Barely playable – Family Feud® 2 Review

My wife had me download this app so we could play together. I downloaded it and challenged her to a game. Immediately after closing the app (play is asynchronous), I started to get bombarded with messages that “A friend has faced your challenge and played their turn. Come see the final results!” I can see my wife sitting next to me and she doesn’t even have her phone in her hand. I have challenged her exactly once, yet I currently have 14 alerts from the game. That is bad enough, and for a great game I could ignore it (disable notifications) and move on. Unfortunately this game is mediocre at best. I have played various versions of Family Feud games since I was a kid in the early 90’s, and other than online functions, nothing has changed. If your answer doesn’t pop up after typing in 2 letters, your answer will be wrong. Not only that, but it is very particular about what is a right answer. Multiple times I have typed in an answer and gotten an X when what I was trying to input was on the board. Add in a short timer, and it just leads to more frustration. If my wife didn’t want to play it with me, I wouldn’t play it at all. By the way, since starting to write this review I have received more alerts. I am now up to 18. This is more annoyance than game.
