Family Feud Reviews

The game in itself is fun, it’s just extremely frustrating because the main mode consists of going up against pre generated computer answers disguised as real people. As you progress in level the opponents get exponentially more difficult. Half of the time they get every single answer right making it impossible to win coins. The idea is you’ll eventually run out of coins and have to spend real money.

Most of the modes are the same, there’s a fast money mode which is stacked against you even more and a tournament mode as well. You can play against live players that come across the bottom of the screen on the main menu, but again you have to spend coins and matchmaking is often slow and mistimed with a pitiful attempt at notifications.

Sometimes the game will give you credit for a vague answer. Sometimes you’ll hit it dead on and be wrong. There’s really no rhyme or reason to when that happens and can be frustrating in a close game. Overall FamilyFeud is poorly developed, bears repeated questions regularly and is nothing more than a cash grab for the company that made it. Don’t waste your time with this one, there’s much better free content on the Apple Store.

The way they accept your answers makes no sense at all. For one question I typed Appliances and it didn’t count the answer for any points... it actually takes away a few points that you do have for getting it wrong. Yet one of the correct answers was OLD APPLIANCES!! How does that even make sense that my original answer did not count?
This is one of many many instances in which this happens.
Another example could include a game where the question said, if you can rid the world of one thing what would it be. I typed in hunger and that answer was considered wrong and once again points were taken away. Yet one of the correct answers ended up being starvation!!!

I say agitated and it’s a wrong answer yet the correct answer was get angry!! Like what? It makes no sense as to what is considered correct. Agitated, irritated, angry...same thing.

Name something not prohibited doing on a bus...a say food —wrong!... correct answer is eating. Food is eating... it’s the same thing how does that not count?! Also, I say drinking... not correct, alcohol was the correct answer.

Another example, what is something people would beg for? I say relationship as well as love. Nope, didn’t count! Yet friendship counted.
I find this game extremely frustrating when you are giving correct answers and yet never getting credit.
They really need to update what can be considered correct answers. You literally say the same thing yet do not get credit. Worse yet, you lose points!

If you have the correct answer or number one answer don’t plan it counting, especially if you’re competing against someone else. In regular rounds you earn less points for guessing the same answer if the other person gets it right, and during fast money if you guess the same answer as your opponent you can’t use it even though you can’t see your opponents answers, so it doesn’t matter if you have it or not, you can’t play making it almost impossible to win if you take your time to think about the question before answering. Also, even if you are quick about answering it doesn’t matter because during fast money the questions are asked in a different order than you and your opponent so even if you start typing immediately if your opponent answered the question as the first question and you got that question as your first question you don’t even get a chance. Completely unfair and a waste of coins when wagering. I don’t even bother doing more than the minimum anymore. Not worth it and nothing like the actual game.

This game has those dumb tickets that you have to wait a certain amount of time for them to refill. I probably wouldn’t mind it as much if it let you have more than five at a time and you didn’t have to wait an hour for it to refill ONE ticket. To play a round of any type in the game you have to spend one ticket and have the right amount of coins to “wager”. In my opinion I think as long as you have the right amount of coins you should be able to play and not even bother with the tickets. The only way to get more tickets is to pay $5 for the VIP pass, which is another thing. Sometimes when you click the button to play a round it pops up a thing trying to get you to buy the VIP package and you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can say no. Another thing with this game is that even when you type the correct answer, if it’s not the exact words or something really really close, then you get it wrong. For example, when I was playing a round one time the category was “things a doctor might ask you to do” and for my answer I typed “take off clothing” and it said I was wrong. Then at the end of the round the number one answer was “undress”. It’s a fun game but it needs work and rethinking.

1. The fast money mode is poorly worked. I find it ridiculous that the game assumes you and your opponent are working on a team and you guys CANT answer the same answer twice. This makes absolutely ZERO sense in a head to head mode since if you think of the top answer and your opponent guessed it first in the timer, you will waste time thinking of another answer. And by the time you think of that, the opponent has a chance of guessing the top answer for the next question, which makes this a lose-lose cycle based on literal milliseconds on how fast you answered the first question. Absolutely ridiculous.

