### 4/5 — Solid game

*2026-06-14*

A good solid card game, though the opponents are a little predictable

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 4 stars and the kind words! We hear you on the opponents feeling a bit predictable — sharpening and varying their play is something we keep working on. Hope to earn that fifth star!

### 5/5 — Great game

### 5/5 — Adoro mas ten muita propaganda

*2026-06-01*

Adoro jogar king on line mas acho que tem muita propaganda tornando o jogo, muitas vezes, cansativo

**Developer response:** Adoramos saber que você curte o King! Se o nosso é o único jogo que joga, compreendemos que pareçam muitos — mas comparado à maioria dos jogos ficamos bem modestos! 😄 Com uma pequena compra única pode eliminá-los para sempre.

### 5/5 — Addict

*2026-05-31*

Jeu indispensable pour les amateurs, j y passe au moins une heure par jour, c est une grande réussite. Pourquoi n’y a-t-il pas le contrat de la réussite ?

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce bel hommage ! Ravi que le jeu fasse partie de votre quotidien. 🏆 Le contrat de la réussite est une belle suggestion — nous la transmettons à l'équipe. King a de nombreuses variantes régionales et nous adorons évoluer avec nos joueurs.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-31*

This game takes skill and memory to keep track of cards. My Dad taught it to me. Love it!!

**Developer response:** That's a wonderful way to carry on a tradition! We're glad the game keeps those memories alive. May every hand be as good as the ones your Dad taught you. 🍀

Maravilhoso !

**Developer response:** Obrigado! Que venham muitas partidas maravilhosas! 👑

### 5/5 — Addictif

*2026-05-29*

Très bien, j’adore ce jeu. J’ai eu l’honneur que l’équipe crée juste à ma demande, une page de fin de partie car j’avais remonté le problème que rien ne nous avertissait qu’on était rendu à la dernière donne du jeu et si on n’était pas attentif, on enchaînait sur une nouvelle partie sans avoir vu le score de le fin de la précédente.
Désormais, il y a les scores à la fin d3 la dernière donne.
Merci l’équipe.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce retour touchant ! C'est exactement ce type de feedback qui nous pousse à améliorer le jeu. Très heureux que la page de score soit utile — bonne chance à la table ! 🎴

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-05-29*

Great online version of the game - only criticism is it’s slightly too addictive!

**Developer response:** We'll happily take 'too addictive' as a compliment! See you at the table. 🎴

### 5/5 — King

*2026-05-28, version 2.5.5*

Soy una fuerte jugadora de king y hace una semana no recibo el puntaje correcto, siempre estoy en el mismo y se encuentra todo actualizado

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-02-23*

De Très bons moments

### 3/5 — Good looking game

*2026-01-23, version 2.5.0*

I thought it’s supposed to be in order, No hands, also NT, NH, NM,NQ ,NK of H, no last trick.

### 2/5 — Bug…

*2026-01-12*

Depuis la dernière mise à jour, vous débutez la partie sans savoir ce que l’adversaire a choisi comme jeu, un sacré handicap!

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2026-01-11*

Sometimes, I can´t see which trick my opponent has chosen. I play blindly and try to figure out on the go according to how others are playing. Apart from that, it is a nice app if you like playing King.

### 5/5 — King

*2026-01-02, version 2.4.8*

Great time

### 4/5 — Супер!

*2025-12-02*

Целый день резался онлайн, как скачал)))) только жалко нет плюсовых игр, аналогичных минусовым и ералашей!!!!! - это старый отзыв был, удалял, забыл даже о нём, потом опять скачал! Теперь играю только соло, рекламы нет, потому что отключаю вайфай и сотовые данные, так, время провести - здорово! Только периодически путаю «козырь черви» с «не брать червей»!))

### 5/5 — Avaliacao

*2025-11-25*

Pode ficar melhor! Eu adoro o game . Gostaria de poder ajudar conforme email que enviei! Elaine

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2025-07-30*

It is a great game. Only thing would be to allow a game reset to start over. As it is you have to play the 40 hands to start over.

### 5/5 — Super game

*2025-06-21*

Works well. Ads a bit annoying but it’s free.

### 1/5 — Хлам

*2025-04-23*

Очень много рекламы

### 1/5 — Реклама каждую минуту. Бред, стрем, отвлекает сильно от игры

*2025-03-17*

Все круто было ранее, после обновили и стало еще лучше. Но как решили пускать рекламу, сразу перестал играть и удаляю приложение. Каждую минуту игры реклама, стрем, бред, игра идет долго, но постоянно включается несколько штук рекламных роликов. Сбивает очень сильно, сразу пропадает интерес. Так как много карт запоминать приходится, а реклама все портит. 
Вообще никому не посоветую.

