Community Insight:
Not the easiest to use and really hard to cancel.
We just want to play with more then 2 people.
This was so full of stuff we didnt want, that we decided to make our own. Jobmckee.com/catchphrase.
Beautifully designed app! Came in handy when catch phrase game could not fit in our carry on luggage on the plane. Seems to only work when connected to the internet but we have filed a bug report with the developer team so we expect that to be fixed soon.
No way to do teams. Person who passes less likely to lose.
Why cant apps just be free anymore? You can only play 1 category and its the most random words. Annoying! So wouldnt recommend because you cant do anything until you pay for the subscription.
This got us through 2 hour car ride.
We realized we forgot the hand held catch phrase for our holiday party and this was just as fun and so convenient.
Free if you rate high which is a good reason to rate high.
This definitely isnt pressured.
We love this game so much! We always pull it out for any company we have and its always a good time.
Greatest game to play with friends.
If you want access to the app you have to leave a 5 star review.
App is super easy to use! Our boyfriend and we played for hours cracking up.
Always a pleasure to play, but refuse to pay 20$ a year for something like this.
Categories need more variety and revamping, just for teens is all clothing related.
We dont know if this is the app we wanted yet. We played catch phrase and it was super fun.
We used this as a game for our middle/high school students and they all loved it! They all like the various categories included in the game.
This makes it convenient to play catch phrase when you dont have it available.
10/10 favorite game since we were like 8 years old.
This review is to unlock the other categories. We do not know if the game is good yet.
Love that anyone that can read can play this, from the younger kids to the grandparents.
So much fun for the whole family.
We loved the original game and love that its now a app.
Having trouble getting a group to mesh? Have no fear the ice breaker is here.
This game is so fun for all ages.
Such a great game to play with friends and family.
Great for kids and adults. We played tonight with six adults and two kids. It was so funny, we had a great time. We do recommend this App.
Love this app! Its very similar to the original catch phrase game. The categories are great and we had so much fun playing it.
This game is a great replacement for the original Catchphrase game. It was the go-to for our family camping trips but when we lost the Catchphrase game device, this was a great way to keep the tradition.
Rating this to unlock it. Then we will really rate it because it wouldnt let us try it before trying to get us to buy it.
Awesome mobile substitute for catch phrase.
Tried a few games of the free trial, but dont want to purchase. There doesnt seem to be a place to cancel. How do we do that.
Very basic answers and nothing challenging.
The game runs wells and is a blast. But the game you buy in person has a timer that beeps the whole time and a buzzer when the timer is over.
Dont start a free trial or pay for the extended version – it doesnt help the crashing problem. You wont be able to cancel your free trial in the app! It took us a while to figure out how to cancel our free trial: go to your App Store subscriptions and directly cancel from there.
Downloaded and havent used it. We want to unsubscribe before we get charged after 3 day free trial. Read the terms – nothing. Clicked contact us and it says device not found. How do we unsubscribe from this app and not get charged.
PLEASE ADD THE SOUND TO THE TIMER.
We are unable to cancel our subscription. Do not download this app.
The app kept throwing repeat words. Pretty clunky, too.
Only basic options unless you pay for it.
This app is more worried about the back ground of the screen than the cards being displayed to play the game. It repeats over and over again.
Really fun game to play with your friends and family.
This game could be really good if it was like the actual catch phrase. There is no timer sound to let everyone know how much time is left in the round. We have looked all over the app to adjust this but there was nowhere to change it. Also when you pass the phone you have to press an extra button to continue the round/timer. This takes all the excitement out of the game because there is no race against the clock aspect. That is the fun of catch phrase and that is gone from the app. There is also no team option which is a very fun way to play the game. This app could easily mirror the physical game but does not. We would not pay $20 for this game at all. This is not actual catch phrase. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
We downloaded this game to play with friends but theres no sound on the timer. Ive checked all our settings but everything works fine except for this.
SCAM!!!This app showed free to download, but we played one round and it required $1.99 to continue playing. Once we bought it the game NEVER WORKED AGAIN! This is a rip off. Dont download.
Luke others said, it works the first time after you download it. Eventually it crashes and then wont open. Have to download again. We guess its free, so.
Paid for no ads: 2$, and game crashes once we open it. Dont waste your money or phone memory. Just sayin.
We were able to play for 30 seconds and it keeps crashing. Waste of time.
Constantly crashes. Shouldn't be in the app store.
