Evil Apples: Funny as ____ Reviews

by Raantuva

I submitted a complaint about a player several weeks ago. This person was dropping racial slurs and all manner of other horrible things. It negatively affected the game and everyone ended up leaving. I’ve had this happen multiple times during my time playing. I actually use a photo of my cat for my picture because I imagine it would be worse if people actually could see what I look like. This most recent instance, I’d finally had enough and reported it. I waited an extended period of time for a reply from the customer service inbox and when I finally DID get a response? I was told some abuse was fine rather than asking for clarification. Basically the same reply you get on Facebook when anything horrible is reported. I take umbrage to being called racial slurs and seeing others being called them. I usually mute people who are just mildly annoying but telling me to mute someone over that? No. Deleting this. I go huge periods of time without playing because this keeps happening so at this point I’m ready to ditch this game. Way to give a hoot about your players. You jerks wouldn’t even have any revenue without us. Hope you’re happy. I, for one, will not be coming back after this.

The game is cool and all, BUT it does crash/freeze. Sometimes you will be “snoozed” if you take to long but you won’t know until your screen becomes unfrozen and decides it’s time to tell you. Lags a lot even when connected to WiFi. Disappointed with the issue of the crashing/freeze it really effects the game and all players. Sometimes you can be mid game and if you put out your card it will still run your time down and basically act like you did not put the card out (this is the freezing) then you get snoozed and are completely clueless as to how it even happened when you were actively participating. The decks are way to pricey and the default deck definitely get tiring seeing the same things over and over with the same questions or phrases as well. Overall I give it a 2 and 1/2 because it’s fun, just when the freezing happens it makes it frustrating. Don’t like how when you connect to Facebook it still doesn’t show your profile picture. You have to have a live picture in order for it to show as your profile photo. Should definitely allow people to choose from their Facebook albums or have different options as far as a profile picture goes. News flash: We link our Facebook profile for a reason 🙄

The game itself works great. No glitches that I’ve encountered in the 2+ months I’ve been playing it. If you pay the funds to get all decks forever, there is a huge variety of choices for countless hours of laughs! Everything about the game works as intended or better...except, the users. The games are 5 player games. There are plenty of people playing so getting a game started is very quick. Games on average last about 10 minutes. However in ALL the games I’ve played, I can’t think of one time it went from beginning to completion with all 5 players active. Every game 1-3 people will either “snooze” and stop playing cards, or disconnect entirely. There is no penalties for this so it’s rampant. Each round gets 60 seconds and the judging phase also 60 seconds. When people are snoozing, it will go through the ENTIRE 60 seconds, and that time adds up quick. They need to do something to dissuade people from that. If they could get that under control, it would be a 5 star game. I would play the basic version for a few days to see what I mean before deciding to spend any real cash.

So I love this game. It’s fun to play every now and then, but the amount of cheaters on here is tremendous. There’s is no measure used to prevent in game boosting. Multiple times, I’ve been in games with people who are together, but both in the same online game. So what they can do is pick each other’s answers and one of them will almost always win the match because they always have at least one point a round. This is being highly exploited and I’m disappointed because when this does occur, I lose my in game currency and there’s no way I can get it back or leave. I’m guessing not everyone is quick or smart enough to catch it but it’s usually fairly obvious if you know what to look for. Basically if two people always pick each other’s answers, there’s a good chance it’s happening and to confirm your doubts, both people in the lobby usually have identical, if not near similar joining times since they started playing evil apples. I would like something to be put into place so that I can either get my in game currency back when this does occur, or somehow ban people next to each other from playing in the same lobby. I’d guess about 20% of players use this method to boost wins and coins, and it’s highly unfair to players who just want to jump in a quick game and play. I would really like an update doing something about this. Thank you for your time and keep on updating the game, I love it for the most part

