Stupid
It lets you create your own category but you need coins for it and it said if you play a round, you'll get coins, I never did. Don't get this. It's a waste of money, storage and time.
★★★★ Ryamn Harris 3/29/2026 v3.5.3
Why does this take points to make your own headband quiz
I wis h it didn’t take points to make ur own quiz, it’s better to get the headband that cost money.
★★★★ Branda smith 3/27/2026 v3.5.3
ABSOLUTELY NOT
I tried to play this game with my family and I had to pay whenever I was just trying to have fun with my family. I cannot believe this this is insanely not good. I WOULD not download this game. I would not recommend if you don’t want to pay money then don’t get it.
★★★★ kkaassffwwqq 3/23/2026 v3.5.2
Not fun to play, boring app
Do not recommend

Making me pay when I did a free trial
I only played once and it was boring then it kept charging my card so I couldn’t download any games
★★★★ dh sus 2/24/2026 v3.5.1
Predatory Billing
I downloaded this app to play headbands during a party. Little did I know it would charge $8 every week. Never spent so much money on an app in my life. Canceled now and will never use this again!
★★★★ Autocutie0009 2/1/2026 v3.5.0
It’s okay
It’s a fun game and everything. But I just wanted to try the premium version for a month and felt as if it was just the same. Now I can’t figure out how to cancel the stupid subscription that is way too high in my opinion.
★★★★ aaaandieee 1/13/2026 v3.4.9
Charges you without your knowledge
I’ve never accepted anything and I just realized they have been charging 8$ every week since almost 2 months!
Don’t download this thing
★★★★ Its not this app 1/11/2026 v3.4.9
Na
Game is fun canceled subscription and was still charged. Hate apps like this
★★★★ Zldnosnsk 1/10/2026 v3.4.9
Scam
I signed up for a free trial and they IMMEDIATELY charged my card the same night. I cancelled the subscription the next day but I haven’t received a refund. Never trusting anything this developer puts out.
★★★★ Cinnasixseven 12/28/2025 v3.4.8
😡
Just trying to pay is ridiculous
★★★★ ava becker 12/27/2025 v3.4.8
i can’t believe this.
this game….. is sooo good!
★★★★ Blakebrandon1 12/24/2025 v3.4.8
Rip off weekly charge
I can’t believe an app like this would charge $8 per WEEK!
★★★★ mikihayes 12/21/2025 v3.4.8
Ai Slop Game
It's full of ai images and also isn't very fun. It also tries to make you buy the premium version every 5 seconds, and without it you can only play like 4 categories. It's a complete knockoff off the game Heads Up, just spend the $2 on that so you can actually have fun.
★★★★ swgoh playa 12/10/2025 v3.4.7
Paid app
Not free
★★★★ 3 day trial? Billed first day. 12/4/2025 v3.4.6
Careful with 3 day trail
Redundant clues and was billed for year even though 3 day trial was selected. Attempted to cancel the same day. We will see if developer will respond to email.
★★★★ Alonzo’s review 11/29/2025 v3.4.6
Cost money when go into app
It costs money like why I am broke and not gonna spend money on a game but I wanna have fun
★★★★ ًperson 11/28/2025 v3.4.6
Cash Grab
The game is fun, but the company behind it is shameless about trying to drain your wallet. The moment you open the app, they shove an absurdly overpriced subscription in your face and use every trick they can think of to get you to hand over cash. They even included a pointless in-game currency that does absolutely nothing. If you manage to play without paying, you’re stuck with five boring categories no one actually wants. Honestly, I’m tired of games that are basically money traps or nonstop ad machines like this one.

Headbands
I downloaded it while on Thanksgiving and I played it with my brother and it was very good
★★★★ Art thing ever 11/22/2025 v3.4.6
So bad that it took all my stories
So bad
★★★★ K._.mas 10/11/2025 v3.4.2
AI 😐
The game doesn’t need AI it didn’t before now it does? Crazy work. 😒
★★★★ Courtnnaay_ 9/5/2025 v3.3.7
Subscription required
The app says it’s free to download but makes you pay for a monthly subscription once you open the app
★★★★ TheCerealDudez 9/1/2025 v3.3.6
Cost Money
Buy it assuming it is free. But it cost money to have a plan. What a freaking scam.
★★★★ Spicycorndogs 8/24/2025 v3.3.6
Stop using AI
Lazy and cheap AI images in this game.
★★★★ Fortnight8 8/21/2025 v3.3.6
I thought this game was free
False advertising
★★★★★ JTAHCAMH66 4/2/2026 v3.5.3
Headbands Game Review
This game is only fun if you are willing to pay a lot of money. There are only four categories for you to play without paying and the categories suck because there are like 6 cards in each one. You can only play this game once without getting the same cards OVER AND OVER again. If you are willing to pay for these categories you might as well just go buy Heads Up (the actual version of this game; this game is a knockoff of Heads Up)
★★★★★ Farm lady 1960 1/11/2026 v3.4.9
To much money
WAYY to much money
★★★★★ eternallsoulls 1/5/2026 v3.4.8
Video recording
I like the app but sometimes it doesn’t record the video even when I have the setting turned on and even when it does capture the video it has no sound.
★★★★★ Captain Giggles  1/4/2026 v3.4.8
🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
Fun game but honestly kinda annoying when you open the app to all the subscription pop ups
★★★★★ Caulas 1/4/2026 v3.4.8
Headbands
I pressed the ones that I want but it only gave me 1 that i wanted. I thought this game would come in use but it didn’t 2 stars.
★★★★★ Delainey Hermann 1/1/2026 v3.4.8
Please read this.
I was so excited to play this game I heard amazing things about it but sadly this game costs money.
★★★★★ Gods good all the time_8351 9/14/2025 v3.3.9
Pretty good
It’s good it’s just that you don’t get every category I like it I just wish we could get every category.
★★★★★ @Sky12 8/18/2025 v3.3.6
Not that good
The options for free aren’t good at all. Don’t recommend for people who don’t wanna pay for good options.
★★★★★ Sophie🍉🥸🏐 8/15/2025 v3.3.6
How are you able to play for free?
