### 5/5 — Bad changes

*2025-12-07*

What is happening???
Bold graphics, odd characters, slow speeds. Why are you changing this game?

### 5/5 — Excellent way to pass time

*2025-12-06*

I have been playing this game for many years and have consistently enjoyed it.

### 1/5 — Stop changing design

*2025-12-06*

Please go back to the old set up. The new screen is difficult and small.

### 5/5 — Great find pitch app

*2025-12-05*

I just love this game. This is  Absolutely the BEST Pitch app out there. AND I don’t have to watch ads. Thanks to the developers.

### 3/5 — Wonky Dealing

*2025-11-11, version 6.1.1*

The back button is back, but the dealing is so wonky ands glitchy. It’s extremely visually frustrating.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2025-11-10, version 6.1.1*

This reverts back to settings and I can’t change them.

### 2/5 — What have you done

*2025-11-07, version 6.1*

The latest update ruined a good thing, every time I open the app I have to set my preferences, not good.

### 2/5 — New version is horrible

*2025-11-07*

I play the app all the time, maybe not anymore. The most recent version/update is horrible! It doesn’t save my settings, I have to remember to set my settings before every game. The cards twitch on every hand. They also took out the back button that was on the bottom left after each hand. You get used to something and then they take it away. There are way too many 4 bids. Glitches, I won the jack and the system gave the point to the competitor. App keeps getting worse.

**Developer response:** Hello- version 6.1.1 was just released and should address the settings issue that you are seeing and it also has the back button. If you have any other issues feel free to use our contact info in the app to reach out to us directly.

### 1/5 — Last update is really bad

*2025-11-05, version 6.0.1*

Loved this app before this update.  The graphics are worse and the look and the play is nothing like before.  Go back to the last version. The controls and settings change every time you open th app.  Really bad.

### 5/5 — Been Playing this for so long

*2023-08-08*

Been playing this for so many years. Always the most fun pitch app even if the computer makes crazy bids. I started playing this when I would get together a lot with friends to play Pitch and we’d all laugh about antics on the app since we all played it. Awesome memories and thanks to the dev who was truly one of the OG’s for making card games that weren’t covered with ad screens. People who have been around since the start of the App Store remember how good we used to have it.
