### 4/5 — 3 of a kind flaw

*2026-01-11, version 1.6.0*

The game only flaw, despite being soo good is that 3 of a kind, should 31.5(others would say 30), but there has been multiple instances, where the game didn’t register that. This needs fixing.

### 5/5 — Needs to be more like the real game

*2025-05-17, version 1.6.0*

1).  When you knock and lose, you should pay double.
2).  The first person to lose all of the tokens/points should get one extra turn (known as being on their honor).  It’s only for the first person or persons that lose their tokens.  This is what started the saying; “People on their honor have been known to win”.
3).  You should have a choice to start with either three tokens or four tokens. When we play if you start with three tokens, we use the first person out on a rule (see second suggestion above).

Great game, I have been playing Scat for over 45 years.

Thank you for a great game/experience!!!

### 3/5 — Fix the online play

*2025-02-06, version 1.6.0*

The overall game play is good i have no complaints about that but over half of the games i play online with friends crash halfway through the game and we have to close out and start over. Also it would be nice if it allowed you to play online using data instead of WiFi.

### 4/5 — Can’t play

*2024-12-04, version 1.6.0*

I never can connect with other online players. Can this be corrected and how so?

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-04-02, version 1.6.0*

Not all features work as they should. Settings show you can change the background and other things, yet it’s nowhere to be found. Also doesn’t connect for playing with friends.

### 3/5 — Local issues

*2023-01-22, version 1.6.0*

Can’t get local to work. The phones keep searching.

### 5/5 — Help

*2023-01-12, version 1.6.0*

Local games amongst friends don’t seem to work anymore…please fix

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2021-04-18, version 1.5.12*

I can forgive the simplistic graphics, but I lost with 3 queens as the AI claimed my score was 10???

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2021-01-29, version 1.5.12*

I played this game a few years ago but In the most recent iteration it is lacking .
Also the cpu wins more often than the user by playing me low value cards. Also by now you should include 301/2 points for three of a kind. It is very stable and otherwise a good game. Taking a break. Would pay if it improved

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2021-01-23, version 1.5.12*

Overall it’s fun but it lost options to change the game rules to your liking but doesn’t allow you to change them. You can’t do three of a kind or lay day with anything under 21
