Glitchy

I’ve played this app hundreds of times. The latest version is rather glitchy. In particular, often in the initial cut to determine the first crib my card will appear but the iPad does not select its own card. Weird. Hope this can get fixed.

Two days later: the problem has been fixed. Thanks!

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this. I believe it is fixed in version 3.0.2.

PK

SO frustrating for a first time Cribbage learner. I rarely win and I know that I am not playing badly! The cards are always in their favor.

OK for Free

This is an OK game for free, with no frills. LOSER ALWAYS gets the next crib; something is wrong with the logic of the crib. Additionally, I sure wish the deal were actually random, becuase there are far too many large hands which does not typically happen IRL

Response from developer

The deck is shuffled before each deal with the Swift shuffle() function (Swift is the programming language used in IOS apps). This function is a widely-used random order generator. In the app, cards are always dealt off the top of the deck. Actually it is the real-life game that does not produce a genuine random deck, as a couple of hand shuffles does not accomplish this.

Annoying problem

Enjoy using the app , realistic games, simple easy to use interface and the best thing is no annoying advertising spoiling the game. However, since the last update, each time you leave the game part way through, instead of returning to the previous position in game that game disappears and you have to start over again. This needs fixing.

Where are the 5’s?

I think I’m a better player than posting a .333 batting average. I’m wondering why it seems like the 5 cards are so scarce for my draws. are you reading this?

Response from developer

The deck is randomly shuffled before each deal, and the starter card is randomly chosen. The odds of you receiving a 5 are the same in each hand, no matter how many times in the past you did not get one. For more on this see "Gambler's Fallacy".
