football and other sports aren’t gendered. They’re for everyone. I’m disappointed..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Yes and no.This game isn’t the best, in all honesty. I mean, it was fun at first. I wouldn’t play this in my free time. I might only play it if I’m stuck in a line at Comic Con and need something to kill time. I completed all my first stories with no problem, so I bought another book. That was a scam. It didn’t even show up in my library, and lured and beckoned me into buying it again, even though I’d already made the purchase. You should be well grateful I even gave you a star, let alone TWO. Scammers, indeed. Response to response: Oh, fine. I’ll let it slide for now. Good day to you..Version: 3.4
✓ Problems on iPad and no supportOn an iPad, you can’t restore purchases because it asks you to solve a math problem (to prove you’re an adult, I guess?) but the math problem is stuck off the edge of the screen and can’t be moved into view. This needs to be fixed. Unfortunately the link from the App Store to the developer site and app support just lead to the Mad Libs website which has no support info and no way to contact or file a report. This would be an easy fix if anyone was paying attention..Version: 3.4.1
