### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-08-03*

Simple design and love the fact that there is not a lot of silly adds between games. Recommended for sure.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-07-07*

I’ve been invited to play up and down the river with some friends soon so I wanted to learn how to play. This is perfect for it.

### 5/5 — Love it! But.  .  .

*2026-07-01*

I learned this game many years ago. Glad to have this version that allows lots of options. I think choosing the nil bid and screw the dealer makes you often say “Oh Hell!” But there is now a bug in the game. Sometimes you click on a card and nothing happens. Hope you can find this and fix it.

### 5/5 — Wish

*2026-05-25*

I don’t know where to look to see who leads before bidding

### 4/5 — Sorry, wrong app

*2026-04-17, version 5.0.11*

My fault

### 4/5 — Score

*2026-02-01, version 4.7.10*

Number of tricks should be squared when hand his successful

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2025-08-12, version 4.7.10*

Enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Lots of options

*2025-04-15*

I like the ability to change the options for playing.  My only complaint is the app does not always play as well as I think it should.

### 1/5 — Game cheats!

*2025-04-11, version 4.7.7*

Love this game. Play it for hours when I have the chance, however the game does cheat. For instance it will lay a card not in keeping with the suit, only to lay that suit later in the hand and therefore cheating

### 5/5 — Review A+++

*2025-03-08*

Great game.  Would love a version where i can play live opponents and friends. But everyhing else is perfect. Good graphics.
