### 3/5 — Game freezes

*2023-04-08*

Game freezes after every hand. You have to either shut it off and reopen it or tap the screen, the game will deal the cards but is still froze. You then hit the question mark and it will work for another hand.

**Developer response:** Hello,I apologize if you're running into an issue with the game. You can reach us with any issues or questions at support@concretesoftware.com.Thank you,Concrete Software

### 3/5 — Calculate?

*2022-04-22, version 2.1.9*

It would be nice if we could have the option to add the points ourselves 🧮

### 4/5 — Loved it until..

*2021-10-27, version 2.1.9*

Amazing app! Visually. Helps me understand the game. 
However as of today, it keeps crashing on me as soon as I open it. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail. Can’t seem to contact the developer. 
Shame. I bought the add free version. 
Any thoughts?

**Developer response:** Hello,We made a back end change in order to help with this issue. If you continue to run into issues, please reach out at support@concretesoftware.com.Thank you,Concrete Software

### 4/5 — Nice, but would be nicer with online play against a friend

*2020-06-21, version 2.1.9*

This is definitely the smoothest and nicest of all cribbage apps on iOS, but why no online vs. friend mode? Gotta be asynchronous play of course cause most of us are on the go. Also a design a profile avatar like someone mentioned before would be nice; more themed boards too would make this app absolutely perfect.

Five stars if this ever happens.

Excellent game otherwise!

**Developer response:** Hello,Thank you for your feedback and suggestion for an asynchronous multiplayer mode. If you have more feedback for us, please feel free to let us know at support@concretesoftware.com.Thank you,Concrete Software

### 4/5 — Enjoying it!

*2020-01-13, version 2.1.9*

Ive enjoyed it for about a week! Was annoyed today when it wouldn’t even turn on while waiting for my wife while in Walmart! Got home and it worked fine! Must have been limited cell service in building? I don’t know if you have to have service to play or not!

**Developer response:** Hello,I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with the game when trying to play with limited Internet connection. You can send us a message at support@concretesoftware.com or using the contact button in the game's inbox and we can look into this.Thank you,Concrete Software

### 4/5 — Every day

*2019-05-28, version 2.1.9*

I love playing this game. My only wish is for a chance to SEE where I missed counting since I use the “expert” method where I do my own counting. If the game would PAUSE when a counting error was made then I could learn where I’m making mistakes.

### 4/5 — Fun, fast

*2019-02-12, version 2.1.8*

Enjoy this game. Play moves right along. More options for players might be nice but basically no improvements needed from my point of view.

### 2/5 — Flawed update

*2019-01-23, version 2.1.8*

After the latest update, the stats section only records your losses, not your wins. And the ads seem even more aggressive now.

### 4/5 — You'll pay to remove ads, needs multiplayer!

*2018-11-13, version 2.1.6*

This app is well animated and quick. There are a ton of video ads so if you like the get, you'll probably end up removing them. I wish this had a multiplayer version.

### 2/5 — No game continuity with constant adds

*2018-10-12, version 2.1.6*

Adds constantly interrupt your active game, I downloaded it and deleted after one game. I understand the need for adds on free games, but place them in the beginning or end of the game not multiple times in the middle of a game.

### 1/5 — Buggy app

*2021-11-06, version 2.1.9*

The app stopped working and when I deleted it to reinstall it, it acted as if I never paid for the ad free version and was trying to scam me for another $2.99.  Not happy

### 1/5 — Has problems running, captures the paste buffer

*2021-11-02, version 2.1.9*

If you start the game, go on to something else and come back, the game usually just hangs and needs to be force quit. The game doesn’t always launch under iOS 15. If you have copied something, the game will capture whatever you have when you launch it. It hasn’t been updated in two years so none of these problems will be getting fixed.

The icing on the cake?  The support link in the App Store takes you to a dead (404) page.

**Developer response:** Hello,Thank you for sharing these issues with us. You can send details about issues to support@concretesoftware.com and we can work to look into them (though you are correct we do not often update this game).Thank you,Concrete Software

### 1/5 — Game keeps freezing

*2021-02-04, version 2.1.9*

Purchased the full version. During game play the game will randomly freeze. The only way to continue playing is to cancel game. Zero customer support.

### 1/5 — Unusable on iPhone 11.

*2020-08-31, version 2.1.9*

Why? Because you have to swipe the cards up from the bottom of the screen, thus bringing up open apps on the phone.
Solution: the game maker should allow a tap of the card, instead of a swipe up, to select a card.
Deleted.

