### 5/5 — Flexible play, minimal adds

*2024-12-07*

Absolutely love this game! You have the ability to customize the rules you play by, how ads are displayed (they’re minimal), and various other features. I would recommend this card game as well as others made by the same creator.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2024-09-30*

Used to enjoy playing this at lunch with my co-workers. It’s great to find on line and I have added it to my other on-line card games by the same company!  Thanks for the memories!

### 4/5 — Best nom whist game

*2024-09-23*

But it crashes once a week so you have to delete and reinstall.

### 5/5 — Good game, very relaxing, except when I win with a 2

*2024-06-23, version 4.3.1*

Love it.  It’s my go to game

### 5/5 — Best game ever 🤩

*2024-06-01, version 4.1.7*

I love to play contract whist with my family and friends but that don’t always want to play. So to find an app that has the game I love playing just a tap away is truly amazing. The wide variety in settings means it’s super easy to adjust the game in any way. The world needs more contract whist and I’m so glad that Mother Earth provided us with oh hell. 
Lots of love Pretrisher

### 4/5 — Nice time killer

*2024-02-16*

Lots of fun, realistic card strategy that can be played at three different levels. Highly recommended

### 4/5 — No volume after 17.4 update

*2024-01-26, version 3.17.4*

Great game, but no sound after updating to iOS 17.4. ( developer update)

### 5/5 — Accurate and fun

*2023-11-16, version 3.17.1*

A very good on-line version of a game we love.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-10-07, version 3.16.3*

Just like playing at the cottage or camping.  Great game easy to play Love it!

### 4/5 — Great Fun

*2022-06-23*

Surprising and challenging! Can be customized for harder levels! Your opponents are generally dirty rotten scondrels!
I would like to have an option to UNDO a play and choose another card. It would give an edge against the low down stinking rastards that thwart my brilliant plans!!

### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2022-06-10, version 3.11.3*

I like keeping my skills sharp for when I play with friends.

### 5/5 — Brings back memories!

*2022-05-10*

Use to play a version of this game called: 10,9,8.  Spent hours playing this with my friends. Spent quite a few hours playing this game on my phone. Great game, thanks 😄

### 5/5 — OhHell oh yes

*2021-10-13, version 3.8.0*

I love oh hell, my favourite family card game and this is a very playable version which satisfies.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2021-07-19, version 3.7.3*

NO ADDs and FREE😀😀😀😀😀

### 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

### 1/5 — Nope

*2020-05-06, version 2.3*

It started off okay, but then the adverts covered the icon to play the next hand.  Gone.

### 2/5 — Love it!

*2024-09-01*

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 He’ll”!

### 3/5 — Was better but now interrupted by music mid game despite being on mute

*2023-03-29, version 3.14.1*

Other than that , it is fine.

### 3/5 — Contract Whist (Oh Hell)

*2020-03-02, version 2.2.1*

This is a fun and addictive game. Unfortunately it occasionally freezes and has to be restarted

### 3/5 — Incorrect rules

*2019-12-01*

Two problems with the rules that make it less interesting:
1. Total bids from all players can’t be equal to the number of tricks available, which is the source of the name of the game (e.g., last bidder in a 4-card hand wants to bid 1, but the total of the other three bidders is 3–“Oh he’ll!)
2. Players who win fewer tricks than their bid get ZERO points! Other scoring correct (10 point bonus for equally bid, number of tricks for exceeding bid).

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review asherspapa!

Addressing your rule points:
1. There is a 'screw the dealer' setting in the settings menu that does exactly that. It's an option because not everyone plays that way.
2. I will add a setting for not making your bid worth 0 points as a few people have asked, will be in the next update!

### 3/5 — could use improvements but fun

*2019-03-23*

Wish the screen would rotate Landscape so you could see all players when bid board comes up. Also score pops up immediately after last trick played so you can’t see final bids/tricks taken....which to me is extremely annoying. Not enough explanation about game, how deal plays out with reduced cards, etc for beginners. No undo if you accidentally tap screen and/or play wrong card....which should be available as a setting as....undo on/off...especially for beginners!

### 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

### 4/5 — Best nom whist game

*2024-10-18, version 4.5.12*

But it crashes once a week so you have to delete and reinstall.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Pretty Good…so far

*2025-02-26*

This is pretty decent although playing against the computers isn’t always played as I would think it should. Makes me think my strategy.

### 5/5 — Super jeu

*2025-01-06*

J’adore jouer à ce jeu tout simple. Les niveaux de difficulté sont complets. Tout est bien.

Idée d’amélioration (optionnelle) :
- garder des statistiques (nombre de victoires)

### 5/5 — Very enjoyable!

*2025-01-04*

I like the straightforward game play and recommend this app.  

I wish there was a better way to see how the scoring is tabulated so I can learn what bets are most rewarded.
