All Versions of Blackbird!

1.7.7

August 15, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. • Restore the size of the cards. • Add support for iPhone X • The multiplayer button has been removed. I feel really bad that multiplayer has been disabled for so long and that so many people just saw a message saying it was "coming soon". I really did intend to fix it well before now. But my life has gotten more busy than it was before and I don't want to promise it's coming soon. It is still on my list of things to add. I'd love to have a single device multiplayer mode. I'd love to have it work over bluetooth so you can play with nearby friends when you don't have an internet connection. And more. Aside from multiplayer, there are still requests to support more variations of the rules that I'd love to implement and many other features. I do plan to add more features. Multiplayer will take some time and I can't promise when it's coming. Thanks for your support!

Reviews of Blackbird!

  • Good game, tweak options have flaws

    This is a very good adaptation of the Kentucky Discard game. The visuals are sharp, the game moves along quickly. But I do have a question regarding the theme options. It appears I should be able to change card backs and backgrounds. But none of these work on my iPad. There’s a restore purchase tab, that doesn’t work either and I have a message that says Failed to load products. Why do none of the themes work? You’re rating would be higher if they did as this seems a clear error. Can you update this so we can fiddle with card backs and themes? I asked you about the tweak options that show up as being available but don’t work and you said you were on it. You haven’t done that and you haven’t updated this in five years. Why lie to me, just say you have no interest in creating themes for the game.
  • You better like losing!!!

    I love this game, but I gave it one star because I like so many others get so frustrated because the game is completely stacked against you. Rarely do you ever get good hands whereas the opponents get them almost every hand. Second, your team mate bids like a complete idiot betting the moon with only the rook and no 1 or 14 in trump. No real player is going to bet that high with that hand. Third, you better like losing because you will nearly every hand. If there is a hand where the opponent over bids, their partner will be able to cover them almost every time which completely unrealistic. Also, you know you're playing a computer because they play hands a way a normal person could not possibly know. For instance, your opponent will win the bid and the very first trick they play of the hand they don't throw trump, but it just so happens to be the only color their partner doesn't have and can trump you. That is impossible to know in real life. Developers please start reading these reviews and fix the game. It isn't like only one comment, almost every review has the same complaint.
  • Great Game!!

    Love this game and thanks to the developer who brings this to the App Store but I do wish they would make it possible to play and connect with your friends instead of the computer all the time. It would be worth paying a little to be able to do that!
