Needs update for new OS

Or else it won't work

I love this app but......

Please, please, please update your app! I am getting a message that it will no longer be compatible with future iOS updates if the the developers don't update the game app.

Don't pay money

Why can't I change any options for the game like with the iPhone free version? I paid to get it on my iPad and I have less options than the free version?!? That makes no sense.

Please update!

Love this game and app but needs updating!! Crashes, freezes, gets stuck every time....

Fun but glitchy

Love this game and pretty easy to navigate but extremely glitchy when paused then trying to resume game.

Bug

Bug

Fun but has won't resume play properly after pausing!!

Bug

If you pause the game and come back to it later

Bug

Small box with choice to resume play won't go away

Bug

So you have to end the game or play without seeing everything!

Bug

Please fix this bug!

Bug

Would give it 4-5 stars when fixed

Bug

Sound?

Bug

Annoying glitch everybody else has too

Bug

Doesn't seem to have sound

Bug

Liked that feature!

Bug

A silent game is hard to play ...

Bug

Also have the problem with resuming games.

Bug

Great game except it freezes when paused

Bug

Have to close the game and start over from the beginning.

Bug

Frustrating.

Bug

If this is fixed, the game deserves 5 stars.

Bug

So Addicting!

Bug

My family has played Nerts for the past 40 years

Bug

Thought we were alone or made it up

Bug

Great to know that there are others out there.

Bug

Love the app

Bug

Very similar in game play to real live play.

Bug

Suggestions to consider for future upgrades:

Bug

Add sounds.

Bug

Part of the fun of the real game is the frenetic yelling and screaming

Bug

Tensions rise

Bug

Narrowly miss placing a card.

Bug

The trash-talk is great

Bug

Sound of the cards hitting the table would be a fun addition.

Bug

It would be sweet to have the option to turn up and scale the amount of sound effects you hear.

Bug

Game Center support.

Bug

Bought the iPhone version too so that I could play my kids on other iPhones

Bug

That's only through Bluetooth.

Bug

It would be awesome to have live tournaments with extended family in other states.

Bug

Running totals for long tournaments.

Bug

I'd like a way to keep a record of wins/losses and who was playing.

Bug

On the iPhone when playing someone else via bluetooth there can only be one computer apparently.

Bug

I'd like to be able to still choose the number of players by adding more computer players.

Bug

Player names.

Bug

If there are live players, it would be nice to see their names in the corners

Bug

So you know if they are the one tossing in a card.

Bug

Horizontal Orientation.

Bug

This would be especially nice on the iPad please.

Bug

Can't continue an old game

Bug

If I put the game in the background, then try to play again

Bug

The continue game dialog can not be dismissed.

Bug

This is one of my favorites on the iPhone, but it disappoints on the iPad

Bug

I love the game wish they would fix the glitch

Bug

The nerts game is incredibly addictive and fun to play.

Bug

My only issue with this application is the inability to pause the game.

Bug

If I choose to pause the game and resume it before pulling up another app or my iPad turning off it works fine.

Bug

However if I choose to pause the game and resume it at a later time the game menu showing my options to resume, start a new, or end game will not leave the screen.

Bug

The menu only responds to a new game button therefore erasing the game I had started.

Bug

This makes this paid app pointless unless you have time to just sit and play through a whole set.

Bug

Okay

Bug

Coming from the iPhone version.

Bug

To be honest, no Bluetooth multiplayer was a huge let down.

Bug

That was the funniest part of the game.

Bug

Coming from the iPhone version however, you do NOT have to pay for the extra difficultly levels.

Bug

With the iPad version all the difficulties levels and opponents are included.

Bug

It would be nice to if the graphics were updated to include the "New" iPad also.

Bug

It also does not rotate to landscape mode.

Bug

It can only stay in portrait.

Bug

So I give the application 3 stars.

Bug

It does Nertz. Nothing more, nothing less.

Bug

Up the graphics and add multiplayer for more stars :)

Bug

It's almost as fun as the real thing, if the bugs weren't so bad.

Bug

Nerts is easily one of my most favorite card games.

Bug

When I discovered this app I was thrilled.

Bug

However, this app is far from perfect.

Bug

When the game is paused and the screen shut-off, the pause menu doesn't go away when you press resume.

Bug

Now, the pause menu doesn't go away for me, even when I start a new game.

Bug

It is also very easy for the computer to get you caught in a loop of "Stuck."

Bug

Yes, I'm aware this happens in a real game, but it happens so often in this app, you'll eventually come across this bug if you purchase this app.

Bug

If you are considering purchasing this app, wait until they fix the bugs.

Bug

Awesome

Bug

Great game, plays very true to actual gameplay...

Bug

One small fix I would reccommend: put the card value and suit in the opposite corner as well, facing the opposite direction, much like a real card.

Bug

During a fast paced game like this, it would be helpful!

Bug

Please fix bug

Bug

This game would be perfect if you could pause it.

Bug

After pausing, can't go back to game

Bug

Must end and start a new one

Bug

Very frustrating.

Bug

Great game, small bugs

Bug

I love nerts and this game is really great.

Bug

A few small bugs the developers need to fix.

Bug

After pausing the box doesn't go away

Bug

I have to restart the game.

