Paywall
I thought this app was free and was interested in trying it out. Turns out there’s some paywall at the beginning that stops you from doing anything. If this app had the option to try it for free before blowing $10, i wouldn’t be leaving this review.
not free
paid subscription to access the questions. don’t know what the developers are thinking, no one with half a mind is paying to access QUESTIONS you could easily find elsewhere.
extremely misleading
the instagram ads and account for this app are super fun and cute. i wanted to give this app a chance because of it, however, as soon as i opened this app i was hit with a paywall. either commit to the free trial or don’t use the app at all…the free trial is only for 3 days and is 14.99 a week after that.
14.99 a week for an app that has questions you could find on a pinterest post or a blog online.
14.99 a week…for….that? useless, misleading app.

wouldn’t let me x out kept trying to make me pay in order to see the cards
i had downloaded this app to play with my boyfriend , but once i downloaded it i straight up said try for 0$ but it was actually 14$ , i kept looking for the x out button but it was not there , i swiped out of the app many times but no luck . please fix this.
cash grab
forces you into a three day "free trial" and doesn't give you the option to say no. you literally have to delete the app and reinstall to bypass that stupid free trial screen, and even then it might not work. You'd be better off taking the questions from their ig page at this point.
Cash grab to the max
I see these questoon all over insta amd thougjt it would be fun for me andmy bf. I open the app to a paywall and an overpriced subscription. 0 stars. Why would you do this (im looking at tou devs)? Fix it or lose all of yoyr nonsubscrovers. Do better
NOPE.
From my experience, as soon as i opened the app i was bombarded with free trial this, and spend money that. unbelievable! Good questions though, i saw them on instagram.
Consumer fraud in the big 2026, seriously?
I might as well ask ChatGPT to generate these dang questions for me. No where on instagram or here on the AppStore did you mention that you need a subscription, and it’s a violation of Apple and Google developer guidelines to lie and say a paid app is free. You should change your code ASAP before you get mass reported on here and all of your socials.
This app sucks.
Nothing but money hungry.
This is not ideal
I have js downloaded this game, but it’s stuck at the free trial paywall. There is no x no nothing. You have to agree to $14.99 a week and a free 3 day trial if you want to get to the questions. It’s not worth it.
Took away free cards
The app decided to take away the free card options that let you get a peek of the type of questions in the full subscription. It now immediately asks you to subscribe. Will not be recommending this game anymore.
money grabber
I was reading through reviews, many of the good ones seem fake. a bunch have mentioned that the app is expensive. I downloaded this game because of the instagram account. once I downloaded it, I opened it, and it immediately opened up to a subscription screen. there was no X, no “not now” button, nothing to show you don’t want to pay for a subscription. I don’t know if it was a glitch, but it’d be ridiculous if you couldn’t use the app unless you pay.
Latest update locks it behind paywall
I used this app a while back with my girlfriend and it was great & had a lot of good questions. Now it’s just permanently locked behind needing a subscriptions. I’ll just google some questions at this point 😂 Ridiculous
Paywall
I hate that this app is permanently locked behind a paywall fix this
Misleading
I think the concept is great, and the free questions seem really fun. I wanted to do a free 3 day trial, but you have to agree to $14.99 a week to unlock which is INSANE. And also, the description in the App Store says it’s only $4.99/a week. (Which is still high) but also very misleading that they get you for $14.99 when you actually sign up.
Cancelled and still being charged!
I cancelled this and they are charging me $14.99 every week. I have a screenshot that shows my subscription is cancelled yet they are still charging me. Who do I contact to stop this?! I reached out to Apple for a refund, waiting on their review process. Because of this I will never use this app again.
Everything is locked
Only 1 topic is unlocked, everything else you have to pay for which I think is really stupid.
So upset
This app after I got the subscription for fun with friends temporary, continued to charge me after I went through my Apple ID and manually cancelled. I was charged then every 7 days 15 dollars !!! Caused me to receive $60 overdraft fees!! I now have to email there company for multiple refunds. They tried to sneak charge me numerous times.
Expensive
