However, my enjoyment of the gameplay is marred by the fact that I'm pretty certain that the games aren't genuinely random. Long use has convinced me that the games are skewed so that the "computer" wins disproportionately to redress the balance. I would prefer to take my chance with a random app rather than feeling the "redress" mechanism kick in every so often. I would urge the developer of this otherwise great app to remove this bias and allow us to genuinely take our chances. ### 3/5 — take away concede button *2026-08-17, version 1.34* I love this app, however, every time I play backgammon on multiplayer and it looks like I will win, the other player concedes. It is really annoying and I think you should take the ability to concede away. Or if a player concedes they should not still have the mark that shows they’ve played 3 full games in a row. ### 3/5 — Cheating *2026-08-16, version 1.34* It’s ok, but the computer cheats. ### 2/5 — Wont open frequently *2026-08-13, version 1.34* All of a sudden recently when I open the game it shows an all white screen and the games screen wont open. It isn't for ads, it just wont open. Not gonna take much for me to delete the app if it doesn't get fixed ### 3/5 — Good but… *2026-08-12, version 1.34* It’s a fun app, learned a lot of new games but beware the Backgammon. It cheats, and it’s not ashamed of it. ### 3/5 — back button *2026-08-04, version 1.34* like this game, but, a back button would make it great… I was just playing and got a GIN… went to tap it and hit a card, accidentally, which the game drew from my deck instead of getting the win… a back button, at that point, would have made this game excellent ### 3/5 — Decent but…. *2026-07-21, version 1.34* I do like it for a few games mainly Euchre, but they programmed it in a way that your partner doesn’t know when to call trump and when not to. I’ve played thousands of games of Euchre and never once played a game where every single hand all bowers and all aces were 100% dealt. ### 4/5 — Variety of games. Problem with cheating on solitaire of the day competitions. *2026-07-02, version 1.34* The app itself is great. I’ve played this for years and learned tons of new games on it. It’s very stable, user friendly, no frills, no annoying ads, and it’s truly free!! My one complaint is the new solitaire of the day competition is full of bots and people with cheat codes. For example, today’s game is traditional solitaire draw 3. The top 10 leaderboard is all people who finished the game with only 52 moves, which is the exact number of cards in the deck. This is impossible when the turn cards and front draw cards have no aces. Very annoying and the developer needs to address it! ### 3/5 — Subtly unfair *2026-07-01, version 1.34* When playing Canasta the opponents receive an extra card in return for a red three. I can’t figure out if there’s a reason for this and don’t see any explanation in the rules. Perhaps I am just “unlucky” but it also seems that I am frequently dealt low value cards making it more difficult to make the minimum meld value. ### 3/5 — Low win rate *2026-07-01, version 1.34* There needs to be more review for the games as there are low win probabilities compared to other card game apps. Solitaire’s deck randomization makes only for 10-20% win rate ### 4/5 — Fun - small bug *2026-06-28, version 1.34* Won’t let you create a private table sometimes randomly and then re works after a bunch of try’s like 10 minutes later ### 3/5 — Review *2026-06-15, version 1.34* I love this card game but I’m luck games, the bot wins every time, I’m not even kidding. I love chess though ### 3/5 — Great game but the Computers need work. *2026-06-15, version 1.34* Love being able to have all these games, and they’re fun to play, but the computers you play against are unbearable when it comes to the dice games. Backgammon and Farkle specifically are the ones that come to mind. I just finished a game of Farkle where the computer didn’t Farkle a single time, and beat me by getting over 10,000 points before I had even gotten to 1,000. It went on a roll of 5 dice rerolls and scored over 4,000 points in a single turn. I had rolled twice. Before the computer beat me. 11,000 points to 700. It’s just unfair and unrealistic, not to mention infuriating. If the coding for the computers was improved to give the chance of the dice to be more realistic, then I would have no qualms with this app. ### 4/5 — Great, with a little reservation *2026-06-06, version 1.34* Marvellous choice of games. Mostly seeming normal - meaning like human. But there seems to be something devious in the algorithm in some of these games. It’s well disguised, but there a consistencies that give it away. Please acknowledge if true…. ### 4/5 — Good game but something is broken *2026-05-28, version 1.34* I really like this game and all the bots are actually really good compared other card games, the only thing is that its started give me a white screen when I open the app and I can’t play anything. It used be a white screen for a couple seconds and then load the game but now it won’t load at all. ### 1/5 — Mathematically rigged. *2026-05-25, version 1.34* I lost 16 games of War in a row…started counting past 4. You know what the odds are of losing 16 straight war games? 