However when I went to main menu it said I didn’t win and I still have to win one more game to unlock challenge mode and the new deck I received is locked. It didn’t even count it as a win. I don’t know why and I tried restarting the app and it still didn’t work. Another thing I copied the seed from that game and beat the game again and it didn’t give me anything. So I don’t know what to do. ### 2/5 — I love the game, but… *2026-08-26, version 1.4.9* I saved a game midway through and when I went back play it while being offline, it said it needed to load cloud save and just had an endless loading screen. It didn’t load until I was back on wifi. Now every time I want to load it offline I can’t because somehow this game needs to be connected to the internet to play. I don’t know if this is due to a recent update, but it had not happened before and now it’s every time I am offline. ### 3/5 — Seed bug? *2026-08-26, version 1.4.9* I will start a new non seeded run with the plasma deck and it won’t give me a seed when I fail. I’ve tried multiple times to get it to give me a seed from different runs. ### 5/5 — Cinema *2026-08-09, version 1.4.9* Best way to make an apple version for a game ### 5/5 — Gambling *2026-08-08, version 1.4.9* My knob has been cranked way too hard ### 2/5 — Not iPad w/Keyboard Friendly *2026-08-08, version 1.4.9* Guess we will never see this fixed… If you have an iPad and the mouse/keyboard, avoid the game for now. The mouse disappears and you can’t click on cards. Not worth playing if you can’t use the keyboard and mouse… ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-07, version 1.4.9.1* THIS…….. GAME……… IS……… AMAZING. ### 5/5 — Healthy addiction *2026-08-07, version 1.4.9* Fun! ### 5/5 — addicting *2026-08-06, version 1.4.9* this game will take over your life ### 4/5 — Very good game - nearly perfect *2026-08-04, version 1.4.9* Not a lot of games that are fun and challenging where you just want to keep going. Honestly this could be my number 1 game, the only thing missing is that it doesn’t support portrait mode, it’s only landscape. Nothing wrong with that, just circumstances don’t always let me. It would be an accessibility feature for me :) fingers crossed!! Maybe it’ll happen in the future 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Best Card Game on AppStore *2026-08-03, version 1.4.9* This game is awesome and addicting. Love how there are no micro transactions or expansions. ### 5/5 — Good game but needs to remove the plant boss blind *2026-07-26, version 1.4.9* It’s really good and addictive but the plant is too brutal to face-card builds. ### 5/5 — There goes my money *2026-07-25, version 1.4.9* Lost all my money to the cartel pretty cool experience ### 3/5 — Fun game. Unforgivable bug. *2026-07-20, version 1.4.9* You cannot have a challenging roguelike that you struggle to win at high difficulty and then it just….doesnt save. It doesn’t even crash or anything. Just randomly doesn’t count your successful run. Really braindead bug that should be EASILY fixable or at least allow for failsafes and contingencies. ### 5/5 — Almost Too Good *2026-07-18, version 1.4.9* I’ve had to lock down my phone’s settings to stop me mainlining Balatro all day. Incredibly addictive gameplay loop and the satisfaction when you set up some incredible synergy is huge. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cloud Save still not working *2026-09-03, version 1.4.9* My achievements seem to be saved between installs but all progress not. Reported this a year ago and gave up playing as it was happening so often. Returned just now but it is still broken. Impossible to play if unlocks and progress can’t be relied upon. Others reporting the same issue in reviews here and for the non Arcade version. Could we please get a fix or at least a recognition of the issue? ### 1/5 — Most overrated garbage oat *2026-08-18, version 1.4.9* There’s no strategy. It’s mindless button clicking until rng says you can win. You can lose because of no fault of your own and you can win the same way. ### 1/5 — No Undo Sell *2026-07-28, version 1.4.9* The sell joker option is right next to moving jokers around. The number of times I’ve accidentally sold a joker is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Good Game If It Works *2026-07-23, version 1.4.9* It is a great game when it works. For some reason when you win a round it does not register. In a game where progression is based on winning rounds that means the game doesn’t work. Unacceptable for a game you need to pay for would not spend money on it. ### 1/5 — Offline progress does not save *2026-07-05, version 1.4.9* Progress made while on airplane mode -> eventually reconnect to internet -> game overwrites local save with cloud save instead of the inverse. PLEASE FIX THIS. This game is so fun to play when backpacking with no cell service. I get back to civilization and connect to the internet and all my progress is lost. Horrible backend architecture. ### 1/5 — Não abre *2026-06-28* O jogo simplesmente não funciona no meu iPad A16. Ele abre, fica na tela “balatro”, e não abre mais. Fico decepcionado pois ele roda perfeitamente no meu Mac, mas no meu iPad não. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for reaching out and we’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue with Balatro.

Not intuitive at all, and the fact you lose everything you purchased because the game decided to give you the middle finger is pure BS! Uninstalled, never touching this app again. Horrible UI design. ### 1/5 — Constant bugs, unplayable *2026-06-12, version 1.4.9* I tried to play it but when you go to buy cards or use them you can’t. Nothing happens. It takes 30 out more tries for each card to work. Insane! ### 1/5 — Decks *2026-06-10, version 1.4.9* The benefits for each deck are not showing or working ### 1/5 — Good game, bad service *2026-06-02, version 1.4.9.1* Balatro is a top tier game that I’ve played multiple times a day and had so much progress in only to open the game one day with nothing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2026-08-31, version 1.4.9* Love ### 5/5 — Pure GENIUS 🥸 *2026-08-27, version 1.4.9* One of the greatest games of all time, should be game of the year every year. G.O.A.T G.O.T.Y ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-08-21, version 1.4.9* Slept on this, downloaded it for a flight, have played it non stop in my downtime since. ### 5/5 — Game is amazing *2026-08-19, version 1.4.9* I love this game so much no bugs ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-08-18, version 1.4.9* I know have a crippling addiction ### 5/5 — Sooooooooooooo fun *2026-08-18, version 1.4.9* Best game ever ### 5/5 — ah… options *2026-08-17, version 1.4.9.1* Still though, the ‘windowed’ bug. tks :) Stanic game. Do not play. ### 5/5 — Endless Fun *2026-08-17, version 1.4.9* This game has become one of my favorite games of all time. Incredibly addicting. Set speed to highest setting once you have it down and let it rip. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-14, version 1.4.9* First time playing and I find it very entertaining ### 5/5 — Very good game *2026-08-12, version 1.4.9* Very beautiful art style, fabulous soundtrack, and very immersive, and simple, gameplay. I don’t need to get too deep into explaining. It’s just a great game. 5 stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
