They need to reprogram their game so the dealer doesn’t always make their cards a winning hand. This game would be ideal if it followed the rules of basic strategy. Hard to play if you know you are drawing dead. ### 3/5 — Great game but WAY too many ads *2020-08-21* Great gaming format, but way way WAY too many ads. Great app otherwise. ### 3/5 — Loved...until the ads started *2020-05-02* Played this game incessantly for 2 days, as it is the best BlackJack app I’ve found. Then, suddenly, ads started popping up randomly. Very annoying and with no option to make a “no ads” purchase. Very disappointing, as I love playing BlackJack and have thoroughly enjoyed paying to play other games from this developer. ### 2/5 — Stop the ads! *2018-07-30, version 1.3.5* I would just purchase the app. The ads are so annoying! ### 4/5 — Dealer did not freeze at 17! *2018-07-01* Glitch to fix, The dealer had 17 with two aces and did not freeze, busted with 27. I am thinking the two aces that can be scored 1 or 11 had something to do with the glitch. Otherwise, great game! ### 4/5 — Great but one one suggestion... *2018-06-17* This is my favorite BlackJack game! Only complaint is the ads. I don’t mind them, but they pop up in the middle of the hand. I’d like vet to see a purchase game to get rid of them. I’d pay gladly since as I said, I loved every this one. ### 3/5 — Blackjack *2018-05-24, version 1.3.0* Fun game but way too many ads. ### 4/5 — Can’t I just purchase it? *2018-05-24* I really enjoy this game but am tired of the ads. I am more than willing to pay a few bucks to get rid of the ads but the option does not seem to exist. Am I missing something? ### 3/5 — Casino *2018-05-13, version 1.3.0* It’s fine ### 2/5 — Would be good but *2018-03-31* Constantly freezes on Blackjack Switch....... very frustrating ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2018-03-22* Enjoy playing but there are too many ads. ### 3/5 — Meh *2018-02-18, version 1.2.0* Title says it all ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nice Game - Too Many Ads *2022-11-25* I understand ad revenue, but a few hands of blackjack is not a fair trade for a jarring and repetitive 30 second commercial. I love the Gin Rummy app from this developer, and purchased the add free option, might have done the same for this app, but without that option, I deleted it instead, ### 1/5 — Buggy *2022-08-05* Screen freezes every time cards are split ### 1/5 — Horrible game *2021-10-27* Fixed, glitchy , all in all a bad game. I have several screenshots of their deals with 2 cards that equal one number, but their math says otherwise. On top of thAt, the dealer 4 and 5 card draws to 21 with 14 and 15 starting hands all the time. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2019-06-15, version 1.4.1* Outrageously unrealistic with cards dealer gets. Becomes unplayable with constant ad interruptions. Opened game to 30 sec ad. Played 5 hands, interrupted by another 30 sec ad. Deleted. ### 1/5 — I hate ads *2018-03-14* I hate ads too ### 2/5 — Good game but way too many ads! *2023-06-12, version 1.8.4* Good game but way too many ads! ### 2/5 — Way too many ads disrupt game *2022-09-18* Too many ads Too often Too long Too bad as otherwise a nice game ### 2/5 — Hack *2021-10-19* 9/10 times the dealer will win, blackjack 5 times in a row before i even had a chance. ### 2/5 — Just okay...maybe. *2019-12-19* First of all if the dealers card comes up that asks you to get insurance from their blackjack 99% of the time the dealer will blackjack and you will lose. If the dealer is dealt a face card or 10, 99% of the time they will have a score of 20. Also, the frequency and length of ads have increased to the point I don’t like playing it as much as I used to play. Even encountered a 1 minute ad today after playing only 5 hands. ### 2/5 — tooo many ads *2018-08-08* Would like to say I enjoy playing but it seems to advertise other games so I set it down do something Elsa and then come back to it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Switch *2023-02-02, version 1.8.4* I love this version of Blackjack and it’s hard to find in person and in an app. Excellent play since they fixed a bug with insurance. I’m impressed. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2020-10-31, version 1.4.1* Loads of fun ### 5/5 — Blackjack *2019-06-06, version 1.4.1* Great game wish to pay for the chips was cheaper.Get rid of side bets would be great don't see why have it in the first place. ### 5/5 — How It Is! *2018-07-02* Great to play when there is absolutely nothing else to do!...lol👍🏼🕺🏻 ### 5/5 — My new favorite! *2017-10-04* North sky does it again! I love the daily challenges and can't wait to try out the different game types included! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-08-19* Very addictive casino style blackjack, plays and looks great! :-) ### 4/5 — LarryD *2022-02-12* Just started playing. Looks good, live players and chat would be nice. ### 4/5 — Great game *2019-12-08, version 1.4.1* Side bets make it more interesting ### 4/5 — Good game once you get past the beginning 30 sec commercial ads! *2019-02-18* This game has fast, easy play 21. However, you need patience in the beginning of each segment of play because the ads are a full 30 seconds before you can X out of them! Some games can lose their appeal if the player is easily “fed up” with commercial time constraints. ### 4/5 — Switch *2018-10-27, version 1.4.0* Good game but wanna get to switch sooner --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
