### 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.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2015-09-20*

Cool app to find new card games

### 5/5 — Handy little app

*2015-09-02, version 2.0*

Well designed app, with a slick interface full of card game rules.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

### 5/5 — Great and useful app!

*2014-07-28, version 1.3*

This app is perfect for keeping my family entertained on a rainy day or TV break time.
Lots of games to choose from and clear instructions for each. 
Worth the price, no problems or complaints at all. :)

### 5/5 — Card Rules Rules.

*2014-05-07, version 1.3*

A really handy application for checking the rules of card games. Helped me remembering some great games. Thanks to the developers!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-06-26*

Rules for lots of different games, many of which I never even knew existed! Highly recommended!

### 4/5 — Useful app.

*2013-06-25, version 1.1*

Costs you 69p to access all the card games in the app, but gives you the chance to try it for yourself first, with a few games available before the purchase. 
My friend & I were using this as a source of card games last night & the information for each card game is well organised into background, rules & variation. It also has a searching feature which allows you to sort by number of players. Explanations are concise & clear: recommend this app if you're looking for a source of new card games on the go!

### 5/5 — This rocks!!!

*2013-06-20*

I don't ever take the time to review apps, but I just had to for this one. Awesome app, super clear and simple. Great utility with this all-in-one app. It's a must have!

### 5/5 — Excellent Reference App

*2013-06-17*

While it is infrequent, I enjoy a good card game by the fire.  Many times, I forget the rules of a card game that I've played just once or twice in the past.  This is a great reference to help get a game going quickly.  Slick and easy to use UI.  Well done.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 1/5 — No solitaire?!

*2016-01-28, version 2.0.1*

What sort of card game rules collection doesn't even have solitaire, let alone cribbage. Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2015-12-28, version 2.0.1*

Didn't have any games I wanted to know

### 1/5 — Not free

*2015-07-11*

I had to pay to see any set of rules. That's not in app purchases that just false advertising as a free app

**Developer response:** The app is now 100% free. Thanks for your feedback =)

### 1/5 — Not what I needed

*2013-09-18*

I can't say for all of the games, but for the one card game that I downloaded it for, it was sorely lacking in game playing information and had nothing at all about how to score the hands. I will be deleting the app and requesting my money returned-- not what it was advertised to do. :-(

**Developer response:** The app is now much richer and totally free. Maybe you could give it another try and let me know what you think about it?

### 1/5 — Do not download this app

*2013-07-28*

Solicits money before giving me chance to try this app.  Then when I try to skip this step, it tries to access my password.  Then it hangs when i refuse to provide this information.  Deleted this app immediately.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The app is now totally free, and I'm swallowing the cost of the servers.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2013-06-26, version 1.1*

Not many games can be accessed unless you pay. Just make it $0.99 instead of all the begging. I NEVER enable in-app purchases.

### 3/5 — Great organization; doesn't always give credit where credit is due

*2015-05-26*

I like the ability to filter card games based on number of players and length of game. 

I subtract two stars for sloppy handling of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, which requires giving ATTRIBUTION for content being reused.

### 3/5 — Yeah yeah

*2013-08-29, version 1.1*

Decent

### 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 — 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.

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-02-04*

Super nice app.  Easy to use and full of great info.  Beautiful design too.  

I wish it had cribbage and pinochle, but I can understand why it wouldn't as those need more than just a common deck of cards.

### 5/5 — Good experience

*2016-01-31, version 2.0.1*

Nice lean user interface. Good app.

### 5/5 — Better than Bicycle!

*2015-12-27*

I always keep a deck of cards on me for games of all kinds. I only knew about seven or eight games that could be played, so I decided to try the Bicycle app. It was shoddy, basic work with fancy design compared to this app. I've learned about so many great card games with this app!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-09-20*

Finally, no more playing war or go-fish! This app is a great way to discover and learn new card games!
