I had the upgraded version on my old phone but can’t get it to work on my new phone and it isn’t as fun and fast-passed. ### 4/5 — Please allow resume *2026-01-27, version 1.10* It’s clear this game hasn’t been updated in 8 years but I wish they’d then release the version where we can resume. Even if I pause or idle too long I lose progress. I went to upgrade but cannot because of how old this game is. Not that it matters but I also wish the other player’s cards were not upsidedown. In real decks the cards have the numbers facing both directions. Can be disorienting on fast playing rounds. ### 4/5 — Glitch *2025-11-18, version 1.10* I love this game and play it all the time!! The only thing is I keep trying to upgrade the app and it auto closes the app and my phone is completely up to date and connected to WiFi. If that would get fixed this app would be perfect! ### 3/5 — Fun but no multiplayer *2025-07-27, version 1.10* The upgrade option doesn’t work to be able to play multiplayer but it’s a fun game still. ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2025-06-07, version 1.10* Very glitchy. The shuffling sound keeps disappearing and app closes down every time I try to upgrade! Also sometimes when you fling a card onto one on the board it doesn’t go. ### 4/5 — Can’t upgrade *2025-03-18, version 1.10* I really do want to pay you to play harder and faster… but the app crashes every time ### 4/5 — Please fix the upgrade link! *2024-12-31, version 1.10* I love this game. It’s the best Nerts app out there by a long shot. I bought the upgrade a while ago but deleted the app and reinstalled it, and now it won’t restore my purchase or let me buy it again. The app just crashes every time I hit the link. Please fix this!! ### 3/5 — Nertz *2024-11-12, version 1.10* I like the game. It will not let me update. Or I would give higher rating. I used to have the update. When I reinstalled it I can’t get the update to hold my games and continue them. I miss that a lot! ### 2/5 — Okay but has bugs *2024-11-07, version 1.10* compared to other apps that offer this game, the set up is the most realistic and easy to use… HOWEVER, I have yet to finish one game because it crashes EVERY single time someone is about to get nertz. I’ve restarted the app, my phone, the game itself and have gotten same outcome. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2024-11-02, version 1.10* Very glitchy. The shuffling sound keeps disappearing and app closes down every time I try to upgrade! ### 1/5 — Upgraded version no longer plays *2024-09-04, version 1.10* I purchased the full version years ago. It was great, but a couple years ago, the multiplayer stopped working (as others have mentioned). I recently got a new phone. I downloaded, but when I went to restore the upgraded version, the app just closes. I’ve tried repeatedly with same results. Now only functions on the most basic settings. ### 1/5 — Liked it more when I had it loaded a few years ago *2024-08-25, version 1.10* I can't upgrade now. Maybe it's beginning to have compatibility issues? When I select upgrade it shuts the app off. ### 1/5 — Ticked off *2024-08-14, version 1.10* Will not load on iPad! Needs to be fixed and updated! Why is it taking so long? This is stupid. ### 3/5 — Unable To Upgrade *2024-08-10, version 1.10* Would love to purchase the upgraded version but it glitches out on every device I use. Love that there are no adds. Game play is clear and fun. ### 3/5 — Ok, not great *2024-07-23, version 1.10* I just discovered the game of Nerts, via church friends. Wanted to play more so I downloaded this app. Game is ok, not great. The app crashes every time I try to do the upgrade option. ### 1/5 — Upgrade *2024-07-17, version 1.10* I have played the upgraded version for years and adored it ! It started to freeze, so uninstalled and reinstalled. Never have been able to upgrade again. This version is way too slow. ### 2/5 — What happened?!? *2024-07-14, version 1.10* I’ve had this app since 2020. I don’t remember if I upgraded it or not, but tonight the app glitched out. Wouldn’t allow me to start a game no matter how many times I restarted. So I deleted and redownloaded and now I can’t upgrade at all because it crashes each time. I can’t play with more than three bots. I don’t know what’s going on, but my joy is on the line here. I LOVE playing this game. I play for hours a day. I play every night before I go to sleep. I play when I’m bored at work. When I have the smallest amount of time to kill. Please tell me there a fix to this. I’d pay but it won’t allow me to. Please read this review and fix the app ☹️☹️☹️ Two stars for now because idk what to do. This game is my comfort. It brings me joy. I never thought this could happen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to access the update *2026-07-03, version 1.10* I live the app, but i am on a larger iphone 16 and everytime i click upgrade to get the “resume and multiplayer” features. the app crashes. but my friends all have the upgraded version ### 1/5 — Game freezing can’t upgrade *2026-05-18, version 1.10* Game kept freezing- I uninstalled reinstalled can only play to 50pts now and cannot upgrade - game shut down when I try to ### 1/5 — No upgrades available *2025-12-22, version 1.10* App does not support the option to upgrade, had it on my old iphone ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-10-17, version 1.10* Crashes on open ### 1/5 — Nerts *2025-08-23, version 1.10* The wait is way too long, if you and computer have no more moves to make and all the other games have access to play friends ### 1/5 — Sad *2025-03-18, version 1.10* Love this game but unfortunately the updates don’t work anymore.

It is fast and thoughtful. I can no longer play it on my phone. I click on it, it comes up and then it just disappears. This is so sad. It would be fun to play it with other people in real time online. ### 5/5 — Keep your mind active & sharp… *2026-03-10, version 1.10* This game is great fun if you’re looking for/need a way to keep your mind active and focused.

It was originally called “Oh Hell”, but we changed that to “Oh Heaven”. 😊 ### 5/5 — Nerts *2025-03-15, version 1.10* Fun game. ### 5/5 — One of my faves *2024-06-28, version 1.10* Nerts is one game that has gone with me through every iPhone and android I’ve ever had. It never gets old and keeps your brain quick. ### 5/5 — Best game *2023-03-23, version 1.10* I am so sad the Nerts no longer works on my IPhone. I loved playing this game. ### 5/5 — Crashes! Are there any updates??? *2023-03-07, version 1.10* Help ### 5/5 — Awesome game, I play all the time *2023-01-27, version 1.10* Totally worth the $3. I play this constantly.

Nice challenge. ### 5/5 — NERTS *2022-10-02, version 1.10* NERTS is the best solitaire app around! There’s nothing out there like it! I love it and am addicted to it. SUNSHINE LABS, LLC — PLEASE BRING NERTS BACK!!! I can’t live without it. ### 5/5 — Love the game, better score screen *2021-10-27, version 1.10* Love the game! Would like to see a better score screen, it’s a little jumbled. Like to see: Name,# cards left on Nerts pile, # cards played, score this round, score total so far --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
