### 3/5 — Game is rigged

*2025-10-01*

Although my win rate is high, I don’t appreciate having a game handed to me (and no telling how many times this has happened before today when it was so obvious). I have played this game hundreds of times. Inoticed my opponent had only one possible clean book: five 6s. My opponent discarded a 6. This made no sense then later discarded another 6. Since there was no other possibility of getting a clean book, the 6s should have been placed on the opponents board.

### 4/5 — Love, but Not Challenging

*2022-09-08*

I love this app, but I only gave it 4 starts because I win about 90% of the time. I don’t think of myself as a particularly great player, so the bots need to be more of a challenge.

### 3/5 — Why don’t you update and get more players. Too easy!

*2022-08-23, version 4.73*

Update needed!

### 1/5 — Old one good

*2021-02-14*

I love the old version whereas there were just two players. Not interested in buy a new one with 4 players.  The only thing I wish was that I could start my scoring over like other games let you do.  I need to compete with myself and it gets boring if I can’t start a new record, so many games do not give me incentive.

### 2/5 — Looks up all the time

*2021-01-25*

Great game but locks up and freezes all the time. The only fix is to reboot the iPad which is annoying. 
Been putting up with it but just about over it.

### 2/5 — Way different rules!!

*2021-01-01, version 4.73*

Way different rules then I was taught! More like canasta then hand and foot.
Otherwise nice clean game!

### 1/5 — Hand & Foot

*2020-10-27, version 4.73*

I am asking  you to fix my Game . Paid  $ 1.99 in August 2020

### 1/5 — Card count

*2020-08-26*

Game doesn't score cards properly

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2020-08-18*

This is my favorite game! Yes it does need to be updated to fix a few things, but I’ve found work arounds or ignore them and play on. I have tried all the hand & foot games and I end up deleting all of them - except this one! Take care of this game -don’t  want to see it disappear. I play it every day!!! Thanks!! I love it!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing on IPad

*2020-06-04*

Yes, I also have paid for this game for the third time. I love the game and don’t mind paying for it as long as it works. The problem is that it only works some of the time on my IPad. It will work great for days, then the cards will hang on the screen and I have to completely shut it down and start over. I cannot find any correlation between any other apps running, have restarted the IPad, tried several other things to get it it to work properly. It continues to crash. Then the next day it will work perfectly for a few days, then it will start doing it again. 

The game works fine on my IPhone. Very frustrating to say the least.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-02-26, version 4.73*

Don’t waste your money. Half the time it won’t let you draw your cards or discard. I should get my money back.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2020-01-25*

There must be variations in the rules because this is a bit different than I’m used to. There’s no partners and the scoring isn’t quite right. It doesn’t let you draw the pile if you’ve put down that card already even if you have two in your hand. The graphics are nice and game play is smooth. If you’re not already familiar with the game you will probably like this.

### 1/5 — Hand and Foot Card Game by Ivar Chan

*2019-12-30*

This Game is terrible - it doesn’t work! Doesn’t allow you to lay down cards, put down a red 3 (and draw an extra card), etc. Basically you just can’t play the game. Thank god it was only a couple of $$ to buy, but still a waste of money and very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Love game/terrible app

*2019-12-21, version 4.73*

This app is horrible! I have to keep reloading it because it gets stuck! Please fix this! Mad I paid for this!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-10-22, version 4.73*

I bought the game 2 weeks ago and I haven’t got to play it yet. I’ve tried multiple times but it never works. I’m not sure if it’s the app or what but I can’t even discard. I’m really disappointed 😕

### 3/5 — The opponent cheats

*2018-10-31, version 4.73*

Why is it that if I pick up a discarded card I get the 4 extras from the discard pile but my opponent gets them from the new card pile.  He also gets to pick up when there is less than 5 cards in the discard pile but I can’t.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible. Controls don’t work. Hard to see other players cards. Sorry I wasted the money

*2026-06-02, version 4.73*

Absolutely terrible. Controls don’t work. Hard to see other players cards. Sorry I wasted the money

### 1/5 — Lousy app

*2026-05-03, version 4.73*

Game continues to lock most tries I play. Very annoying

### 1/5 — Worse app I’ve ever paid for

*2026-01-18, version 4.73*

Difficult to navigate

### 1/5 — Disappointing app

*2025-04-25, version 4.73*

Regret buying, not fun to play

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-20, version 4.73*

Can’t play the game.

### 1/5 — Difficult and tedious format

*2023-07-14, version 4.73*

It’s very difficult to move and get the cards to stick on the melds. There’s a link for support. I emailed several times and got no response.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2023-06-16, version 4.73*

I can’t believe I had to pay for this app to find out just how bad it is. The gameplay is not intuitive.

### 1/5 — Hand and foot but not this one

*2022-02-09*

So fed up. This game is awesome, when you play it in person! This app never I mean never lets you win 4 handed. 95% of the time when you discard a card it give you back the same thing the very next turn. Very very rarely am I dealt 3 of a kind. Etc etc. This game app really needs work done. Cause I’m done!

### 1/5 — No horizontal

*2021-09-11, version 4.73*

The game does not do horizontal

### 1/5 — Deep Freeze

*2021-06-15, version 4.73*

I’ve played this version of h&f for many years and NEVER run into problems like this.  It plays well for a few minutes, then freezes with any action (drawing, discarding, playing a card, etc.  Along with the algorithms,  the appearance of the game needs a serious update.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-05-08*

I have been playing this game for years. Probably one of the few that doesn't interrupt every few hands. Appreciate that.

### 5/5 — Fun fast paced game

*2020-07-12, version 4.73*

Enjoy this game . Like playing against more than one opponent option as I improved my own play.

### 5/5 — Is it my imagination or are some players better than others?

*2018-08-03*

Love this game enough to pay twice.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-06-22*

A great game! We play it with cards too with lots of friends. Very addictive. Thank you

### 5/5 — An I,d issue has arisen

*2018-04-16, version 4.73*

You need to draw your programmers a picture. Show them that your High Score page needs a wider column to SHOW all the digits in a date. Some dates in the format 99/99/2018 do NOT show the 18 in the year space. So my list shows some 2017 and 2018 and some 20 with the 18 missing from the date. Seems a little silly that your programmers didn’t test that field size when they breathed the game. I say lame. Hire better programmers.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-04-07*

Great app! I always enjoyed playing this game with my former in-laws and I am very happy to have found this app and play it again. I just wish there was a way to play with friends, like Words with Friends 😞

### 5/5 — Plays Good So Far

*2017-10-12*

We owned the original version, were very disappointed that it was incompatible with IOS 11, so needless to say we were pleased to see the developer released a version for IOS11. So far we have not experienced any of the bugs reported by other reviewers. We deleted the previous version prior to installing this version, that may have helped? I will update the review if any new issues arise.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-10-04*

I love this game. I was very sad when it went away when I upgraded to IOS 11. Thanks for bringing it back. It is my favorite game that does not require a connection!

### 4/5 — Please add

*2025-12-10*

I love playing this game, the only thing is I wish you could see
The other players total of cards like it shows mine.

### 4/5 — It’s fun but

*2022-09-11*

I wish you could play against actual people I haven’t had any crashes like others did but I do notice that the game is rigged andIt’s fun in real life and I also hate how they only have one set of each color when I was taught it was to read and three black books this game is too quick
