### 4/5 — Great

*2017-08-26, version 1.3.0*

This app is good and fun. The only problem is when you close out the app you lose the data from the previous game. That is the only thing I would fix but otherwise it is really fun and relaxing

### 3/5 — Good game

*2017-04-08, version 1.3.0*

It is a good game but need to have options in the multi player for 2, 3 or 4 players.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2013-07-26, version 1.2.0*

My friend said would be a fun game then I found out  it well
I didn't like it and one day then i drive to my grandmas house and played that game on the way back and it was fun 👗emma

### 3/5 — Ok

*2012-07-21, version 1.2.0*

The game is fun but when you play multi user, you can't choose the number of players. It automatically defaults to 4. It is frustrating. I want to play with my daughter and we can't. I have to play for 2 additional non-existing players.
Please fix!!!!

### 3/5 — Sun??

### 2/5 — Fun but

*2012-01-10, version 1.2.0*

It is fun but it needs to  be free

### 3/5 — Please fix this app

*2011-11-03, version 1.2.0*

This app is fun for my 5 yr old son but what's  dissapointing is it messes up on him the cards suddenly get really, really tiny to where u can't c them, and he had to log out it start over. Not fair, especially when he's winning and happy about it and the dum app messes up >=\ please fix .....

### 5/5 — Omg

### 4/5 — Yay!

### 5/5 — Review

*2011-06-12, version 1.2.0*

I love it. Awesome game!

### 4/5 — Has Potential

*2011-05-27, version 1.2.0*

Great game to while away a few minutes. Would be better if you choose to speed up the gameplay as you can in other games. Also a choice of backgrounds and card backs would be nice. I wonder if non-static figures on cards is also possible?

### 1/5 — Me

*2019-02-14, version 1.3.0*

Can you please update the app so I can play it thank

### 1/5 — Can't Shuffle or Rearrange Cards!  No Online!

*2014-01-18, version 1.3.0*

This app has great potential, but, until you can shuffle and rearrange cards--an integral part of Old Maid--this app is worthless.  You can simply track the old maid after it leaves your hand!   Just terrible!  Please update!

Also, there is no online multiplayer...only pass and play.  REALLY disappointing!

I saw the negative reviews in the prior version (from 2010!!!!) about the aforementioned issues and decided to take a chance, hoping they were fixed...not!!  The app STILL has the shortcomings after not having been updated for FOUR years!!!  Wow, pretty bad indeed...

### 1/5 — annoying and a waste of money

*2013-02-05, version 1.2.0*

was really looking forward to this but the continual tapping to change from one player to another and the slowness make this game not so fun. Do not waste your money.

### 1/5 — Old maid

*2012-07-23, version 1.2.0*

Sadly, this was a waste of money :( boring😔

### 1/5 — Old Maid Card Game

*2012-07-22, version 1.2.0*

Had high hopes for this, but 2 bad things: any moron can always tell where the Old Maid is since you can't shuffle the cards and you can't designate fewer players than 4 in multiplayer. Boring even for my 8 yr old. Waste of $1.99.

### 1/5 — This game ranks as one of the worst

*2011-09-01, version 1.2.0*

This is one of the worst games I have played in a long time.   Its not what you would expect.  You can't shuffle cards around and you are stuck playing a 4 person game instead of 2 or 3.  Don't waste your money as I have.

### 1/5 — Booooorrrrring!!!!

*2010-06-10, version 0*

Wow what a disapointment.  Very slow!!!!!!!!! Between players. I wish I would have read the reviews first!! PleAse make it faster

### 1/5 — Needs Improvement, Has the Potential

*2009-09-08, version 0*

I have been waiting a long time for an Old Maid game for my iPod Touch, as it was one of my favorite card games as a kid. While I am glad to have this game available, it is pretty disappointing. You have only one option when you open this game: Play. No game rules, how-to, options, etc. This application is begging for an update, and I would suggest the following:1) Rules of Play: Not everyone grew up on this game and knows/remembers how it goes.2) How to Play: The extent of the game instructions is during actual gameplay; when it is your turn, a box in the top-left tells you to make as many pairs as you can. Doing away with this and having a menu option for Game Instructions would be much better from a design and usability standpoint.3) Options/Settings: At the very least, include options for the volume of background music and SFX (which are kind of cheesy). An option to listen to your own music instead of the game's music would be a welcomed addition as well.4) Characters/Players: WiFi play would be a very nice option. However, before that is added I think more importantly you should be able to not only name your own player (you are actually nameless in this game), but choose your other players from a set of CPU characters with varying, silly characteristics. You should also be able to choose how many players are in the game--every game is a group of 4 players (yourself, plus 3 others named only as Player 1, Player 2 and Player 3, without any faces or anything, just text). Old Maid can be played with 2-8 players, and that should be an option. 5) Levels: A feeling of "advancement" when you win a round, perhaps by sending you to a new setting/background/scene. The game gets very stale after playing the same exact round every time.6) Graphics: While they aren't terrible, they aren't all that great either. The card characters look very much like cheap free clipart sketches dating back to the 80's, and not in a nostalgic way. They could definitely use some refinement or, better yet, replace them altogether with cute, more-modern graphics to match the look of the rest of the game. The background during gameplay and the main "menu" have a distinct style to them and the cards look out of place inside all of that. On the main menu, when you touch the two trees, they "bounce"... for no reason at all. An unnecessary and somewhat confusing effect that can be discarded altogether.Again, it's good to see this game finally made it to the iPod Touch/iPhone. I hope the developers work to make it even better. I don't want to be too harsh, but I honestly don't think it is worth 99 cents in its current version. Some well-planned updates could drastically change that and make it a steal for 99 cents. Lots of potential here!

### 2/5 — Overpriced

*2012-05-17, version 1.2.0*

This app is overpriced because it's the only old maid game in the app store. Not very fun.

### 2/5 — JJ

*2012-04-28, version 1.2.0*

Good game

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2017-08-24, version 1.3.0*

I was hoping there would be an electronic version of the old card game I grew up with. Are used to play this with my parents and sisters when I was growing up.

I had not played it since childhood and this was a welcome game to find.  I also love the quaint old way the Old Maid is painted on the card.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-12-09, version 1.3.0*

I try to watch once the old maid leaves my hand but I lose her and eventually get her back......fun game

### 5/5 — Soooo good but....

*2016-08-30, version 1.3.0*

I love this app but the only problem is that you can't shuffle the cards so you can just track the old maid down but overall it's a good app😄😄
