This games need to put a faster timer on this game. Also, I was on phase 10 and the game froze me and I could not play.I am playing this game as I type there is a player that is intentionally slow playing I want to be able to make her play faster and I also want to be able to block her from playing in the same table as I am. Her name is Roxi Please fix the players time slow players are ruining this game. I was playing tonight and the game just froze. By the way, why can’t you do something about players playing so slow. Please put a timer on them slow players are ruining this game, some do it on purpose .

Good game but could use some upgraded features
1. Gameplay WILL BE SLOW if another player consistently uses the time on the play clock before taking their turn. Other than leaving the game, there is NOTHING you can do about it. You can not even “vote them out”.
2. THE COINS ARE USELESS. You cannot purchase anything like in-game upgrades or new features with them.
3. If you do want to be a “high roller”, the only way to increase the number of coins to “bet/play” is to hold down an arrow button and watch it count by tens. THERE ARE NO PRESET AMOUNTS (10, 100, 250, 500, 1000…). For example, If you want to play 100k coins, you have to keep your finger on the arrow for approximately 2:00 MINUTES! Once you have your 100k coin bet and click to start a game, IF ANOTHER PLAYER QUITS, you are AUTOMATICALLY RETURNED TO THE START SCREEN, YOUR BET IS ERASED and you have to sit there ANOTHER 2 MINUTES to place your bet again! I have had this scenario REPEATED TWICE before actually getting to the game play. So, THERE WENT 6+ MINUTES OF MY TIME!!
4. The pre-selected chat responses could REALLY use some reworking. When trying to get another player to speed things up, “play fast” just does not cut it.

Pretty fun but AIs have poor strategy
This game is pretty fun to play - but, when playing against AI, or a game with both real players and AIs, they AI play strategy is lazy at best. For example, why does it give the exact card needed by the next player when that player has achieved the level when it should NOT be helping the next player go out. Or why does it “skip” the players that have completed the level after it has also completed it? Shouldn’t it skip the players who HAVEN’T completed the level so they don’t also advance? It makes zero sense. When played with only real players, these things don’t happen because people are smart and strategic but it is SO frustrating to watch these dumb moves happen by the AI - so much so that I have to quit playing the game.

Glitchy
I gave 4 stars just because phase 10 is a fun game. My family has played the card game forever - I highly recommend it irl. The app is pretty glitchy. Don’t be surprised if it freezes - then makes you watch an ad when you quit the game that you couldn’t play. What happens more often is that the bots discard what the next player needs, often to go out. The most frustrating thing is when you’re moving cards to meld, you have to be very precise or the card won’t stay where you’re trying to put it. So you have to go very slow and even then there’s no guarantee it’ll stick. It might even snap back down onto the discard pile. Playing ‘online’ with real players is slow partly because of this. It’s a long-ish game so also feels slower because the social fun of playing this game around the table is missing.

Ah! So Much Better!
I’ve never played phase 10, or at least not much. It did seem I.day familiar when I played the other one that’s on the App Store. With THAT one, I couldn’t really get any better at it because 30 second adds after every single phase was annoying and running out of energy before finishing a game might tempt some people to just spend actual money to buy some, but the gesture just pisses me off. I enjoyed playing, but had to stop for a long time for the clock to build energy and I have a life. A busy one and I use games like this during breaks to relax. It possible with the other app. This one allows me to begin a game, pause when I need to focus elsewhere and pick up right where I left off. There was a remove ads option, but it wasn’t necessary, since those ads weren’t intrusive in the least and never interrupted gameplay at all. I appreciated that so much that I bought the no ads option, just to say “thanks” for making such a beautifully simple app.
Sometimes, it feels like the AI is stacked against me, but at least it’s somewhat fair, in that it also seems stacked against others as well. This is kind of funny, since I’m playing against computers, but obvious when the one card I need keeps being discarded by the player 2 hands before me over and over, or I keep drawing the LAST card I need at each hand. It whatever. I guess card games can seem that way at times. Still a great app, with simple features, and unobtrusive ads 😊

Like it but there are issues…
It’s plays like a regular phase 10 game BUT the time out feature should kick people out of a game and let a bot take over if someone is being to slow. Playing games sometimes I just leave the game (someone who wants to play) because I’m not waiting for someone’s cards to time out every single time when they have clearly left the game.
Also I wish we could say more than just the provided “That’s impressive” or “play fast!” Sometimes you want to tell someone something this isn’t automated for you. What’s the point of the “ player started following you?” If you can’t talk to them? Seriously, someone tell me the point.
Also! I’m okay with being blocked but when you keep beating the same people they block you constantly. I was just in a game with a guy who keep blocking me and he kept sending me this emoji” 😍 “….. ughhhhh if someone can borderline harass you on the app I should be able to say something . .. idk

