Disappointed but understanding

I paid for the ad removal a while ago and have enjoyed playing this with my wife for many years. I opened the app today only to find out it’s now $4.99/week and apparently my previous payment meant nothing. Hope this can be resolved!Update: the developer contacted me and helped find a temporary solution. Still don’t like the subscription model (especially $4.99/week, that’s steep) for this type of app but can understand that’s where most services are going now days. My wife and I play quite often and have enjoyed the app for years!.
Developer Response
Thank you for updating your review and for your patience — it really means a lot. We know the switch to subscriptions wasn't easy for everyone, especially loyal players like you who supported the app early on. We're glad we could help, and we hope you and your wife keep enjoying your game nights with Off Limits! If there's ever anything else we can do for you, reach out at mail@redapemobile.com. 🎉
Recommend, need more “variety”

I pull this game out a lot, we don’t do teams and score it’s just fun to pass around and take turns guessing. I even paid the $1.99 or whatever to get the ad free version. I’ve had a lot of people ask me what it is so they can download themselves. My ONLY complaint it’s the list of words doesn’t update (or updates rarely?) so if you play it too much you get super familiar with them and it loses some of the challenge.There are a ton of different apps that are a version of Taboo/Tabu, but my roommate says she can’t find one she likes as much as this one!

Thank you — this genuinely made our day! 🙌 If word familiarity is creeping in, it might be time to explore some of the other decks — the full game has 4,000+ words across 30+ categories, so there's a lot of fresh territory to cover. So glad you and your roommate love it, and thanks for spreading the word! Any categories you'd love to see added? Tell us at mail@redapemobile.com!
Simply Fun

My kids love this game. The layout is very simple which I love. I love the large print as well. For some reason it always says red team unless I hit end and choose the category again. Would like to have the option to choose own team name. This is a good one.
New this update:
- SharePlay support: play Off Limits! together over FaceTime, no same-room required
- Performance improvements for smoother game nights
Best with 4+ players. Worst when your teammate says the forbidden word.
