This app does just what you would expect. It provides excellent practice in identifying what hand is being played. It’s fun and varied.

### 3/5 — Giving Credit Before It’s Due

*2023-05-08*

It’s not that I don’t like the app but since the switch to 2023 there’s a bug. For 50-75% of the rounds the full hand is filling in after I get only one correct tile. It’s not waiting for me to fill in everything. Even if there’s only one possible option after my first guess it should force me to fill in every tile as it always has in the past. I play without referencing the card so I’m not (yet) always 100% certain I’m right. If you fill in too quickly I’m not learning.

**Developer response:** Disable singles and pairs rules in settings.  For new players we changed the default setting so you won’t see this. Thanks for the feedback!
