  • Several red flags

    Playing against the computer almost feels like the game is rigged. The computer makes unrealistic choices which screws you over. The online option feels like playing against computer. Also has connection issues. Playing against friends and family is a neat option, however you can only do it when everyone is available at the same time. It also has connection issues and freezes a lot when playing with friends. It’s very frustrating when you’re waiting your turn and then it skips you b/c you ran out of time. That bug needs fixed. And there is no option to contact the company to report problems or make suggestions.
    Love the game, but the app needs a lot of work. So frustrated with this app. Playing with other friends is pretty much impossible because of connection issues. The app out of the blue disconnects from the game and it won’t reconnect. It just says joining room and nothing happens. The creators of the app are way behind.
    I don’t feel like the creators are fixing issues either

  • update ruined game

    Before the update i enjoyed playing this game daily. before the update i had issues with the algorithm used by computer players because they would, for example, switch out a 12 with an 11. but at least it was still somewhat fun. now its all 100% luck and impossible to use any strategy because at least one of the computer players will not exchange cards and will simply flip over a new card with every turn , irrespective of whether a great card is available from the discard pile . i love the new look of the game and the pace but i will stop playing until the algorithms are updated.
  • 2 Player Option

    The graphics are great. The pace of the game is good. Occasionally I feel like the algorithm gets stuck and during a game it’s like one player has all or nothing in the way of negative cards. But my main wish and the reason for three stars only, is that I wish you would allow Online Play to also have the choice to have only two players. For me having four players on a small screen is too much to take in and the game is not enjoyable. Therefore, I play the off-line version all the time in order to have just two players, but I would really like to be in a more competitive situation and not always play against your computer. Thank you for listening.

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for the feedback. We are making a remarkable changes to the AI side. The latest version will be available in few days.
  • Too buggy

    It ends the game in the middle and declares a winner - and it’s often not the person who was in the lead. More and more often, I can’t even start an online game. It just says I have been disconnected before even joining. Several times in the last week, it just freezes toward the end of a game and never recovers. Add in that the bots don’t play competitively, and finding actual humans to play with is rare, and this app is fairly useless.
  • Fun Game, But Buggy with Predictable AI

    The game is fun to play and a decent time waster if you are just trying to spend 5–10 minutes messing around on your phone. I’ve come across a weird bug where my score will be doubled for no discernible reason at the end of a round. In addition, the AI programming is super basic, where they will always cancel out a column even, if it is with all -1 or -2 cards, and they will always replace a revealed card with any card that is even one space lower when available. This results in the AI opposition making dumb and entirely predictable moves, and they take forever to open up even half of their hand.

    It’s fun to play, but the bugs and AI issues keep this from being a truly good or challenging game.

  • Addicted

    Sooooo fun! Love this game! There appears to be a glitch when you clear your board the game “freezes” and you have to “quit” the game to move on. Doesn’t happen very often, so not a huge deal. Also, the rules vary slightly from the card game - when you “bomb” a row the stack of three should be on top of the pile. Otherwise perfection. Thanks for the fun game!
  • Could be better…

    A decent port with 2 glaring problems. Biggest is the opponents cards are not arranged in a grid, so harder to defend. The other is the complete lack of a way to get rid of extremely annoying and long ads. I like the game, and if there was even a paid version that was ad free, I would keep. But with no apparent way to get rid of them, I will probably delete.
  • Skyjo is fun

    The game itself is fun. The app has some connection issues i do not with other app games and every now and then someone isn’t playing and their turn times out for the entire game. There should be a mechanism where the game boots them out and auto plays for them so everyone else isn’t stuck in the slowest game ever.

    Overall great game though and a fun way to burn time or relax.
