★★★★★ Paul Southgate · Aug 5, 2026

I will give my opinion later because I have not used this app. For any length of time.

★★★★★ Janice Wilson · Aug 31, 2026

It gets your brain working. It is great fun, and you win money as well as enjoying yourself. It's nice and colorful it doesn't use much of your battery, so you can go out and play on itilove this colorful food one it makes you look twice which is good for your attention. It's good for all ages .if you do get such you have 2 bottom that can help you, and you get gifts as you go a long. They come in different shapes and sizes.

I was on signal before my old went dead on me, so I had to get this new phone the service was great I just wañt to come back now

★☆☆☆☆ Ivy Wang · Aug 7, 2026

Personally when I downloaded this app I really didn't like it it had ads, and you needed a SIM card to do everything on it, so I didn't really like it because I didn't have a SIM card at the time when I downloaded the app plus it wasn't very good app anyway

★☆☆☆☆ Ed Stenson · Sep 4, 2026

Keeps messing wiyh my notifications, stops them, have to keep checking indiv>dually to see who sent messages, no group text messages are being received. And there's an ad every time I go to send or lool for ssages.

★☆☆☆☆ Lenna Scott · Jul 28, 2026

Annoying that with every call in and out, I am taken to a summary screen that has phone #, duration, and asks if I want to set it as default. I HAVE SET IT AS DEFAULT AT LEAST 10 TIMES!!! I'm DONE!

★☆☆☆☆ Deborah Gorrell · Jul 30, 2026

I love being able to set family and friends top of texts. Strangers beneath and delete message when block. Obviously, your setup is not satisfying my expectations.
