Tough to play

I love the actual Scattergories game, but this is hard to play. 1. The keyboard is so bad. I will hit the “a” for example 5 times before I get an “a”. It is also very sensitive. It takes so much of my time just because the keyboard is terrible. 2. I get that I need to spell things correctly. But come on.... coming up with a word for “X” and not being able to spell it is going to happen. Maybe introduce a word suggestion similar to how the game (app version) Family Feud is done. As you start typing it gives you what you’re trying to say. For example. If I start typing “bed and break...” it’ll pop up with “bed and breakfast” correctly spelled and it allows me to tap it and move on. 3. There are a few glitches with the point system. It’ll say someone else has won when they in fact a haven’t. Others have addressed it in similar reviews and y’all’s explanation was a point booster. I’ve known for a fact that a point booster wasn’t applied and it still happens. Overall, it was fun for the few times I played. But, I will probably be deleting the app after only having it less than a week.

Don’t. Just don’t.

I am a huge fan of the board game Scattergories. I’ve played it since I was a kid. This version, however, is terrible. Where do I start? The keyboard is glitchy and doesn’t work properly. I’ve submitted answers only to see that they’ve been changed after the game is over. When a game is finished, you are able to view your answers and your competitor’s answers. Many times, I have found that the words I type in are different than what the game recorded. Also, answers that are valid have not counted. Example: Category-fictional character. letter N. I answered Nella, the Princess Knight, which is an animated show on Nick Jr. my answer was not counted. This has happened countless times and I have disputed them all. Also, if there is a tie score, your opponent automatically wins. This makes no sense. Finally, I paid to remove ads, yet you are still required to view an ad for the bonus round of a match. Very shady. I understand viewing an ad for extra coins, but to play a bonus round in a match? Come on. Don’t waste your time or money.

Fun game but a few problems.

First off, I’ve been looking forward to seeing an online version of this game for iOS. When I saw it was free, that made it better. It is definitely fun to play.....But, the problems I have seen so far....when reviewing your answers after playing a game, sometimes what you entered as An answer and the answer displayed are different with one or two blank at letters misspelled. The biggest problem I have is after playing for awhile, I got tired of the ads. So, I purchased the remove ads feature for $2.99. So far, after continuing to play, every ad still plays. Nothing was removed. I paid money to get rid of one of the few things about this game that annoys me and it did nothing but take the money. I enjoy playing but get mad that I pay for something that does nothing. It would definitely get a higher rating if that were fixed.

Fun game, major app flaws

The game is addicting. I love it. There are several bugs, and it takes a long time to load. Also, it was fine when it had 5 second adds, but these 30 second ones after every single game make me want to never play again.To the creators/operators: your game is too difficult to play in the sense that you don’t really get to earn a lot of coins with most options. I feel a little scammed since I have to buy more coins to play. Many platforms I want to play, I end up not playing because I won’t earn coins even if I win. You should earn coins every match you win, and it should be significantly more than how many you put in to play, if you win that match. Winning bonus help things doesn’t cut it.I love the game, but I hate how hard it is to earn coins, and I hate that I don’t get to enjoy many different playing options for the sole purpose that I won’t be able to play more.The game itself is 5 Stars.The point system is 1 Star.The app operation is 2 Stars.That’s why it’s an overall 3 star rating. Please add more ways to earn coins and more coins for when you win. It’s kind of ridiculous and ruins it the way you have it now. And your 30 second adds are too long. I desperately want to close out the app every time I get a 30-second add vs the 2 5-second adds.Please improve these functions. It’s so much fun, but super frustrating to navigate and enjoy.

Extremely Limited Vocabulary

This game is fun enough, but there are so many correct answers that the algorithm doesn’t recognize. I’m not talking about obscure words. I’m talking about everyday words, spelled correctly, that should be accepted but aren’t, for no apparent reason. Many times a correct answer will be flagged as “disputed,” and I’ll get 0 points for it. I shouldn’t have to spend time constantly filling out dispute forms over words that every English-speaking person is familiar with.Shouldn’t the algorithm be connected to an online dictionary? That way, legitimate answers won’t constantly be thrown out simply because English is not the developer’s first language, because that is the only reason I can think of for the game’s vocabulary to be this limited. The other problem with the app is that it constantly freezes in the middle of the game, which is extremely frustrating.

