### 4/5 — There’s a typo

*2026-03-22*

There’s a typo in the discard odds tab it says makikng instead of making

### 1/5 — Just installed

*2025-08-10*

I just installed this app and it’s already begging for a review so here it is…

### 2/5 — Completely inaccurate

*2025-04-28*

Good concept but everything is just completely wrong I’ve only played about 15 hours and I could put more accurate information together than this app.

**Developer response:** what is wrong? Everything should be 100% correct

### 4/5 — Jokers

*2025-03-31*

I love this app but the only thing is you need to fix the jokers
🙂👍

### 2/5 — Bug needs to be fixed

*2025-03-21*

Joker card artwork doesn’t match with name and details. For example - the joker card displayed is Gros Michel but the actual details are all for Stone Joker. Makes the app a disappointing and rather frustrating experience. 

This app has a lot of potential but i find it unusable in its current state.

### 4/5 — Really good, but one major bug

*2025-02-21*

Love the app, but the artworks on the joker page, don’t match the card. For example, showman has the artwork for splash and Merry Andy has the artwork for stuntman

**Developer response:** Ill look into that, thanks for letting me know

Also thanks for the good review. I have a lot of updates im excited about

### 5/5 — Excellent app with great potential

*2025-02-05*

This app was the exactly the kind of thing I was looking for in a Balatro companion app. I really enjoy having descriptions of Jokers at my fingertips, and though I haven’t taken full advantage of it, I’m sure the discard odds are extremely helpful. But some things I’d like to see in the future are descriptions and unlock requirements of the various decks, along with being able to select what deck you’re using in the discard odds section. Also, it would be nice to see the joker images match up with their names. All in all a great app, and one I’m eager to follow in its development.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

Working hard on new features and better UI right now

### 1/5 — Inaccurate info

*2025-01-23*

This app is telling me that a Level 3 flush should be worth 45 chips x 6. However, in the Balatro iOS app, the rating for a level 3 flush is actually 65 chips x 8.

I wish this app would let you calculate the math with the jokers, and also let you apply bonuses to cards.  guess I will just have to do the math myself :-)

I haven’t yet tried the calculation of odds feature; I suspect that’s probably the most useful thing here.

**Developer response:** 45 x 6 is the bonus from Jupiter not the entire score. The entire score is at the top and is correct. I will update the UI to make this more clear.

As for math with jokers and bonuses, I am working on that. The app is in early access right now and all features are not in yet. Each joker has to be coded individually and its very time consuming, they are however coming
