Community Insight:
A little hard to play but we love it we play with our sister when Im not busy. LOVE IT.
We told the creators we would give them a five star rating if they matched our fish and we matched him.
We want to get rid of it from our iPhone and we cant . What do we do.
This is a great game to play through iMessage. We started playing Go Fish with our siblings and we have not stopped since! Its a fun card game that you can play with your family and friends without leaving iMessage (which we really like since we can still text and play at the same time). We all love to trash talk each other when making the other Go Fish and force a draw card. Love the new design. Definitely a keeper and a fun way to jazz up chatting and text messages with a simple classic card game.
Pretty sure we play go fish more than we text now.
Finally a GoFish game for iMessage that is fun for the whole family to play! Give us your fishies.
We love this game. You can trash talk with you grandchildren while playing and hopefully beating them at the age old favorite card game of go fish! Very fun for the whole family.
It is a fun way to play a game that we remember from our childhood. Go Fish is a new old favorite and we love challenging our husband and son.
Mom beat us first game but then we won the next. (Will keep trying).
Our nephew and we goin this app recently and have enjoyed playing this game! But we encounter that it freezes midway through, and we cant finish the game. Wed love to know a trick to avoid this.
Us and our sibling downloaded this app to have some fun because we couldnt find our card deck. Now we cant delete it off our device and cant play it because it glitches to much. We dont know what to do because its now taking up space in our phone. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME IT WILL SEND VIRUSES.
You cant open the app its no good . Please fix the bug and Ill play.
Either help us delete yalls stupid app or Im going to get the law involved.
How can we delete this app from our iPhone/iPod.
Cant seem to get rid of this app.
