Can’t play online
Wish you can play live with players and not computer. Not realistic
Cut throat is fun.
Cut throat is better than partners because the partner is pretty bad and has no idea what third man high means.
Great version
Still playing this 5 years on. I read another reviewer that said he couldn't renege, I have no idea what he's talking about because it works perfectly. Rules are somewhat changeable (there's a rules list with checkmarks you can modify) as auction is played a bit differently here and there. Easy to figure out. Not gonna lie it's not a flashy game, but if you were like me and auction was a game that you played with your family and friends growing up, This is great.

Good tool for kids
I tested this app out myself recently to see how it works. I only play verse the computer so that’s all I can speak to but it works pretty well. If I pass on the first hand of the game it freezes every time but that’s a minor thing. I wanted it so my kids could use it as a learning tool on their tablets and it worked great! I unleashed them at a family gathering after only about a month of them playing everyday with me next to them coaching strategy and they smoked my father and I in their first ever team match! 😂 They got it fast with this app to help teach them. Great tool for learning and fun enough to pass some time with as well.

Fix the CPU strategy on partners
When playing partners, third man high needs to be included in the strategy for CPU because it just ruins the bid otherwise. The CPU bidding style is also insane. I will constantly get overbid by my opponent and most times, they 3-4 trump cards but all rags
Computer always wins
Computer always wins. Always has the better cards. It’s not random shuffle.
Poor plays
Plays poorly. In cutthroat play, Instead of trying to set the bidder, the opponents are only out to gain points. In partner play, there is no concept of third man high.
Not realistic
Nonsensical plays ruin a great game. Playing a trump on your partners winning trick when you are playing last doesn’t make sense
Can’t renege
The way we play, what ever is trump, if, the Jack of trump is led, you can renege your five off of it, or if the ace of hearts is led, you renege the Jack, or the five. You can also renege the ace of heart off of a lower led trump. But you can’t renege it if the Jack or five was led, and you can’t renege the Jack off the five if it’s led.
So in short, the ace of hearts, Jack of trump, and the five of trump can be reneged off of any lower led trump.
Would be great if this was allowed in this app.

Stinks
If you like losing play this game. I play to relax but it’s hard when you get out bid and have no trump cards. When you get nothing in the draw. When they bid 15 and have 5 trump and you have none
3rd card high rule.
Computer does not recognize this rule and generally will play the lowest trump available to beat what is played. This leaves the partner in a negative position.
Bugs Not Fixed
App often asks player to select a suit, but doesn’t show suits to choose from. Basic bug fixes should be addressed promptly, especially for paid version
Basic rules
When playing 4 player, my “partner” never or rarely plays 3rd man high. Especially when he/she wins the bid and starts. Burns my opportunity to help. Also cannot play online??
AI makes a lot of mistakes.
AI does not play correctly. AI leads with trump on cot throat and partners. That is a mortal sin in this game. The creators really need to fix this.
Promising but flawed
Paid for add free lasted a week so that sucks
Trouble creating a game
Hello, Thank you for creating this app! I used to play this in college daily but the only way to play with and against my buddies would be online now but I am unable to create a game online. Please help with this.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Great game but online doesn’t work for me.
From Nova Scotia
ONLY thing I don’t like is. If the trump card isn’t Hearts and the Ace of Hearts is played, the other player isn’t forced to play a Heart if they have it. They should be - you always have to follow suit. I guess the A.I. could be a little more aggressive.
Also, I wish you could bet 30 for 60 and Go Out the Back Door

I wanted to give this a 4 star
It was the spelling errors and grammar misuse that made me pick 3 stars. The interface is decent but it’s not conducive to an iPhone user. Every time I swipe up to play a card the phone thinks I’m leaving the app. I can’t anymore. Besides the computers can’t beat me. 💔
Winning
I was 120 for several hands yet did not win. I don’t understand the logic. Did the game’s scoring get stuck? Also, if a player has a five why doesn’t he have to bid 20? That’s the normal rule. And it’s a normal rule, a player must be 100 to bid 20 to win. I played 10 games straight, didn’t receive one biddable hand. I rate your game -10.
