Pros and cons of PassPhrase app for iPhone and iPad

PassPhrase app good for

This is the best f*&(in game my friends and I have ever played!!! 3 out of 4 of us are literally rolling on the floor in pleasure as I type this. Luckily Im able to maintain enough composure to write a review for this incredibly awesome app. Wow, things this funny are usually made in Canada. Adhoc here, waiting for the next release from Oh Hey Bud Productions, obviously an up and coming squad with game-changing potential. Peace, Adhoc
Finally something that I can carry around with me that really brings out the fun when Im at parties! Great app from a great developer - RyPhone is the best!
Had the family over for Christmas dinner and thought it would be the perfect time to try this little app out. Within minutes we were all laughing and crowed around the kitchen table. This is a great game for all ages!!!

Some bad moments

Cant see the full words sometimes because it only says in portrait mode =(
Loved this game before! Wont come out of portrait mode though...
Great work by the producers. Very fun and easy to use. Great for parties and get togethers. I would recommend this to anyone that likes Catch Phrase type games.
I was playing a game like this with a group on a device they had been playing with for a few years. I was at a disadvantage as they were recognizing phrases that they had seen before. A few moments in the App Store and I said, "Here, can we switch to my iPhone?" After a few seconds of instruction, we were right back to the game, refreshed with new content. Perfect. They loved it. Nice work. Sound suggestions: - More Options. The ticking was not very audible against the general chatter. Some more "piercing" options would be nice. - Tempo or Pitch change as the buzzer approaches.
Great game - easy to use - got a new ipod touch for Christmas and this is the first game I purchased!! Works perfectly - Perfect way to keep the kids entertained in the car or friends in the evening.
This game is loads of fun, youre a fan of catch phrase then you need to download this app. Very well made, easy to use, provides hours of fun. With the new update, my main concern was addressed; its now super easy to know when the timer expires, because the screen flashes now. My only advice to the developer is to add more words/phrases. Once again, great app.
