### 3/5 — No history log?

*2024-10-24, version 1.8*

Great game but it needs to show my all my recent times. It only shows my all time fastest time. It doesn’t even show me how long ago it was I got that time. I can’t tell when the last time I was even close to beating my own best time. There’s no history. Nor does it show anyone else’s times.

And also, it has ads, even though it’s a paid game. Not a deal breaker but seems odd to me.

### 4/5 — “Guarantee set” setting doesn’t work?

*2023-02-18*

Sometimes there’s no set even when I select the “guarantee set” setting. There’s no “no set” button either, so maybe consider installing a “no no set button button”( ???) or just fix the program so it makes sure there’s always a set when I use this option. Overall the game is amaz.

### 5/5 — Fabulous Game

*2023-02-16*

This is a fabulous version of this game. I used to play it with my middle school students during recess. They have a beginners level and advanced level, so you can train newcomers to the game on the strategy for playing. You also have the option of getting a hint if you’re stuck. Very well done and easy to play. Once I started, I couldn’t stop.

### 4/5 — Love playing, but could use ONE improvement.

*2022-07-07*

This is very well done — a great and authentic version of the card game.  But, I would love to see one improvement over the card game. Why not program it so the player is told (if s/he wants to be) when there are no sets?  This would make the app even better than the card game.

### 3/5 — You can play set but it’s missing a lot

*2022-03-17*

Pros: a functioning digital version of the game set

Cons: This app feels like it was made and then abandoned, the UI is hideous, you can only play on a horizontal screen, no multiplayer functionality and there’s weird messages like ‘do better next time’ or ‘you need a hug’ at the end of rounds, just sort of bizarre and discouraging?

### 3/5 — Needs a major upgrade

*2021-12-17*

This is my favorite game in the world and I play it every day.. but this app needs a MAJOR upgrade. It feels like I’m playing a game from the 2000’s. There’s no shuffle option, & the interface is rudimentary and sometimes there’s no sets even with 15-18 cards 

Also I’d love to see other peoples stats too

### 4/5 — Portrait mode please

*2021-08-26*

I’ve been a SET fan for nearly twenty years….this rendition still scratches the itches. My number one recommendation: allow play in portrait orientation, not just landscape.

### 5/5 — Rankings wanted

*2021-08-04*

I would love to see my place in global rankings of time per set for each category (classic, marathon, etc). It would be very exciting since the star ratings are not that challenging. Otherwise it is a great game and a perfect app. Everyone I know refuses to play with me, so I like competing against myself xD

### 2/5 — Great card game, not the best app

*2021-06-16*

I was hoping you could play against other people or a robot. Or at least go through a decent sized deck of cards. I get through a round in like 20 seconds. I was just expecting better from a paid app.

### 1/5 — Game not randomized adequately

*2021-01-02, version 1.8*

This was such a womp womp. Not only can you not play with friends, but the game assumes that you are an idiot and cannot possibly handle more than a 1-2-3 same shape, color, pattern combo. Literally. Every round. Unimpressed.

## Frequently asked questions about SET® Mania

### What is SET Mania?

SET Mania is the official mobile application for the award-winning SET card game. It allows players to enjoy the game on their iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. The game challenges players to identify sets of three cards where each individual feature (color, shape, number, and shading) is either all the same or all different.

### What are the different game modes available?

SET Mania offers three distinct game play options: Classic SET, where you find all sets in a deck as quickly as possible; SET Puzzle, which challenges you to find a specific number of sets within a limited card layout; and Sprint SET, where you aim to find the most sets within a set time limit.

### Is there a cost to play SET Mania?