2. There is no merit behind the ticket system. Your currency in the game is coins. Why is there another currency in the form of tickets that have to be used to play games. Stop being a sellout and let people casually play the game. It takes WAY TOO LONG to regenerate one ticket (2 hours!!) while one game lasts merely minutes. The random invite matchmaking does not work at all from my experience, so tickets are the only way you can actually find matches. Once again, absolutely ridiculous for a casual game.

Let’s set things straight here: the game isn’t terrible. What ticks me off is that you can only play UP TO 5 games before you run out of tickets. Unless you pony up for VIP (which is a joke IMO), you MUST wait two hours for a single ticket to replenish. Not only does that increase your waiting time by 2x to start playing again after your previous relatively short session (if you just want to get a couple rounds in), it means fewer players will be actively playing at any one time, leading to matchmaking taking longer than usual. The ticket system is a joke at this point, in an attempt to get more people to pay $5/month just to get an additional ticket per two hours, with a max ticket cap of 10. I will uninstall (and encourage others to do so) because of how annoying it is to want to play another round, only to find out I ran out of tickets and either have to pay $5 a month to get one more ticket per replenish and a max of 10 at any time, or pay $5 every time you want to get your five tickets back. An absolute money grab and a subtle way to get users to cough up $5 each month or $5 every time they don’t want to wait 10 hours to get a full five tickets. Clever game development, but it won’t work on me.

Too many duplicate answers. It only gives you 5 tickets at a time, and they take an hour each to regenerate. Sometimes ill say a vague answer and it tells me it’s wrong when they wanted a more specific answer, or vice versa, I think the game should say “be more specific” just like on the show, or recognize when answers are similar enough. It always defaults to 1,500 coins per game even when I choose 50 each turn, and sometimes I’m not paying attention and I don’t wanna lose that many coins especially when we hardly get any tickets. Also sometimes the questions aren’t specific enough. And finally, it gives you 50 seconds to guess every answer to a question, but the question doesn’t appear until 2 seconds after the clock starts, and that 2 seconds is valuable time. You also have to type at least 2 letters before it gives you suggestions, but it should be after only one letter because I spend a lot of time typing answers it doesn’t suggest. I also think it would be more fun if each person took a turn guessing an answer rather than having each of you guess all, it’s not fair that the other person gets points for an answer you guessed first. The answer should appear on the game board when one person guesses it.

Ok this game is a great game overall the questions are fun and a little bit challenging which is great you pay some coins you pay a ticket and your in! So far so good then you play the game. so after you play the game you either lose or get the coins so you play some more times and then when you go to play again and it’s red you realize uh-oh I’m out of tickets which would be ok if you only had to wait a minute or even five minutes for the tickets to refill but no you have to wait like a whole hour!😨that is like an endless amount of time when you just want to play also why is there a limit of tickets then you would get one every hour you wait and if you come back like a day later then you should have more than just five. Also about the glitches so the Valentine’s Day version and I had the worst time ever because first I accidentally taped the play button that was the wager of 4,050 and then as soon as it picked my opponent it took me back to the home screen and I went back into FamilyFeud and I found myself with 4,050 less coins and one less ticket this made me both frustrated 😡😠😖and upset😭😭😢🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺. That is why I rated it ⭐️⭐️stars.

This is the second time I’ve downloaded, and now have deleted FamilyFeud. It’s pretty bad. The biggest issue I have is the keyboard is harder to type on than the normal phone keyboard so I constantly have to correct spelling and waste time. The other major issue is ill type in an answer that is on the board but won’t get the points because it’s not a letter for letter match. IE; “name something that make you tear up.” I type movies and I get a strike, the top answer: watch a movie 🤨. This has happened so many times it makes it not worth playing. The last one I played I literally got ALL STRIKES but every answer I put was on the board! “Name something a bad kisser does” I put Too wet, answer: Wet kisses. I put too messy, answer “sloppy kisses”. I mean come on. This is not an issue with the actual show, sometimes to the point where they flip answers that are really pushing it whether it’s the same thing. They really need to fix the programming that synonyms for certain words are recognized.

