### 5/5 — So good

*2025-01-20, version 4.4.1*

Such a great app to have to learn new card games especially whilst offline/camping/on a flight.

### 1/5 — Instructions very poorly written on a lot of games

*2025-01-09*

A lot of games seem to have broken images and or the instructions talk about doing things but never how so its confusing

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-07-03*

Love the recent updates/attention to this app that’s been around for a while! Great for quick reference and finding new things to play. 

 A few wishlist items:
- Ability to sort alphabetically
- Some way to signify if a certain number of players is the “standard” for a certain game (for example, Gin Rummy is listed as 2-4 players, but its standard play is just for 2 players, while 3-4 are variations; while searching, it’d be nice to know that the standard is just 2)
- Some instructions appear to reference a graphic that just shows up as a blank square on my phone

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the rating! These are great suggestions. I find the “standard number of players one” particularly interesting. I’ll think about a good way to surface that on the app.

### 4/5 — Nice but how do you request more games to be added?

*2018-12-28*

How do you request the maker to add more games?

### 5/5 — Exactly what you're looking for

*2017-07-28, version 2.0.1*

A nice, clean well laid out app that features pretty much all card games with some trivia.

Filters help greatly and so does favouriting.

### 5/5 — This must-have app saves time, hassles & friendships!

*2017-06-03*

"Close Enough to Perfect!" Was the title I used for my original review. It's the only thing that I changed. Everything still holds true. I came back to make sure my review was valid if there were any updates since then. 
So, on with the review...
Just what I was Needing, Looking For and Then Some. I don't recall ever giving out a full five⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 star rating, until now. Quite refreshing to find an app that's so well formed, easy to use, navigate, learn from, uncluttered, comprehensive.....& FREE! I definitely, highly recommend! Congratulation's Boris & Thank-you!

### 5/5 — Simple and beautiful interface

*2017-02-05*

The information is solid. The interface is delightful and intuitive. It makes me want to find games to play just for the sake of using the app.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2016-08-01, version 2.0.1*

Sitting at an airport for a long wait with a pack of cards, but a patchy memory. The rules are clearly explained, the filter makes it easy to find, for example, fast 2 player games. The favourites list keeps track of what you liked. And free. Fab!

### 4/5 — Fantastic!

*2016-07-22*

I have a modest collection of decks of cards at home and in my car, so naturally I know a few classic games to play. I really love this app-it has almost every game I know and several I haven't heard of. My only critique is that I wish the index were a bit more extensive as most friends I know aren't familiar with "tricks" or "bidding" and it can be a bit difficult to explain the terms clearly as misinterpretations and disputes happen often. All in all, a fantastic collection.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!
I'm currently working on an update and will make sure to add more index terms as you suggested.

### 4/5 — Great

*2016-05-22, version 2.0.1*

A simple but informative set of rules for many card games. I particularly like the filters for difficulty and no of players.
