Who it's for

This app is for groups of friends or couples looking for a digital version of Truth or Dare for social gatherings R13R15R37. It might appeal to those who enjoy a mix of family-friendly and more extreme questions, provided they are willing to pay for premium content R7R425. It is NOT for users who expect a fully free experience, are sensitive to frequent ads, or are concerned about inappropriate content for younger players R11R79R302.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to the introduction of a paywall and excessive ads, which contradicts the developer's notes claiming 'Other Enhancements' and 'bug fixes, small improvements and performance enhancements.' While the lifetime rating is 4.18, the recent negative sentiment (0.24 recent-negative) indicates a significant downturn in user experience following the latest update. Positive reviews are often short and generic, lacking specific details, making it harder to weigh them against detailed negative feedback.

  7. [R425] 3/5 · AU Pretty good: A large group of us just played the truth questions over dinner as a way to spark deeper conversation . On teen mode the questions were more philosophical/ story telling which we really liked . It was great there was no sexual questions in this level .
  8. [R2] 4/5 · US Pretty good but one thing: The game is pretty useful when me and others wanna play truth or dare but one problem that stands out is that you need to pay for most of the features. That being said however I would recommend using this if you ever run out of truth or dare ideas
  9. [R5] 5/5 · US This game sucks but: I have to pay for this
  10. [R6] 2/5 · US free trial is bs: i wanted to see what the questions were like before committing to the $20 and you guys scammed me. the whole point of a free trial is to test out the features and make sure it’s worth the $$$. the questions are bad and you guys trapped me into spending $20. i want a refund
  11. [R11] 2/5 · US Two Stars ⭐️ ⭐️: I see the vision but they have to make the dares difficult and also why do you have to pay like what!! 😠this should be free and fun! It was kinda boring because it just kept doing all the same stuff so it was really boring!🥱

  17. [R203] 1/5 · GB Scam: Stole £19.99 out of my account without me confirming any transactions. Played game once then never looked at again as it’s not very good either.
  18. [R260] 1/5 · GB Accidental subscription: Hello I would like to say my daughter was on my phone and was messing about with this app that I used to play with my friends and she bought a subscription. I’ve been trying to contact the owners of this game for my money back thank you.
  19. [R49] 3/5 · US Truth or dare: The game is fun but kids under 16 should not be able to see all of the choices cause some are nasty

  24. [R67] 1/5 · US Bad do not get: There was nothing interesting and the games sucked tried to play it with my girlfriend but it was terrible
  25. [R146] 1/5 · US This app is terrible: I came back from Walmart and wanted to play a game so I downloaded this game, sadly. This game has the worst questions. Never downloaded this game. It’s so terrible.
  26. [R308] 1/5 · GB Woah: The spelling is atrocious 💀
  27. [R319] 3/5 · GB 🥲: I’m pretty sure a 12 year old made this app, the words are not even spelled right and some sentences don’t make sense
  28. [R328] 3/5 · GB Good I guess: Ok everything was going fine until lots of ads came and I played this on FaceTime the the call kept ending and I feel like the person that made this is really young because I’ve spotted a few spelling mistakes and bad grammar but everything else it’s quite a good game but I will have to rate 3stars
  29. [R227] 1/5 · GB YOU CANT DELETE THIS APP: every time i try to delete this app, it takes me back in to try and get me to email them. The thing is, when I press the email button to try and get out of this hell of an app, itll tell me device not found. I dont know what I did to deserve this, what crimes ive committed in my past life, but all I want is to delete this app without being thrown in to the mindless loop o
  30. [R244] 1/5 · GB Not revived content: Purchased a year on it and it hasn’t worked
  31. [R79] 1/5 · US THIS APP IS DOOKIE: Thai app is so dookie bro, you have to pay for everything and like I’m broke?, spending ur money on this game is a bad idea we only have 1 topic like who would want that, and if u say be thankful, I’m not because this is a horrible game like make it more free for the people who want to use like ur just being unfair at this point.
  32. [R259] 3/5 · GB Oh no: I used to love this game it was amazing with all the different categories. Now u have to pay for them which is so annoying. Like no university student is going to pay money for truth and dare. They are just going to look for questions on the internet for free its just kinda silly. All these apps that are trying to charge for premium 😞
  33. [R66] 1/5 · US Subscription???: $20/year for a game that doesn’t really need any special content? No thanks. Should be a one time purchase. Even $20 is steep considering i can go buy a printed game for the same or less.
  34. [R331] 3/5 · GB Ok but Ads?: This is a great app I play it with my friends on FaceTime but the ads? There is so many that when I counted in an hour I got 63 ads! That’s a lot and the only way to stop ads is if you pay and you get ads every 2 mins which is like so annoying Sort this out and your lucky I actually rated it something Thanks
  35. [R339] 3/5 · GB Hi: I’m not usually one to complain about ads because they have to be there to keep it free. But there is an ad after every one. I’m not even kidding.
  36. [R340] 3/5 · GB Toooooo many ads: It is a great app amazed that you don't have to pay for each category but there is really toooooooooo many ads
  37. [R303] 1/5 · GB Horrible game inappropriate on the kids one: I have no words
