## Heads Up! Reviews in New Zealand

### *---- "Extortionate in game purchases"
So you pay to get the game and you have to pay to even use any good decks bc the ones you get are awful. And the cost for the packs isn’t just couple dollars it’s like minimum 10
-- Lizzlehw, 2024-10-24

### *---- "Very buggy"
Downloaded this game again to play with the kids and it kept kicking out. Couldn’t even play through a round. Pretty dumb.
-- dontdothistome, 2024-05-26

### *---- "Not worth it"
The app works well enough, but so not worth the money. The fact that you pay for the app itself is enough. Turns out you only get a handful of different decks to go through ( that will repeat themselves on and off), and then if you want anything else you’re looking at spending at least another $10 for anything worth getting. Just an absolute cash grab. Disappointed
-- Emmmmurrr, 2022-10-30

### ***** "Heads up app"
Super funny! I like the updates on the free app
-- Kita_7, 2022-01-06

### *---- "Can’t get out of ads!"
Seriously hacked off, can’t play as stuck in ads and no option to close down
-- jenwdwd, 2021-12-25

### *---- "Needs fixing"
This doesn’t even load up on my iPad, drops out can’t access it at all
-- Tailsnz, 2021-10-05

### *---- "Needs an update"
Haven’t been able to play because it keeps freezing! Annoying that you have to pay to download and it doesn’t work..
-- rfzy13, 2021-02-26

### *---- "Doesn’t load"
Purchased up through apple store and game will not load once selected. Not too sure why so had to purchase another similar app which worked.
-- BB3097, 2021-02-21

### *---- "Awful"
You have to pay to download the app and then pay for EVERYTHING in the app, a part from like 3 categories. Not worth it.
-- isobelV1222, 2020-08-28

### *---- "Constantly crashes"
Can’t even play it :( waste of money
-- Steakyy, 2020-08-09

### ***** "Awesome game! We play this all time !"
Just wow
-- staueki, 2020-05-23

### ***** "Covid-19"
Good quarantine game to play!

### ***** "Best group fun ever"
Love this game when playing amongst friends. So many genres to keep it interesting
-- Stevohiggins!!!!!, 2020-02-07

### *---- "Really bad, DONT GET IT!!!!"
App keeps crashing. Haven&#039;t been able to maintain the app open for more than 30 seconds, let alone play.
-- luly0916, 2019-07-14

### **--- "Awesome game but has become laggy and slow"
I downloaded this app a few years ago and it worked great but recently it has become so slow on my iPad that it’s not really usable. It lags and sometimes crashes. Too bad as it used to be good.
-- ZoidTheAewsome, 2019-01-01

### *---- "Hate it"
It keeps lagging off and it&#039;s pissing me off
-- Goobaroo, 2018-10-26

### ***** "Awesome"
How awesome is it’s to play a game that really gets u thinking on the spot and fast good game to play with friends and family 👍🏼
-- Kram682, 2018-09-05

### ****- "Great"
This is a great app but if I could make a suggestion it would be to make a New Zealand deck haha
-- Fayhfjvfeyhvc, 2017-11-02

### ***** "Fun game"
I played it with my nieces today, they just started getting into pretty little liars so that topic was very popular
-- Daenjah, 2017-10-22

### ***** "Heads up"
Great family game
-- Emily Galbraith, 2017-10-16
