  10. [R1] Pocket Whip 1/5 · US Dealbreaker: Every day I used to wake up and whip my brother to make me breakfast. He was always very responsive with the real whip but after serving 10 years in prison for whipping him I had to switch to this app. He’d always just laugh at me and fall back asleep so I had to make my own breakfast. Farm became less productive but that just might be the new fertilizer. Fun sounds tho

  12. [R76] Hair Trimmer Prank! 2/5 · US Brh.: Doesn’t even trim hair 🙄
  13. [R120] Hair Trimmer Prank! 1/5 · US Misleading.: I downloaded this app after my hair had gotten out of control, but I could not afford a haircut or electric trimmers of my own. I saw this app and thought I was saved! Alas, this app does not actually cut hair. Do better.
  14. [R47] Pocket Whip 4/5 · US Good but: There should be more free whips available
  15. [R64] Hair Trimmer Prank! 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: Can’t even use the app just keeps advertising different games and never goes to the actual app. Completely useless and a waste of of time.

  17. [R103] Hair Trimmer Prank! 1/5 · US Garbage app loaded bloated with ads: Garbage app bloated with ads. Couldn’t even get to the parts of the app for the reason I downloaded it. Wish nothing but pain and bad karma for the developer of the app. The only good reviews you see for this app are from the developer themselves and friends and families of the developers. You should have been aborted.
  18. [R108] Hair Trimmer Prank! 1/5 · US Ad overload: Look for a better app, this one works ok, not great, but there are so many in app purchases and ads every five seconds.
