Also hard to read. 2) there are stats/achievements awarded at the end of each game, but no way to store/view them so what’s the point of awarding them? 3) you receive a daily “power boost” for logging in, but there’s no tangible benefit for this…it doesn’t affect gameplay at all…..again what’s the point of awarding it? 4) the No/Debt/Deal Breaker cards come up early in nearly every game. What’s the point? It’s still a fun game but not as fun as it should be. ### 4/5 — Better before the update *2024-03-03, version 2024.03.02* Been enjoying this game for a few year. The recent update added a new action mode and theme, but sadly took away a great feature where you won by accumulating a certain amount of money instead of properties. I hope they bring this feature back in a future update. ### 4/5 — Great game, just needs a few additions *2023-03-08, version 0.0.61* Love playing this game. If you play monopoly deal, this game is very similar. I would bump this up to a 5 star if they made it with the ability to play online against friends. Currently you can play against others but they have to be on the same Wi-Fi as you. Please make this change to the game. ### 4/5 — Good option for monopoly deal *2022-02-28, version 0.0.61* Fun game, very comparable to the monopoly deal card game. There needs to be a few tweaks to the game to make it a little better. I would like to be able to have a version to play online with others. There is the option to currently play with someone on the same Wi-Fi but our games are constantly dropping in the middle of them causing us to have to start over. Overall it is still a good option for playing against a computer. ### 4/5 — Fun Alternative to Monopoly *2021-04-14, version 0.0.61* Love playing Deal!! Developers are responsive - Bugs have to fixed since my initial review. ### 4/5 — Fun - wish you could play live people *2020-10-19, version 0.0.60* Great game! Just like monopoly deal! My only wishes would be that you could play live people online, and create a room to play friends online without being in the same location. ### 4/5 — My 2 cents *2019-10-21, version 0.0.53* The gameplay is good but it needs better graphics. It’s like a blast from the past playing this as it is ### 2/5 — Game Ends When Deck Runs Out 👎🏾👎🏾 *2019-10-20, version 0.0.53* The computers aren’t that smart so at some point your only goal is to see how much money you can collect in your bank. But now the game ends when the deck runs out of cards. ### 3/5 — MMO LAN no longer working *2019-09-03, version 0.0.49* The LAN option no longer works. Please help. ### 2/5 — LAN function not working *2019-08-20* Unable to play with another player using the LAN function, since there is no display no IP address to create room. ### 3/5 — Functional but not pretty *2019-03-07, version 0.0.43* Game works perfectly although user interface is quite basic. Good game if you’re not bothered about aesthetics. ### 4/5 — Great version of the game but one issue *2019-01-08, version 0.0.43* Only issue is that you cannot play against friends unless they are in the same room/network.. please add the additional feature to enable p2p across networks ### 4/5 — Some problems in the game *2017-11-11, version 0.0.43* There is no Forced Deal in the game and sometimes you can’t choose the target of Debt Collector. Otherwise, this is a great game! ### 2/5 — Good game but too many bugs *2017-01-31, version 0.0.43* I play the game most days but the bugs seem to be getting worse. Nearly every long game crashes. The most common bug is the deal to win icon in the middle turns white and it stops you from dealing. Other bugs include, having the 2 wild cards in a set freezes the game. Sometimes when you pass go you only get one new card instead of 2. The game also needs the black sets and a true reflection of the cards in monopoly deal. In a 4 player game every player can play a 'it's my birthday card'. That can't be possible. A pass and play option and an internet multiplayer would be good too. ### 2/5 — New graphics are horrible to look at *2016-12-06, version 0.0.43* I love this game but this recent update is just awful to look at. ### 3/5 — Almost great *2016-11-13, version 0.0.42* I'd love it if it didn't turn my music off when I opened the game. I should be able to listen to my music concurrently. ### 3/5 — New card design is awful *2016-10-25, version 0.0.42* The new card design looks terrible and is hard to view. Please fix this ASAP. I don't want to play anymore it is so bad. ### 4/5 — Great game! Still glitchy but lots of fun! *2016-10-09, version 0.0.41* in 3player mode, if P2 has both wild cards together as a monopoly, the game hangs when it becomes his turn. I have a screenshot. Otherwise I'm really enjoying it! Tx for the updates. ### 4/5 — Great game *2016-09-24, version 0.0.40* Pretty cool game. Sounds and ads are annoying but apart from that very close to the actual card game. Needs upgrading and 4 player mode keeps glicthing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Go back to the old version *2024-03-20, version 2024.03.02* This use to be my favorite game to play but now it’s difficult to play. The cards are way too small and the ads are in the way. Tragic. Please fix this game. ### 1/5 — Go back to the old version *2024-03-04* This use to be my favorite game to play but now it’s difficult to play. The cards are way too small and the adds are in the way. Tragic. Please fix this game. ### 1/5 — Worst update *2024-02-29, version 2024.02.27* The new layout is very bad bring back the original ### 1/5 — Best game ever *2016-06-25, version 0.0.39* Best game ever, but I'm disappointed that LAN mode is still not working. If this was fixed, I'd go back to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Lousy *2016-06-19, version 0.0.39* Lousy boring not interactive enough. Graphics too small. Not fun at all. Can never collect the 2 M birthday money. Thumbs down. