Hangman ⓇⓈⓈ App Reviews

Te hace pensar

Great game for your mind. Excellent challenge for current events!

This is one of the better hangmans Ive seen on the App Store! I really like Captionable, too. It adds a nice twist.

Im enjoying Hangman,its a little different then the hangman Im used to playing, but its got a little more bite to the game. Nice change.

There are some topics that are a bit too sensitive for such a game as Hangman. I recently came across a current news topic of Sandra Bland. A young woman who died recently by hanging. Imagine the image when one loses this particular level and is left with a brown stick figure hanging with the word dead in all caps. Imagine if her family plays this game. That just too far. Im sure keeping the game up-to-date with current events was truly the only motive and maybe even auto-sourced, but that level of insensitivity is absolutely negligent on the creators behalf. Please consider the content used for this type of game.

More thinking involved with this app. I love the current events and take anything with the New York Times with suspicion. Their articles are one sided and therefore inaccurate. Addictive and interesting. Some letters may be chosen that show up in other languages. If you notice the patterns it can be easier.

When they said easy they meant hard

Great game to keep your mind thinking of whats been in the news plus the fun of guessing what letter makes the most sense.

A lot of fun to play.

This app has slipped some. It now is not filtering out ads with links that are impossible to avoid opening when using the app on an iPod Touch!! It also does not filter out Really Old news! I just saw an early 2014 on an "outbreak" of Enola in Guinea! It could also feed headlines from the BBC News, as well as FOX, Google and Yahoo!! Another issue is that, in the current version I am using, the app does not let the timer in the iPod shut off the display after a few minutes like other apps do!!

A smart game that is lots of fun.

Good exercise for your brain!

This games rewards you if you are aware of whats happening around the world. Its captivating and addictive! Enjoy.

Challenging and fun. Plus I get glimpses of breaking news headlines.

Great way to keep up with current events

I enjoyed playing this game. Clues are given to help solve the puzzle headline from the news by playing hangman. Always something new each week!

Im not crazy about the clues, but overall, the game is a good way to pass the time.

A fun way to learn news tidbits while stretching my brain.

I love this game. Keeps my Mind active

This is a fun, creative twist on Hangman, as youre guessing words that are blanked out from news headlines. You get the headline, missing two words, and a tiny bit of context from the article at the bottom of the screen. Play is smooth and the interface easy to navigate. (No comment on the sound, since I play with my phone silenced.) So why three stars? Two reasons: one, the context clues at the bottom of the screen often consist of two lines of redacted words, with only a couple useless words like "at" and "with" showing. That makes the context completely useless. The bigger problem, though, is that the game sometimes makes a proper name one of the blank headline words to guess. Since the stories come from all over the world, sometimes theres no way to know that name even if youre well-informed. It would be nice if the developers put in a dictionary so that, if a word isnt in an English dictionary, it isnt made into a blank. That would solve the proper name issue in most cases Still, the game is fun and I play it now and then until a proper name ends my streak.