### 1/5 — Mise à jour horrible

*2024-10-23*

Impossible de lancer l’ancien Barbu.
Obliger de télécharger cette nouvelle version (moins bien) et surtout mon achat de noPub : oublié avec ce nouveau programme qui n’est pas une mise à jour mais un nouveau et autre programme, qui plus est moins bien.
Je perds donc le jeu que je ne peu plus lancer, et l’expérience de cette MàJ fait que je supprime également cette version.

### 1/5 — Décevant

*2024-08-23*

Beaucoup moins bien que l’an cuenne version. Peu de réglages possibles (vitesse de jeu, noms des partenaires, mode de comptage des points …)
Je jouais beaucoup avec l’ancienne version,et je pense que je vais retirer celle ci de mon smartphone et tenter un autre éditeur. Dommage.

### 1/5 — Le barbu

*2024-07-08*

Très déçue de ne plus pouvoir jouer à cette version le barbu car il n’a pas été mis à jour !!!
Je jouais à ce jeu depuis de nombreuses années et celui qui remplace qui s’appelle le King n’est pas bien du tout!!!!!
J’attends et j’espère une mise à jour pour l’ancienne version.

### 1/5 — Rules are incorrect

*2024-05-08*

You lose points for taking 0 tricks on a positive round. You can’t sluff anything but hearts in the “No hearts” round. You must play a trump card if you have a void in any suit led in all positive rounds. Anyone who plays trick taking games seriously knows these rules to be ignorant and nonsensical. Scoring is extremely punitive. Full minute of video ads which cannot be skipped or pay to not endure after each 40-second round of gameplay. Crashes a lot. This is an exercise in frustration for players.

**Developer response:** It is mentioned that the rules are adapted for online playing.
Additionally this game has many variations in many countries.

### 1/5 — Willing to pay for ad-free version.

*2024-04-29, version 2.3.2*

Good game, but excesively frequent and long adds make unusable. Would be happy to pay to play ad free.  Waste of time with so many ads.

### 1/5 — Если бы не реклама, норм

*2024-03-22*

Очень бесит, что нельзя заплатить и отключить рекламу. Пришлось удалить

### 1/5 — Nothing but frustration

*2022-11-28, version 2.2.2*

99% of players are bots posing as players. They have names but they are bits and yes, they cheat. The scoring is so whack that although there are 10 rounds of play you can easily go down 50 points or more after those rounds. If you fail to take any tricks in a round, a very common occurrence, zero is not enough of a punishment I guess. You lose 2 points in addition. Why do you lose 2 points for getting zero??? One round requires taking no hearts, another no tricks at all. If the other 3 players choose those options in a row, you can potentially go down 100 points. Very few actual players in this game and there is no relief as the score is endless. All the other “players” have scores in the 10’s of thousands. If you play daily and consistently you will be lucky to reach 1000 points.

### 1/5 — Manipüle edilmiş bir oyun

*2022-10-16*

Böyle bozuk, böyle tuzak bir oyun görmedim. Her oyun bana karşı oynatılıyor. Sanki kurucular bunu planlamış ve bir kişiyi seçip ona karşı oyunlar kuruyorlar. Gereksiz zamanımı harcayacağıma sildim gitti. Kartlar öyle kuruluyor ki. Sende kalmamazı imkansız.

### 5/5 — Прошу разработчиков !!!

Игра не коннектится. Я не могу играть в King
Моё игровое имя Сергей Е
Прошу подключить меня

**Developer response:** Большое спасибо за 5 звёзд! По вопросам подключения, пожалуйста, напишите нам через настройки игры — мы поможем разобраться.

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2026-06-28*

Играю в эту игру много лет. Не помню сколько.т:) Мне не хватает истории моих игр, а в остальном - прекрасно провожу время. Рекомендую.

**Developer response:** Thank you for all these years and the recommendation! We've forwarded your notes to our team — wishing you many more great games! 🏆
Спасибо за все эти годы и за рекомендацию! Мы передали ваши пожелания нашей команде. Желаем вам ещё множества приятных партий! 🏆

Playing for years. Solo play was very fun and challenging to play

**Developer response:** Thank you for all these years! So glad solo play keeps you challenged and entertained — may your hands always dodge the danger cards. 🏆

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2026-06-09*

Неплохой вариант,но нет функции прекращения текущей игры.А в прошлой версии была,также неплохо было бы вернуть ералаш и антиералаш-это же игра, в конце-концов.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за 5 звёзд и подробный отзыв! Функция прекращения текущей игры в соло-режиме всегда существует — сейчас она объединена с окном информации о текущем состоянии игры: нажмите на левый верхний угол (где показывается иконка текущей игры), и откроется нужное окно с кнопкой «Обнулить». Упомянутые вами игры (ералаш и антиералаш) используются в варианте с 32 картами. Если что-то останется неясным, пожалуйста, напишите нам через раздел настроек.

### 5/5 — Love playing King

*2026-06-04*

Great game, enjoying every moment.

**Developer response:** Thank you! May every moment at the table be even better! 🎴
