Community Insight:
We love to play games, but sometimes we find ourselves with friends and our boxes of games are at home. This amazing app has allowed us to play any game we want at any level we want with as many people as we want with nothing in by hand but our phone. We love you to pieces and we could not be more grateful to you for creating this app. You have brought so much joy into our life! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Tons of options for difficulty and tons of words. Been using for years and repeats still are not often.
Just learned about this app (and website!) today! Its exactly what we need for lessons and game nights. A great resource with a very simple user interface. Very sensibly done! Is there not a settings button? We wonder if theres an option to change size of fonts (looks small on iPad) or if an in-app timer will become available. Keep up the great work.
We do not have a pictionary game, so this was perfect! Great, easy APP.
Our family loves playing CatchPhrase – but our unit is old and a lot of the terms aren't good for kids. Enter Game Gal's Word Generator – the PERFECT replacement. Plenty of words. We loved the different games available. Loved the play levels or themes (especially "People"). We also had fun with the getting to know you questions. Highly recommend this. It worked great.
We had it for months but never used it, actually is really funny and full of opportunities :) it has become one of our favorite game app on our phone! We'd like to have a info section with rules for games and other way to play them! We will recommend it to friends! We'd like to have a list of word to create our own "deck", to select question/word and add our own.
We were looking to play Pictionary but don't have it where we are and just having the words was enough. Us, our husband and 7 and 9 year old really enjoyed playing thanks to this app! The easy to hard levels made it an even playing field for us to play together. Thank you so much for putting this together and offering it for free! Very kind of you! Any way of adding a counter or "rules of the game".
This app is so useful to have on the go. It vastly improved any waiting or down time, but in a fun way that involves everyone.
Our family has had so much fun with this app, a pencil, and some paper.
Learned about this from Funhaus playing Tilt Brush.
Simple, easy, good words. We love the word difficulty setting. We just used it for pictionary with our kids and their friends. Thanks for putting this out.
Needed something to play a game and this worked perfectly! Grab some paper and a few people and play! Thanks for making this great app.
This app has all the word games from charades to pictionary to dating questions. Each game has many categories and levels. It is really easy to use and no bugs. No account needed. Best of all, no ads.
This app is great for playing word games, and super easy to use. Gives you random words for use in your games, and that's it! Perfect.
This app is awesome for use in speech therapy sessions with individuals with aphasia. The targets are great, and that it allows you to predetermine difficulty level is really helpful. The only thing that would make it even better is if there was an option to include pictures next to each word. For clients who have difficulty reading, this would make the app perfect.
Perfect for what we needed – a family game night! Easy to use for both kids and adults.
We use this in our classrooms for various levels, about the only group who can't use this are our phonics kids. Awesome app.
This is a great app for a family who wants to play together. You can pick a level and go through the words. The kids loved it and we could pick whatever words they were able to do. Wish it had a 'back' feature for us- we went too fast a couple times.
This app is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to play Pictionary as a group, and this app provided one-at-a-time word lists in an easy to use format. Love the difficulty settings as well as categories (movies, idioms, etc). Thank you.
We love how its so simple and easy to use.
Awesome app! We play pictionary with our 10th grade homeroom students and this has solved our problem of having to create old-school cards!! They love it, thanks.
Doesn't have any annoying ads and is very simple and easy to use! Very elegant and useful and does its job perfectly! Overall, AMAZING app! Just what we were looking for.
Perfect for dull parties or a generally great time. Great idea for an app. Really dig it.
We absolutely love this app! So much fun to whip out when you're bored hanging out friends. So simple and easy to use.
This is the perfect ap to have ready for on the go games. We used it at a church party for a spur of the moment game of charades. The kids love catch phrase too. Worth getting.
So simple and fun. Finally, we have been waiting for this for forever.
So simple to use and it can really be a fun and easy way to entertain a group of friends. Our favorite is catch phrase.
Won't change from the easy mode, please fix, it's a great app, lots of fun, thanks.
We love this app but we keep getting the same words we need more words! And an optional timer would be great! Best app we've ever downloaded.
Worked perfectly for a game night at our house!!! The only thing that could have made it any better would have been a built in timer.
Played pictionary today with some 2nd graders and they loved it.
App does not support iOS 9. Spinning wheel won't work. Can't change categories or level of difficulty. Please fix, we love this app.
The scroller selections don't work on ios9.
We were excited to find this app on a very ling road trip with a fourteen and a six year old since it had different difficulty levels for us to play travel Pictionary of sorts. But, the app is not updated for iOS 9. So we can't select anything other than easy.
Please update! Can no longer change selection wheels. Useless now.
This app is exactly what we were looking for to use in the classroom on party days – pictionary is a big hit! Unfortunately we can't select different levels of difficulty, other games, or other topics. Please update so we don't have to delete.
Can only pick easy and pictionary? How can we fix this.. Easy is fun but only for so long.. Please help.
Doesn't work on iPhone 6 latest OS. Can scroll but not select. Bummerlooked like the perfect party app.
Installed it on our iPhone 6 running iOS 9 and the picker wheel won't allow us to select any settings; the picker wheel opens and spins but won't allow us to touch select anything. We then downloaded the app onto our wife's iPhone 6 which was still running iOS 8 and it worked fine. Please update the app with most current iOS adjustments.
Only lets you select easy and you can't get past that from medium to difficult.
Unable to select anything other than "easy," so unless we're playing Pictionary with a 5 year old the app is completely unusable.
Was great before but now the wheel selectors do not work.
After update, we're no longer able to cycle through and change options, e.g. Change difficulty or game.
Can't play harder words or options on iPhone 6+. Please uodate.
Must have some glitch, we cannot change the game or the difficulty. Tried deleting and redownloading and it didn't fix the problem. We'll give a better rating once it's fixed! We're an iPhone 6 user.
We are having the same problem that we see others are. We cannot change the settings at all because we are updated to iOS 9.
Game doesn't allow you to pick other games nor does it let change levels we.e. Easy, medium, etc.
The game has all these great looking options, but we can't select anything other than pictionary and easy. It would be really awesome if we could change it to make it a little challenging.
The Rolodex scrolling interface to select difficult levels does not allow you to select anything. So is the game type. Seems like an ios9 bug.
