Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The boy gave up on his first app probably isnt making any money off of it now.
Heard the story and is aspired to make our own app.
We love this app It's awesome but you should let us change our user we spelled our name wrong and we can't change it please fix,other than that it's awesome at first It froze a lot but not any more,and for those that don't know how to delete a game just hold the game for a few secs and Is says delete and you can delete it.
It is fun, but it needs an update so that it can send notifications when someone sends you a picture to guess.
This game is very fun recommend to anyone.
We've had it for 10 min and it's only worked properly for like 30 seconds.
So fun and cool we just have to love to love it.
We love this app but we wish you could delete people who you started a game with because random people have started games with us who we don't want to play with.
Make a way for you to be notified when a person plays you back cause it doesn't notify us and we've checked our settings.
We love this game! It's super unique but it needs notifications/alerts so you can know when it's your turn to play…please try to make this feature available.
This game is super fun and addicting too! It makes us stretch our brain to think of new pics to send and some of the words we get are so funny! Love it.
Our wife and we are addicted and have so much fun playing this game.
Just getting this because of theweeklychris, we haven't used it yet, but we'll give it 5 stars for now.
This is an awesome game that we love playing with our brother, but one thing: we don't like when games have no sound. Can you try to add sound effects.
The daily guess doesn't work anymore, we click it over and over an nothing comes up, please fix.
This app is fun, unique, and amazing. We love it! But, there are some bugs that we would like to be fixed. First of all, the game won't notify if it is your turn, second of all, sometimes it freezes, and lastly every time it's our turn and we start to take snaps it blacks out and we have to go back. Please fix these bugs ASAP.
Great app and fun to play with your friends but we're having lots of bugs. Needs an update.
Let us upload a profile picture.
It's fun and all but sometimes when we have no one to play with we do the daily guess and we press it and sometimes it doesn't let us do it. It just stays there counting down! Fix it.
We seen this all over vine had to get it so yeah lol.
We don't get notified when it's our turn, we wish you guys could update this problem ASAP! Also people who r mad about random games starting, tap the top where the logo is and turn off quick match.
It's a fun game you can play with friends, one thing will make it better is a notification sound you have to keep checking the app to know when it's your turn but other than that cool game.
Super fun but we want to have only friends on our game list and no strangers. We just want to delete the game that they started. We don't know if you already can but if you can we have no clue how to we want them off of our your turn list. Please fix or help us -confused player.
We think we should get a notification when is ur turn to go.
You're and your. Please learn the difference before producing an app.
Love app needs notifications when someone plays you back or plays you.
It is a fun game and all but it really needs a notification option.
We love the app!! It's so much fun!! But as we're trying to view the game we're playing, it freezes or it forces quit! When we're on the streak screen, it sometimes won't show the continue button and others it won't let u tap the continue button. Other than that the game is awesome!!! If u fix this bug then the app will become awesome, so please consider this.
Y every time in take a snap it force quits but the game is fun other than that.
We love the game it's a great idea but we cannot open it anymore it turns black wen we open it and then just closes out we have tried clearing ou our phone memmory and everything we don't know what to do SOS.
We can't go in to the daily guess but this game is awesome.
Have a hard time logging in and can't get it to load.
We actually find this game really fun and we are recommending it to anyone we know! But we forgot the password to our account and we wish there would be some way that they could email you the password like other games. Other than that it is really fun until you forget your password Also the app didn't open the second day we had it on our phone AND iPad! It would just come up with a black screen and it would do the same after we restarted our device.
So we tried to log on to the game with Facebook and when we did it made our username some long assortment of random letters and numbers. We quit the game, came back on to play again, and we tried signing in through Facebook. The game has been loading for about 20 minutes so far and nothing we do helps it. We've tried to quit he app and restart it, turn our phone off, delete the app and reinstall, nothing helps the non stop loading screen. Please help we really want to play this game.
We like the game but when we take snaps it exits out of the app. We can get into the daily and answer people but we can't take or send any.
Good idea for a game, it'd be better to have full access to google instead of Flickr and IG which don't work all the time.
It didnt even work the first try fr lol pleas fix this and we didint even get to experience and it fails already.
No us deja abrir una cuenta eice ke necesito internet y le pongo y nada.
This app is completely broken (except for the SignUpVC) and you can't even make a new account. Don't download unless this app gets a new update.
Our boyfriend and we are long distance so we try to find games that we can play together. He told us about 4snaps and we were intrigued. We both downloaded it and tried to sign up. Key word there being TRIED. Every time we went to create an account either through Facebook or by our email it had that little happy face and promptly told us that we couldnt reach the hamsters. We dont know if its something with the game or not but its definitely something to look into. Looked fun though hope yall get it figured out.
We downloaded it and it wont even let us sign up or connect with our Facebook. Something needs to be fixed or just delete it from the app store.
We tried signing up with our Facebook account, but it didnt allow us. We also tried to sign up with our email, but that didnt work either. This app could do better.
Every time we try to make an account it will say we couldn't connect to the hamsters and it wont let us play.
We can't reach your hamster bro.
App keeps crashing as soon as we open it.
SO MANY BUGS! F*UCKING FIX IT! We CANT EVEN PLAY ours ANY MORE!! THE DUMB "SOMETHING FAILED, WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED EITHER." FIX THE BUGS.
We checked to see if it was just us and it turns out its the new update for everyone. We cant read the letters, they are all jumbled instead of being layed out normally. We cant even tell what the hell the letters are now and its making us mad. 4 snaps really needs to fix that and go back to what the letters were before the update.
This app is cool and fun but everytime we type or send it quits or messes something up. Super glitchy.
Every time we go to take a picture the app crashes. We haven't even taken one picture successfully after many tries.
This Is set up very poorly. The searching for pictures is horrible. The don't have anything to do with what you search. Also the only knee way is to take your own photos, and that's not easy. Pretty dumb. Don't download.
