A small tip to support development

User reviews

New layout is terrible

Old layout showed all 4 hands…. New layout only shows 3 hands

It ruined the game

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback! The game hadn’t been updated in a long time and we were at risk of it not working with new iOS updates so we redesigned it. We’ve heard yours and others’ feedback and implemented a landscape mode now that looks and feels like the original. Update the app and give it a try! Small note: you can scroll the hands at the top of the screen in portrait mode to see all the hands. Give it a shot and update/send a new review if you have any more feedback!

Update

Do not like the updated version. Go back to the way it was before and add an undo button.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We hear you — we actually just brought back landscape mode in today's update. We'd love for you to give it another try and keep sending feedback. How about a shake-to-undo feature similar to other iPhone apps, that’s a great item for a future release. Thanks for the feedback and for sticking with us!

New format

This has always been my go to game - do not like the new format. Playing area is too small. Cannot see the numbers on my phone. Can I revert back to the old version?

Response from developer

Hi there! Thank you for the feedback! It has been a lot of years since our last update on 9 holes so we were in need of an update and complete re-write of the game. We have gotten the feedback that the portrait mode of game play was a desired feature so our re-write focused on that. But thank you for sending your thoughts about the old landscape layout! Over the next couple of weeks we I’ll try to implement a landscape layout reminiscent of the original. Stay tuned! *Update* - we have added support for landscape playing that goes back to who the game used to look and feel. The latest update was approved tonight and is pushing out there now! Let me know how you like the update and send any further feedback you might have.

Turn off

After I hit the quit button ... nothing happens game remains on my screen . 3 times I had to shut down my phone to exit game . Fix plz

Crashing

It is ridiculous to charge people for an app that continually crashes! Great game but that sucks