FamilyFeud is complete garbage. The ticket system is garbage. The keyboard to type out answers is garbage why can’t we use our own phone keyboard. Some of the answers will literally be what I type and it still says I got it wrong for example, I recently did a game where it asked something about “the golden years” and I said OLD and it said I was wrong, so of course this threw me off as I was expecting it to be right. Well once the timer ended, the number one answer was OLD PEOPLE. Like wth! It caused me to lose thousands of coins. Oh and don’t get me started on the “vip” system. Every time I get a free spin it takes a good 2-3 minutes to wait for that “claim your vip subscription now” page to go away and then the extra spin you can buy for like 3 dollars also takes forever. I get it they’re trying to make money but jeez make it where we can skip if we want. Also I’m pretty sure a majority of my opponents are bots, some of them will spend the whole first 40 seconds of a round not guessing anything and then randomly just somehow guess like 2-3 answers correctly within 10 seconds. Anyways that’s my review. It’s fun for a few days but then gets old fast and very annoying.

I love Family Feud, and I watch it on T.V all the time. So when I download the game, I was exited. Upon playing, I realized that you have to pay “tickets” for a round, and the game only gives you 5 tickets. To get more tickets, you have to wait for the timer, or pay money, which is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Some of the questions are good, some don’t make sense, and some of the answers are kinda repetitive and not what you would think. Some of the questions repeat themselves too, and if you play for a long time you’ll end up getting the exact same question, which is unfair to the other people you’re playing against who haven’t seen that question yet. The Fast Money Tournaments are fun to play, and I love playing classic all the time. I would definitely rate 4/5 stars if they would fix the ticket issue. The coin system is alright, but fix the ticket issue and the repetitiveness. Also the keyboard is horrible. I go to type and I’m consistently wasting time backspacing because it’s so different then iOS keyboard. Why doesn’t the game allow you to use your own keyboard, or at lease dictation? Huge opportunity for improvements. Hope to see better updates in the future.

At the risk of parroting what so many others have said:
While I love the game & love the genuine version vs. so many other “game show apps” which tend to be cheap knock-offs, & love all of the options! It is also cool that you can do one-on-one challenges without paying tickets. However, it does take an awful long time for tickets to replenish! Which is why I do not play as often as I would like! By the time I get “into” “game mode,” the tickets are empty!! Maybe it could be made to only take tickets away if/when you lose?? Or there could be multiple ways to retrieve more tickets?!?
I do also like the ability to gift someone coins to play another round!! I honestly believe if you guys make tickets more readily available, it would benefit the players and therefore benefit the developers!! People are way more likely to put time &/or money into an app that puts thought and consideration into their features and truly care about the customers happiness..
(With the exception of the ultra difficult ones who find reasons to be mad about something) ...

The game is okay but there are somethings missing. The timer starts immediately, The game opens and the other player is already putting answers when I haven’t been given time to read the question. I wish the question was read to me just as it would in the game show or I had an extra 5 seconds to read the question before the timer starts. The game also counts a lot of answers wrong that should have been counted or been asked to be more specific..I answered a question with “money” and it was buzzed as incorrect. The correct word was “cash”, I don’t understand how that didn’t count if they mean the same thing. I also wish the fast money round was added to the game. The coin system is great and understandable, if you run out of money then you can’t afford to play. The ticket part doesn’t make since because even if you have coins, you can’t play without tickets and you only get 4-5 to start. I don’t want to have to wait for free tickets to play or have to pay. It would be cool if the ability to play was only based on the amount of coins you had left.