I love this game, I really do. Mechanics are awesome, gameplay is smooth and fun, and it kills time. However, and idk if this is just me, but I feel like most players lack a sense of humor. I have played hilarious cards and lost due to people playing cards that were irrelevant or just plain stupid. I get the point of the game and I understand how humor works, but on here it’s like the more stupid and pointless the card is, the more likely it is to win, regardless if it works with the judge’s card. I have literally downloaded and deleted this about ten times, and each time I think it’ll be different I am proved wrong the first round and re-delete it. It’s a funny game with funny cards, but when you have a judge whose card is something like “I have a dirty secret habit of ___” then picks something like “a squirt gun” instead of something like “raunchy sex with a blowup doll” it kinda makes you question things. idk. People on here just aren’t funny. Not sorry.

The game is fun and I play it a lot. That being said, however, it could use some help with the actual flow and use of EvilApples . It’s frustrating that I can’t find where to turn decks on and off; every now and again I’ll stumble upon it accidentally, but I’m never able to find it when I’m looking for it. It seems that it could be part of the game settings pretty easily.

Also it would be nice to have a “Nudge” option along with the “Snooze” option. Sometimes I don’t want to snooze them, I just want to remind them everyone is waiting. Or maybe EvilApples could automatically send a notification that says “Hurry! You’re the last one to play a card this round!”

In addition, it would be nice if when you wake yourself up after being snoozed you would be able to participate in that round. As long as the cards haven’t been made available to the judge, that is.

When I downloaded this like many others I expected this to be a pretty cheap cards against humanity rip off but it actually has a lot more love put into it than I suspected the different modes, the ability to buy more packs(with in game currency), and actually getting money relatively easy all makes this game not that bad. Now every time you play a game you use an energy or in this case a cake but even this systems not too bad because each time you win you gain three, you get one a day, and if you play with friends it’s free. However it is a little annoying trying to connect with friends if they’re not on your contacts list or if you don’t have Facebook, but to be fair I think I’m the only one that will truly have a problem with this. Overall I would recommend it

The games are always super fun and the options for the answers always make me laugh. Great game to play with friends. But I’ve had several experiences with inappropriate users. One person had a nude pic for their profile picture. And there is a chat option when you are can talk to the other players you are playing with and some people abuse that and use extremely offensive language or say inappropriate things. There is an option to mute the players so you don’t ever see that but I definitely think that the filtering process should be much stricter and a better way to deal with inappropriate users. I would not recommend EvilApples to people with sensitive feelings, there are a some jerks and pervs who play this game. But if that doesn’t bother you, then you’re all good, this game is super fun and would’ve gotten five stars if it hadn’t been for some of the other users.

My husband and I both downloaded EvilApples and both did the purchase of “buy all decks forever”. But he currently has 132 decks and I have 130. So where are my 2 missing decks? Why did I not receive them when EvilApples owners received my payment for a service that promised me “all new and existing decks forever”??? We really love this game and the gameplay (although we both wish there weren’t so many young kids trying to play like adults in this game cuz it just isn’t appropriate for children to be playing this game at all) but I cannot give EvilApples 5 stars when I know I haven’t received the full service I paid for. $10 of “buy all decks” times 2 and $5 times 2 for no ads. I would say $30 is a decent amount for 2 people to pay for an app. So please give me ALL of what I paid for. I want my 2 missing decks please. Then I will change my review to 5 stars.

The people who run EvilApples are AMAZING. I’ve had EvilApples for…3+ years? I stopped playing for a while and when I tried to log back in, I couldn’t get my account back. 11+ thousand coins, a bunch of cakes, all my decks. All that lost. I emailed them to see if they could help and not only did they respond relatively quickly, they managed to find my old account that was connected to my old phone number, they added my new current number so I could access my account. That took maybe two days? Freaking amazing. I was so happy, I mean the care they took to make sure I’d get my account back. That’s the kind of customer service that makes you stay.

EvilApples itself is great, I keep coming back bc it’s honestly a great game to play with friends, especially when your friends live far away or you’re trying your best to social distance. I’ve been recommending this game since the first time I started using EvilApples, but now I have even more reasons to recommend EvilApples. Definitely worth your time.