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2020-01-13, version 2.1.9*

Used this app for several months, now I just get a flash of a black screen before the app closes down.  Tried rebooting I pad, then deleted the app and downloaded again.  App won’t open

### 1/5 — Buggy, crashes, unable to restore purchases

*2019-04-11, version 2.1.9*

Running on the XS Max. App stopped working and wouldn’t load. Had to re-install. Now unable to restore purchases so it looks like I’m out $2.99. Link to app support from App Store goes to 404 error.

### 1/5 — Worked Fine For Awhile Then . . .

*2019-03-07, version 2.1.9*

. . . it quit loading. I uninstalled and then reinstalled SEVERAL times but to no avail. It would work for a few hands, then fail to load. 

While it worked it was enjoyable. 

It seems that something happened after the last app update. That’s a shame. Otherwise I would recommend the app.  

The developers said they’d work on a bug fix; NOT. Do not spend your $$$$ on this app until the developers FIT IT!  

That is quit the shame because it had the BEST ui for this type of game.

### 2/5 — Ads are extreme

*2022-01-22, version 2.1.9*

This game doesn’t have adds after every game, it has ads after every HAND! I’ve played one game and am deleting. Enough is enough!

### 2/5 — Cribbage Critique

*2019-10-05, version 2.1.9*

Commercials interrupt but make it annoying when they block out the game and I have to go back to icon to play more!

### 2/5 — Nice, but needs updates for iPhone X and newer

*2019-10-01, version 2.1.9*

I really want to like this game, as it’s overall a good game with decent graphics and animations. 

However, the developer hasn’t implemented the proper UI Safe Areas for iPhones with a Home Indicator and this causes great annoyance. Since the “play a card” mechanism is a “drag the card” gesture, and the cards are located right next to the Home Indicator, about a third of the time I try to play a card, the OS sends me to the home screen instead. 

These devices have been available for more than two years and you’d think it would have been fixed by now.

**Developer response:** Hello,Thank you for your feedback regarding this with Cribbage as well. As with our previous message, you can reach us at support@concretesoftware.com or using contact button in the game's inbox with feedback or issues.

### 5/5 — Best Cribbage Game In App Store

*2020-12-17, version 2.1.9*

They only thing holding this game back from editors choice is multiplayer. Nothing fancy.  Just straight up and simple.

### 5/5 — Best of the cribbage games

*2020-11-18, version 2.1.9*

Definitely the nicest and smoothest running game. Only issue is that it gives you a go point and than allows you to still point 2 for a 31.

### 5/5 — Super fun

*2019-07-11, version 2.1.9*

This is a really good cribbage app, best of all the ones I’ve tried. I learned cribbage in third grade, and now we’re teaching our kids (not on the app, on my father in laws  board, the same one my wife learned on as a kid.)

### 5/5 — Hello from great player

*2019-03-16, version 2.1.9*

Have also played over 50 years I have skunked or double skunked every game I’ve played I knew I was a great player but I need real players to really judge the app

### 5/5 — Crashes

*2019-03-02, version 2.1.9*

This used to work on my iPhone 6. I just got an iPhone Xr, iOS 12.1.4 and it crashes when it tries to load

**Developer response:** Hello,
We're aware that some players are encountering issues with the game crashing on them when they try to launch the game and we're working to get the issue fixed for future updates to the game. If you have questions you can reach us at support@concretesoftware.com

### 5/5 — Best Cribbage App ever ...

*2019-02-26, version 2.1.9*

I’ve been playing cribbage for 50+ years, I can normally walk through any other app with an 80% win ratio.  According to the stats on this game, in the 943 games I’ve played in 61 & 1/2 hours I have won only 440 games (46.7%).  Exceptional AI and very pleasing graphics as well as just the right touch of animation whereas it does not distract from the game play.  As mentioned by others, would love to play against others (by invite only vs. random player).  Would also like to personalize my Avatar with either my photo (preferred) or rendering a pseudo “pseudo” look alike one along as selecting the opponent avatar. Kudos on a job well done!

### 5/5 — Best cribbage game I’ve played

*2019-02-04, version 2.1.8*

It’s the one game I have left on my phone for years.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-12-27, version 2.1.6*

Can’t put the game down!

### 5/5 — Competitive

*2018-11-26, version 2.1.6*

This would be more fun if you could play against a friend, but it is fun and helps you stay brushed up on your skills. Impossible to beat the computer in the highest level, they know each move.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2018-10-26, version 2.1.6*

Enjoy the count your own or auto count options. 1 drawback: if you miss points it doesn’t show what you missed.
