### 1/5 — Crashes every game

*2026-07-27*

It took longer to start one game than to actually play it. It kept crashing regardless of what mode you choose.

### 1/5 — Riggged to keep you playing. Also bugged.

*2026-03-22*

Have played enough iterations now with tracking.

When you play single player ranked against bots, hands are intentionally rigged to kick your rankings back down and keep you playing more.  It was beyond a statistical significance.

Game also bugs out and freezes for no reason about once every other game. You can wait it out and it sometimes comes back after about 2-3 minutes but if you exit out, it also kicks your rankings down. (I’m sure that wasn’t intentionally designed, but very annoying ofc.)

### 5/5 — great game

*2026-01-13, version 1.240*

love this card game but difficult to find people here that understand how to play. So glad i discovered it🙂

### 2/5 — Randomly freezes

*2025-10-15, version 1.240*

I love this game, but they need to update their bugs. I keep losing points for no reason as it idles and just stops the game.  So frustrating.

### 2/5 — It’s toxic

*2025-01-31, version 1.240*

People just quit when they are losing and the game ends abruptly. Happens all the time. Online rankings are broken. The quitting alone always ruins any good game. It’s like quitting and booting people is a part of the app. Needs fixing.

### 5/5 — 13 card Chinese poker

*2024-12-01*

This is super fun especially with the difficulty level you can choose. It’s addicting to play.

### 5/5 — Cannot play

*2024-11-09, version 1.240*

The multiplayer mode is not loading so can’t play against others ! It’s a decent basic app .

### 2/5 — UI Update is not nice

*2024-08-19, version 1.231*

The UI change in making the cards larger is terrible. It had a cleaner look before.

### 2/5 — Big 2

*2024-07-27, version 1.231*

Game locks on adverts

### 3/5 — Game chests

*2024-07-20*

I keep log of my cards after 100 hands I realized I was given inferior cards that simply do not add up in terms of coincidence. I’ve had runs with no 2’s 7-8 straight games and same time getting 80% of my cards between 2-10 always skipping a straight. 
Also everytime I seem to win the system freezes on me. It’s so frustrating to try and get my score above 1500.
In real life after 40 years I average a 60% win rate with humans, here I’m believe 20% and that is senseless. Too bad as this is the most confortable and only pusoy game I’ve seen that plays like life. They should really do a new one w better ai and cool graphics.
