### 2/5 — Needs update for new OS

*2017-05-29, version 1.2*

Or else it won't work

### 3/5 — I love this app but......

*2017-04-25, version 1.2*

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.

### 1/5 — Don't pay money

*2015-07-04, version 1.2*

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.

### 1/5 — Please update!

*2015-06-24, version 1.2*

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

### 2/5 — Fun but glitchy

*2014-10-24, version 1.2*

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

### 1/5 — Freezes when paused

*2014-01-04, version 1.2*

The game freezes when I pause it on my iPad mini. Great on my iPhone but is awful!

### 1/5 — Nerts extreme

*2013-12-21, version 1.2*

Constantly hangs when I pause the game.

### 2/5 — Stupid programming

*2013-11-14, version 1.2*

There needs to be something to fix when there is a stand still. Currently the game continues to cycle through no move available and shifting one card. This happens whether the game has a move or not. It's rather aggravating.

### 2/5 — Frustrating bug in an otherwise fun game

*2013-10-04, version 1.2*

Great game.  But if you step away for a few moments or have to switch to another app, the app freezes and you lose all your progress, your great score, etc.  aaaarrrgggghhhhh, you have to start over. Please! Fix the bug!

### 4/5 — Love this game but please fix

*2013-08-23, version 1.2*

I too had the problem with pausing and restarting a game. One other issue is how many times the "get unstuck" feature will move a card with no results before the game ends. I have apparently gotten stuck in an endless loop and cannot finish the game. Otherwise I love this game. Thanks!
