Horrible Now
This app used to be fun to play. I’m a paid user. They forced you to open to the challenges and they error out every time. I would like my money back. Unreal way to treat your users. They’ve spent so much time adding in animations and don’t care about our experience.
Very buggy

Wish the app worked
Having a very annoying issue where I click the green checkmark to guess but nothing happens. Game is unplayable because of that
pay to play
just buy 5 star:)
Money Hungry Game
For a simple game about finding where you are These games give no options at all I gotta pay just so I can play one single round and What’s the point of putting this on the App Store without disclaiming that this game is all about spending money to play a simple game
Have to pay to play
Game used to be amazing. Unfortunately you have to buy a membership to play just about any game mode now. Lame.
Stop this
So for some reason I can’t play a regular game of geoguessr because they block me with a paywall and I don’t like that
Pay to play
That you have to pay to play solo mode is ridiculous. The multiplayer aspect of this I could understand, but virtually everything is behind a paywall.
Impossible to play
When I tried to play the screen either showed nothing or just told me I had to pay.
Don’t buy this game it doesn’t work
Can only play daily challenge because every time I try to play classic mode it sends me back to the sign in page
very disappointed.
i love the idea! i do! i used to play this as a kid but… having to pay for everything but daily challenges? really? what is there to do than the one daily map? it’d be one thing if it was a one-time purchase, that’d be fine, but it’s a subscription? jeez! at this point i’ll just drop myself somewhere in google maps and cover the info with my hand.
WORST EXPERINCE EVER
Can’t even sign in to play ….. everything is unclear, codes in emails don’t even work it’s always an error, worst development team in history of alll humankind, and you expect people to pay for this ???????????? This is absolutely (*********) pathetic if I could give less than one star I would give negative infinite
Get to play 1 daily challenge a day
Downloaded after years of wanting to play and you literally can’t play without buying a “pro” membership. I’m good I’ll just watch people play
We’re not giving you our email!
This company began requiring email before continuing playing. I deleted it instead. Fire the moron who thought of that brilliant idea.
Bad
Too many changes - they are blatantly trying to extract $s. I understand making money, but this app is an example of how beautiful things can be ruined by a pursuit for profit.
Pay to play
Yeah, sounded fun until you find out you basically have to pay to play despite App Store saying free.
Everything behind a paywall. $6 a day. Super gay
Really dumb
Bad
It sucks you have to pay for everything and everything I do it just resets the app and I have to start over do not get the app if you don't want to pay
Bad
Bad
Bad
You have to pay if you want to play anything at all except for the daily challenge once per day. Thought it would be a cool game to get into, but it’s horrible unless you pay.
Жадность разработчика
Игра очень крутая, крутой концепт, реализация тоже на высоте. Но буквально если ты не заплатишь ты не поиграешь, мертвый мультиплеер не за горами
Really? Subscriptions?
Why do we have to pay so much to play this game? Y’all would get a lot more business and money if you made it a cheap one time purchase. No way I’m paying that for a mobile game!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
Everything is under a paywall in this game. You literally cannot do anything unless you pay for a monthly/yearly subscription. If you’re going to make your players pay to play, then you might as well have to pay to download the game.
DONT BUY THIS GAME
EVERYTHING COST YOU CANT EBEN HAVE A PARTY AT THIS POINT MAKE THE GAME COST
Trash
This game is trash you have to pay to do anything you can only do daily challenges and you can’t do anything else for the next 24 hours
This sucks!
I’m not paying to play a game that used to be free. So sad!
WHY do I have to pay
It’s good when you get to play the daily challenge but that you have to pay for a subscription to guess where an image is just isn’t good
Can’t even play
Completely paywalled, not able to play without subscription
Not for play game
For pay game
Monthly subscription GFY
50$ a year for this game is an insult. Developers should be thrown in a pit and buried alive.
Can’t play!🙄
When I try to do a classic game, it makes me go “pro” which I can’t afford that because bills are high.. but the only thing I can play is the daily game which is a one time thing. BORING
Expensive game used to be free
You can only play one challenge a day. Anything over that and expect to pay 6.99 a month. You never had to pay for this game when it was first released.
Have to pay
Have to literally pay an absurd amount of monthly or yearly money to actually play more than five games a day. Plus, the only games you can play are significantly harder than previously before the update, there were some locations that could have been anywhere with the only clue being how the road was painted, and me being a casual player, didn’t know how to tell. Money hungry pigs
Lack of Availability For Non Pro Members
The game is great and all but why is the only thing available to non premium members is the daily challenge that you have to wait an entire day for upon completion and Premium members get access to everything else? I find that unfair, sensing that you’re not making a lot of money with this strategy.
Hard
I was scared
Dump
Donat dump
Amazing game
Amazing P2W game
yall are too greedy.
listen I have an undying love for these guessing games but there’s no way in hell I’m going to open the app once a day play one game and then close it for the day and no I’m not paying to be able to play more than one game this is ridiculous
One star
Why do I have to buy the monthly subscription just to play
More play time, better clues
I’ve played this game with a friend once, and it looked interesting so I gave it a try. The game needs more clues, more time and more options than to pay for everything. Don’t think I’ll be keeping the game.
Pay to play
I get that half the game you can play normal but I downloaded to play with friends in a party and I have to pay for it it’s dumb and I uninstalled right after I found that out
I don’t want to pay
This is a great game, but you have to pay for 90% of the game and it is just not worth it. Used to be fun until the paywall came.😔
Pay to play
Got to play one daily challenge then it wanted me to pay 4 dollars a month to play anything else.
horrible
web version is better. this as an app is horrible & forces you to pay for everything. Not even enjoyable
Unplayable without paying
Don’t waste your time.
Way Too Expensive for What It Is
I saw some YouTube videos that made me want to try playing this in my spare time, but I quickly realized I would have to pay to play. I hate subscriptions and would much rather make a one-time purchase, but whatever, I figured I would just pay for the lowest tier and just play with only a few features unlocked. Except I quickly realized that unless you pay for one of the more expensive tiers, you’re barely able to do anything at all and have to spend tons of time waiting to play, which was not explained at all when I paid for it. Waste of money.
ETA: when I canceled my subscription, this was the message I received: “You'll miss out on these Pro Basic benefits:
Unlimited play
Classic and community maps
Multiplayer
Host parties”
What a wild, blatant lie. There is absolutely no unlimited play at this level.

One free round but pay for everything else
Saw this game on YouTube and decided to play it because it looked fun. Tried to make a single player game, but couldn’t because you have to buy Pro. Yes, the daily challenges are free, but it’s only one round. Definitely not worth downloading if you want to play for free.
Absolutely the dumbest thing ever
So I had the game and I un download it to restart the levels when I re downloaded the game they did NOT have the levels instead they had a daily level which is mid but ALMOST EVERYTHING you need to “pro” which is like 5$ per month and I wish I could rate this lower
Pay to play
It’s not fun when you have to pay to play with friends, it makes no sense.
New version is 99% pay to play
No more free play modes at all. You get 1 round and then have to wait 8 hours. No go. Another app ruined. I’ll write my own with AI in 10 minutes and play that instead, good luck devs.