FamilyFeud should try and mirror the actual game show as much as possible.
You shouldn’t have to type out the exact word to get credit. For example, if Im asked “how would you feel if you won the lottery?” and I answer “joy” it will be wrong if the correct answer is “happy”. But they are exactly the same thing and if I was on the tv game show I would get credit for either answer.
If you type in the word THE, you’ll get some of correct responses, which is absurd.
Eventually and if you play long enough you’ll recall correct answers because of duplicate games. I’ve played this version for only a few days and I’ve already seen duplicates. Eventually the players who have played the most games will beat you, not because they’re better than you but because they memorized the correct responses. This version is more of a memory game.
Eventually I’ll probably delete this game. I play word games to have fun, not to become frustrated snd annoyed

It seems like no one from the development team has looked to check for bugs in the game recently because there is a lot of them. I also wish that I could play more, but they only give you 5 times to play and they refill once every two hours. If the game gave me more of a chance to become addicted to it while also looking sleek and beautiful, I would probably be more willing to pay for a VIP membership or make purchases at all towards the game.

For a reference, if the development team is actually looking at reviews, I would suggest taking a look at the UNO iOS app. They are really good at updating their stuff, the game looks fantastic, and they even give you rewards for taking a survey (helping them know how to improve their game). I feel I’ve wasted a lot of money playing UNO because of this lol.

I would really like to see more in the future from Family Fued’s iOS app because I do enjoy playing it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed playing family feud and the first couple days was great. Unfortunately tickets take forever to regenerate and there is no way to get more tickets besides waiting and purchasing. Coins are almost always given and can be earned in different ways I.e. watching advertisement videos. Another issue I have with the game is that recently I have been having tons of glitches. FamilyFeud will crash after it takes my ticket and coins and then there is no way to get it back or continue the game. It has now happened to me a total of 6 times in the course of 2 hours of play time. It seems to only occur with tournaments, however it is extremely frustrating. I have tried emailing support to get help with this with no response. The game is a lot of fun, so I think if this can be fixed and ticket regeneration had different avenues such as videos, or winning live matches it would improve the game so much.

The main problem I have with this game is that there’s just too much. I hate the system with the tickets. Honestly, I think the tickets should just be taken out of the game, and you don’t ever have to wait. Also, why is the normal game and the fast money round two different categories. Why isn’t it like the normal show where you play the normal game and if you win, you play the fast money round. I realize if you only have one person with you, you can’t have two rounds for the fast money, but just make it so that if you get over 100 points in one round you win. Also, I don’t like how FamilyFeud is set up as a one person game. I think there should be a different game mode where the timer resets after each answer so you can pass the phone to multiple people. This way it is more like the real game. My final complaint is that, as far as I can see, there is no way of playing someone you know. I haven’t logged in with Facebook, and that might fix the problem, but as far as I see there is no way to play against your friends.

Please fix these problems because if you do, I will like the game a lot better, and change my review to have more stars.

I never play games. However, I’ve always loved watching Family Feud so I decided to download the mobile version. I easily got addicted. To the point that after I ran out of tickets I would play on my boyfriends phone. But, when I was playing on my boyfriends acct I ended up vs. myself??? Which is impossible considering I was literally playing on my boyfriends account. It was a computer and not a real person and I lost. Thats funny. I don’t think all the matches are computer generated, but I’m beginning to wonder how many are.. The last couple of games I’ve played I would lose at the last second. All of a sudden they get number one within the last second? The last three games I’ve played? Moreover, I’ve entered in an answer and got it right. Then, see my opponent put the exact same answer and get it wrong. Acts like a bot, must be a bot. No fun when they are in control of how much you win.

The game is good but there are some bugs that need to be fixed. I watch multiple ads in a row and don’t get the coins for them. Also sometimes when I’m playing a match with friends, I’ll get an answer correct and it’ll keep flipping and showing me that one answer until I force stop the game. Or we’ll get a question and the answers don’t match. For example, we had gotten a question we’d had before so we knew the answers already but when we tried them they didn’t work. When the answers were revealed they related to the question in no way because they were answers to a different question. Another problem I’ve been having is how particular the game is with answers. An answer to a question (ex: what do people do in the event of an economic recession?) could be “stop spending” but since I said “save money” it’s considered wrong and there have been so many more instances. One thing that I do think would add to the game and make it great is adding a fast money round after the three regular rounds when you play.

