This needs fixing. ### 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? ### 3/5 — Local issues *2023-01-22, version 1.6.0* Can’t get local to work. The phones keep searching. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Bugs! Lots of bugs! *2019-07-07, version 1.5.12* I’ve been playing on this app for a long time now. Love it. Recently, I have seen lots of bugs. Playing against Dave, I discarded a 4 of diamonds, which Dave picked up and then magically, he got scat. ? Then, I picked up a King of diamonds and discarded a 5 of spades. Magically, the King of diamonds disappeared leaving a three of hearts in its place. No idea where these bugs have come from, but you need to fix them! ### 3/5 — No 3 of a kind? *2019-06-25, version 1.5.12* It’s fun, just kind of bummed no three-of-a-kind in this particular game. ### 4/5 — Great Game *2018-12-31, version 1.5.12* Enjoyed playing scat with my old grandmother. She passed away 15 years ago. She would have enjoy the online version but not as much as having her friends or grandchildren around. It would be awesome if we could submit our own name and change the name of the other players. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Scat 31 *2018-12-26, version 1.5.12* Worked great until latest update. Also visually does not work with iPhone X ### 3/5 — Just OK *2018-12-20, version 1.5.12* The game itself is fine but, other than the computer players switching positions, you the real player remain in the first seat all the time. Random positions would be a benefit and make he game more interesting ### 4/5 — Thanks for new update *2018-12-06, version 1.5.12* Why are the rules different between the iPad and iPhone versions? The iPad version is the one like I grew up with. I've been playing this one for awhile and enjoying it. Now instead of occasional ads they pop up in between each hand. Also cannot change background, card backs or faces. Go back to the old version. Based on the new one I wouldn't ever consider buying it.ad problem corrected. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2017-03-06, version 1.5.7* It would be nice if this app would just let you play cards. 9 hands out of 10 the CPU knocks before I even have a chance to pick up a single card! You lose before you've even played. Needs improvements!!! ### 2/5 — Wifi only with Game Center☹️️ *2016-09-20, version 1.5.7* Please give the ability to play multiplayer when on cellular network. Otherwise awesome, thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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??? ### 1/5 — Double tap does not work *2019-10-27, version 1.5.12* I am never given the option to double tap the felt to knock. I try before I draw. I try after I draw. I try after I discard. Nothing works. Since this was a complaint in the reviews years ago, I assume they will never fix it. Deleting app. There are plenty others to choose from. ### 1/5 — Just charge us and remove the adds!!!!! *2018-08-21, version 1.5.7* Stop all the intrusive adds!!!!!! I like this app but the ads that cover my cards is frustrating and makes me stop enjoying the game therefore I stop playing. Why don't you understand it's your adds that piss people off about your app!! We would be happy to pay a buck or two for an otherwise great product! ### 1/5 — Great game *2017-10-24, version 1.5.7* A great game sadly now spoilt by adverts that take up the bottom quarter of the screen. Even when you close the advert a screen about advert preferences stays on and you can’t get rid of it. It’s a shame. ### 1/5 — Booooo *2017-03-07, version 1.5.7* This game was great till they updated it. So many of my friends have deleted it since... so, BOOOOO!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-02-17, version 1.5.7* This app is terrible the image is very badly put together and the computer runs the whole game you don't interact with real people😡👎🏾 ### 1/5 — Ads *2016-08-10, version 1.5.7* I loved this app until the last update, background no longer works, very intrusive ads after every hand. I couldn't take anymore and deleted it. If you add a paid ad free version I'll be back! ### 1/5 — Was a fun game *2016-08-09, version 1.5.7* Ads now that blast volume! I always play quietly. Now I can't bc of the dang ads. And still the fast function hasn't been fixed. You're going backwards developers ### 1/5 — Stinks *2016-08-07, version 1.5.7* Full of ads wrecked the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!!! ### 5/5 — Help *2023-01-12, version 1.6.0* Local games amongst friends don’t seem to work anymore…please fix ### 5/5 — Seating? *2020-04-19, version 1.5.12* Would love to see random assignment of seats for multiplayer game and add a 5th player. Also seems that first seat wins more often than any seat. ### 5/5 — Really good clean fun *2019-12-26, version 1.5.12* Been playing this game for literally years now. Was one of the first games I ever got and that says something. As a 50+ man this has always been my go to. I highly recommend investing in the no ads where there is oh my gosh... NO ADS!! Enjoy... ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2019-04-08, version 1.5.12* The “other” players seem to have their own idiosyncrasies which makes it an interesting challenge depending on who you’re playing against. For example, Vera tends to tap early in a game. Chuck tends to get higher value cards and often beats me. ### 5/5 — Great! *2019-02-14, version 1.5.12* No issues with performance and has game play options that other Apps didn’t offer! ### 5/5 — Scat *2019-01-08, version 1.5.12* This game is awesome ### 5/5 — Love Update *2018-12-19, version 1.5.12* The last update was great. Cards are easier to read and the placement of the banner is much better. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Scat *2016-08-08, version 1.5.6* I love the game but I would rather pay $5.00 for it than to have to deal with the scrolling advertising. The advertising scrolls at the bottom of the screen just where you have to press to play again and often I hit the ad line because it pops up. It really iratates me. Also they have added commercials after nearly every hand. They ruined a great game. ### 5/5 — Good game! *2015-09-29, version 1.5.1* Good way to kill some time. Fun game, but Dave is a total douche lol. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