Bug

Game has crashed a few times

Bug

Close iPad cover while playing

Bug

Freezes the game

Bug

Won't shut down or anything

Bug

Wish there was some sort of celebration when you win

Bug

Really anti-climatic

Bug

Recommend this, it's great.

Bug

Agreed completely with other reviewer

Bug

Please fix the bug that it stops responding when you pause

Bug

Family has played for years

Bug

Same as Snap

Bug

Would love a multi-person version

Bug

Glitch on iPad version

Bug

Hoping will be fixed soon

Bug

Game is still there, but box will not go away

Bug

Forced to close current game and start a new one

Bug

Great game. Try it!

Bug

I think you'll love it :)

Bug

P.S. Increase your game...

Bug

Love this game.

Bug

This version is better than the free version because you can play against 5 making it much faster without wait time like the free game.

Bug

Recommend to anyone looking for something easy to learn but challenging as you develop strategy to get nerts first so the other players have negative scores.

Bug

Enjoy!

Bug

If we could resume a game we had to leave unexpectedly, would give 5 stars.

Bug

I play it everyday!

Bug

P.S. I found a product at Staples called Monster Clean Touch for iPad, iPhone and iPod, which cleans the screen and anyone that plays Nerts knows that a smooth screen inceases your game as you can slide cards into pkace faster. Try it!

Bug

No Bluetooth support

Bug

Want to play with multiple IPads, unfortunately the IPhone free version is better than the IPad pay version.

Bug

Save you 3 bucks and buy the free IPhone version until it supports Ipad Bluetooth.

Bug

Addicting

Bug

I purchased this app for my mom, wholoves nerts.

Bug

It is THE BEST nerts game out there, and I can't say enough good things about it.

Bug

I have had my fair share of playing, and find nerts really challenging.

Bug

Great job developers!!!

Bug

Needs landscape mode

Bug

I like the game.

Bug

We've played this game for years in my family.

Bug

The thing I don't like is apps that don't support both landscape and portrait mode.

Bug

Built for Awesomeness!!

Bug

So... do I like this game? You BET!

Bug

Do I think it's worth the money? You BET!

Bug

Am I addicted to it? You BET!

Bug

Would I recommend it? .... guess...

Bug

Now the good stuff:

Bug

Finally someone that has brought one of the best table games to the digital platform!

Bug

Guess what! I have the same emotions playing this game as when I play the real one.

Bug

I am impressed of how much realistic it is.

Bug

Sometime when you play the table nertz you have a couple minutes where nobody can make a move.

Bug

It builds the anxiety of hurrying through and compete to see who is the next one to break the "freeze" and unleash the speed of the game.

Bug

I didn't think you could actually replicate that emotion on a digital game. You dazzled me!

Bug

Love this game!!!

Bug

They fixed all of the bugs

Bug

I'm changing my review to a 5 star.

Bug

This edition works beautifully!

Bug

Thank you so much for fixing it.

Bug

This is by far my favorite game!

Bug

really bad

Bug

The app constantly reverts to the impossible level which you almost can't see the cards much less play one, sometimes in the middle of a hand especially if you pause the game.

Bug

Do not waste your money!!!!

Bug

A Big Problem

Bug

This application is just great...Except that it automatically reverts to Impossible mode after a few games, or in the middle of a game, or just because.

Bug

Therefore, even as much fun as it is when it's working correctly Nerts Extreme is just not worth the trouble.

Bug

I liked it so much that I went to the trouble to hunt down the telephone number of the developers and called them for suggestions and to let them know about the problem.

Bug

Their advise was to wipe the program off the iPad and reload.

Bug

Tried that ...didn't work.

Bug

Frustration level is really high.

Bug

Perfect game in form and function IF ONLY IT WORKED CORRECTLY.

Bug

Great Game Except for the Bugs

Bug

This is a fun game, but would be much more fun if the bugs were fixed.

Bug

It randomly switched to "Impossible" during play.

Bug

Then if i try to reset the difficulty it freezes up and I have to restart.

Bug

I'll give it 5 stars when it's fixed.

Bug

Has problems

Bug

Gameplay is great when it is not buggy.

Bug

Randomly jumps to hardest difficulty and is impossible to play.

Bug

No response from developer and they have no site.

Bug

Love it BUT auto switches to "impossible"

Bug

Great game even though it won't auto rotate to horizontal screen and there is a major bug that will allow you play on an easy level a couple times before it sticks on impossible even if you restart.

Bug

The worst part is that you don't know it has switched until you are in the middle of the game!

Bug

Love it but buggy

Bug

Same thing....switches to impossible after one round.

Bug

Fix and get 5 stars!

Bug

Not worth it yet

Bug

The game is terribly buggy, jumping to the "impossible" level randomly and it doesn't work in landscape mode either.

Bug

I love the actual game, but this app is terrible.

Bug

Shame on the developers for not even bothering to fix this app, considering how long this problem has been going on.

Bug

Great app when it works

Bug

This is a great app but it is buggy.

Bug

After playing for awhile the application switches to the highest difficulty level.

Bug

Usually the app has to be restarted because the settings buttons are non responsive, kind of like the developers in response bug reports.

Bug

I would give the app 5 stars if it worked correctly.

Bug

Sooooo addictive!!!

Bug

This is just like the real thing! But better - no cleanup!