FamilyFeud is fun but there is no consistency to it. I’ve seen opponents guess answers wrong that I got correct. Example: “describe something as shallow”: I guessed a person and a pool, those were correct. When my opponent guessed them, they came up as wrong and were deducted points. What? It’s also really bad on specifics. If you guess something very close who freaking knows if it will logically give it to you. When in guessed cuttlery, it said it was wrong, “knives” was the answer…but when I guessed “cars” it said “Please be more specific”…limo was the answer. THEN I’ve guessed things that weren’t even in the realm of the answer that it gave to me. I could guess “Mercedes” and it GAVE me “Crane Operator”…it’s a bit chaotic.
After I wrote this less than positive review it took 20k coins from me. Cute.

Three major complaints.

1. The questions repeat often. If you’re playing against someone who has been playing longer they have a huge advantage. I’ve only been playing for a few days (level 4) and I see the same questions constantly. It gives me a huge unfair advantage to get a perfect score on a level because I already know the answers.

2. You need tickets to play and it takes forever to get tickets. You get a new ticket every HOUR. (Much longer compared to other games I play.) There is nothing to speed this up unless you buy a MONTHLY membership. No ads you can watch or things you can do. So I basically just play once a day.

There is the option to invite people on a list to play but it’s rare that they respond to the request and you don’t really win anything when you play against them. Each round costs 12 coins to play and you may only win 10 coins that round. And if you match with someone who has been playing much longer than you, then you’re wasting your coins because they will get perfect scores on all the repeat questions.

3. It randomly does or does not recognize your answer. I wrote “moon bounce” when they were looking for “bounce house” and was rejected. I wrote “clothes” when they wanted “suit” and it was accepted. There are times what I write isn’t even close to the answer they’ll use it for. Other times they reject answers that mean the exact thing on the list.

THEY ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS! I have personally never seen any 2 family feud episodes with the same questions (and i have pretty much seen all of them). So there should be no way I have seen the same questions and i only had FamilyFeud for a week. Another thing most of the questions are so stupid. Like name a weapon on the game clue. Fist of all how tf can you assume everybody has played clue to even ask such a specific question. Nevertheless, I still tried with answers like gun & knife. They said no to knife and at the end of course knife was one of the answers. That type of stuff is so annoying, basically giving away coins. You also need the fingers of a mouse to type on the keyboard. Lastly on fast money you should be able to answer a question with the same answer as your opponent. We are not on the same team like on the real feud so those rules should not apply. I feel like the people who made this didn’t even base it off of the real family feud and have never seen the show in their lives. The End

you know what this crap really just gets on my nerves I have a bunch of problems I can't even count number one this game is not accessible have you ever thought about blind people wanting to play such as me ha ha of course not a problem to actually there is only one problem but you could've been one of them actually thinks about other people like this this this is this this right here this is what I hate none of the developers actually think about blind people except for the ones that make audio games so until further notice I'm going to delete FamilyFeud and other blind people after I encourage you not to download FamilyFeud unless you can see a little bit because this is not helpful to blind people FamilyFeud is not accessible I cannot stand when people do this these developers don't think about The whole community and I wish I didn't have to give it any stars because if I didn't have to give it zero stars

The tickets take way to long to regenerate so you can’t sit down and just play. Giving answers is difficult at best, the keyboard is difficult to use as it presses a letter 3x and then won’t register another. It offers suggested answers but this doesn’t help if you can’t type part of the word in correctly which is made harder with the fact the backspace button is separated from the keyboard. Additionally if there is a loss in service and you’re in a game, you lose the money and tickets and this happens a lot. The free spin is nice and helps get money built back up. You can also pay a monthly subscription to be apart of the VIP group. Overall, I played for about a week and though I love the game it has too many frustrations to keep playing. Additionally I’d love to play fast money after regular rounds but that isn’t an option and instead has to be played separately. Maybe if they get some bugs worked out it’d be better but for now it’s not that fun.

