Beyond mathematical odds
As an experienced real cards/cribbage board player I gave to express my dismay at the totally mathematical improbability of the poor hands I am dealt playing your online game. It’s to the point of being ludicrous.
History only good thing
Update: Resume games not working, history now crashes the app. Looks like he's abandoned the app... no support. Shame, it could be a good app...Stay away unless/until he commits to a huge fix.
It is extremely weighted toward huge hands. Played 100 games to get a feel for it, continually generates outrageous runs and cuts into double runs far to many times. I've been playing competitive cribbage over 40 years and can tell you this is NOT realistic cribbage. Fix this aspect of it and this will be a very good simulation, until then if you enjoy 12-16 hands on a continuous basis, this is for you.
Follow Up: Played the Easy opponent for 10 games, skunked it 9 times. Received ridiculous hands and cuts similar to what the "Hard" AI was getting against me. In short the AI is horrid. Want my money back and will only get this app again IF they change this horrid, weighted AI in the future to ALL random cards. Give me a break. Have yet to see a decent AI in any of the cribbage apps, do like the history in this one and that's it!

Not so good.
I have been playing for a long time and I am frustrated. Rarely get a cut while brainy gets 10-24 count hands much of the time. Also don't put good cards in crib as you will be burned almost every time!
Good App to learn Cribbage
This app has been fun and was very helpful to learn cribbage. However, as I got better I see that it is far from fair. I agree with earlier reviewer that the cards are often stacked against the player. Unbelievable successive hands were had continuously by the computer. I suggest that it uses a true random generator to pick remaining cards from a single deck.

Willy's review
It is a great game and it makes it easy to score.
