To many adverts
Despite advertising no adds, it has adds that you can’t easily get out of that Royal Kingdom is the worst, nightmare. So continually delete app and reload when I feel like a game.
Other than that it’s not bad for keeping you hand in so to speak.

“None of the fluff” means lots of ads still
Forced ad at the end of each game, banner ads at the bottom and a ton of pop up’s. It’s like the developer is selling out or something.
Needs Refinement
I love cribbage. I learned to play when I was seven years old, sitting at the kitchen table with my grandparents as they patiently and enthusiastically taught me the rules, strategies, and nuances of the game.
Of all the cribbage apps I’ve tried on iOS, this is one of the best. I’ve downloaded several but I keep coming back to this one. That said, there are a few areas that could use refinement.
The gameplay interface is a little confusing at first, although it becomes much easier once you get used to it. My biggest issue, however, is the AI. I play at the highest difficulty, and it becomes ridiculously predictable. When the AI is losing, it seems like 99 times out of 100 it suddenly gets exactly the hand it needs to catch up or win. The cards may technically be dealt randomly, but the results often don’t feel random.
Hands worth 12 or more points should be relatively uncommon, yet the AI seems to get them with surprising frequency, often more than half the time. The win and loss streaks feel similarly predictable. I’ll win a couple, then lose a couple, almost like clockwork. That also makes tracking streaks feel somewhat pointless.
Overall, this is a very good cribbage app with a ton of potential. With some refinements to the gameplay, interface, and especially the AI, I think it could easily be the best cribbage app available on iOS.

Commercials
They only let you play one game of cribbage and then they go to a commercial and try to get you to download all these games and it takes forever if you say no and half the time you can’t get back into the game
Finally can play w/ fam
I love this app, aside from the usual banners for free version.
It’s easy to use and has helped me finally learn to play for real, so I can hold my own during family visits.
I love the hints!

Brutal is a joke, just like the developers response to every negative feedback!
Just played another game, where brutal did NOT receive any hand less than eight points in its hand, does not include crib, the order was 16, 12, 10, 8, 12, 9, 8, and 10. Not the first time I placed a review about how brutal is bingo cribbage! According to cribbage box.com and other cribbage sights, the math for this to happen is EXTREMELY RARE, less than 1%, but the developers cling to that idiotic statement, “clear and empirical evidence “ they don’t tell you their audit is a self audit, how convenient! And the average person wouldn’t know how to read code, again, how convenient! Brutal is a joke, HUNDREDS OF REVIEWS agree!!!!!! Developers are clueless clowns!

Cool!
This App is a lot of fun and it’s educational as well!!
Frequent disconnects in app
I love this game on my Mac but I’m on the latest iOS on my iPhone and this app keeps disconnecting when I’m in a game and will not reconnect
Cheats
A simply astounding number of 12 to 24 point hands and cribs across multiple, multiple games. Never ever anything seen in actual random game play. I will certainly not be paying for this app. The developer may claim otherwise, but this is not a random experience. In “Brutal” mode the only thing in the AI’s favor is a rigged deck. I consistently make the best discard decisions and win the pegging battle, but you can’t overcome straight cheating.

It’s awesome
Commercials
Too many commercials without exit
IT’S GREAT!!!!
A wonderful way to learn the game👍🏽
Good game, but…
The game is good, but I’m tired of seeing ads for companies that feature junk and trashy pictures.
Extensive clear empirical evidence
Absolutely extensively clearly empirically rigged
Fun
Super fun and easy to use
Goldilocks Game
Not too hard, not too easy. Am playing at the “challenging” level and may bump up to “brutal” as the robo player sometimes makes really bonehead choices when discarding. Still usually outpegs me, though (my weak spot). Congrats to the developer for a great game!
Multi player
The multiplayer tournament mode is too fast. A person doesn’t even have time to take a sip of drink or a bite of a snack before having to play. I understand pace of play is important but so is learning how to hold your hand and what to discard or play on the counter 31.
Cribbage pro
Great game and set up
Not sure but fun
I win more than lose but it’s a sham of a game. You go on about algorithms but I’ve a signed picture of the king, you can’t prove it’s not real
Rigged
Play it long enough and you'll see especially with the multiplayer. Just doesn't match traditional cards.
