Pictionary PRO

Pictionary Pro takes the classic drawing game and optimizes it for the mobile screen. The drawing tools are surprisingly responsive, which is usually the make-or-break point for games like this. Even on a smaller phone screen, the brush smoothing makes my 'terrible' drawings look somewhat recognizable. It’s a great way to stay connected with friends through quick, asynchronous rounds of sketching and guessing.

The 'Pro' aspect comes through in the competitive ranking and the variety of categories available. It avoids the common pitfall of having too many repeating words, keeping the experience fresh. While the ads can be a bit frequent in the free version, the social interaction and the hilarity of misinterpreting a friend's 'masterpiece' make it worth the download.
