### 2/5 — looks awful

*2026-07-07, version 18.42*

this game is hard to play because it looks and plays like its 1990 again

### 3/5 — Best crib app out there

*2026-06-08, version 18.40*

I’ve only been playing it for a week but it beats all the others I’ve tried over the years. Bit of a learning curve but once mastered it’s very easy. The free app is great but I paid to support the design team. Great job!

### 4/5 — Questionable algorithm for cut card

*2026-06-06, version 18.40*

I've played this game many many times and it's designed is solid compared to other cribbage games.  The only issue is when playing the bot the cut card almost always helps the bot.  Way more than playing another player.

### 5/5 — I enjoy the app!

*2026-05-07, version 18.39*

You’ve done a great job keeping up with all the updates - thx!

### 3/5 — Better as a friend game.

*2026-04-24, version 18.39*

Always play against a live opponent, play the AI if you like watching someone always having the correct card and high scores, As a AI this game wins more than any other cribbage game I have ever played.  I have also noticed that whoever wins the initial cut will win the first game.  
As an online game it is excellent, as an AI game it is more frustrating.  If I could be as “lucky” getting the right cards at the right time as this game I would live in Vegas.  However, do not skunk the game or you will lose almost every game until it skunks you in AI play.  I have had this happen multiple times over the past few months with too much consistency.  I have updated the Rate because overall it is one of the better games, it just does not like to lose.

### 3/5 — Numerous updates

*2026-04-21, version 18.39*

I enjoy this game but is wondering what’s up with all of the updates?  Seems like couple times a month

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-04-19, version 18.38*

I have been looking for someone to play with since my brother and mother have both passed away. I am a very fast player and most of the people I play with get annoyed with me so I just have no opponent. Now I do. I love this App and am so happy it’s available. Give it a shot if your a cribbage fan like me, you will love it so.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2026-04-16, version 18.37*

Any problems are noted and fixed making this my daily go to for competitive games and relaxation.

### 3/5 — Rescoring

*2026-04-16, version 18.37*

I don’t think my score on the leaderboard is correct. I’ve been playing awhile  and my status icon shows I’m a dynamite but my leaderboard score groups me way less…. Almost like I’m missing game points - Paradise

### 3/5 — Cribbage

*2026-04-14, version 18.35*

I have more questions about the game. I had to take a pee break, and three minutes went by, and I lost the game!?!? The tutorial is not informative enough. I have to give it a three for now. Sorry
The last game I played dh and two of the three games glitch.
Fun game though.

### 5/5 — AI bot cheats

*2026-04-11, version 18.35*

It’s a great game with no ads and it works flawlessly. The only problem I have with it is whenever I play the AI bot. He always seems to get the return card that makes his hand phenomenal.

### 4/5 — AveryE’s review

*2026-04-11, version 18.35*

This game is awesome I love that I can play with my family and friends and by my self! If you do play this game make sure you know how to play there are tutorials but don’t help much. This game is fun and free! (BTW I’m not like the dumb adds)

### 5/5 — Solo cribbage

*2026-04-02, version 18.29*

Good game to play alone, better than the alternatives.
The only one I’ve found in which one can play against another person - which I haven’t tried, yet.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — One sided!

*2026-07-22, version 18.42*

Always seems to be one sided!  Been playing the game for a while now and sometimes you will get a hand you can work with but the majority of the time you just get a hand that’s totally rubbish and have to use all your skill just to grab a few points. America and Canada always seem to turn high scoring hands over on a regular basis. You can only play with what you got so perhaps the AI generated dealing is a bit more generous if you live in those countries.

### 1/5 — Unrealistic

*2026-07-22, version 18.42*

Hands are too high scoring. AI bot rarely scores below 12

### 1/5 — Strange rules

*2026-07-21, version 18.42*

The turn time is so low and they kick you out for multiple days if you go over your time in two games.

### 1/5 — Game

*2026-05-07, version 18.39*

Not life like.   Swayed very strong to one contestant.  Cards don’t fall like that in real life.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-04-30, version 18.39*

Game cheats

### 1/5 — Changes not for the better….

*2026-04-30, version 18.39*

The recent update (last week-ish) was detrimental to this app.  “Taking too long” is a new villain, which appears within 10 seconds, and often.  I get very few games now, and it takes a while to successfully connect to one.  I’d love it to roll back to the last version - I’ve lost one of my favorite games….  😕

### 1/5 — Good but maybe bad

*2026-04-14, version 18.35*

This game has been great for me to dust off my skills after a 40yr break and I’ve also improved as a player. As far as all the comments about the AI Bot cheating I’m kind of on the fence. I have a math degree, I understand statistics and cognitive biases, i’m also a former software engineer.  So many people are reporting consistently ridiculous hands being dealt to the AI bot. I’m really wondering how the cards are dealt randomly. I would love to see that snippet of code if possible. Either way great app, I play the bot to sharpen my skills and use it to play with friends.

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2026-03-28, version 18.29*

### 1/5 — Upgrade Disappointing

*2026-02-26, version 18.14*

I paid for the no ad upgrade,but apparently because I wasn’t signed in, it took my money as a guest and now I sign in, it acts like I need to upgrade again.  Please resolve this.

### 1/5 — Like playing with Grandma

*2026-02-26, version 18.14*

But…. The app is rigged… Too many reviews reveal the unfair algorithm. How can I am Bad stay on top for months? I guess that is you Colin?

Random 100%  ????? Really? Not the truth!

Awesome

### 5/5 — awesome online cribbage

*2026-08-14, version 18.44*

I have played a lot of online crib games. This one has to be far by far the best easy to play easy to navigate and lots of fun. What’s the funniest is my girlfriend will send me an online game request first thing in the morning she’s about this game,

### 5/5 — Fun!

Great game! My mom and I live in different states so this is the best way to stay in touch and play some Crib together!

### 5/5 — Fun & practical

*2026-07-16, version 18.42*

### 5/5 — I enjoy the app!

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-06-06, version 18.40*

I play weekly with my nephew who lives out of town.  It is a great way to connect, play on the app but have FT running on another device.  We have been doing it for years I look forward to our weekly game!

### 5/5 — Love that game

*2026-05-25, version 18.39*

Love challenge the 4 that game

### 5/5 — Help please

*2026-05-13, version 18.39*

Hi Colin, I just got a new IPad and it wiped out my account, I hap my first account when apparently Apple kicked me out a long time ago. I would be happy to pay the fee but I can’t get back to that either! Love the game but it’s getting frustrating here!