Better than the more popular version
I originally downloaded the Mattel version of phase 10 as I love their card game. However, the Mattel version was extremely frustrating from the long ads to needing lives to continue playing even if you’re in the middle of a game. Thus, I searched for another version of the game and found this . So far , this app has proven to be better than the Mattel version. No ridiculously long ads and you continue to play the game with no lives needed. Also the Mattel app just has too much going on for such a simple game.

CPU strategic AI is flawed but game is good overall.
Look, as far as online Phase 10 games go, this is a 5-star game. However, it has 2 massive flaws that each subtract a star.
1. Games are 1000% scripted.
Every round you’ll either get a great hand or a terrible hand. While this is possible in real games, it happens EVERY time you play this one. You’ll not be able to lay down for 3 rounds in a row, and then you’ll get 3 insta win hands to catch back up. The game is designed to trigger maximum dopamine and adrenaline levels because strong emotions are good in gaming. This is more of an online card game problem at large. You’ll either never get the one card you need, or you’ll get it at the perfect time.
2. The CPU will self-sabotage with no strategy.
The CPU will consistently discard cards that other players need despite there being no reason to.
For example: A player has a run of 9 laid down (cards 2-10), and the CPU player will discard a 1 or an 11 to them despite that being the 1 card they should not discard. There are certain times where it can be strategic to help another player go out so that a player ahead of you can’t lay down and complete the phase, but this happens regardless of the strategic benefit. It has cost me being able to complete the phase multiple times and is incredibly frustrating.

I love playing this game, BUT…
It has become strange playing the “characters“ off-line… I normally play with three that includes me. They often play a card that is very obviously one that can be played on the board by the next player. I’ve also seen time and again where the character will draw the discarded card and then lay the same card back down on the discard pile. At first, I thought it might be a fluke, but it is happening too often and makes it very frustrating to see these blunders continually occur. I hope the developers will take notice of this and program it so it doesn’t occur. I’m losing interest in playing it, which makes me sad because I do love the game.

A nice little game
I started with the official Phase 10 app but after growing incredibly frustrated with the pay-to-play features I went searching for something generic. If you want to play a basic, normal version of Phase 10 straight through without having to buy anything to continue playing then this is the game for you. The ad interruption is very minimal, I believe it only comes at the beginning and end of games (after all 10 phases are finished).
The play can be a little bit slow on the part of the computers but I actually like that because it adds to the feeling of reality. In most real life games players aren’t playing their cards at lightning speed either.
Overall, I’ve been very satisfied and this app offers just what I need. It’s nothing fancy but it’s exactly what I was looking for.

choose point amount
love this game so much that’s why I gave it a 5 star there is only one thing that I think should be changed is when you play online an you choose your point amount instead of having to hold the arrow can you fix it where you can put in amount with number be so much easier instead of holding the arrow… please maybe see about changing that

😒 Robot players
I love Phase 10 overall, but it's so frustrating when there's a robot player who gives a card to to the next player that helps that player win. For example, on the color phase, the robot gives a yellow card when the person behind them already has the yellow cards down. It is understandable if this happens once, but oftentimes it happens 4 times and of course that person wins. It is definitely an advantage to have a robot be right in front of you because they give you all the cards you need.

Like the game BUT…
So I really like this game but there some major issues I have with it. You can’t move the cards around when it’s not you turn, you can’t leave the cards your gonna use in the box, so your hand can get very cluttered, and can make it hard to see what you wanna get rid of vs what you wanna keep, it’s slow, it can be a kinda tricky to put them in the box you have to place the cards down just right, or to skip a person, if you accidentally put the cards in the wrong box you can’t just switch over to the right box, you have to cancel it, and start all over, and it’s the same phase over and over, which I get is how the actual game is played but it’s get kinda repetitious, and boring. I will probably keep the game just because it doesn’t use energy, to play a phase like it des with Phase 10.

