### 3/5 — The computer lets you win

*2026-08-09, version 2.0.0*

The computer goes out of its way to let you win.  It’s actually pretty annoying that there is no skill involved in such a fun game. 1/5

The incessant popups begging me to change my themes are ruining this fun game. 

I’m requesting that Apple removes this from the Apple Arcade.

### 4/5 — I like this game but…

*2026-07-11, version 2.0.0*

I don’t understand the purpose of the newly added feature of “reactions”since the opponents are programmed players. It feels like a waste of time if I’m not reacting  to and getting reactions from actual humans.

### 3/5 — Too Controlling to Play Right

*2026-06-08, version 2.0.0*

I enjoy this game. But, at least with playing with the AI so far, I’ve noticed that if you have the right card to continue play, it forces you to play right. A game shouldn’t prevent you from making mistakes. If I do a misplay and it costs me a hundred points, let me suffer the consequences. I feel it’s too controlling by not allowing you to draw instead of play or forcing you to play all copies of a card at once.

### 4/5 — Not attractive to me: please read (all and developers)

*2026-05-17, version 2.0.0*

This is a deserving five star app that keeps me interested ‘day and night’ but you need to please tell me how to respond to your opponents like they can respond to me. Like actually respond! For example, I say “thank you” easy. Then they say “your welcome” 😡 how do you do that please notify me personally, advertise ‘the hack’, or just tell me. I’m sorry I can’t rate your game. And how do they get more emoji choices than me? Please give this opportunity to me as well and everyone. Again sorry I could not rate the game five stars. But FIX THOSE BUGS! (To me)

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2026-05-16, version 2.0.0*

I like to play crazy eights because it’s pretty fun. However I want the option to be able to play without the skips, reverses and draw 2. I believe the original rules play the cards by matching rank or suit and the eights are the only special wild cards.

### 4/5 — Fun but…

*2026-05-07, version 2.0.0*

Ok so I have several games from this developer. They are all well made and fun. They eventually all get kind of frustrating because it seems that the increase of difficulty as you move up through the levels is just a series of increasingly unlikely situations. That’s obviously easier to program than actually increasing strategic difficulty and I play regardless but I do find myself wondering how the player before me always seems to have several draw 2 cards while no one else does.

### 3/5 — In-game advertising

*2026-05-06, version 2.0.0*

In-game advertising distracts from gamer play.

### 5/5 — Love the new update!

*2026-04-26, version 2.0.0*

I used to play once a day bc the computer was almost always going to win. Now with the new update, the game is actually fun! It seems much more realistic when I win at least every other game!

### 5/5 — Crazy for Eights!

*2026-04-03, version 1.8.0*

Lots of fun and new special opponents keep it fresh!

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2026-03-28, version 1.8.0*

I like to play crazy eights because it’s pretty fun. However I want the option to be able to play without the skips, reverses and draw 2. I believe the original rules play the cards by matching rank or suit and the eights are the only special wild cards. Then if you can’t play a card you draw from the stock pile until you are able to play a card.

### 4/5 — Fun and relaxing

*2026-03-24*

This is a great game to play. However I want to be able to play the original rules without the skips, reverses, and draw 2s. It feels too much like uno. It could be better to have the option play without these special cards and just play numbers and suits and the 8s being the only special card.

### 2/5 — Not quite there

*2026-03-22, version 1.8.0*

This would be a 5 star review if not for 2 things:
1) the banner add at the bottom
2) the lack of traditional black and red cards,  instead one is only offered rather nasty coloured abominations that actually interfere with the experience

### 5/5 — Crazy 8

*2026-03-13, version 1.8.0*

It is an amazing game

### 5/5 — Awesome 😎

*2026-02-23, version 1.8.0*

I love ❤️ this it is on my level!

