### 3/5 — Good but two problems!

*2015-10-11*

I like playing this game but it must have some kind of bug because it won't let me change the number of players or the level of expertise. Very annoying! Will delete app if a fix is not made soon.

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2013-04-16, version 2.1*

Gee.  Thanks for ruining my favorite game. This was the very first game I got on my very first iPod Touch, and I have played it for years--and that's saying a lot for a game.  It was a great game that I could play for a challenge, or set it so I didn't have to think too hard, but still enjoy.  But in the last update, you ruined it.  Everything I liked about it is gone, including scores.  I know you think I'll just buy the full version, but I won't.  I'm done.

### 1/5 — Horrible update

*2013-04-15, version 2.1*

I have played this game for many years, one of my favorites...although it always had some quirky bugs. This update erased my accumulated score , is almost impossible to beat no matter how great your hand is or playing skills. Now they want you to pay an expensive premium to get more options to play. Extremely disappointed . I'm done with it:-(

### 1/5 — Current update is crap!

*2013-04-11, version 2.1*

Used to be my favorite game, but after this recent update and deleting my score that I've work on for years...I'll be deleting you right away.  Thank you for ruining what used to be a great game!

### 5/5 — SLOW - PAINFULLY SLOW

*2011-01-02, version 0*

Previous versions were great!!!
The new one is painfully slow and I don't play it anymore... Please change back as it WAS one of my favorite games..... Ouch to the new update.

### 3/5 — Takes skill

*2009-12-02, version 0*

This game is challenging and takes more than a few minutes to win. Very fun though and it's free so why wouldn't you get this app?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2009-11-26*

Lots of concentration needed! A game that keeps u occupied! Plus it's free! :)

### 3/5 — Great job!

*2009-11-26*

I love this application and with the most recent update it' just great!

### 3/5 — Slow

*2009-11-06, version 0*

Again, slow. Very slow. Please fix.

### 1/5 — zéro

*2009-10-30*

mesquin on ne peut pas faire glisser les numéro de la rangée du bas....
pour la payer ? Ca me fait l'effet inverse, me disant qu'elle ne fonctionne pas terrible !
à revoir rapidement.