Not bad, several updates needed
Hello.. it’s decent enough, but several updates needed 1. The coin system is pointless, just get rid of it, and track stats or something 2. having to push ok when completing the phase. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve put my cards out for the phase, and discard before clicking ok, then end up losing before I get another chance. If the phase is complete and I put it on the board, why in the world would I need a confirmation button? 3. AI needs to be revamped. Constantly discarding incorrect cards, and their use of skips is just bad. 4. The person who starts each round needs to rotate rather than the person after the person who gets rid of their cards the previous round. With no point system, there is absolutely no benefit to being the first to get rid of your cards. 5. Add the point system 6. Allow free chat, or more options (especially more on the negative side) 7. Fix online. Add a timer. Automatically boot players if they take too long, etc

Rigged!!! No luck or strategy at all!!!
This is the second time I have deleted the game. I played a few years ago and got frustrated and deleted it. There have been changes but it’s still very rigged. When you are playing against an AI behind you, there is nothing you can do. It will take cards but doesn’t lay those cards down. So you cannot use strategy, the game decides weather they win a round or not. Also I can be three phases ahead of everyone but as soon as you hit phase 7 it will make everyone catch up to you (almost every time) before it lets you wine that phase. I play because I love strategy. I know it’s also luck, but there is no luck in this game as the game completely controls the outcome!!! I’ll just download another one. Also, people that purposely use up all the time should get kicked out after 2 rounds so that the good players don’t have to leave the game out of frustration and lose their money.

Fun, but AI can be stupid
This ia a fun game, but the AI really needs some smartening up.
One mistake it always makes -and I mean every single time - is skipping the wrong player. If two players have completed the phase but not got rid of their cards yet, they should skip someone who has not gone down yet, to possibly prevent that person from going down. If the AI has completed its phase,iIt makes no sense to skip someone else who has completed the phase as well. But that’s exactly what the AI does every time.

Game shows favoritism
So aside from some of the other complaints here, I have noticed favoritism in the game. Each game, there seems to be one player that is unstoppable. Sometimes it is even myself. I believe it is because these players continually draw wild cards the whole game while others not so much. Most people have learned the strategy here as it is not difficult. So it appears that there is supernatural luck with some players that is consistent throughout the game. This is not true to life when it seems to be present on most games. Therefore, the game algorithms need to be improved when it comes to drawing cards. As I said, I have this crazy luck at times so it is not specific to any one player at all times, but rather each game.

Could be better.
Everyone is making the same comments and suggestions, and have been for years. This tells me the developer/seller doesn’t care or want to make it better. This is sad because this could be an amazing game, and with just a little fixing. So..... I’m hoping someone reading these reviews knows how to create a game, or knows someone that does. I’m also looking around. If we could create a similar game with a few changes we would hit the nail on the head! Please help me create a game this fun that actually works! Also to the seller, I have looked at other games and when I see your name I skip right on by because I know what I’ll be getting. I also want to say I don’t believe all the 5 star ratings. There is not one review that doesn’t list the same complaints, and not one review that is more than 3 stars. Where do you get the 5 stars, and where are their reviews?

Good overall
Overall, a fun game. I’d make a change to how the bots play though. Because there is no “score” based on remaining cards in your hand, the bot logic when they have completed a phase should be to skip players who have not completed a phase in that cycle. When they have a skip card, they always play it against the player/bot with fewest cards in their hand. Logically, they should skip the player still working to complete their phase. That would keep that player at bay and hopefully keep them behind or at least keep them from advancing.

Love this game
I truly like this game, however the constant lag with some players is affecting everyone’s game when playing online. It stops the timer and we just have to simply wait however long it make take or quit. Then today every turn for me, I couldn’t choose anything or place my phase or discard, i could see the timer counting down but it wouldn’t let me choose. And honestly the online play needs to be updated bc we can tell we’re playing with bots when they consistently help each other. And it’s so rigged I honestly don’t know why I play it. It’s a card game so I tried to believe that it couldn’t possibly be rigged, I just kept getting crappy hands. However EVERY 👏🏼SINGLE👏🏼TIME👏🏼I get to the two sets of four, it’s just so incredibly convenient how someone wins the round right before I get the last card I need (EVEN WHEN I BEGIN THE PHASE WITH PERFECT CARDS). I’ve played 30+ games and it’s happened every time, so I find it hard to believe that isn’t rigged. And I’m kind of irritated that I’ve lost double the money today bc your game keeps lagging. So it reset, with the same players, yet took double the money. Then I had to exit bc I couldn’t choose. Plz fix this or I will have to delete!
