Mad Libs Reviews

by Zdegrey

The content of the books are great and well worth the cost. However, MadLibs itself is not. They always use dark font on dark background. I’m not a graphic designer at all but even I know to never use blue font on dark blue background. Their string concatenations are done with a new line instead of inline. MadLibs crashes all the time. And my favorite is that every time you open MadLibs , it opens up the Game Center page. Even Apple removed it as a forward facing feature and instead moved it to a background feature. Game Center should not be the splash screen every time you open MadLibs . Literally no other app does this and for a good reason. It’s annoying and pointless. It is apparent MadLibs has been abandoned by the developers/company as the last update was 3 years ago.

These mad libs aren’t fun. Mad libs are supposed to be fun. The free ones are taken from informational passages. That’s not promoting your product well (in my opinion, at least). If those had made me interested or laugh, I’d be inclined to buy one of the other books. They are, instead, pretty much the opposite of what I want, and the disappointing quality makes me think that all of them will be like this. That’s not something I’m interested in by any means, and so I won’t be wasting my money on these.

Question for the developers: why is this like this? Back when I was a kid (which wasn’t very long ago), doing Mad Libs was a fun way to pass time. You’d compete with your friends to see who could come up with the craziest story. This has none of that. You can’t have a crazy story without fun scenarios.

I love writing mad libs. This used to be one of my favorite apps. Now though it looks terrible when you finish a story. Not sure if it is because I upgraded to an iPhone 10 or what, but the story format is gone. Now it abruptly line breaks to put your input on a line of its own with no white box behind it and a colored font similar to the background. Even small inputs like “cat” require a full line and if the colors are too similar it becomes unreadable. The final straw is there is no app support I can find online so if this is a bug I can’t report it. Very disappointed and will not spend any more money on this broken app.

Formatting needs to be updated... I used to love using MadLibs with my kids and students but now the formatting seems to be out of date. The formatting seems to create issues whenever you are done enter things into the options and try to read it after your choices. With a little formatting update, I jump my rating up to five stars again. These are super fun even with the format problem.

We absolutely adore MadLibs we have several books. We have played as a family for YEAR and have so much fun especially when we are on long trips or are trying to get the kids to last through a meal out. However, for the past several months we can’t even open it. It simply crashes even before it loads. PLEASE update it to fix the bugs. I would give it five stars but for the crashes and will change my review when it’s fixed.

I used to play this with my kids. I opened it for the first time since getting an iPhone 12 and decided to purchase a pack of stories. Unfortunately I didn’t think to try the old stories out before doing so. The story itself is lacking all styles and instead you get the default times new Roman font in black. It is hard to read and ruins the experience. I see no way to request my money back for the new stories.

This game isn’t the best, in all honesty. I mean, it was fun at first. I wouldn’t play this in my free time. I might only play it if I’m stuck in a line at Comic Con and need something to kill time. I completed all my first stories with no problem, so I bought another book. That was a scam. It didn’t even show up in my library, and lured and beckoned me into buying it again, even though I’d already made the purchase. You should be well grateful I even gave you a star, let alone TWO. Scammers, indeed.

Response to response:
Oh, fine. I’ll let it slide for now. Good day to you.

I gave it a 3 star because you only get a little book of stories and then you have to bye the rest and I want to have lots of stories without buying them and I finished them all so MadLibs is no use and I do not have an I tunes card so I can’t bye any more and MadLibs just takes up space so I why am I keeping MadLibs is because I can read my stories but if you want us to bye any at least give us 101 stories so MadLibs does not get deleted so give us more than just 21 stories to have before having to bye any

I was doing the “Comeback Kid” story and the story focuses on a football player. The football player’s pronouns were automatically set to he/him/his. It didn’t even ask in the fill in the blanks section to choose the pronouns of the football player. Which is odd, because it asked for the name. The name I chose was a girl name, so shouldn’t it ask for the pronouns too? Football and other sports aren’t gendered. They’re for everyone. I’m disappointed.

On an iPad, you can’t restore purchases because it asks you to solve a math problem (to prove you’re an adult, I guess?) but the math problem is stuck off the edge of the screen and can’t be moved into view. This needs to be fixed. Unfortunately the link from MadLibs Store to the developer site and app support just lead to the Mad Libs website which has no support info and no way to contact or file a report. This would be an easy fix if anyone was paying attention.

My family and i love MadLibs and even spent money on buying the digital books. We thought it would be good for the environment to not recycle so much paper. But the format on the books is almost unreadable now. It displays each word that you enter as pale grey type on a separate line from the rest of the story. Reading it is difficult and the choppy flow makes it less funny in the end. There hasn’t been an update in almost a year. We are so sad! And a little annoyed that we spent money on MadLibs .

I love MadLibs so much I would give it 4 stars. What I liked about MadLibs is Mad Libs is so entertaining, fun and educational. I though MadLibs was entertaining and fun because it is a creative way to make your one stories. in MadLibs it tells you to give a noun, adverbs, adjectives, ect. MadLibs is very educational because it teaches you many examples of grammar rules. For example if it asks you a noun you have to give a noun like Pen. From there MadLibs takes the different word you typed in for the rules and it combines them into a story. What I disliked about this story is after your finished with the free story's you have to pay for the other ones. I dis liked this because you should not have to pay for more stories That is what I liked and disliked about MadLibs.

