Phrase Frenzy - Catch It! turns your iPhone or iPad into a high-stakes 'hot potato' for your next party. Similar to games like Taboo or Catch Phrase, the goal is to get your team to guess a word or phrase as quickly as possible so you can pass the device to the next player. With more than 7,000 phrases and 10 diverse categories, the game uses 'no-repeat' technology to keep content fresh. Customize your experience with 20 different buzzer sounds and high-resolution graphics, making it the perfect icebreaker for any social event.

82/100

Phrase Frenzy - Catch It! is the definitive digital companion for any social gathering or game night. It successfully captures the high-energy 'Hot Potato' stress of classic party games like Catch Phrase and Taboo. The app's strength lies in its massive library—over 7,000 phrases across 10 categories—which ensures you won't see the same prompts twice in a single session. The interface is intentionally simple, allowing players to focus on the frantic yelling and gesturing rather than fumbling with buttons.

What makes it truly hilarious are the customizable buzzer sounds. There’s something uniquely funny about a round ending with the sound of a screaming person or a bleating sheep instead of a standard beep. The inclusion of a manual score editor is a thoughtful touch for those 'heated' family debates over whether a clue was legal or not. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it is a stable, well-designed, and highly portable version of a beloved party format that works perfectly on both iPhone and iPad.

Really fun

I like how you can choose specific categories, but I wish there was a way to turn on/off several categories at one time instead of having to just choose one category

Simple but functional design

We played this app after our Thanksgiving dinner, and the game kept up with my zany & clever family just fine. Easy to use, no apparent bugs, good variety of word clues.

Always a hit!

Great time killer with friends at the bar or in a cab. Lots of words. Not a bad word to say. Worth the purchase.

Doesn’t display full phrase
Sat Dec 08 2018 Steffan18

I open the game on my iPad and tried to play the game only to find out the whole phrase doesn’t display. Kind of hard to play the game when the words are cut off. I emailed support a week ago and have not heard back since. Very unsatisfied.
