5 STARS BUT SMALL EUCHRE GRIPE
I’m giving this 5 stars because so much of it is better than most other card games I’ve played. The only one I’m having a problem with is Euchre. The first thing [and I have to say it’s only my opinion] is the rule where when the bid goes around twice the dealer has to name trump. This reduces the game to one of pure luck and a skillfully played game can be won or lost based solely on luck.I would love to see this changed to being able to pass and throw the deal in. Other than that the game strategically plays better than any I’ve downloaded, and I havent missed any! I’m so finding it very confusing following the dealing and bidding because it goes soooo fast. I find myself having to study the board before playing just to see who dealt, what trump is and who named it. Also the names identifying the players are placed closer to the opponent than the actual player. I can live with these things because everything else about this is app is the best but I’m hoping these things will be taken into consideration, especially if there ore others agreeing with me. I’ve gotten hooked on gin rummy and again I love how it plays. I only wish I could arrange my cards as I’m playing. It’s difficult to know what to draw or discard when the cards in my hand are so mixed up.Show lessBJP44
Changed my review due to awful app support
I change my review from four stars to one. I’m deleting this app from my phone. Poor app support.. I just played 2 games of spades 12 hands each game six zeros each game because my partner does not know how to bid. I started under bidding to compensate, and it was still over bid we would still lose if I hadn’t got to Nil hands in each game. We’d still be playing that’s not very fun. Space should be able to be individual not forced to play on a team. I tried to reach out to tech support, but it says my email address is invalid, which is a lie. I don’t care what the reason is that’s poor Tech Support. Tech Support isn’t trying to fix the problems or fix any problems. If they were, they would accept any legitimate email address. This Apple Pay deleted shortly..Show lessDanger Mann
Nice looking but scoring is sometimes wrong
Updated review to 4 stars as the scoring issues have been fixed. I would still like to see slightly bigger cards in future updates.
This is a nice, clean-looking game without all the dumb effects of other games. It’s nice to have 5 different card games to play. I play gin rummy the most, and I have seen the scores and melds done incorrectly. A card that should be in a meld isn’t included in the meld, and sometimes gin is called when the opponent has a card left. Also, the cards are rather small in size and the wrong card is sometimes chosen to be discarded. This could be a 5-star game with some simple fixes.Show lessDoobyBros123
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. Version 1.12.0 addresses some of your issues. Please download the update and let us know at https://www.cardgamesbybicycle.com/ if you have any further trouble. Kind Regards, The Bicycle TeamKeeps showing error
The idea is good but it keeps disconnecting for no reason and keeps showing error all of the sudden. Many bugs that need to be fixed but developers are not doing anything about it. This has been an issue for many many weeks
Also, they should subtract points when people disconnecting as punishment
But the idea behind the app is nice. Just wish it was working. Very frustrating if you finally get a group together and then it shows an error message for no reasonShow lessmaaaaandyyyyy
Oops! Something went wrong!
My friends and I have seen the “Oops! Something went wrong!” king riding a bicycle screen so many times! It is completely frustrating! It happens at random times-- logging in, inviting friends, middle of the game, choosing a game to play-- there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason for the error.s Sometimes completely closing the game helps, but often times, we’ll see this screen 7+ times before it finally let’s us in. Are the servers for the game overloaded? Can it have more resources allocated to it? When we are able to play, the games are really fun!Show lesskoeppelam
Mostly good, but issues
The bot play is fine other than the fact that, as others have pointed out, the Spades’ points are not correctly counted. My biggest issue is the public play which is limited to Spades and Hearts. There are only 4 rounds, which is not that big of a deal - but not realistic with typical card playing. The biggest issue is that any player can leave at any time. The issue there being that there is an overall, cumulative point total for every player which is only affected by wins & losses. So someone can start playing and if the game goes south for them, they can leave the game without penalty. One would think that is another team leaves, they forfeit. But no. They just get to leave. They do not lose points and you do not gain points. It’s ridiculous. This App should amended by forfeiting the game if you leave - whether it’s due to connection issues or embarrassment. It ruins the game to allow no consequences for running away like a baby because you are losing a free online game.Show lesssavanba
Highly Addicting!!!
Love this app my husband and I are able to play against each other no matter where we are. Still confused on how to earn diamonds? Online play is a little hard right now. Either connection or other things will kick you out of the game.Paige Knudsen
Too Frustrating to Use!
I have used the app for 36 hrs. and have had it freeze over and over again, have had to delete and replace it 7x at least. The interface and games: hearts, spades, gin rummy, solitaire are good-looking and are fun but it freezes so often, it is just not worth the trouble at all! It’s such a shame that Bicycle has such a terrible app because we card players expect more from the brand.Show lesscitizen_rowe
Needs work
Great app with excellent user interface and classic card games which can be played either against a bot or in a public lobby. The problem is that the platform crashes regularly, day and night, for no apparent reason. The system either goes straight to a failure page (“Oops! Something has gone wrong.”), or else it freezes in mid-game and locks everything until players have to abandon the game. The “Oops! Page” advises to contact support, but there is no link anywhere in the game to do so.
In addition, the system kicks you out of a game if you fail to play within 14 seconds, and you cannot regain your game status, whether in either a bot games or a real game.
Most annoying is that the system allows players to abandon a game at any time without penalty. The minute someone realizes they are losing, they bail out of the game and leave all of the other players in the lurch. Can’t there be a penalty assigned to a player when this happens, e.g. a 10 point reduction in their overall ranking score? On average, I can complete only about 2 games out of 10 because of this problem.
Come on, Bicycle! I’ve owned every software and app package you have ever put on the market, and this one leaves a lot to be desired. A little help, please?!?Show lessLadylonghorn444
Great App
You really get what you ask for. The layout is nice, the automation makes for easy to play games, and even the game how-tos are put in an easily understandable way. If I could change anything, I would love to be able to play versus bots in offline mode but really the app is perfect as is.Semi-aquatic mammal