Fun though limited, for the few minutes it lasts

This app could be 50 times better (and more profitable for the developer) if it were better designed. For one thing, the categories repeat endlessly. Cooking shows, professional wrestlers, things in an arcade, things at a circus, video games and Words that rhyme with ‘FINE’ are on a continuous loop (I’ve only been playing for a few days and have already seen each of those categories dozens or hundreds of times), while simple and user-friendly categories from Scattergories the card game and Scattergories the board/writing game are not included at all (play as often as you like, play for a week straight, and you’ll NEVER see: Things that are Round, Things that are Sweet, Things that are Expensive, Things in a School, Things in the Ocean, Fruits and Vegetables, Things in the Kitchen, Things in the Bedroom, Things in the Bathroom, etc). But the worst and unforgivable flaw is this: THE GAME STOPS LETTING YOU PLAY AFTER A FEW TURNS, and it tells you you’re out of coins! Every other game app I have would let you play all day if you wanted, though it might make you watch ads from time to time. This one just shows you a sad frowning face and says you’re out of coins! I deleted it. Too pointless and frustrating.

Too many issues to enjoy the game

Scattergories is my favorite board game. I was really happy to see the app. But there are so many issues that it just makes it frustrating and not worth it to play. The keyboard is glitchy and difficult to type on. I spend too much of my game time trying to go back and put in a letter that it didn’t record. Then many times the game ends and it records a different answer than what I typed. Also, I was playing with my sister and I knew she finished the round, as she sent me a text telling me we picked several of the same answers. I kept going back to the game to view results and play the next one and it still said it was her turn. I closed out completely and went back in, still her turn. Finally after 2 hours it alerted me that she had played. If this app didn’t have so many issues I would definitely pay for the no ad version. You guys are missing out on ad revenue and paid customers because of these same issues that, per the other reviews, have been going on a long time.

I give up

This was fun for awhile, but the app just gets worse and worse. First, lately it hardly even loads. What’s the use of trying to play tournaments when you can only get it to work once a day? Second, after you play for awhile, you end up only being able to play about two games at a time unless you win (to earn more coins) or unless you are willing to pay money to play further. When I first started out, there were more rewards. But as I advanced, there were fewer rewards and fewer coins available to win. Speaking of winning, it’s hard to win when they change your answers or don’t realize what your answer means. I guess sometimes they change it to something that benefits you, but sometimes they change it and then they throw it out. Also they have a super sensitive “offensive word” filter, but then that means if the word you wrote happens to have a PART of a word that MIGHT seem offensive, you can’t use it at all and you don’t get counted for it...even if it’s not even remotely a bad word. So yeah, I love Scattergories, but this one is way too frustrating to mess with.

So addicting!

This game is fun and exciting! I'm addicted to it. There are a few bugs with it but over all I love it. Some problems I have seen are that they sometimes accept an answer and other times the same answer won't be accepted. You have the option to "dispute" if you don't agree with your results but I haven't seen anything come from disputing. I'm not sure if they actually read them or not. Another problem is that sometimes even when an answer is correct they won't take it. And yes you can dispute it but you still don't get your points. For example: the letter is "C" and the category is "cereal" and my answer was "captain crunch" but it wasn't accepted. We all know captain crunch is a kids cereal but still I didn't get my points. Also I have noticed if I play against my friend, it will say we both won, but when you look at the score, one is clearly higher then the other. And the last problem with this game is that even if I win a round, it costs more to play that round then what I get for winning. This must be a way to try and get people to spend actual money. But like i said, I love this game and it's worth playing.

I grew up playing this. This app is awful!

So for starters answers are 10 here and not 1. Getting two words starting with the same letter does nothing. But a “unique” answer will be worth 12... No explanation on what unique is.Half the time it’s wrong. I put jasmine and my opponent put jen. We both got 0 for DUPLICATE ANSWERS?! No dispute option. Sometimes you get a dispute option but this doesn’t actually dispute squat as the winner has been awarded and the game will never be brought back up again. So it’s an “error” button that isn’t even available half the time you should be able to dispute it. I even got an answer censored for vulgarity when I answered “big black rocks”... for space objects. ROCKS. Big black rocks! Censored. This game is a joke and idk HOW it has so many good reviews. It’s nothing like the game and the automated system for scoring is broken. The game is more about what answer will the program accept. I even had it award my opponent and say mine wasn’t qualified when their answer had no relation to the question. It was a random word and they won.
