  • Favors computer’s cards

    Tried to play this on my own and it’s a joke what cards the computer receives. I’ve only played 3 games now and will get rid of this game. The computer consistently either has -5 cards in its deck or will constantly draw them. My cards also seem to be consistently higher. Makes perfect sense though because you’ll spend coins to play the tournament and rarely win. Then you’ll spend actual money for more coins once you run out. Are they not earning enough revenue for the constant ads? I guess not. No thanks.
  • App always glitches out

    We love the real life version of this game, the app, not so much. EVERY TIME I join a game with my family, the only thing we see is a blank green screen with the deck and everything is frozen. I have never been able to get in an actual game. I’ve deleted the app and re-downloaded it multiple times.

    What is going on? Plus you have to PAY to buy tickets to play with your friends and family once you run out. Utterly ridiculous that you have to pay for a broken experience.

    We love this game and hope that the app developers improve this app. 100% not worth downloading right now :(
  • It constantly freezes

    We LOVE the card version of this game, so we were very excited about the app. But I have NEVER been able to finish a single game because it freezes around hole 6 or hole 7. It’s very frustrating and disappointing. The app isn’t worth it when you can never finish a game. Other than the freezing, it’s fun and enjoyable! Wish they would work out the bugs because it could be very successful.
  • Play with Friends games are horrible! Bot takes over!

    We have family that live in different states. We have been trying to Play Nine and the Bot ends up taking our turns! At least one player can’t even play because the Bot takes over. This has happened several times. It’s very frustrating. I have the card game and love it. But I was thrilled when I found out there’s an app so we can play from a distance. Not fun, after all.

  • Scoring and other glitches

    During the course of a game these has been multiple occasions where the current score for the round does not match the cards.

    Game freezes mid way through and you can’t restart or continue game or be credited your ticket.

    It would be nice to have statistics, and record for play.
  • This game is extremely glitchy.

    I have been playing this for about ten days and multiple times it has glitches out. My wife and I play it and several times it will get glitched and at the end of the game our score cards don’t match at all. One game it declared us both the winner in the other the loser on each phone. I have played with friends and had it completely skip the initial 2 card flip and let others go several times before you get a turn. If you look at the score and come back to the game it often disconnects. Great game with horrible reliability.
  • Game seems unfair

    We love Play Nine, the card game, so when this official app came out we were excited. After playing the offline version 30 times I think the app gives the fake players an edge, because I have NEVER won. It seems like when the fake players play a card it always replaces a higher one whereas I always replace zeros and -5! After 30 games I think even a beginning player would have won at least a couple. I'm very experienced as my family plays the card version all the time

    Hey! We took another look and the bots’(offline players) cards are 100% random. Keep in mind that bots are computers and you should be able to start learning their playing style. I know I play far different from the computer :) Good luck and reach out to us on playnine.com and we can provide some strategy tips!!
  • Cheating App

    Play nine is one of my favorite card games. I was pretty excited to find an app for it and even more excited when I saw the option to play with friends. I have some issues with this game. 1) the app will almost always get AT LEAST one -5 in each round. 2) If it weren’t for some ridiculous play choices the app makes, it would probably win most rounds based on the cards dealt 3) there are glitches when playing with a friend.

    Thank you for the excellent feedback! Stay tuned for the new release. We finally got Play with Friends working well and a lot of those other issues are fixed as well!
  • Great game but keeps disconnecting

    I have the paper version of this at home and as a household we play the card game too much, it’s our favorite! I was so thrilled to see the app but am dissatisfied with the performance of the app. When I’m playing another member of my household on the app, I keep getting disconnected. I had to buy more tokens to play but I can’t even get through an entire game with out it disconnecting. This glitch is making me spend more money within the app
  • Great but buggy!

    Truly a great app and great adaptation of the card game, but super buggy! I hate that if you even check the time on your phone or switch to another app during an online match with a friend it disconnects you. Also, if you hit skip twice quickly, it allows you to play your turn again and draw another card. Also randomly disconnects you from the game.
