### 4/5 — Nice but unstable

*2024-12-28, version 4.3*

Love the game but it shuts down for no reason sometimes in the middle of the game. Hope it is fixed.

### 4/5 — Crosscrib

*2023-02-09, version 3.0*

Cards are definitely not random which leads to a lot of frustration!

### 4/5 — Love it

*2022-03-29, version 2.4*

Love the game, it is addictive. 
Just Wish the 2 player game was setup where it would use your iCloud storage like HandandFoot game is where you can play a friend and be notified when he plays. 
But it is still one of the best games I have come across.

### 4/5 — Stumbled upon it and liked it!

*2021-04-06, version 2.3*

Easy to. At h on to and nice alternative to the original game.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-03, version 6.1.2*

The game went from 5 stars to what should be zero due to a pornographic banner ad.

### 1/5 — Nov 2025 update

*2025-11-27, version 6.0.0*

Your last update made the game so annoying I can’t play it. I played almost daily now the game is trash with useless animation, slow play, and horrible visuals.  Guess it’ll give me some time back. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-05-30, version 2.3*

Constantly getting booted from online gameplay with no way to re-enter a game. One you’re disconnected, you’re both done. Game Over. Makes playing with friends online horrible. I tried multiple times and had zero luck completing a game. Don’t waste your time with this app.

### 2/5 — Great b4 now not so much

*2026-02-10, version 6.0.9*

I have played this off and on for a long time.  Pro version still to easy.  Current version changed screen size and now cards on small screen almost impossible to play.

### 3/5 — Restore pre update

*2025-12-03, version 6.0.4*

Liked it much better before the latest update. Slower now and occasional glitches when starting a new game

### 3/5 — Great game  except….

*2025-01-14*

I love this game but it randomly crashes a lot! If they could fix this bug I would gladly give it 5 stars!

**Developer response:** I released a new version (4.4) yesterday. I hope that has resolved the crashes for you!

### 4/5 — Card faces too small

*2026-02-07, version 6.0.9*

I love this game so, but when it was updated the text became smaller.  It’s a strain on the eyes and a deterrent to playing the game that I love. Please make the card faces larger (like they were before the “update”).

### 4/5 — Cross Cribbage update

*2025-12-03, version 6.0.4*

Not enjoying new screen layout. Card faces smaller. Must go to game board to confirm move. Please restore previous version

### 4/5 — Cannot open app since update

*2025-11-29, version 6.0.0*

Since the update I am no longer able to open the app:(

### 4/5 — Not Difficult

*2025-09-27, version 4.4*

I really enjoy this app and play the real version on a cross crib board I have at home. I am pretty good but not professional and wish this game had a harder setting… I have never lost. I also wish there was a setting where the player could score their own hand. This could make it a bit more challenging too. Fun game though!

### 5/5 — Thumbs up

*2026-07-21, version 6.1.5*

I absolutely love how smoothly the app works. I paid the small fee so I don't have advertisements and I would do it again since it is a one time purchase.  My only request is that an update come out with push notifications as an option.

### 5/5 — Updated app feature requests

*2025-12-08, version 6.0.4*

This is a fun and challenging alternative to traditional cribbage.

I would love to see the following updates to the new app:

1. Score updates after each card is played, rather than at the end of a round.

2. Option to bypass the end of round scoring summary - just take me to the next round.

3. Double-tap to auto place a card (no confirmation)

4. Delete a resumable game

5. Option to enlarge card number size.

### 5/5 — Updated Review

Cheers!
