    This is totally my new favorite game of all time. From now on when I think of fun, I think of this game. It's so addicting and playful and just great. The controls are as simple as they come, but non the less perfect. I love this game. One day I'll be aiming for a legit highscore.

    How can people hate this game? It changed so much on the appstore and became so popular so fast and made it into so many things like shows, videos, movies, jokes. It was literally everywhere, and people still hated it. I know that this game is frustrating, I know that it isn't always the most fun to play continuously but it sure was addicting.

It was fun to challenge friends for a bit and it's no wonder why this game gained popularity so fast. The developer deserved the money that he got from this and even though he managed to lose the app, he still managed to get enough out of it. I was impressed with what they were able to do, even if the textures were stolen, there was basically only like three and the fun in the game came from the gameplay, not the art. This game overall was worth playing and even though it wasn't the best, everyone still knows what it is and it spread around like crazy when it was out there.… Expand

    This game is great, although it has since been removed from the App Store and I would love to see a new copy remade, with maybe a few new features like a new map ?!?!?!

    Nice anger management game ... sometimes it's quite annoying because it's hard to make a good high score , this making some people mad , determinating them to destroy their gadgets ...
    If you could manage your anger - it's a nice game

    This game is one of the best games that I have ever played with simple controls and clean graphics, this is the game for any situation. Due to this game being accessible on basically any device It means that you can play it any time you want and with how addicting it is you will be trying to improve your score with every attempt.

    Flappy bird is one of the best Iphone/Android i have ever played but sadly the great must be taken to the wall... Flappy bird got shot of the app store but was the game good? well this game is the best rage game i have ever played and the levels are not really that good. its just a bunch of mario pipes and you have to fly thru them and thats what you do in the game. Flappy bird gets a 8/10

    This game can be really addicting and annoying, yet it is a really fun game. When I first started playing it I got annoyed easily. But as time when on and I kept playing I improved. If you are looking for a fun app or a time consuming app, Flappy Bird is the app to do it.

    Rather simple, yet increasingly addictive. The intensity amongst peers trying to outscore each other only adds to the addiction, and that relief you get when you finally beat that high score you've set days ago is like no other I've ever felt from a game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game's simplicity thrives on adrenalin. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, a rip of mario about a bird that can't fly for sh*$%t. However it is Human Nature to be Competitive, and this game represents the epitome of competitiveness. It is exhilarating, fun and annoying.… Expand

    I cant play this game personally, but i know it can be very addictive. 1 good feature about this game is that it makes all of its money from ads, and not Micro-transactions

    A average mobile game. Will make a long for a better highscore but other than that, no reason to play. Fun for a little while, angering for more. But I am sad to see it removed from the 'Google Play Store'.

    This game has a really crazy balance between being a good game and a bad game. Sometimes it really sucks when your just doing terrible and your only getting scores at about 1-5. But other times it can actually be kind of fun, when your beating your high score or your just on a really nice roll. So it really varies depending on how you play or just how your doing at the moment.

    In my opinion, 6 means a so-so game. Which is exactly what this game is. It has a side that makes you want to play it all the time, and it has that side that makes you want to throw your device at a wall and throw it in a fire pit. It has many glitches, for example when it tells me I hit something when I didn't, and it quite occasionally lags. Overall, an okay game.

    This is a good mobile game. An ok game, but a good mobile game. It is addictive and simple to pick up and play. The idea is simple, but the iOS port is a surprisingly difficult game. Once in a while the game will lag, or it'll glitch and say I hit something when I didn't, but most of the time... it's my lack of skill that makes me fail.

    It's a good, addictive format but I still prefer Keepy Uppy World Cuppy on my iPhone - better game and good to have the football theme with Brazil 2014 about to kick off!

    I'm surprised that this game even got reviewed on here by professionals. The gameplay is intriguing yet infuriating. Enough to let me play this game for a couple months and put it down once I get a high score yet I still find myself playing it at few occasions.

    The game was not bad but Dong Nguyen had made it too impossible for players to like but at least he had made more things like the lesbian sex scene or when they lay an egg

    It's impossible to grant this game a higher score no matter how addicting it is. Points granted for being an unexpectedly effective time consumer, and no points awarded for being practically redefining simplistic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Flappy Bird, personally I think this game is overrated. However, I am being a hypocritical because I have only played it twice. It is a simple game, like Super Mario Bros. all you do is fly in between obstacle by flapping your wings. To flap your wings once you simply tap the button. The game ends when you collide with an obstacle. The score is then determined by how many obstacles you have managed to fly around. I give this game a 5/10, and remember, always explain what you think of a game in detail when you review them.… Expand

    You will only love it if you achieve repeatedly at least 100 points every time you play it but nonetheless, it isn't superb on graphics, actions, and styles. And the worst yet, it doesn't have originality, mostly it copies all the graphics from other Mario games. Overall, a mediocre.

    not necessarily a revolutionary game, but i think its fun and challenging enough to have fun with it on many occasions. wether its sitting around competing with friends, or something to do in a waiting room.

Flappy Bird is also an extremely unfair and challenging game. There are tons of YouTube videos about this, and several inappropriate comments have been sent to the creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen. So, he took Flappy Bird off the App Store and Google Play Store. I am actually reviewing Flappy Bird: Remake, so there are advertisement pop-ups whenever you replay. There's not much else to say about Flappy Bird. It's not a good game, but it's just average. It's also very unfair and challenging, and the advert pop-ups are an annoyance. But, it's addictive and a nice way to pass 5 minutes.… Expand

    This game is very addictive, despite that the sprites were ripped straight from Super Mario Bros. This is currently my 77th least favourite game for the iOS and I do not recommend it.

    Behold; the most mediocre game I've ever played! Even for an iOS game, it's ridiculously simplistic. It's the epitome of a time-waster game, as you can play it when you have nothing else to do and have fun, but it's worth no more than that.

    Less functionality of the game is a boring and repetitive aspect of a certain game. And the result, is that Flappy Bird can be forgotten after a user has completed his single milestone within the game, and that is "achieving a very score". As time progresses, there is nothing to do much with this game but to score high by evading numerous pipe obstacles.

    Its designs appeared to have been taken almost directly out of previously existing titles and, ultimately, Flappy Bird was a shallow, flash-in-the-pan smartphone anomaly that we’re not going to miss.

    Flappy Bird is very hard to rate. Is it a solid, hardcore experience? Or is it a simple tech demo made in a bunch of minutes? Well, both of these sentences are true.

    Flappy Bird isn't a good video game. It's arguably not even a fun one. But its no-frills approach and exacting, relentlessly repetitious gameplay make it an addictive short-term distraction for the skill and score-obsessed.