Honestly I think paying $15 a week for some virtual cards with questions that I would barely use is crazy. If this company wants to make money they should consider doing ads OR a 1 time payment of $10. This card game is $60 a month (that is more than my gym membership, some bills, insurance etc. this is absolutely crazy and I deleted the app within 7 seconds of downloading it.
15$ a week is insane
The price is ridiculous
It’s $16 a week
To see any of the packs, it’s $16/week. That’s $64/month… for questions.
Price on App Store Different Than in App
The App Store description cites a reasonable $4.99 per week. However when clicking the free trial in app, it says you will be changed $14.99 per week. That is either a numerical error or intentionally misleading.
USER BEWARE OF FRAUD
Would give ZERO stars if possible. Will not allow you to cancel subscription. Had to report this to my credit agency as fraud.
Falsely offering 3 day free trial
I downloaded this app to give it a try, started a free trial, I didn’t end up using it and I ended up cancelling the same day only to be charged $10 for nothing.
Flamingo is a scam
I payed for the premium version of this, and it wont even let me access any of the locked cards. Totally scam. Waste of money completely. The free version is great but DO NOT PAY FOR THE PREMIUM.
App will overcharge you! Scammers!
I had subscribed and got $10.66 taken out of my wallet FOUR TIMES in a month for multiple months. I was dumb to not check my bank statement monthly until I checked it this month. Flamingo Cards have been taking about $44.00 monthly since May. That is about $300 since May!!!!! What a scam.
Scam alert
Auto renewal impossible to stop!
Disappointed
Don’t bother reading the 5 star reviews there all fake because everything they said is not true not only do you have to pay for the cards but the cards that you have for free the questions aren’t even good so I’m assuming that the cards you have to pay for are just as bad as the free ones
It doesn’t let you play other game modes and it’s too overpriced for that.
That ain’t cool unless your game ain’t worth that much.
Wrongfully charged 10 dollars
DON’T GET THE FREE TRIAL!! I got their “free 3-day trial”, and ended up getting charged 10 dollars. NO WHERE does it even mention that amount of money for ANYTHING. That’s 10 dollars down the drain. Requested a refund and still waiting for an email back. Scam.
Yo bro what
. Yo bro what
Doesn’t work
Charged me for the subscription but doesn’t give me access when I try to pay
Oh no
App is not working i deleted and downloaded 3 times
8/2023
They are a fraud!! Offered $5 to give a 5STAR review and when I did they didn’t pay and stopped replying!
$5 weekly subscription
Why would you make a party app a weekly subscription. People would use it maybe once of twice a week. Just make it a premium bundle you pay once. Or have cost a dollar each :/
Not free anymore?
I went to play this game one night. It’s been free, but now it isn’t? I was seriously looking forward to play this game. Why isn’t it free anymore?
Glaring issues and no customer service
I really liked the idea of this, and I had a lot of fun sharing the prompts with friends at dinner and through our group chats. Unfortunately, there are a couple of glaring functionality issues.
First, there’s no obvious way to restore purchases. I looked all over the app and could not find this feature. So when I re-downloaded the app on a new phone, I could not find a way to get my subscription back. I tried to cancel and sign back up for the trial, and ended up getting double charged for my subscription. When I went to reach out to customer service, both on their text line and their email, I got no answer.
Second, there’s no way to go back to the previous sets of questions. So once you get through a full set and it refreshes to give you your next set, you can’t go back to previous ones. Since I was using this app with multiple friend groups, I want the ability to go back and couldn’t figure that out either.
If either of these features are available in the app, it’s extremely difficult to find and not obvious for the average user. I won’t be recommending this app and I canceled my subscription.

Cool idea, poor execution
Definitely a fun evening of questions, but eventually getting kicked back to the main menu every time “a new question was added” got old.
Also, the subscription is comically expensive.

I was robbed
I loved this app before, would always use it with my friends, I got a free trial and canceled, never touched the app again. I added a card to my Apple account and was charged a few days later! $10 for no reason! I got into contact with them and said they couldn’t offer a refund and they have been ignoring me ever since! All I want is my money back this is crazy that I was robbed!
Pricing is Nuts!
App has good questions, but $9.99 a week is unlawful.
meh
good questions for the couples version but you get to pick one pack and then have to pay to unlock the rest so i deleted it🤷🏼♀️
Stuck
Sticks on the same card pack and you can't change categories.
