It was great ... once

This is a great app, but your recent update has crippled it (as far as I can tell). On v1.2 you could easily start a new game between rounds. Now you must tap Settings and then reset game, and this has become annoying. I have downgraded back to 1.2 and love it again.

Latest Update Unsuccessful

Right after uploading the latest update, the app just kept crashing after trying to start a new game. I really think it would help to move the 'new game' button location back to the popup after every round. Never had a crashing problem until this new update; it's a great app so please fix!

Why The Change

Who on earth asked for the ' New Game' button to be moved. Before if you had a bad first round you could choose to continue or start a new game on the live screen, now you have to go to settings taking 3 clicks instead of 1 to start a new game. I love the game but this is really annoying & makes no sense. Since when is 3 clicks better than 1.The first screen new game button was only added in the recent update too. Sheesh!!

Love it!

Works just as advertised! Easy to play, clear instructions and nice interface. Would like to see a couple of changes for the next version ...and they are. 1. A way to record high score, either in-game and/or online 2. Would be nice to see it work diagonally also 3. It would be cool to see a feature remove cards once 21 was accomplished so you could score higher (reuse row) Other than that ...great game! New Review as of 24 Sept 08: Change it back NOW! The NEW game feature was better the old way! The new way is cumbersome and does not seem to work reliably! Love the game but change back to the OLD new game feature, PLEASE!

Brilliant

Of all the apps on my iPhone, this is one of the ones I find myself continually returning to. An alluring mix of luck and skill, it's very playable and highly addictive. I've never come across a bug either - and I play it a lot. Well worth your time.

Great!

This game is really good. Very addictive! The app I use most on the iPhone.

Time passer

Good game to pass time n fairly addicting n should get a couple new things added on

Can't. Stop. Playing.

Reset button would be great, but not gonna knock off a star just because of my laziness. Incredibly addicting. I catch myself saying "just one more game" repeatedly. It's nice to have a game that requires some fast thinking.

Scores/Strategies

Here's a post for all of you guys that had recently inquiring about high scores and how to get them. My high score right now is 2395, and I played all three rounds with all 5 hands of 21. It took an incredible amount of luck, so much so that I don't think I'll ever be able to reciprocate this feat. I highly doubt that anyone in the foreseeable future will be able to top this score, as I didn't leave much room for improvement. The only way you'll beat it would be to have more blackjacks than I did (as they're worth twice as much as a regular non blackjack 21 hand), and do it in less time (more time left bonus). Like I said, highly unlikely that this will happen considering all the factors involved. As for strategy--Try to make hands of 11! The deck is more than 30% cards that are worth 10, so the more 11s you have, the more 21s you'll be able to convert.