The question is are you trying to find my location and kill me? Sorry it’s just that the more story’s I play the more it asks personal questions like you last name or your name or where you live so I am a bit nervous also these story’s are not that funny but sometimes they are so that’s why I only put 4 stars

We've been using MadLibs for years and we love it, but a format change in the last year makes reading stories very difficult. The old form was SO much better. Now, we often experience the very small don't and similar background color to the font color makes it nearly impossible to read in some books.

This change was not for the better.

i love mad libs. when i got MadLibs , i was more than exited to do the mad libs. to my disappointment, there was only 1 free pack, and the rest needed payment.

my final thoughts: love MadLibs SO much... but it could use some more free packs. if you wanted a mad lib, you could just go to the bookstore, and get one. it takes a little less effort.

in case you think this is hate, read the first 2 words in the title.

by Windy576

Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️:
Amazing game, I really love this game. It’s so funny and if you want a good laugh, I recommend this game for you. This game is awesome👏! It starts off as you just typing some words in but later, it becomes a story that you can laugh at with your friends! The story’s save, which I really like because later you can share it with a friend of you found it funny!
Conclusion ✨🌟💫⚡️☀️:
Great game to play with your friends!😄Awesome game, definitely recommend!

Mad Libs is a really fun app that I would give 5 stars. It is a super fun app that I would recommend this to people young and old. If I were to change one thing about MadLibs I would change one thing about MadLibs I would change it so you you could also get the definition of Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives. I would compare MadLibs to Language arts frenzy with a better review because it is way more fun and you get the full version for free. Therefore I think that Mad Libs is a 5 star app

Hey, so I had this game on my iPad for a while, so when I got my phone, I just had to download it.
The mad libs app is so funny. I love to make crazy mad libs on the airplane! It’s just like the books, except without wasting paper.

Your game is very well programmed. I love it when the mad libs character says, “good job!” That is just so cute.

This game is perfect for those who like to write stories. You can let your creativity shine and laugh with friends. Mad libs is a great way to bring people together.
It’s also very educational. I had no idea what a verb meant when I was 6, and then I got this game. The game taught me about verbs, nouns, etc. Now I can recite each one!

I have tried to program before, and I know that it’s not easy. Developers, you should be very proud. You have made an amazing game!

The stay home and mad libs pack was super fun. Thank you for making it free!

Also, I have an idea. Instead of making us pay for stories, maybe every week there could be a new free story. Then more people would play this game.

I love this game and I totally recommend it. Great job!
Ps. PEOPLE STOP BEING MEAN! They are trying their hardest so you reviewers back off and yell at someone else.

This is a great way to let your kid learn it teaches them so many things when your stuck at home!

Like they ask you give me a noun and if your kid says something that isn’t a noun it will say ‘good job but you got it wrong try a little harder!’ Or if they got it right they might say “good job keep it up!”

And stop being mean comments they try there best to give people internment when u can’t go to school people so go away and shout at another game you “don’t like” so either right something nice and give them at least 4+ stars if your gonna write a comment and say something nice people.

I just purchased this two days ago to play with my daughter. We played 3 times and it froze/crashed twice during that time. Today we started doing a new madlib and it crashed part way through and we had to start over. We got through filling in the blanks the second time, but it crashed again before we could read it! It shows that we finished, but won’t let us read the story without closing MadLibs . I want my $4.99 back. Not worth the trouble 😞

by Colinsapplepod

Not sure what’s wrong with MadLibs . I have a newer phone with a large amount of free storage and I rarely get to a low battery power. It’s fun but not very enjoyable when u nearly get to the end of typing your words and MadLibs either freezes or completely crashes, both which lose all previous words entered. Not to mention you have to pay for the majority of the stories...

by Jessipooh

I wish I could give this 5 stars, however, my previous purchases don’t download and restore. That means all my old stories are gone.
MadLibs is great otherwise. I used to play them on trips with my sisters. I could not wait for book fair, mad Libs books galore, weekly book orders too.
App inventor, please fix so we can get our previous purchases.

by Edwarbre

I love MadLibs! It is made so you can play by yourself without reading the story till afterwards. It also gives suggestions (ex: adj could be pretty) It is really fun. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because it only has a few “books” available for free, the rest you have to buy. But I would recommend MadLibs!

by Serenoty

I believe every thing is amazing except maybe in the future when beginners start the game you can start them off with maybe two or three books for free instead of one so once they know that they like it so much and want more then they are sure to buy more

by Doge_man

Ok the reason I downloaded MadLibs was because it was on my school iPad. I wanted to see how much the other book thing were.$ 1.99. But after 3 stories this beeping started. And on my school iPad it did the same. Then I started lagging. Plz fix and I have a lot of penguins books!!

by Yatzin

MadLibs is top notch. Whoever is behind the programming did a great job.

Some of the stories aren't great. I regret buying the "haunted stories" dlc as it is really bad and every one is like this: "in the movie such and such..." And proceeds to explain a movie. This is not haunted stories. I wish I could get a refund for this pack.

by TiaLiaMeowMeow

I love this game! It's always a riot at slumber parties and whatnot. But what would make this game REALLY worthy of five stars would be an option to create your own story! The user writes their own story with blanks and selects what kind of word needs to go in the spaces. I would love if you added this!!

by Sisibelle1234

You’re doing really well with Mad Libs the only problem is when you finish a book you have to pay for more and I cant get the other Mad Libs games I cant remember why though.
But please make the other Mad Libs books free 🙂