A little naughty, A little raunchy, A whole lot of Fun! I was laughing so hard at my own answers I was actually snorting! I like the idea that we all get to take turns being the judge. The fact that you have no idea who played what card truly makes judging fair and keeps it honest.

On my first hand I was playing against seasoned players and I won! The game can get competitive and you want to feel that rush when your answer/card wins!

Great party game for adults! Throw in some food, wine or spirits and you’ve got a guaranteed conversation starter with EvilApples. It’s funny, the answers are hilarious, gross, weird, or raunchy as hell. Think of Spencer’s adult novelty store in card form, with the cards being written by Howard Stern, Dean Koontz, and The Kinseys.

This has become one of my favorite apps. I wish there was a way to earn coins & cake faster, but it's pretty easy & you can purchase more decks with them quickly. If I had the money, I'd purchase coins! I don't mind the ads at all and think they're very reasonable - my only complaint is the ad for the Wish app. It takes a few seconds for the X to pop up and you always accidentally click it so it takes you to EvilApples Store. I think Wish sells some really weird stuff so maybe I just have a grudge, but really, it's the only intrusive ad. The other ads are reasonably timed & placed.

All of the cards in EvilApples are really funny and I really like the themes. It's so fun to play with many people and Bizarro is a really fun mode too! 5 stars for sure 😄

I’ve never been more impressed with the lengths at which Evil Apples’ customer service support team has gone to pursue a consumer(myself) with rectification of a historical account loss and to seek— with great humility, restoration of previous purchases made.

No statute of limitations on the purchase date.. Superior follow through and an unprecedented “above and beyond” approach to meeting and brilliantly exceeding the players’ experience.

I had zero expectations when reaching out to the team about my Facebook account that has been long lost and almost no hope of resurrection— but I was willing to give it a shot.

My request yielded a response that almost felt robotic and included a laundry list of details I did not recollect— nor would I be able to gather.. so I simply did not respond to the email.

The following day I received a follow up email to check on me and my progress. I simply stated with brevity that i was at a loss, the effort would not be worth the trouble, that I appreciated their effort and I already opened a new account.

While the matter is still in early the communication phase I deemed it inappropriate to not share this remarkable surprise. Cheers, Evil Apples!

I downloaded this game early 2018 and played it excessively! The chat rooms allowed me to get to know players from around the world! Also, my experiences with the players have been 90% positive thanks to the games ability to report any foul or hateful language or photos as well as the creators haste and attention when it comes to such reports.

I have many times deleted the game so that I can have space on my device for more important apps, or to just take a break from games for awhile, and I always come back to it within a few months. Every time I re-download the game, all of my progress, cakes, coins, friends and profile is saved and ready for me to continue like I never left.

If you want a way to play a few quick rounds here and there, it’s perfect! If you want to battle your friends to a month long, rule specific game, it’s perfect! If you want something in between, ITS PERFECT! I know because I have played in every form and it is a delight every time!

Thank you to the people who brought this beautiful game to the world. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

It's an awesome party game for when you just wanna laugh and have a couple of close or even close-ish friends over. Great way to solidify the friendships you have too.
The only complaint I have about this game (and this being my only complaint is kinda crazy) is that you can't just look at the cards you buy. Yeah, you get a preview of some of what the deck offers, but I would really like a way to just click on the deck in the store after purchasing it and take a look at what it has to offer besides the 5-7 that are given as a "demo" of sorts.
Besides that one little hiccup that I see the game is absolutely flawless. I prefer this to the more... solid and physically existent counterpart that can be found in comic shops and the odd store simply because of the constant updates of new cards and decks.

by Stupidestgmr15

This game, in my opinion, is amazing. Players can go at it with random people or friends (if you have any), and if you don’t have any friends you can make some in the game. Also even if you’re the one losing, you can still have a good laugh thanks to the all of the funny, sarcastic, insane, and outright amazing cards and card packs. And speaking of packs, yes you do have to buy them, but it doesn’t have to be with real money! The winning card always gets 5 coins and the you can get more by just being funny and winning the game. So even though you can cheat your way to the top by buying all the funny decks and power ups and stuff, you can also earn that stuff fair and square in game. So, because of the super nice gameplay, amazing cards and having the availability to earn stuff instead of just buying it makes this game, in my opinion, ONE OF THE GREATS!

