User reviews

Works well with iOS8

Everything works for me. You need to understand how to adjust the settings which are complicated - because there are so many features. Great app. Play any card game you want. It’s a lot of fun playing cards anywhere on multiple devices either through Game Center (and with your Mom in Florida) or through WiFi. I have connected 4 devices together once I figured out the settings.

Total waste of time

The five star reviews must be from the developer, this was a waste of about 2 hours trying to figure out how to hide the opponents cards, good idea but doesn’t work

Response from developer

To hide cards, tilt the device and slip the card under the black translucent bar. Use 'Contact us' for any other questions.

Very frustrating

The app will crashed and had difficulty with two players. No matter what settings we selected the app kept reverting to default settings when tried to play. Don't waste your time.

Too Bad

Keeps crashing. Looks like not updated. If I knew the paid app was stable I would for sure purchase, and tell all my friends. Great idea!!

Great card App

I downloaded this App, to see if it would do what I was after.... to be able to turn over a card at a time off a deck of playing cards (without the need for the pack!!)

It looked as if it would allow this but I could not see how. So, I emailed the author for help.

He replied, very quickly, showing me how to configure it.... Hey Presto, it now does just what I am after and I am using it for a couple of different games with the kids, great!!

So, top marks for the App - and 6 out of 5 for the really great help & support.

FAQ

What is iPlayingCards (Lite)?

iPlayingCards (Lite) is a virtual deck of cards designed for use with physical card games. It allows you to manage the deck, shuffle, deal, and even simulate hidden hands on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. It is not a game-playing program itself but a tool to facilitate playing with others.

How can I play card games with others using this app?

You can play with others on a single shared device or across multiple devices. For multi-device play, you can connect using Game Center (globally), Local WiFi, or Bluetooth (within a limited range). Cards are moved with touch gestures, and hidden hands can be revealed by tilting the device.

What are the limitations of the Lite version?

In the Lite version, the deck can only be shuffled into six predetermined random decks. To unlock unlimited random shuffling, an in-app purchase upgrade is available. However, manual rearranging of cards is still possible in the Lite version.
