### 3/5 — Fun game no annoying ads. But Crashes alot

*2024-01-28, version 1.1.1*

President is my favorite. Great to have a game without ads but this game crashes constantly right at the end. 
Also 5 Aces??? I have screenshot i had 3 aces and another player lays 2 aces?? The players are not very competitive. I play this with friends a lot in real life. I never win this much. I have to have a really bad hand to lose this one.

### 3/5 — One issue I don’t like

*2024-01-11, version 1.1.1*

I play solo and it always passes around to begin to each player except to me. I never start. Would be nice if you could fix that.

### 3/5 — Crash

*2022-09-09, version 1.1.0*

The game crashes too much

### 3/5 — App crashes non stop

*2021-12-05, version 1.0.2*

Love the idea! My kids and I play palace quite a bit, however the app continuously crashes and there no way to pick up where you were before the crash. So everyone playing has to restart a game if only one person’s app crashes.

### 3/5 — Playcards

*2020-03-25, version 1.0.0*

I can’t seem to make this work on my iPad. Any suggestions ? It works great on my iPhone though.

### 3/5 — Bad Scoring

*2020-03-16, version 1.0.0*

Sometimes games are not scored. Recording is off.

### 3/5 — Problem

*2020-03-14, version 1.0.0*

It’s kind of annoying that you have to friend somebody just to play with a real person please make multiplayer matchmaking so you can play with Radom people around the world please

### 1/5 — Completely stacked against the human

*2025-07-24, version 1.1.3*

Completely stacked against the human, and therefore not fun at all. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Idk how this has good reviews

*2021-05-01, version 1.0.2*

This app kept closing randomly and freezing randomly and I was only playing with one other person...

### 1/5 — Crashes, 1 round games

*2020-08-28, version 1.0.2*

This game crashes after you finish a game, and if it doesn’t you can’t continue to play without going to the menu. In the game president there are rules for after round 1 so yeah this app is trash.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2019-12-28, version 1.0.0*

App keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Why does the queen always win?

*2019-11-08, version 1.0.0*

When I play crazy 8 why does “the queen” ALWAYS win?

### 1/5 — Flat out horrible game

*2019-04-20, version 0.5.1*

The game is very bad for the following reasons: the rules of each card game you play is very stupid, the cards in your hand are very big and you have to scroll through them, you cards are not sorted

### 2/5 — Gotta do something

*2021-11-12, version 1.0.2*

Can’t see the cards in your hand at once it’s not easy to play. Rough needs work. Sorry

### 2/5 — Constantly crashes

*2020-04-13, version 1.0.0*

Crashes consistently.  Constantly crashes. Never stops crashing. However you’d like to say it. Whenever you play three cards at a time in Palace it crashes.

Also, in Palace the computer players can see their bottom hidden cards. They play them in an order that is best for them always and even play two of the same card at the same time.

### 2/5 — Chatting

*2019-06-02, version 1.0.0*

Would get nice to be able to chat

### 3/5 — Crashes all the time!

*2025-11-13, version 1.1.3*

Love the app but it crashes all the time or freezes and you have to close and reload, quite annoying!

### 5/5 — Palace

*2024-04-15, version 1.1.3*

My friends and I love palace but we play where when an ace is played you can choose to give the stack to another player this could also be countered if they play an ace. Other than that love the game

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.2*

This app rocks. Socially distanced cards with friends while on Zoom. Was almost like we were there. Thanks! Only feedback is: I wish I could cheat because none of my friends follow the suit and count cards. Lol.

### 5/5 — Simple cards games with no ads

*2020-01-21, version 1.0.0*

Simple

### 5/5 — THESE GAMES ARE ADDICTING

*2019-12-31, version 1.0.0*

I love the crazy 8 mode it’s like uno and I stayed up all night until my phone died playing the crazy 8 game

### 5/5 — This app is actually amazing

*2019-12-26, version 1.0.0*

I don’t know why nobody has used this, the app has nice animations, and it works perfectly with friends on iOS devices, I’d definitely recommend to other people

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-05-13, version 1.1.3*

Wish you could play with computer players while playing with a friend

### 4/5 — Crashes all the time

*2020-12-14, version 1.0.2*

Love to play but it randomly just crashes all the time. I’d say about 3 in 5 games played will crash where the app either freezes or closes. Very frustrating. Would be great if it gets fixed.

### 4/5 — Problems laying 3 9’s

*2020-04-17, version 1.0.0*

Problems laying multiple cards

### 4/5 — Looks great but

*2020-04-09, version 1.0.0*

... palace crashes on every game we’ve tried. Great until that point. Haven’t managed to finish a single game yet :( please fix!
