Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We want the free categories. Exceptionally average app.
It plays like a low budget college movie. In other words it is the worst game to download. Dont waste your time on this.
Used to be our favorite game to play at a party. Now when you save the video the app crashes and resets all the points. Plz fix asap! Viewing videos after the round is the best feature.
Can play it alone and by urself.
It's really fun. Good icebreaker for a quiet group as well.
Honestly best game we've ever played! It's equally as good as Trump's presidency.
Always playing our daughter and wofe love it.
Had a blast playing this game with friends while partying. Only bad thing is not a lot of categories to choose from even after doing all these things for coins. Not sure what that's all about.
Played with our niece and nephew and loved it ,found the download and happy to play with family.
Our friend said that he had the word teaspoon but we know that it was tablespoon cause we saw it after. We need confirmation that the word teaspoon isn't on the game and that the word tablespoon is. If the creators could contact us we would be extremely grateful. This is massively important so any input is helpful. We also very much enjoyed the game. Please help us folks.
This is great party game if you don't mind your phone being passed around a group of people who might drop it or have sticky pizza fingers. The ads of the free version are unobtrusive and game works flawlessly on our iPhone 6. We love it.
Great game for a big group of people.
This game is such a fun game to play for a girls night.
Would be an amazing game but it freezes constantly.
A great game for groups of 6+ or solo games. Awesome app.
Fun game to play with friends.
Super fun to play with friends! It would've been better if the college and Adult would've been open to us.
This made our holiday family game night! Super fun and easy to use.
Good entertainment for groups of all ages.
… A joyous event with friends savagely ruined by a tiny device. We've played a lot of games, before and after technology took over the world, and this one really tickled the gorilla. Everything just blew up? Suddenly?!? It was ad after ad as if we were playing a digital magazine and those subscription cards were falling out onto our lap creating a heaping pile of colored card stock. We just can't understand all the problems. Have you ever played tambourin with a panda? Neither have we. But we feel like we understand how it feels to strum that tambourine with a bamboo eating furry beast.
Like it a lot probably going to buy. Better than catch phrase app.
Always up to date on current topics and very few glitches. Have been a satisfied user of Phrase Party for years. It's always a hit and of course handy.
This app is so fun! It's so easy to play with the whole family, the only reason we give 4 stars, not 5, is because it won't recognize that we should've earned coins by liking on Facebook. But otherwise awesome app.
It's alright except u have to unlock ones.
We help this up and be really good for our students. It promises a lot, but doesn't follow through. It only comes with a few categories and when we tried to play it didn't even work correctly. All of the other categories that are "available" to play you have to buy! We had high hopes and they were busted quickly.
This app is great for parties, you can get every into.
Great drinking game! Needs more categories unlocked. Also does not give coins to unlock games.
Fun game highly recommended very fun.
Great game to play with friends on long road trips.
If it's free it doesn't work. This thing throws LYFT ads in your face so much you can't play a game. The ads are portrait when the game is landscape. So to close the ads you have to keep rotating you phone. This app should be destroyed. We're gonna look for the real game on Amazon.
This app is great! Kids 11, 14, and 18 had so much fun. Our 4 year old was able to guess a few.
One of the clues in the solo game had an unnecessary and inappropriate word. The F bomb, as in "crazy as F&(k". Not recommended especially for kids.
Really fun party game! The only bad thing was the many ads that get in the way when you're in the middle of a game.
We really like this we got the full game us and our family love it.
We remixed the game a bit to play on a roadtrip! Time flew by and we had a blast! Love this game.
Such a fun/addicting game to play with friends! Never gets old.
Awesome game! Unlock Adult category.
Have had a great time with friends playing catch phrase with this app. Paid for the extra categories and love it.
So much fun! Always playing with our brothers.
This game gets everyone in a great mood. The more people playing, the better.
Love the game except we lost one the things we unlocked & it won't restore.
It's a quality app that everyone should have.
Once we upgraded to iOS 8.2 the app shuts down:(.
The game is annoying because it repeatedly asked us to give a review every time we clicked to play. It keeps telling us to upgrade if we want to play, but when we go to upgrade it sad we can not upgrade it. It was fun at first but now it is getting on our nerves. We're writing a review so it will stoop asking us to write one.
We love this game!!! Along with all of our friends, we can say this is the most fun we have had in along time!!! Love that it records the sessions.. Thank you for the good times.
The best party game, in your pocket, at all times. Guaranteed winner.
Great game!!! Played until 4 in the morning. We're getting the upgrade.
This game records your movements without asking for permission. We do NOT appreciate it.
This game is so fun! It's something to do any time, any place.
Fun game basic word game with a group of friends.