1 in 65,536…or 0.0015% chance. The game is obviously rigged. Weird that they rigged a single player offline card game with no virtual currency…for what? To keep players coming back to try and win? Also in spades the CPU gets their trick bid right every single round. If you want a true random card game that’s fun. This ain’t it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cheating is too kind a word *2026-08-16, version 1.34* I initially rated this app as four stars cause it was fun but the game cheats on Backgammon. Out of curiosity I tracked several games and the statistical advantage for the game is mind boggling. I have played many a cheating game before but this is beyond ridiculous. They really need to adjust the programming on that. Even allowing the game to cheat just a little would be considered an improvement. It’s no longer fun, I’ve deleted it. There is better out there. ### 1/5 — Very Rigged *2026-08-12, version 1.34* It locks in moves for you wether you like it or not so AI can beat you unfairly ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible fairness *2026-07-19, version 1.34* Some of these types of games are just programmed so poorly as to be unplayable. I’ve played thousands and thousands of games of Gin Rummy, and this app will just blitz me nearly every time. That’s not cards… that’s just bad code. ### 1/5 — Tiniest Cards Ever *2026-07-18, version 1.34* Good game choice but why are the cards so incredibly tiny? Can’t even tell what they are. Too bad. ### 1/5 — garbage *2026-07-13, version 1.34* not fun when every bot game is super intelligence level difficulty. lazy production by developers. there should be a difficulty option for those, like me, that play to de-stress ### 1/5 — Sorry, game *2026-07-01, version 1.34* Bill is supposed to help you learn to play always helps the other team you almost lose every time because of him Bill is the worst!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Sorry, game *2026-06-11, version 1.34* Bill is supposed to help you learn to play always helps the other team you almost lose every time because of him Bill is the worst ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-06-07, version 1.34* Ads meant to fit to the banner instead covers the entire screen making the games unplayable. ### 1/5 — Trash update *2026-05-29, version 1.34* Whatever update was made to the app the games are now impossible. ### 1/5 — Why *2026-05-26, version 1.34* Why would someone so obviously fix a game with no money involved? 6 straight games of war is just outrageous. The chances have to be very low of that happening ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Started fun, but then *2026-08-04, version 1.34* The games started out great. Backgammon is now impossible because your “opponent” magically rolls the correct numbers every time to knock you out. If you knock them out, they will roll the perfect double to jump in and run the board. I’m deleting the game bc it’s gotten so ridiculous. ### 5/5 — iPad update *2026-07-23, version 1.34* Since my iPad updated, the size of the game changed. It’s real small and hard to see. ### 5/5 — PLS ADD SCREW UR NEIGHBOR! *2026-07-18, version 1.34* i’m in love with the concept of multiple card games in one app AD FREE!! you’re awesome! what would be even cooler is if you could pls add the game screw your neighbor. i play it with my grandparents, and it would be a delightful addition to your app. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-05-25, version 1.34* Simple, fun, not trying to squeeze every bit of ad money or information out of users. This is how online games should be… would be if greed wasn’t part of creation. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Can you please add connect4 *2026-05-22, version 1.34* Please add connect 4!!! ### 5/5 — No ad *2026-05-22, version 1.34* I love all the choices and it’s not a bunch of ads. I play this everyday ### 5/5 — 10/10 - a perfect app *2026-05-11, version 1.34* Probably the best app on here in terms of games. Easy to use, great selection and very minimal ads. Exactly what all apps should be. Layout is also clean and easy to navigate ### 5/5 — Briacaso *2026-05-08, version 1.34* Would be great if you could add brisca since you already programmed the Spanish playing cards ### 5/5 — MAKE SPIT MULTIPLAYER *2026-05-03, version 1.34* pls make spit multiplayer i want to play with my friends and siblings ### 5/5 — the perfect game *2026-05-01, version 1.34* I play this daily I LOVE card games but I never had any way to play with anyone until I found this app !! the lack of ads makes it even better too, and the rules of each game are explained really well i’ve learned how to play almost every game just from them, I love this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
