Insane price
game is fun but why is it $9.99 a week to play? not even a month but a every week? who realistically is paying for that?
Terrible
You can only play if you subscribe. Don’t waste your time. 0 stars if possible for how they advertise you can play for free.
Can’t try the game
Downloaded the game and wanted to try it but it wouldn’t let me play without agreeing to a “free trial”. Why can’t I try it before seeing if I want the paid version?
Waste of money
It lets you download the game for free but nothing on it is free, you can even see anything involving the game unless you get their “premium subscription” it’s a scam, why would anyone pay EVERY SINGLE WEEK to be able to see the same cards that never change
Catfish
its free to download but you have to pay to play 10$ a week is crazy
Scam!
Literally locking the game behind a pay wall is ridiculous. $10 a WEEK?! $40 a month, $480 a year! Scummy devs.
ITS NOT FREEEEE
all of it cost money
Costs money
Scummy thing to do honestly. Seems free but requires a membership just to play. Get a life developer
SCAM - $10 per week
App is a scam. Marketed as free, but charges $10 PER WEEK to use.
Scam - Do Not Download
$9.99 a week for this????
forced to start a free trial to get in the app
why are you making me subscribe to a free trial (when we all know it's a ploy to get people to accidentally spend money when they don't cancel the trial!) just to get into the app! disgusting capitalists
LOL $10 A WEEK?!?!
This game isn’t worth $520 a year. Thats insanity. It’s a dumb little game that is fun for one night at a party, but now $10 a week? Shouldn’t even be allowed on the App Store.
$10- WEEKLY
Not even Netflix asks for that much in a month. Can’t even play with 2-3 players for free anymore.
No free option
If there’s no free option, why have it on the App Store for free?
greedy
Free to download but to actually play you have to pay $9.99 a WEEK. Be so for real. Disappointing, this is just greedy and your game isn’t that fun that it’s worth $10 a week. Massive L.
hate it!!!
i played it once for 2 minutes and never played again… it’s been charging my grandmothers for about a month now and i’ve had no clue!!! i didn’t even like the game, nor did i want to pay for it at all😠.
Scam alert
Free on the App Store, then when you try to play, it requires you to purchase the “premium” version which is $10, or else you can’t play at all. Played this game awhile ago when it was actually free like it said, what a shame.
Nerfed
Used to be fun, but paying $9.99 a week all of the sudden to play is ridiculous. Unbelievable, horrible game
Can’t play the game unless you pay in app
Can’t play this useless mobile game unless you pay $10 a week ($40 a month) which is not only ridiculous but also frustrating because there is no free option. Get better
new update ruined the game
i literally just got this game last night, i noticed it needed to update and the description said “fixes critical crash in IOS 17” but instead it downloaded a critical crash into the game. it no longer works and won’t let me use it anymore, it continues to crash everytime i click on it.
3 HOODS ? In my city
Very unprofessional to ask for 3 HOODS in my city
Not cool ……
Not cool ……
Don’t download
It’s not a free trial.
It said free trial I figured I’d try it and was immediately charged 10.71. It said no charge until October 2nd. Don’t download they even said I was not eligible for a refund and as soon as I realized they charged me I rejected the app and canceled the subscription. I’m never going to keep an app I cannot trust.

Not for POC
Iykyk…..something to do but half of it is for the caucus people from the land of caucuses (Iykyk).
Immediately Deleted
Looked possibly fun so I downloaded the app, only to find that everything down to custom cards is behind a (absolutely ridiculous, at $5 a WEEK) paywall. No thanks. It'd be easier and more fun to just make my own flashcards at that point.
Sneakily takes your money every week!
This game is fun but I just found out its been charging me $2.99 every week without my knowledge. Be aware!
too boring
really boring tasks
Racist questions
“Name three hoods in your city”
You can’t buy the expansion
You literally cannot buy the $2.99 week on, it just gets stuck loading

Consumer warning: scam alert
A weekly 2.99/ subscription just to unlock the same unchanging, never updated content. You should be able to buy add on packs at a one off price- I’d be happy to support. I respect app developers and content creators and they should be compensated for their work. However, a weekly subscription model in this context is purposely deceptive, and you can tell they hope you download, briefly use the app and then abandon it. All in the hopes of you not noticing the continuing weekly charge and then cancelling. This is against Apples own subscription model guidelines, but both Apple and Daygames don’t care as long as they are making money off of people who don’t know any better. Have some integrity... I knew to cancel but a lot consumers don’t, and that’s what the creators are banking on. Please everybody save your money and just buy the physical version. A weekly subscription should be for a continued weekly service, not just for access to unchanging content. There is a reason they don’t offer subscription tiers - 2.99 weekly/ 12 monthly / 156 yearly - because consumers would be alerted to the low value for the actual cost. They are taking advantage of a loophole, because legally reprimanding this behavior could potentially damage legitimate weekly subscription apps that deserve to be paid weekly. Again have some integrity...
Scam
Says free before downloading but will attempt to trap you in a $3 per week subscription
Not free
you have to pay to play
No Free game option
Download for free but MUST pay and subscribe to actually play. There is no free play. You can’t exit the subscribe to play screen.
No longer free
forces you to either free trial it and pay or don’t play…
$$$
TOO EXPENSIVE
