## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Hacked

*2024-09-07*

Every time I go to play, the game is taken over with some ad that will not go away unless I restart my iPad. Very annoying!!

### 1/5 — Ad is irresponsible

*2022-04-23*

I like this game but the ad featuring a sniper game in which innocent people are being shot in a public place is all kinds of irresponsible in today’s world. Shame on you. I won’t play as long as this ad continues.

### 1/5 — Adverts

*2022-02-16*

The adverts are going to black and shutting the game down.   Annoying.   This is a new feature and I’m not happy

### 1/5 — Game seems fixed

*2021-03-25*

I’ve been playing cribbage all my life. I’ve never seen my  opponent score so many 12+ hands per game ever.  When I first started playing I thought “that’s the way the cards fall sometimes”. But the computer gets 12+ 4 to 7 times a game EVERY game. When playing “expert” level I would expect the computer just to play its cards better...not to have the deck be stacked.

### 1/5 — POOR NO TERRIBLE QUALITY

*2020-11-21*

The game should learn how to count cards..... ESPECIALLY it’s own. Many Many errors in counting every game.

### 1/5 — Immutable ads!!

*2020-10-31, version 1.1.0*

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!! Constant ads and can’t even mute them! Screams out load and disturbs everyone around you, or wakes people up in the middle of the night! Greedy, pure and simple.

### 1/5 — Totally Unfair

*2020-09-10*

No matter how many times I have played; and I am no slouch when it comes to playing Cribbage the computer has 12 to 20 hands.
I can see that happening now and then but not every hand.  I think the game is rigged for the computer to win 99% of the time.  I will be removing it

### 1/5 — Scoring is off!

*2020-07-28*

I had a 5, two 6s, a 7, and community card was an 8. It was scored as only one run of four instead of two runs of four.

### 2/5 — images way too small

*2024-03-21*

Why are the cards so small? There is plenty of room to resize them. Hard to select them.

Pegs, too, are so small as to be almost invisible. Yes, I have a digital score. But if you’re not going to make the board usable, it’s not much fun.

Disappointing, graphically. 

Gameplay is ok. Though I’d like an option to just auto calculate hand scores without having to hit ok for each hand. Pause at round end is enough.

Publish sn update, and I’ll be back. The mechanisms of play seem ok. But way too hard to see what’s going on.

### 2/5 — Gameplay is great but ads are killing me

*2023-04-07*

Every new round requires watching ads and they require multiple closing and waiting. It’s exhausting — let me just pay a couple bucks for the game and be done with it!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2021-01-15, version 1.2.0*

Lots of fun

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2020-08-07*

I’m really loving the various game modes included in the game. The developer has been very responsive to my bug reports. Highly recommended!

### 4/5 — Round summary

*2025-08-28*

Get rid of it…. It’s enough that we have to wait several minutes every time we play	(all games not just you) to see something we are not interested in that you now have inserted another page for us to delete. If you want to keep it then make it an option that we can remove it. If it’s to gather more people that don’t know the game I understand it, but most of us on here KNOW how to play and count….

### 4/5 — Good game, but ...

*2020-07-29*

Can’t get past the pre-game ad screen for another North Sky Game unless I am online, which isn’t always possible.
Never had this issue with any of your other games.
Fix this, and I’ll add another star.

### 3/5 — Need more options

*2025-03-10*

I don’t like how small the board & pegs are. When playing, not sure what color I am at a glance. My biggest complaint & reason to delete is because I’m unable to sort my hand. Sorry, but thumbs down from me.

### 2/5 — Rigged game at expert

*2022-04-20*

The only difference between hard and expert is that the computer seems to get just the right card way to often.  If you are just looking to kill time and enjoy the game, don’t play the expert level, stay at hard.

### 2/5 — Agree with the first reviewer

*2021-07-15*

Please enlarge the game!  Thank you.

### 2/5 — Can’t see board

*2020-08-13*

Crib board is too small and can’t see the pegs (not bright enough) even with glasses on
