User reviews

buggy

Great app, but extremely buggy.

Gin (10card):
1) will often force an 11th card into your hand, so that you are drawing & discarding a 12th card.
2) doesn’t always properly count sets, e.g. will count 2 sets of 5 as gin rummy.
3) will also repeatedly disallow user to discard, which isn’t always fixed by killing/restarting iMessage

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting these bugs! These issues (with the exception of 5-card runs) were fixed with version 3.6.1. While there are many rule variants of Gin, the variant the app uses allows for runs greater than 3. Potentially, you could even win by creating a run of cards with rank 1-10 that share a suit, although that would be unlikely.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The rules for Gin are for some reason applied to Crazy 8. Not sure why as I understand the games to be played differently. Other than that, gameplay is smooth with good graphics.

Response from developer

Hi! The first rules page for Gin and Crazy 8s are indeed the same because both games have the same setups. Only pages 2-4 are different. Or do you mean you are playing Gin while the game text says it’s Crazy 8s? I would like to fix the issue for you and other users.

Excellent and Addictive Card Game Experience

This app delivers a smooth and enjoyable card gaming experience right inside iMessage. The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate, making it simple to jump into games like Gin Rummy, Crazy 8s, and Golf with friends. Gameplay runs seamlessly with no noticeable lag, and the design keeps everything engaging without being cluttered.

What really stands out is how convenient it is to play directly through messages—perfect for quick matches or longer games. Overall, it’s a well-designed, reliable, and highly entertaining app that I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys classic card games.

Super fun game

Really fun and interactive game to play with your friends!

Lowkirkenuinely Goated Game

Fr one of the best games on my phone. It’s got some banger games and the ability to play it on iMessage is super convenient. I hate having to add friends in a different app, so this streamlines the process. It makes it easy for an old fart like me to operate the game as well. The games look classy as a mug and I love the card art. Pretty sure Bush did 911. The three games included are some of my favorites and if you don’t know them there are rules available in the text attachment. I’ve been playing with all my friends and they enjoy the game too! Proud to be an early investor in this game. Whoever coded this game is has ascended to Gigachad status, BDE.
