### 4/5 — No issues, just not interesting

*2026-06-13*

There isn’t really an issue with this game, I just don’t find Belote on a whole interesting

### 2/5 — Fix the bugs

*2026-05-04*

It’s a rather nice app, but.

Just played a hand where Clubs is trump, picked by East. At some stage West plays Spades, I have no trump so play 10 diamond as I believe north will trump that hand, east trumps, my partner north plays 7 diamond, indicating my partner is out of trump, bad luck. 

Next hand is started by east of course, asking for clubs, trump…. And my partner provides a trump card 🙄😓

This is not the only issue I’ve noticed.

Also… when playing all trumps, the scoring is just completely off… Jacks should be worth 20 and 9s should be 14….

### 1/5 — Déprimant

*2026-04-05, version 3.14.4*

Ce jeu donne que 50% de chance aux gens qui ne dépensent pas ou ne font 
pas d.achat sur leur compte si vous regardez les stats on est toujours à 50% de victoire ou de défaites déception totale se jeu me dégoûte de plus en plus

### 4/5 — Stop pub

*2026-02-02, version 3.14.4*

Pourquoi ne pas avoir la possibilité d’acheter le jeu pour ne plus avoir de pubs, à l’instar du Tarot ou du rami qui sont sans pubs eux !!!

### 1/5 — Zéro

*2026-01-26, version 3.14.4*

Intelligence artificielle de haut niveau vous dites ? Aucun des trois ne sait jouer à la belote.
Trop de pubs comme d'habitude.

### 3/5 — Problème de parametrage mode expert

*2025-12-30*

Après plusieurs semaines de test, je constate que le mode Expert est à revoir. Mon partenaire ne prend jamais malgré un mode offensif. Les adversaires prennent sans avoir aucun atout majeur. Et comme par hasard c’est leur partenaire qui a les 3 cartes maîtresse à l’atout. Et de surcroît, les cartes proposées ne sont quasiment jamais intéressantes. Le mode aurait dû s’appeler Survivor ! 😆

### 5/5 — La belote

*2025-12-19, version 3.14.4*

J’adore je joue plusieurs  fois par jour sur téléphone et tablette
Sur la tablette Apple trop de pub et on est obligé de les supporter !
4 a 5 fois par partie…mais plus visible 
Je suis âgée et invalide

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2025-12-07*

Great game, nicely made but annoying amount of ads. Every second hand a very long ad ! Please reduce the frequency of ads!

### 4/5 — Super mais …

*2025-09-14, version 3.14.2*

Dommage pour le multi local absent sur androïd

### 4/5 — Publicité

*2025-08-29*

Trop de publicité agressive
