    Yahoo Graffiti for iPhone? Sounds great. As soon as I have read a good review, I'm in!

    Just bought it and its an awesome game. I def. suggest this!

    I like it!

    Very clever how you draw full-screen, but the guessers see the drawing scaled down to fit above the keyboard.

    I agree with the App Store reviewer who said people need to click the Cheat Whistle when people start adding letters to the drawing. I didn't have the heart when playing with just 1 or 2 people, but as it gets popular, I'll be blowing the whistle to improve the experience!

    Hey, this is a great game! It's fast and fun. I hope they quickly add improvements like private rooms and maybe higher res drawing.

    FINALLY. The iPhone was screaming for this game. I hope it's available for Android as well.

    I love this game, but late last night it was as if people gave up drawing and started writing out the clue then drawing genitalia.

    Apparently the sensible people I was playing that morning had handed their iPhones over to their 3 year old children.

    It's a great game but it would really benefit from a centralized login system that could block users who get the whistle blown on them too many times.

    People who get the whistle blown by 50% of people in that round get booted. Just for one round, but if they get booted every time then the incentive to mess up the game using letters is reduced.
