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. ### 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 ### 4/5 — Fast no crash *2020-02-15* Very good ### 3/5 — Preferences *2019-08-23* Sometimes the preferences reset to default. I have the sound off (music and effects) and no card limit set. Sometimes at random the music will come back on and the default is set back to 3 card limit. ### 4/5 — Crazy Eights *2018-11-12, version 2.5.0* I have enjoyed playing this game. Recently, when the game ends, the game does not return to a new game. Please fix! This game has still not been fixed. Whenever I win the game and a new game starts, there are no cards for me...just cards for the other three players. Therefore, I am unable to continue playing the game. I have to turn off the iPad and turn it back on to start a new game. Please fix!! When will you fix this? This is my third time writing. 11/1/18 Game is still broke. 4th time writing. 11/3/18. Game broke. 5th time writing. 11/6/18. Please fix. 11/8/18 crashed again. 11/9/18. Still crashing! When will you correct this flaw? 11/11/18 Whenever I win, the new game gives me no cards. Please fix!! ### 4/5 — ... *2018-08-24* It’s good I just can never win! ### 4/5 — Good so far *2018-07-24* It’s a good app. ### 2/5 — Seems ok, but... *2018-05-28* Could be fun, but a few problems I see. —I think I saw an eight be the first card to start a game, I’m new to Crazy Eights, but I don’t think that’s suppose to happen. —When an eight is put down, the new suit, or color in this game, is shown and goes away so fast I can’t see it, it would be nice if the new color was displayed somewhere, at least until the next card is played. —I can’t tell any difference between 6’s and 9’s in the play pile. If you fix these things, I think it’ll improve the app. ### 2/5 — Ok *2018-01-09* It was OK anyone could beat you if we had a game competition ### 2/5 — Crazy 8's *2017-01-15* You ruined your game. I agree with the first review. ### 3/5 — Crazy 8s *2016-12-24, version 2.0.0* If it was faster, I would've given it five stars. I love the new game except for the speed. But I do enjoy all the new colors they came in with the update. ### 2/5 — The update ruined it! *2016-12-21* It used to be a very fun game, simple and quick, but since the last update, it became sooooo slooow it's not playable anymore. Too bad it's impossible to "unupdate"! ### 5/5 — Terrible *2016-12-07, version 2.0.0* Terribly slow and won't stay on draw I choose. I'm looking for another game ### 4/5 — Update is slower *2016-12-04, version 2.0.0* I like the game. Play it every once and awhile to pass the time. The older version was really fast. The new update seems to lag a bit. The new colors are really nice though. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Pas jouable *2019-06-29* Sérieux, c’est ridicule. Pas moyen de gagner à ce jeu. ### 1/5 — Freezing game *2019-02-17* Keeps freezing as soon as you win. Would be a fun game to play if it didn’t freeze so much. Have to delete the entire game in order to play again. ### 1/5 — Still not working properly *2018-11-09* The app was recently updated, and yet whenever you win a game it doesn’t reset for you to deal. Seriously considering uninstalling it. What the hell was the point of updating? ### 1/5 — Hate it *2016-12-24* Since the last update this game absolutely sucks , wouldn't recommend ### 1/5 — Crazy 8s *2016-12-07, version 2.0.0* I played the older version thousands of times. I loved it just the way it was. The new version is so slow that I cannot stand playing it. It is so painful to wait for the cards to turn. I don't care how many cards the other players have to get. Don't show that. Also, when you are drawing cards the backs are light blue. This gives the player the impression they will be getting A blue card. Confusing. Can I download the older version? Otherwise, I won't be playing this game ever again. ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2016-12-04, version 2.0.0* I hate this new edition. The game is now so slow and there is no way to adjust speed in the settings. I played two hands and had to quit. I guess I'll be deleting this game. I wish they had left it alone. ### 1/5 — Crap *2015-12-08* Crappy game!! ### 1/5 — Stupid *2013-08-31, version 1.0.5* Way too easy and its more like uno than crazy eights. (Deleted) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2013-05-29, version 1.0.5* Each hand has a predetermined winner and nothing you do will change who wins. Tested several times with hands I was predetermined to win by drawing every time despite having cards I could play and the games would've lasted forever if I hadn't gotten bored with them and ended them after a while. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 5/5 — Very Fun *2022-12-03* Great game ### 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 ### 5/5 — Fast and Furios *2020-04-10* I love how quickly each game plays. ### 5/5 — New favourite game *2020-03-29* I agree with 2 review you should be proud of this game but just curious am I playing with robots or online players? ### 5/5 — Better than the official Uno app *2017-02-23* This is what I was looking for. Awesome coding work as well as game design. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
