### 2/5 — Can’t win

*2025-11-19, version 2.1*

Game crashes every time win.  Reopen and hit continue and play the same two cards to win and crashes again.

### 4/5 — 4-stars because I can play caravan on my phone

*2025-01-25*

I wish I could build my own decks, I also wish jokers on aces worked the right way, I also wish I could use face cards on the cards I want easily. It’s really hard to put it on the right card! 

I would give it 3-stars as it’s not really the same game totally, but it’s 4 stars because I respect that someone took the time to make a caravan app and I think that’s awesome.

### 3/5 — Good app but needs work

*2024-12-21, version 2.1*

Rules are first to get two winning caravans wins the game. App requires the opponent to form a caravan before ending the game which is incorrect. Glad to see a caravan card game. Please keep working on it.

### 4/5 — amazing, but crashes

*2024-11-23, version 2.1*

every time i win it crashes ? overall great game and i love using it to practice caravan but it crashes when i win

### 4/5 — Wonderful game, but missing some features.

*2024-11-14, version 2.1*

This is a wonderful app for caravan lovers. 
Unfortunately the game can end with a tied caravan, and jokers don't discard a whole suite on an ace.

### 4/5 — Decent recreation

*2024-05-21, version 2.1*

Slightly differs in the win requirements but is still very good

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2024-05-19, version 2.1*

I have been learning how to play online. Fun except the game closes out as soon as either your or the AI wins. You aren’t able to pick your own deck which is a let down

### 4/5 — Fun but very unstable

*2024-05-12*

It’s a great option for playing Caravan on the go but the app has become really unstable over the years. I’d love if somebody took over ownership of the app and gave it a stability update

### 4/5 — Crashes after each game :(

*2024-04-30*

Game plays as expected of caravan, but unfortunately it crashes after each round.

### 3/5 — Love the game, dislike the quality

*2024-03-18, version 2.1*

Feels low quality and reset when someone wins.

### 4/5 — Two faults, but it’s Caravan

*2024-03-14, version 2.1*

Jokers used wrong. It’ll eliminate ALL cards of that number. App crashes at the end of the game. Is still Caravan though. So w/e.

### 3/5 — Good fun, needs some fixes.

*2024-01-14*

I love Caravan, always have - probably always will.

Most of my friends don’t know how to play it so having this app has been a godsend to help explain how the game is played, additionally gives me something to kill time. 

Removing ads was a one time purchase and was super cheap as well, so I’m quite grateful for that. Even if I hadn’t removed the ads, they weren’t too intrusive.

I have two issues with this app that knock it down from a 5 for me.

1. The multiplayer is broken, it’s been broken since I’ve downloaded the app and I have no idea if this will ever be fixed. I’d very much like to play it with my friends over the phone but not sure I’ll ever be able to.

2. Screenlock occurs once you’ve opened the app. It locks into a horizontal view but also blocks your ability to swipe up to exit the app, so the only way to exit (that I’ve found so far) is to swipe down and -hope- that you have a random push notification to click to pull you out of the app. Otherwise you need to restart your phone per use.

Assuming these issues aren’t just user error on my part, they’re pretty critical to the normal enjoyment of this app. But it’s worth noting this is the only (and a pretty decent version) Caravan app that I could find. 

If Caravan is your game; I’d still suggest trying it out.

### 4/5 — Exactly as read in the guide book!

*2023-10-22*

I felt like playing some Caravan and I was wondering what would show up if I had looked for Caravan on the app store, then this showed up, which was a big surprise for me. So naturally I downloaded and played the game, which didn’t disappoint, because it plays exactly like it’s instructed in the guide book! Well almost, Joker doesn’t discard all the suits of an ace card like it’s supposed to. It does reflect that originally you weren’t supposed to be able to discard cards in the beginning, which doesn’t show in Fallout: New Vegas when you’re able to discard as many cards as you like instead of shuffling because of possible glitches, but it does show in this game as it instead shuffles when you have no numerical cards. I wish it wouldn’t randomly crash as much on hard difficulty, but overall it’s a lot of fun!

### 3/5 — 3/5 Production of great card game

*2023-03-05, version 2.1*

Victory conditions not properly implemented and boots player to home screen on loss/win. Card functions do not operate as per game rules; caravans inconsistently permit players to use off-suit cards w/o first applying Queen, Jokers played on Aces function as Jack instead, etc.
Background tileset, SFX and music all above par. Great game for those seeking to play Caravan away from New Vegas game on console/PC and practice deck building strategies.

### 4/5 — Been working for ten years

*2022-12-19, version 2.1*

Crazy how long this app has been working we need multiplayer back though :(

### 2/5 — Does not follow original rules

*2022-08-31*

The app itself is clunky, does not have an aesthetically pleasing interface, and crashes with every complete game. 

