Leave a Review SET Pro HD
Flashy but clunky
Clearly, "SET Enterprizes" put a lot of effort into this game. Menus and gameplay are riddled with annoying transitions and animations. They provide you with over half a dozen gaudy backgrounds. There are new gameplay modes aren't much fun.
Sadly, they neglected to make a user interface that works on a tablet. The buttons are too small, every operation feels like it takes two taps too many, and the main menu is convoluted. Oh, and of course it doesn't remember your deck preference and asks you every time.
Multiplayer is especially awful. The "buzz in" button for each player is extremely tiny and in the heat of the moment will probably take several attempts to activate.
Personally, I'd much prefer a simpler app. Merely ask us for the number of players and let the game begin. Settings need only include the deck (basic or full) and game end preference (marathon mode with time or number of points, or classic deck). And of course no stupid flips or dealing animations, sounds, achievements, or rule variation - just blissful gameplay.Show lessiPhone_3GS_was_best
Good game
No problems with the app. Works well. Lots of fun.TimJez
Another disappointing implementation of a great card game.
It's unfortunate to see this classic card game beleaguered by another shoddy software implementation. Focuses more on frills like annoying animation of cards sliding while being dealt, intro music, and background images than actual gameplay; still lacks a setting to remember your preference to turn off the dumbed-down version of the game. Visual design is amateurish - even the splash screen content is misaligned from the actual rendered content on launch. Deleting this app.Show lessNSApplicationMain
Game center?
Great game! I own the real card version, but I have to say that I enjoy playing it on the iPad as well.
Implementation is clean, works great.
There is one important feature missing though, it is the ability to play against remote players. In my opinion, this would make it a 5-star game.Jpciudad
Great game, couple complaints.
Love the variations and interface for all modes of this classic game! However, there is a glitch that makes using the IPod during gameplay a hassle; and please give some options for the background. The fuzzy woodgrain is offensive to look at.Christopher Kay
Perfect
I've been playing the original Set card game since 1992. It's easily the best designed new card game I've ever seen. Wonderful for teaching kids to think logically but also to "think out of the box", and a great way to keep your mind active and alert. This adaptation to the iPad is fabulous. No more dealing out cards, straightening them out, etc. More time to just play Set and have a ball. I don't usually write reviews, but this one is worth every penny and more. LOVE IT!!Show lessSalsieann
Excellent Thinking Game!
I have been hoping that there would be an app. for this game and now there is! I highly recommend this game to people wether from this app. or to at least get this game in real life other than the app. Also good for teachers to get for their kids or anybody who works with kids and parents for their kids. Good for all people, kids and grown ups and will challenge anyone to not have a lazy brain. Also there doesn't seem to be any bad bugs or defects in the app. and seems to run pretty good. 5 stars for sure from me.Show lessPridebreaker
So exceptional!!
I was introduced to the card game about 12 years ago, and my sister and I each kept a deck in our purses, just in case a party or bored moment cropped up. Now I have it on my fabulous iPad!
A couple of things I would love to have: 1) ability to keep listening to iPod music. 2) stats that evaluate how long it takes you to find each type of SET (for instance, 1-2-3 solid squiggles of the same color is easier to see than an all-different set...) 3) different backgrounds... Even all-black... I'm tired of the smeared burl wood background.
I have only EVER found ONE really super-rare bug (it happened when the final 15 cards in a Classic Full Deck game was no-set... An extreme rarity!) which I will email to you... And that bug just requires that the game be reset. :)
Excellent programming. I was initially a little hesitant about the price ($7.99) but after buying it for myself, gifted it to my boyfriend, too!Show lessElfination
Great game.
Im a big fan of the card game and this version doesn't disappoint. It would be nice if you could change the background color to something other than that brown.NotreDewey
Set is perfect for the iPad
Set is a natural fit for the iPad. The slick visuals and clean UI make for a much smoother gaming experience than with the traditional SET deck of cards. Since the cards are dealt out automatically after a set is identified, everyone has an equal opportunity to scan the cards for another set without having to worry about the advantages/disadvantages of manually dealing cards. And the “No Set” feature is great! The game forces you to find that difficult set – no dealing extra cards just because you can’t find it!
The game is perfect for multiple players – 4 can play very easily. And the single-player modes are great when you need a quick-fix of the game when no one else is around.
With all of the various gaming modes available, the game is well worth getting, especially when you consider it is cheaper than buying the traditional SET game.Show lessM@elstrom
