The game board doesn’t do a good job of covering the full iPad screen on landscape. The card bounce is exaggerated and annoying. ### 1/5 — Poor Quality *2024-07-06, version 1.9.1* CARDS SHAKE SO BAD I CANNOT PLAY!!! ALSO CARDS GROUP SO BAD I CANNOT GET THEM TO SEPARATE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE A SECTION OF A GROUP!!! THIS WAS A MAJOR RIP-OFF!!! ### 5/5 — Honey, You Shrunk My Cards *2022-12-31, version 1.9.1* 11/23/2022 I’ve played this game for many years & really love it (addicted actually). The recent update significantly reduced the size of the cards, which I had a bit of trouble seeing even before. I play on iPhone 7 in locked landscape mode. Please make the cards bigger again! I can’t see a reason to shrink them - the UI was perfect before yesterday. After spending so much time in your game I feel like I know you, so thanks for the fun times. UPDATE 12/31/2022 Thank you Eric, it looks awesome now & works great too! Fantastic job & thank you for responding to your fans. 😊 ### 2/5 — Help *2022-09-29* I have played this for years.
