Picolo drinking game

Really fun! Their randomization for names and teams could be better (weighing results based on past usage), but honestly, you can decide as a group if you want to replace one name/team with another. The only thing I wish they had was an option to go back to the previous card. Being drunk, occasionally you accidentally tap twice!

Given that my Google Play has my credit card credentials when I download it this game it never mentioned anything about a subscription until I got a bill for a weekly subscription and I was signed up for the premium. There needs to be a lot more clearly if you're just going to take money out of people bank accounts. I also only downloaded this app and never even used it so it's very inconvenient.

A nightmare to cancel the subscription. Wanted to see whether it was worth the money, its a funny game but gets real repetitive, so wanted to opt out of carrying on the subscription. Its not going well after multiple emails explaining the email they somehow got their hands on isn't an active email, they are still refusing to help or stop taking money. Its a joke.

The idea is nice, challenges are nice but the app needs work in important areas. I can't subscribe or unsubscribe. I click subscribe and nothing happens. At the beginning it asked me to subscribe I entered my card details, but I don't have acces to all the games, and I don't see any option to verify if I'm subscribed or how to unsubscribe. So...yeah.

If you put two people's name side by side they never end up in the same question together. The game seems to target one particular player. The chosen players need to be more randomised. Updates with new rules would give the game more longevity. The rounds can be quite short and the same rules often pop up, it can make it pretty dull after a few rounds.

The app is entertaining to play at a party like once every couple of months. I paid once for the subscription and forgot I kept on paying. Now looking at my bank statement I realized I've paying around 80 euro on an app I used once.... I agree with a one-time fee of 5 euro or a subscription of something per year, but 5 euro per week when I doubt anyone uses it weekly is a predatory business model...

EDIT: changed phone, and I lost my original paid price to get access. OLD REVIEW:I know it doesn't sound fair to most new users, but since I paid full price before and that since the new monetization update I wasn't "forced" to subscribe and keep my full app is greatly appreciated. I'd love a feature to be able to add custom prompts. Getting ambitious, why not offering the ability to make your prompts public, and having people vote on the best ones to be added in a custom mode? Thanks devs

The game is fun but: 1. Needs some way to go back to cards that were skipped accidentally 2. Get rid of the social media questions. They get skipped every time. 3. "Bar mode" is not that fun. No one can hear each other and they lose interest quickly 4. Absolutely not worth a weekly subscription. For anyone that isn't sure how to cancel the subscription (it's not obvious), you don't do it in the app but instead need to go to your Google Play settings > Subscriptions and cancel from there.

Went to sign up for the free 7 day free trail. No confirmation email with cancellation information, no link in the app. Sent them an email, waiting for this to be resolved. It's a shame it's a great app, I would happily pay a one off fee to buy it, but not the $7 ish dollars a week. Am not at all happy with the lack of being able to "cancel" think it's a bit Skeemish and not right. .... Just after posting this I stumbled up "manage subscriptions" Above which let me cancel it. Still overpriced

Used to play this a couple of years ago with friends before going out, and most of the times it was great fun. Since then I deleted it and forgot about it, but a couple of days ago I wanted to play it again with some friends, to my surprise they had changed its payment system and now it looks really shady, this whole subscribe idea is either a very moronic move on their side or just a scam, considering the price they want to charge now I would say its probably just a desperate attempt at a scam.

App is great when it works; however, the most recent update changes extra game modes from a 1-time purchase to be subscription based. Pricing level seems high with this update. Nov 4 update: All game modes are now available again, as I had previously purchased the full version. Game itself is great, but the annual fee is definitely high. Changed rating from 1 to 4 stars, would be 5 if annual fee was substantially lower

I paid £2.49 for one of the other modes back before it introduced subscriptions, I think it was the one above the free one. Since they added subscriptions it got rid of my purchase, so I now not only have to buy that version again, but pay an extortionate amount EVERY WEEK to use it. Its absolutely ridiculous to charge that much for a game. The free version is good for a while but gets repetitive, for £3 odd a WEEK(!) it is nowhere near worth it

This is a fun game to play with a group but they charge subscription without permission and there is no option to cancel subscription. I want my funds back! I've sent an email to Picolo and still waiting for assistance. If anyone has managed to cancel their subscription, please comment and let me know how to do it. Picolo does not show up on my active subscriptions list and yet i get charged on my card.

Lack of updates and meaningful settings really bring down this apps possible score. Some additional options that let you control the length of the game and the amount of penalties given out would be amazing! General improvements to the randomness of the prompts/people wouldn't go a miss either. It also seems that the prompts have gotten more tame, even on caliente.

Add a way to get back to previous card. It often happens that your screen dims due to inactivity, and when you touch the screen to light it up again, it skips to next card. Please add a way to get back to previous one. Ex. Left half of the screen takes back, right half of the screen forward. Or leftmost 25%, or a swipe. So many potential and easy-to-implement solutions to this problem.

The game itself? Fun with a good group. The subscription option is nothing but a scam, hoping you'll forget about it or wont notice for a couple weeks for them to make a quick $. I quickly bought the premium version years ago with no regrets. I guess it wasnt making enough but the price now is just despicable.

Ruined the game. The free version used to be great, I was going to pay through there but I decided to update before. The update details said it just fixed bugs, but it did not at all say it was going to add PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE options. It's obnoxious that you changed from a $9 purchase of an app to a $50 annual recurring charge without informing before updating. This was a great game, and you're charging more than an elite credit card or than frankly any electronic purchase anyone makes