### 2/5 — Level Up Flaw

*2026-02-08, version 1.8.0*

How can a card game get harder as you level up when in reality, cards are always, in real life, randomly dealt?  This was fun at first then it got weird.  I kept winning over and over at first.  Then, as I got to a higher level I couldn’t win at all. In the beginning, because I kept winning, I was skeptical.  Also, playing real people would be an amazing upgrade.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-11-28, version 1.8.0*

Cool

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2026-07-28, version 2.0.0*

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2026-03-20, version 1.8.0*

Simply put you are restricted to playing a computer. You cannot invite friends to play.

Getting a two is rare while your AI opponents are throwing them around like they are candy.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2026-03-12, version 1.8.0*

Simply put you are restricted to playing a computer. You cannot invite friends to play.

### 1/5 — AI Balance is Awful

*2025-10-26, version 1.8.0*

The balance was fine till the gold levels.  Then the CPU players just keep coordinating their skips and draws 2s only against you.  They’ll play a blue draw 2 multiple times in the game.  They must have their own secondary deck to draw from.

### 1/5 — Cheats!

*2025-10-24, version 1.8.0*

The AI has been designed to draw whatever is needed at the moment to ensure whatever outcome it needs right then. Further, there are predictable patterns to the cheating, to the degree that I can hold my phone up to someone else and tell them what the next play or draw will be. Should be a great game. It cheats.

### 1/5 — Fun until the AI cheats

*2025-06-06, version 1.8.0*

This game is fun and I enjoyed playing it, but once I got into Gold levels, it was clear it was cheating. The AI players suddenly had skips and reverses over and over to keep me from playing, as I got close to winning they suddenly drew a +2, and when I would have the opening play, I would often have to use the wild to play. The AI will also frequently change the color right before my play to the only color I don’t have. I get the game needs to get a little harder as you progress, but this is just cheating pure and simple.

### 1/5 — Fun but CPU get unlimited color changes/draw 2/skips a game etc

*2025-05-21, version 1.8.0*

It would be more fun but there’s flaws. A) figure out what color CPUs have and I’ve seen them draw 5 straight color changing cards in a row multiple times. Not realistic. B) it’s like they know when I have a draw 2 because they constantly change the colors so I have to play mine, only to have to draw 4 when it gets back to me. Little things like that to make the game more “competitive” but obviously unrealistic is why I’m uninstalling.

### 1/5 — A game about bullying

*2025-05-20, version 1.8.0*

I reviewed this game nearer release on Arcade but after a further few weeks I am unsure why this game was made. The fact that it is against bots is such a mistake since each match is just seeing what malicious way the three bots will gang up on you. Several games have been +2, +2, skip, skip, skip, rotate, rotate, +2, game end. Without me getting a turn to even react. Also do the bots just have a stockpile of colour change cards?? Constantly changing to colours they don’t even have. If you are okay with rigged games then this game is great. If you have a little respect for yourself, don’t play this. Wait for UNO which is releasing on Arcade soon.

### 1/5 — The game is nonsense

*2025-04-24, version 1.4.2*

Once you hit a certain level the computer just games you. No strategy. They have the edge, you lose.

### 1/5 — Horrible Coded

*2025-04-02, version 1.4.2*

Horrible game. The only way they make it harder is the computer starts gaining up on you. Once you get to silver 1 the computer will play 8s to change it back to the color that another computer player with only one card left has made it obvious its the color they need to go it. Game is 0 fun.

### 5/5 — Unicorn!

*2026-07-15, version 2.0.0*

Hi there! Developers please read this message. I want you to give people the option to have avatars that other ‘people’ have. For example Sparkle. Sparkle is a unicorn and of course, I love unicorns. But, since Sparkle is a unicorn, I can’t have a unicorn as an avatar. Please make it an option for you to be able to have saved avatars. Like you could have two avatars, like I have a sword. But I want a unicorn (which ‘someone’ already has) but I also want to keep my sword. Please do that developers!

### 5/5 — COOL!!!!!!!!!

*2026-07-08, version 2.0.0*

I can play crazy 8s on my device?!?!? And I don’t even need a deck of cards? Cool!*





















*P.S: The fact that I don’t need any other players is very cool.