The most frustrating part however is that the rules of caravan in FoNV are not followed in regards to the jokers. The joker played on a non face card is supposed to eliminate every non face card of the same numeric value except the one it’s played on. This game eliminates all of them even the one it’s played on. Also noticed that when two queens are played on one card it only reverses order once, or it at least keeps the same suit as the original card the queens are played on.

It seems this app is not getting regular updates so I’m likely screaming into the void but I love playing caravan and would be very pleased to play an accurate version.

### 4/5 — Great game, but

*2021-06-15, version 2.1*

This is a great game and I love playing it but I wish it had a money system where you can bet caps like in fallout: New Vegas

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-02-18*

This game does not work like FNV or by the multiple irl rule lists posted online winning doesn’t make sense because once you sell two caravans bigger than your opponents the game continues although winning conditions have been met and not to mention how horrible it looks and feels I hope this inspires you to make it better because there is currently no other options available

### 1/5 — Wanted to love it

*2024-05-27, version 2.1*

The app works fine until one of the players win.  I think this hasn’t been updated in a long time and is crashing whenever someone ends the round.  Please fix this, I would love to rate this 5 stars

### 1/5 — Pls update

*2024-05-22, version 2.1*

Crashes when someone wins or if certain cards are played on newer devices. Would appreciate an update!

### 1/5 — Wrong rules

*2021-01-19, version 2.1*

Either the developer doesn’t know the rules, or s/he fails to implement the rules.  Either way, it shouldn’t be that difficult to get it right, since so much effort was made to create the game. 1 star for the failed effort.

### 1/5 — only crashes on games where i’m winning

*2019-04-13, version 2.1*

nothing more fun than this

### 1/5 — Consistently crashes

*2016-09-27, version 2.1*

Unplayable

### 1/5 — This is NOT caravan.

*2016-01-26, version 2.1*

This is not Caravan. The rules do not match and some of the cards don't even do what they're supposed to do. I'd avoid this.

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2015-08-28, version 2.1*

Rules do not match the actual card game in NV and there are many bugs. The app crashes often and takes a long time to load ads.

### 1/5 — Close, but no cigar

*2015-07-01*

The game says its Caravan. There's a screenshot of Goodsprings in the background and New Vegas style music playing. But that's where the similarities end. The rules of this game DO NOT match caravan. Jokers take all of a number including the one played on, and they don't work to take all of that suit when played on an ace. The placement system is twitchy and will often place cards in the wrong location. If you love Caravan, this will just frustrate you.

### 1/5 — IOS6 problems

*2012-12-29, version 1.2.1*

Not good for IOS6 as crashes before a game can begin!!!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Such a fun game

*2026-02-11, version 2.1*

A guy came up to me in the tops asking me to play this game but since none of us had any cards this pip-boy 3000 mk IV holotape version worked great

### 5/5 — Honestly Great

*2025-10-15*

Super simple, great for quick games when you need to kill 5 minutes. The interface makes it easy to learn and you can speed up the AI when you get better. Honestly just simple fun. I wish there was a “very hard” difficulty, however, sometimes even Hard doesn’t feel too difficult.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-03-23*

It’s pretty much Caravan from New Vegas. What it says on the tin. I’ve enjoyed the game thoroughly, and have played it with others, who have enjoyed it too. Even figured out I’ve been playing it wrong with scoring wins! (It’s supposed to be 2 sold caravans, not all 3!)

My only complaint is that multiplayer is basically disabled forever, as the game hasn’t been updated in 9 years, and there’s also no local multiplayer on the same device. still fun to play regardless!!!

### 5/5 — Fully sick

*2024-08-05, version 2.1*

Just got addicted to the game after 100% fallout new Vegas. Super happy that this app exist. Wish nothing but the best for their future endeavours.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-04-24*

Really fun. It does still crash at the end of each game, but it’s not a big deal because you know who won. If it got fixed that’d be cool too though.

### 5/5 — Please fix the random crashing

*2024-04-22*

I got this app because of Fallout New Vegas I love this app and the music but the game randomly crashes on me

### 5/5 — Adds are OK

*2022-09-08*

The game is playable and definitely worth it if your trying to play caravan.
Been looking for a time killer and this here is it.
Didn’t know it’s been out for 7 years

### 5/5 — good game but needs to be updated

*2021-10-09, version 2.1*

idk if they're even aware of the game they made but it'd be amazing if they updated this tbh

### 5/5 — Time to bust out the Sierra Madre cards

*2021-06-24, version 2.1*

This app is simple and good, it’s just caravan from the game and there isn’t much more too it

### 5/5 — Honestly Great

*2021-03-02*

Super simple, great for quick games when you need to kill 5 minutes. The interface makes it easy to learn and you can speed up the AI when you get better. Honestly just simple fun. I wish there was a “very hard” difficulty, however, sometimes even Hard doesn’t feel too difficult.