This game drives me nuts because you have to be very specific in your answers with very little forgiveness. For instance, I wrote “cook breakfast” for an answer and got an X, then “eat breakfast” was on the board! Another example was my opponent put “fall asleep” and got an X (because it shows you while you’re playing) and “sleep” was the answer on the board. You only have a very limited time to type in an answer and the keyboard is sensitive so I find myself having to backspace a lot which also cuts down on the window for answering. It’s also frustrating that you lose 5 points for a wrong answer. Again, the window of time is small for each round, thus you have to type quickly and try lots of random answers. The word choice for each category varies as well, especially in regards to x-rated answers (i.e. “knocking boots”, “sexy time”, and “family jewels”), thus it would be nice if a broad answer were consistently accepted for these questions.

I really love family feud so I was excited to see there was a game for it. But I was quickly disappointed. After playing one game, all of my games from then on out would crash and when I would log back onto the game my money that I had spent play would be gone. So the game was taking my coins and I wasn’t even getting to play. On top of that there are a lot of repeat questions, which makes the game sort of unfair. After playing it for a while you’ll know the answers to every question so when you were playing against players that are higher level, they will always win because they are used to those questions. I also don’t like the tickets. You never get more than three and they run out so quickly and take so long to refill. I think it would be much better if you only lost a ticket if you lost the game, that way you can play longer than five minutes. Over all too buggy and to repetitive to enjoy

I have been enjoying this game, especially the special events. But the last two events have had a glitch in them and they crash every single time I try to play. At the perfect time too: after I have used coins for a new round and before I get to even see a question. Very frustrating!
I don’t like that this game wants me to connect with Facebook. Why do all games push that now? I also wish the format was closer to the actual game show instead of having to choose between a question round and fast money. Only being able to play 5 games at most and then waiting for 5 hours for the tickets to refresh is annoying. I’m not going to spend money on more games. Other than that, I do like the game. I will continue to play because it’s the best option, just think it needs some improvements.

This game is very fun and addicting. But there are a couple things that need improvement:
It is really slow, I'll submit an answer and it will not tell me if it's right or wrong for sometimes 10 seconds. The clock still runs and it is a big issue when there is a time constraint. Also it takes a very long time to switch rounds. Another thing would be the placement of the backspace button. It is not where one would be on a typical keyboard and I think that it would be helpful if it was. Last but least concerning improvement is I often get repeated questions

I've been watching Family Feud with Steve Harvey for many years. Lately I've noticed his suits are absolutely ridiculous looking. I was under the impression Steve took pride in his appearance. Whoever is picking out his suits is making him look like a clown.

Maybe it’s not really a big deal or anything, but I really wish you guys can cut these cheaters off, ain’t no way in hell these people be getting these questions right, with the most stupidest answers ever! I’m really starting to HATE this game! I rate this game a 0.05/10!

I just went from euphoria to broke down playing this game, I know this game cheats like hell, because as you rank up the questions become more redundant, the answers are from oblivion hell, just to make you feel bad and stupid at the end, also you got to wait two hours for one lame ticket 🎟 to a game that could freeze at any moment or cheat as onsad and you lose 120,000 coins plus! Sad to say and I hate talking like this, but this game is BEYOND gay and stupid!!!

This is the most stupidest game ever, it’s addicting, it asks questions that make no sense, and then your opponent gets the question right (you know they’re cheating), for those same questions that make no possible sense just to make you feel dumb! The ticket 🎟 generation is slow as hell and when you do get a ticket, the game glitches as you’re winning! I can take losing, but I know there’s cheating on this game

If I'm a VIP player why am I only generating 5 tickets. At first it was 14. So how many are you suppose to get by being VIP?

St patricks feud took atleast 800 points from me. Everytime I try to play it gets all the way to picking the opponent then cuts back off WHILE it takes my points. Once today and three times yesterday morning. Please fix this issue.
