But this app allows the player known as "impossible" to cheat like hell. In the real world you're not getting 12's, 14's & 16s hand after hand - while I’m getting 4 and zeros in my crib. Also I noticed his hands always come up with just the right card to double up and triple up. Also, very common that the computer gets a fantastic hand and crib coming into the first corner. And then again on the last corner heading to the home stretch. Other than that it's just like playing real cribbage lol ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-07-20, version 3.17.5* Very handy to pass the time when no internet. On the down side sometimes the shuffling doesn’t seem completely random… ### 5/5 — Timeless *2026-07-16, version 3.17.5* Fun and stimulating ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-07-15, version 3.17.5* Easy to use and challenging even to a player with 50 years experience ### 5/5 — Slinky *2026-07-14, version 3.17.5* Easy to play, very much like live play. Simple, yet fun and relaxing. ### 5/5 — Best game out there *2026-07-14, version 3.17.5* I played many games and deleted them shortly after I downloaded them because there’s a commercial an ad after they say no ads after every and every deal every move there’s an at this game. They don’t torment you like that. You get to enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Long time cribbage player *2026-07-11, version 3.17.5* I like the simplicity and ease of play this app provides 👍🏻 ### 3/5 — It’s great but…unfair *2026-07-09, version 3.17.5* The game is great. Gameplay graphics are fantastic. Sound is fine, but it does randomly not work on many occasions when playing online. Online gaming works well otherwise. My biggest complaint: these hands do not feel randomly generated. Way way, way too many giant hands. I’ve been playing cribbage 50 years, I’ve seen more 20 point plus hands in this game than I have ever seen in my life and while I appreciate the game when you’re not just inching along, it doesn’t feel real. The game is great. But the hands feel pre-selected, not dealt, and that ruins the effect. Also, weird that when playing online, the person that issues the request to play the game is at a distinct disadvantage. In our almost 1000 games played, the person inviting the other only wins about 30% of the time. Even with old pros like us that almost always make the right pick (100% as rated by your app). This really needs to be fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Très loin des statistiques , jeu de mauvais goût *2026-08-21, version 3.17.5* Truqué ### 1/5 — So many better options out there *2026-08-21, version 3.17.5* Don’t waste your time with this one there are soooo many better options ### 1/5 — Disappointment *2026-08-13, version 3.17.5* It is crazy how every cut benefits my opponent. Round after round after round. Game after game after game. I wish I could add pictures to this review. I screenshot an entire game where I lost by 40. Every cut but one helped my opponent to double digits. Total garbage. ### 1/5 — Card shuffle *2026-08-10, version 3.17.5* The software designer used set hands that are already in storage there is no random card dealing no random shuffle, it does suck use real cards. ### 1/5 — Not worth playing *2026-08-09, version 3.17.5* All computer and no skill always lose to the higher player ### 1/5 — Cheating *2026-08-05, version 3.17.5* In the category (impossible ) I never seen anything like that. Always match your cards the minute you’re ahead he pulled a 16 or more score and if you get to the last bend before the computer sure enough you have 2 points or less and all of this is a constant . If you’re patient he lets you win 1 or 2 games and restart the same gimmick. ### 1/5 — Not worth playing *2026-07-30, version 3.17.5* All computer and no skill ### 1/5 — It decides who wins. *2026-07-25, version 3.17.5* The app acts like a cribbage game, but is not random. Multiple people I know have lost 14 or 15 games in a row. Not possible unless the app is choosing who wins. Don’t trust the app, it’s the most non-random app I’ve ever used. ### 1/5 — Fake garbage *2026-07-14, version 3.17.5* Pay attention to how broken this game is. Both hands dealt almost always have the same cards making it completely unrealistic and takes all the fun out of playing the game. Fake garbage app. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-06-28, version 3.17.5* There is a lot of problems with your game. I start the game and finishes maybe two moves and then shuts down cannot get back into it. It’s been doing this for a long time. I’m going to get off your network I can’t stand it anymore. I’m a 60 year long cribbage player and have never had such a bad game. Nice knowing you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top App *2026-08-20, version 3.17.5* Excellent bot play and challenging levels. Play similar levelled strangers and rise and fall in the leagues. Chat function is the only weak part of the app ### 5/5 — Fun!! *2026-08-17, version 3.17.5* I’ve been playing cribbage since childhood and have always loved the game. I now live alone and have been playing a solo game on my phone for years than I discovered this app. It’s very fun - almost as good as playing in person. ### 5/5 — Sometimes People are Mean *2026-08-10, version 3.17.5* The chat feature is not necessary and sometimes 13 year olds bully me. ### 5/5 — Cribbage *2026-08-10, version 3.17.5* I enjoy this app and the game. ### 5/5 — 1000s of games played *2026-08-08, version 3.17.5* This and Nertz from this developer are my go to card games. Love everything about it. ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2026-08-05, version 3.17.5* This is so fun to play when a conventional game cannot be played. ### 5/5 — Fun, Fast, Accurate *2026-08-01, version 3.17.5* I play this when I have a few minutes to kill. Very fun. Never seen an error in 100s of plays. ### 5/5 — Fun to play *2026-07-30, version 3.17.5* This game is fun fun to play on your own as well as with someone across the country. ### 5/5 — The BEST Cribbage app!! *2026-07-26, version 3.17.5* One of the best card game apps ever. This game is very realistic, with great graphics and realistic play flow. Good choice of levels for all experience and skill levels. Online play is also excellent—-just turn off chat and play away! Stellar! ### 5/5 — 3 zillion *2026-07-22, version 3.17.5* I just wanted to say thanks for the ratings prompt that suggested I have played this game 3 zillion times. It was a hilarious surprise! Why can’t other game creators be this witty? And for your information, it’s only 2 zillion. 😄 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