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Bad *2016-05-10, version 0.0.38* Very buggy game birthdays don't always work on all players click on rent sometimes doesn't go to correct player card count limit incorrect at one time I had 4 in Hand ### 1/5 — Horrible graphics *2016-04-20, version 0.0.38* Everything is horrible and since the makers are fans, they should improve it like the card game ### 1/5 — NEW VERSION HAS IMPROVED GREATLY! *2016-02-06, version 0.0.35* This game was up to 4 stars in my reviews, however a new version showed up again and this one has too many glitches. What I don't understand is why the glitches always favor the computer players! What prompts this change in review now is I just had the two 4M blue cards on the board and played the blue/green rent card with the rent x 2 card. I should have received 16M from each player (in this case I would have received properties that would have won the game. Instead it showed up as a rent charge of 3M from each player. This particular glitch has occurred fairly frequently since the new version showed up. Never happens when P1 or P2 play cards. Frustrating! Sends me to another game immediately. Please fix and I will change my review. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Play Real *2015-12-29, version 0.0.32* The app plays like the real game, but doesn't play like a real game. Predictably you're going to win or the game is. Seriously, the game plays more birthday cards than the real game has... Like every hand?! Why screw up a great game, make it play real and make a fortune! Not realistic play, but it functions like the card game perfectly. Either you have all the right cards or the game does... Kinda takes the fun away. If this game had realistic game play and graphics it would be a trillion dollar seller... But it doesn't. No stars for "almost done". ### 1/5 — Scam *2015-11-08, version 0.0.32* It does not show the price to download. Its not a free game! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2022-01-29, version 0.0.61* Simple, multiplayer on local wifi and plays better than the actual card game. Love putting limitless houses and hotels on full sets and raking in the rent. Can’t get much better. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-03-22, version 0.0.57* Simple and fun, great version of monopoly to play on your phone. Would love to be able to play longer games and have more game settings - eg in money mode it would be fun to have a $100m goal, and maybe something similar in the property version. Other than that, love it! Thanks for a great game ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2019-09-19, version 0.0.50* I’ve been playing this game for ages. It’s an excellent game to pass time when you need to. Gameplay is smooth, and AI works great. Developer has excellent response and works hard to do quality work. New update came out nice! Definitely worth having. ### 5/5 — Monopoly deal at your fingertips *2019-09-17, version 0.0.50* First, thanks to the creator for updating this game! Love this app. It’s quick to load and plays exactly like monopoly deal. You don’t even need friends as the AI computers are decent! ### 5/5 — Love this game, play it every day! *2017-01-14, version 0.0.43* But I hate the new colors and graphics. Looks nothing like the card game. Change it back!! ### 5/5 — How do you use action cards? *2016-12-26, version 0.0.43* Pretty well done. Must have taken some time to write all the code for this game. Would recommend a yes/no prompt when using action cards as cash. I cannot tell you how many times I click on the wrong space and it gets eaten as cash ### 5/5 — iPad version? *2016-11-15, version 0.0.42* When will there be an iPad version of this game? ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-10-03, version 0.0.40* If you have played the card game this is a smaller deck and takes a little getting accustomed to but once you do it is awesome, great app. The only thing is the multiplayer doesn't work but I have a feeling they will fix it soon, I hope!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-07-12, version 0.0.39* Great game play for hours 😄 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-06-07, version 0.0.39* I cant wait to get the updates of this App The game is little bit slow i wish if it's twice faster Use Letters with colors to determine rent cards Enhance the cards shift specially multi color cards Add one more player I am willing to invest in this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