I love this game. Ended up getting my whole family to play it. I purchased all the power-ups and all the decks and so far have not been disappointed. This game definitely makes it easy to pass hours and hours in a day.

Some ideas: More updates to the stock cards and stock questions would be nice. Not sure how often everything is updated, but we’ve seen so many of the same cards that you can almost guess which answer will be picked.

The ability to delete / remove the played games. It’s sort of annoying when playing with friends to have to try and figure out which game is the “live” game due to everyone trying to start their own game and invite everyone. The ability to clear played games and maybe highlight active games would be nice. (We end up with 4 or 5 games, which in turn means 4 or 5 different invites and everyone is having to guess which game is the one we are all going to play in).

Game invites: they are kinda hard to find, especially if it’s a new player that just downloaded the game for the first time. Having game invites display in a very easy to see location would be nice (maybe even stay on screen in the corner or something if you’re already playing a game so you won’t forget).

Other than the above ideas, I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone.

I LOVE this game. Having said that, I would like to receive some credit for my wild cards that show up as playing cards after I create them. I've had it happen to me several times where I won't have a card worth playing so I'll make something up and it'll win. Low and behold, it'll start showing up in my decks and other people's decks and they will use my wild card in game play later. I do keep receiving random cake and money for no discernible reason, that it true. But nothing explicitly tells me it's because my card was game play worthy and it'll be used in the game now. I don't want anything other than the cake and coins and a "We are gonna add your card to the public deck now" notification and then put a little tag for the player on the card. Other wise, this is the most fun you can have by yourself other masturbating "on a sunny Sunday afternoon."

Out of all the pseudo Cards Against Humanity apps, Evil Apples is by far the best. And unlike most other apps available on EvilApples Store the Microtransactions are barely even noticeable. Having played Evil Apples for a couple of years now I can say without a doubt that I haven’t once felt like I need to spend money to keep up with the players who do. And since you get a free piece of Cake(which is what they call their premium currency) every 4 hours and if you so choose you can get an additional Cake by watching an ad as many times as you want as well as the 3 pieces you get from each game you win you can get enough Cake to buy additional decks pretty quickly. The only thing about Evil Apples that I don’t like is how you can’t add random players to games with friends. If the devs would make it to where you can add a couple of randos to your games with friends then I’d have given the full 5 stars. Other than that it’s a great game.

Great execution. I think the pay mechanics are very well thought out and balanced - and I wanted to compliment you guys on it because it’s something we don’t see a lot these days.

For example: newbies who don’t pay-to-play have a chance, and they also totally have a way to level up along the way. That said, I did buy a mega pass today, but it was mostly to remove ads (I understand why you have them) and get the extras.

Two ideas:

The first is very important: make reconnecting make more sense. I have a few ideas on that front.

The second is maybe look into achievements/badges - just for fun. I ironically thought of this today when I lost a game with zero points and though “I would be one of those weirdos who would display a badge for this. Haha”

On reconnecting:
- Instead of just having “quit to lobby” maybe say “return to lobby”?
- And maybe add a note there about “if you got disconnected from this game, please go back to the lobby to find and re-enter the room for this game”
- It would be great if current/active games were displayed above almost everything else.
- Add a tip #69 (or whatever) about how to reconnect to a game.

I think most users (including me) don’t/didn’t know that they can rejoin - or how to do it. But I figured it out.

I’ve also found that going back to the lobby and then back into the room helps when I wonder if I’m stalled. Shrug

Keep at it! 🙂👍
