### 5/5 — Problem with game

*2024-06-02*

Constantly redirecting to outside spam.

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-04-27*

This is a very good Crazy 8 apps to play. Thanks to the developer!!

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2023-04-04*

Good game and very quick to play. I love that I wasn't bombarded with ads. I don't like that you are forced to play an 8 if you don't have another card. Other games like this will allow you to pass instead of having to pay the 8.

### 5/5 — Very Fun

*2022-12-03*

Great game

### 3/5 — Preferences are not kept

*2022-11-30*

Good game, but I don’t want any sounds. Unfortunately every time I quit out of the game it turns the sounds back on

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2022-10-12*

I love this version but after playing a few hands, the game hangs up and won’t reset. I have to delete the app and then download it again in order to play.

### 5/5 — so much fun

*2022-07-10*

thanks

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-06-18*

Very entertaining, just when you think you’re going to win or lose, you’ll be surprised 😉

### 5/5 — Well designed almost too much so

*2020-09-07*

Nice design. Good game play also includes a variation called Mau Mau. You cannot make a mistake, it is so automated that you don’t even need to be there. That’s my only problem, why play if you can’t make all the decisions (perfect for children I suppose)?

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-04-14*

Love this game I started out playing with my daughter and granddaughter and got hooked so now I play online by myself and with them
