### 3/5 — SCOPA!

*2026-07-03, version 8.1*

whoever created this game obviously made a cheat algorithm. Too many coincidences that seem unfair. I’m not going to brag about this game to anyone until fixes are made.

### 4/5 — Please read if you own the game

*2026-05-17, version 8.1*

The thing is I do not know how to play with your friends

### 3/5 — Good but buggy

*2026-02-27, version 8.1*

Love this game, have played for decades. This version is pretty buggy. I still like it but would like to see improvements. Sometimes it won’t let me click on the cards, won’t put them into play, or I have a hand of extra cards

### 3/5 — Software needs some work. Game hangs up   Cards should snap to grid

*2026-01-02, version 7.1*

Nice game but needs work

### 4/5 — Great game for sure

*2025-10-01, version 7.1*

When you score a scopa can you show it on the screen just like the computer scores. For example the orange circle says scopa!

### 4/5 — Just learning

*2025-06-03, version 7.1*

I'm just learning, but it's cool to find a new game to play. It seems to have a nice interface, but I'd love to get rid of the ad at the bottom. I don't see a pay version for this. Update 2024: Game is now sluggish, taking forever to respond to your selections. Update 2025: still sluggish, just used to it by now. Doesn’t show your Scopas with the gold coin anymore, just the opponents.

### 5/5 — good

*2025-01-17, version 7.0*

easy to use   addictive   too easy

### 4/5 — Feedback from my Mom

*2025-01-05, version 7.0*

We just upgraded my mom’s phone and now there is a two second delay after she makes her card selection. We changed the speed in settings but that only changed the dealer speed. Unsure if there’s a fix or if I’m missing a setting?

### 5/5 — Need to adjust response time

*2025-01-05, version 7.0*

I have a new IPhone 16 and the response time hesitates to move the Scopa cards off the screen. It is much slower than my old IPhone 8. Can this be adjusted.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-11-11, version 7.0*

I love the game Scopa and play with friends as often as I can. I have introduced the game to dozens of people.

### 5/5 — Excellent game.

*2024-10-30, version 7.0*

Very good game and fun to play.
Thanking you for having it to play.

### 5/5 — Scopa

*2024-09-28, version 7.0*

Excellent game. Right speed, visible cards and easy to follow. I am having hours and hours of fun! Excellent to improve  short time memory to delay or avoid Alzheimer. I memorize all cards from 7 to 10. Just two things wrong with the rules: the player who takes all the cards at the end of the game, in Italy is counted as a point in favor of that player. Secondly, if one card is left on the table, you make a  Scopa; that scopa is not counted as a scopa! Thank you

### 4/5 — Not completely up to scratch

*2024-07-04, version 7.0*

It has 4 stars because the ads are tiny and unobtrusive.  

It looses a point because many times when I have put out a card to pick up the matching card, it dies not pick up the matching card and leaves it on the table.   For example the most recent example is, I played the card 4. There was a 4 on the table. The program kept my four on the table  and “the 2nd player “ takes my four after my turn. AND what should of been a match. 

It becomes increasingly frustrating because you cannot correct the wrong move the program has made. 

It has happened many many many times. If they fix this glitch, they get a 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Problème sous iOS

*2024-07-02*

Bonjour Sur un IPad Pro, je rencontre depuis une mise à jour un dysfonctionnement de type ralentissement de la vitesse d’animation et la disparition de la pris de jeton de la Scopa, uniquement pour le joueur Sud, c à dire, l’utilisateur. J’ai réinstallé, rien n’y fait. Merci de votre avis. C’est bien dommage car le jeu est excellent ! Cordialement SM

### 1/5 — Too many issues, no SCOPA!

*2026-08-02, version 8.1*

whoever created this game obviously made a cheat algorithm. Too many coincidences that seem unfair. I’m not going to brag about this game to anyone until fixes are made.
Scores are completely off.

### 1/5 — Ads on the app show porn!

*2026-03-07, version 8.1*

Seriously… porn ads?!

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2026-01-25, version 8.1*

This app was great until it was “improved” to the point where it can’t perform its basic function. Last time I tried the lag insufferable.

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2025-03-10, version 7.1*

The game has become very slow. Not sure if the newest software update has affected the game. It's very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Abusive trackers that ignore your consent requests

*2024-05-27*

Unless you accept to be tracked and have your data sent to a million ad companies you will be show a form each and every time you try to play. You need to toggle off at lest 50 different buttons each time. Stay away!

### 1/5 — Unable to know the other side cards

*2024-02-03, version 6.2*

I love playing Scopa BUT my cards are always awful and the other players always has good cards, I don’t think it’s fair!

### 1/5 — Scopa

*2024-01-28, version 6.2*

After playing this game for about a month or so I noticed some patterns whether the computer won or I won
So instead of trying to win the game I just repeatedly played the cards dealt from left to right no matter what card was on the board and the percentage of wins for myself and the computer remain pretty close to the same. the coding needs some improvement

### 1/5 — Non rappresenta il vero gioco

*2023-08-20, version 6.1*

Quando si gioca a scopone si gioca sempre e solo contro il computer e inoltre mette 4 carte a terra, cosa che a scopone non si fa normalmente.

### 1/5 — Bewertung auf Verlangen

*2023-08-11*

Nervige Aufforderung, eine Bewertung abzugeben.

### 1/5 — Game

*2023-04-30, version 6.0*

This game doesn’t follow the rules of the game. The computer only gives me the cards that he wants and favors the other player. Doesn’t play fairly

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fun and aggravating the best interment keeps me engaged great entertainment, 😊

*2026-08-08, version 8.1*

Keeps me entertained with. A smile but I don’t like the red background green is easier on the eyes

### 5/5 — best scopa

*2026-05-06, version 8.1*

simple interface, no interrupting ads, challenging and fun

### 5/5 — Cheats

*2026-03-25, version 8.1*

Cards are supposed to be random but how can you choose a skill level without removing the randomness? 
To make it more of less challenging you have to manipulate the dealing of the cards.

### 5/5 — Perfect time waster

*2026-02-05, version 8.1*

So nice to have an app that has unobtrusive ads, no need for in app purchases, and just works. 

Nice to have all of the regional card variations too. 

Great app, scopa is such a fun game. Can’t ask for more.

### 5/5 — Danke!
