Community Insight:
This game is single handily our favorite action packed choice based mmo rpg battle Royale of all time we can tell they put maximum time,effort,and creativeness into this game.This game deserves a 5 star and nothing less.
Best game ever we love it so much definitely download because its amazing.
Que sea iba por 40 y us sali anuncio mal ah wacho.
Game was fun accept the adds would pop up and ruin the whole point of the game.
Who's idea was it to put fullscreen ads that end a run in this game.
Can You please update that app.
One of the most intense apps you can buy on the App Store. Literally kept us on the edge of our seat and made us miss meals. We actually forgot to attend our mother's funeral!! CAUTION: INCREDIBLY ADDICTIVE.
We HATE THIS APPP BUT we LOVE IT! ITS KINDAOF A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP.
We really enjoyed this app. Especially fun on car rides! 5 stars.
Easy highscore: plug it into a power source so it doesn't die, and simple place an orange on top of the iPhone. It's that simple just leave it all night and day to get a great score.
Did anyone else see this app make the list of "Top 8 most useless apps" Haha we love it just for the stupidness of it =).
A wonderfuly creative app. Absolutly worth the download.
LOL,who would hold down a button for 10 hours.
Ok, first of all it's free. Second, just because highscore of seven hours doesn't mean he sat in a corner and held it down for seven hours. Third, it's an app called "hold the button", so if you complain that all you do is hold a button, you gotta go to school or something cuz your one big dumbass. Fourth, if you want the highscore, just put your finger on the button an tape it there for a day, And your the next record breaker!! :).
7 hours thats it?!! People can do wall sits for 7 hours. Come on now. See apps like these is why america is so fat.
We were on the top 25 for like 2 weeks back when the best time was 3 hours and 5 minutes our time was 2 hours and 29 minutes.
Totally get! It is so much fun 2 do!! Fantasticio.
Love this app but we held the button for 1 hour and 51 minutes and it didn't put us in top 25.
This game is the best. It is so cool and it is a verygood way too waste time. We luv it. :).
This game is great, we're personally aiming for the highscore=).
This is byfar the greatest game ever created. We would rather play this game than halo, gears of war, or GTA. And we're a beast at it too.
We Have An iPhone 5s And It Keeps Crashing Please Fix.
This is ok. But who would do this, u r just wasting ur time. We tried this and it made our finger cramp.
You people are awful. It's an app, not a presidential debate. Some of these arguments you use to backup your points are, themselves, pointless! One person said "The reason why Americans always win is because they're fat." wow. That makes a lot of sense. Or maybe it's because America is the most wealthy country per capita right now, so the inhabitants have time and money to spend on iOS devices to play pointless apps? Call us crazy.
Good app. But it just gets a little boring after awhile.
If there was a pro version for a buck that gave rewards to the #1 player ( only once per person) that would be the best.
Its not bad it just requires patience. Also there are ways you could get around this like putting specific objects on the ipod, easy highscore.
We got a high score cause we watched tv and ate dinner holding it down. Then we earased it.
We got to 1hr31min and then it said our finger came off and It didn't but we did get 25 in America which is some what cool so it's good and bad and if you don't beleive that we one look on the America list and our name is ben.
It's an ok game ,nothing wrong with it.
It"as good game but we know that we"m staying still and it says we're not please fix.
The app sounds like a good idea from the title and the competition has to be really tuff… Only… You'd need to have a lot of patience closing and re-opening the app, since it freezes the moment you open the app and when ever you push a button. We'd imagine that would be annoying to have the app crash while you are holding onto the screen for 2+ hours. Sadly we haven't come that far as to being able to log in, so we guess we'll just delete this now. :D.
App crashes after 10 minutes of use. Its annoying.
IF YOU'RE STUPID YOU PROBLY READ THE TITLE OF THE APP SAYING 'HOLD THE BUTTON'AND YES, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CLICKED ON IT. SO YOUR SAYING YOU'RE STUPID FOR CLICKING ON THE APP SAYING 'HOLD THE BUTTON' THINKING IT WOULD BE FUN. OH MY GOD PEOPLE!!! YOU ARE SO STUPID.
Tape your finger to it while you're asleep or put something on it that can act like a finger. Never tried it but hey.
We got this game after reading Jalix's review when he said his time of 8:20.11. The only thing we wanted to do is beat that and now we're bored. :.
An okay idea, but Its really boring. We can't stand it all the time. Not addicting at all!!! How do the high scorers do it.
Well, it's not exactly FUN, but if you feel like breaking a record and showing off to your friends, you can use it while your watching TV. :P All those people who are saying it's dumb – chill! It's free, you can delete it if you want, and if you see a game called Hold the Button, you should expect a game where you hold a button. OK? Sheesh.
It has absolutely no point. The only way you'd not be a total ninkumpoop is if you watched TV or a movie or something while holding it. But if you do not you are a 36 year old man living in your mothers basement. If this is you, you are a screw up loser.
The ! Button doesn't work since update.
We looked at the game and picks. Thought it was cool, but every time the timer hits one it crashes!! It takes us to the stupid main menu!! Also they should take the ad off the MIDDLE of the page!! Until they fix this, the game is not getting anything higher then a two.
Its a good game but please take away the ad in the middle of the screen.
It doesn't do anything, justs wastes battery and storage.
We waz @ 13 hours and it kwashd.
This game is pointless. We mean, we once fell asleep on this app. Take our word for it, it stinks. And whoever has the high score, probably has a boring life. Sooo pointless.
It crashes way too much. We've only managed to successfully open the app three times. We've tried like 50 times total.
Omg it dosent even open it only works the 1st time:-0 FIX.
This game is fun until you realize that you have a life.
We dont have the pantience for this game as of now the high score is 12 hours how can you hold your finger there for half a day.
This was made top eight stupid apps on yahoo.
