Very little thought put into it

My main problem with this app is that there’s no accounting for a variety of phrasing… sometimes. There are times where I input “cursing” and it shows that “swearing” was the answer, but other times it thinks curses and swears are two different things. In the fast money round I put “pee” and the other person put “bathroom” and it didn’t account for the fact those are the same thing. Sometimes the answers it does accept are completely wild, like it accepting my answer of “Yoga mat” for “carpet,” when I felt like I really shouldn’t have been credited for that. It feels like the people who set this up did not account for a consistent variety of ways to say the same thing. It makes me want to be non-specific, but sometimes the answers are very specific. The fact there’s a ticketing system in place is strange too but I think I would prefer that over being shown a bajillion ads. I’d be willing to pay for the app if more work was put into making it more understanding of what you’re trying to say. I do think it’s a shame there’s no local mode to play with friends. I think it would be a lot of fun to have localized family feud tournaments. Oh well.

I guess it’s ok

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 the app 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.

Two hours to replenish ONE ticket? Really?

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.

Needs Serious Improvement

The game is fun to play and it would be much more fun if actual people were polled for the answers. A lot of times the answers on the board aren't the most common sense answers that most people would agree on. For example one question was name a place in your home that you never clean and Bedroom was the first. I know some people don't clean their rooms but it would never be the number one answer. The second improvement could be the cost to play. If you lose too often, you end up not having enough coins to play which just makes you want to delete the app, especially with the answers not making sense half the time. Lastly, there isn't enough time to offer answers. It's different in person to speak answers in less than 20 seconds but it's much more difficult to type them on that same timeframe. I love the game and would play much more if you simply surveyed 100 random people for each question so it's more congruent with the actual show, let us either use tickets or coins to play regular casual games (and maybe offer opportunities where we can play a full 3 round game solo or against others), and give us a little more time to type answers. If the game is updated, I will update this rating.

The bad far outweighs the good

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.

Terrible - Pay To Cheat Business Model

1. App crashes causing you to lose games and points. 2. Correct answers don’t always match ie: (Lottery vs Lotto vs Lottery Ticket) 3. What really is frustrating is that you can guess every single answer on the board in “Classic Game Mode” and the other player can cheat by giving up tokens or something. 4. You will be forced to buy tickets and tokens to feed your addiction to this game. I am confident that it is setup to lure people in and once they are hooked to force them to pay high ongoing costs. Cheating is allowed for paying customers. 5. The Family Feud franchise has already took my money for an app years ago. It was better app since you just paid up front for it and you didn’t have to pay ongoing fees. But they didn’t keep it updated so it’s no longer available. So when you buy any app you are only going to be able to use it for a short time as Apple and/or the developers will not keep it for newer ios updates. 6. Beyond you paying for coins and/or tickets there is still non-stop ads. 7. Go outside and play a sport or board game with someone. At least the winner will be based on skill and not cheating. Greed is destroying apps on the App Store.

Garbage app

The app 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.

Fun game, but needs a new direction...

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.

Play Family Feud any way you'd like! With 6 game modes to choose from, there's something there for everyone!
