### 1/5 — Too many cheaters

*2026-09-02, version 1.0.0*

Was a great game, but at this point, to cheaters have manipulated the game code without any hope of it being fixed

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-31, version 1.0.0*

When are the first card games and shows and game

### 5/5 — Easy to learn great value

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.0*

This game is a lot of fun. It is easy to learn if you’ve never played before. It has several modes, including online play, and expansions. It’s a great value and companion to the original physical card game.

### 5/5 — Kitty go bomb

*2026-08-04, version 1.0.0*

This game is the portable version of exploding kittens. my only problem is that to unlock new thing you have to pay. but you are not required to pay for anything which is great

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.0*

I love this game it’s so fun and genuinely fills the empty ness in my brain

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2026-07-30, version 1.0.0*

It’s very fun worth the 5$ and it’s hard to game rage-baited (unless you’re opponent is good at it) but 5 stars

### 3/5 — Overheat and glitches

*2026-07-23, version 1.0.0*

For a paid app there’s too many glitches such as not being able to change the order when using alter/share future card and sometimes stuck when picking card from pile. Also for such a simple game why does my phone get so hot every time. This is the case even when battery saving is turned on within the app. Also please make it so that we can make custom deck. Also make the exact number of each cards known for each deck.

### 1/5 — REFUND ASAP!

*2026-07-23, version 1.0.0*

Did not let me play with others playing this game even after receiving code multiple times. Serious case of FOMO! Not to mention the 20minutes I spent trying to troubleshoot it, and another 10 trying to create, yet another account!! Whomever can help give me a refund asap rocky, please and thank you. Please fix these major inconvenient issues for the future!

### 4/5 — Game

*2026-07-21, version 1.0.0*

I love it but it does cost for each different pack including every pack from recipes for disaster and I bought them in real life and want to play it with someone so I went here and was a bit disappointed and in the redeem gift I don’t have a phone number so that’s annoying but overall it’s still amazing
