No history log?
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.

“Guarantee set” setting doesn’t work?
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.
Fabulous Game
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.

Love playing, but could use ONE improvement.
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.
You can play set but it’s missing a lot
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?

Needs a major upgrade
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

Portrait mode please
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.
Rankings wanted
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

Great card game, not the best app
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.
Game not randomized adequately
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.
Wish it had a vertical mode
Love the game of set. I’ve been playing it since I was a kid in the optimal card format. Having an app is handy for solo play. I did find all the game descriptions buried in the settings somewhere. That helped. Having them more easily findable would be good. But what I really want is to be able to rotate the game and play 3 cards across and 4 down and be able to play one handed. In horizontal mode you really have to have two hands unless maybe you have gigantic hands.

The messages at the end
This used to be my favorite card game. I kept a deck at work to play in breaks. I usually had a deck in my bag at any given time. I was so excited to have the app. The messages at the end were so off putting that I stopped playing the game altogether. Seriously, who wants to read them?
Lagging
Latest version of the app lags. Takes a while to register that I’ve tapped the cards and it really interrupts the flow of the game.
No way to play against other people?
What is the point of this even at all? Add multiplayer functionality or it’s seriously useless.
Does anyone own the rights to this app? Change it!
Love the card game. Love the game as it appears in the app. Hate hate hate the discouraging messages at the end of play. I end each game feeling like an idiot. And a lot of my friends are too dumb even to play the game lol — yet I end up feeling like a pathetic loser. I think I did pretty well and the app tells me “Don’t give up!” I have a good time playing and the app tells me “Persevere and get it done!” like I just slogged through some difficult and boring task. How hard would it be to either take all these messages away and say nothing OR say something encouraging like “Way to go!”? The card game that sold the rights might be able to prevail on the developers who have probably moved on to other things. As a teacher I can’t even recommend this to my students for fear of discouraging them. Get it together, Set! Try harder!

Easy way to play a classic game
I’ve been playing SET for the last fifteen or so years, mainly as the card game, and it’s always been one of my favorites. I like the app a bit more, as the portability is unbeatable. There are some things to know, as the game, like all games, has a couple quirks. (Also, I only play Classic SET with the advanced deck.)
First, there are not always sets in a given group of 12 cards, which can be frustrating if you’re new to the game. (1/33 chance, I believe.) If I don’t think there are any, I’ll start from the upper left and scan starting from card to right and all the way to end, repeating with next card (since any two cards have exactly one card that can make the three a set). Second, the way this app rewards with one, two, or three stars is intense! It takes some luck (i.e. no or almost no no set groups) to get top marks. It will take some practice to get even one star. My record is 9.6 seconds per set, but i average around 14 or 15.

Pay for ads
Kind of a bummer to pay for an app with ads (the ads are for other games by this maker, so not the worst ads possible).
I do love Set, and the app is pretty good.

Such a great game
This app is a great way to practice and improve in Set. The card game is better because you play other people, but this is a great way to improve.
Good God, I see several bad reviews for this app from snowflakes who don’t like that the comments at the end of a game don’t praise them for non-praiseworthy Set times. Trophies for everyone!

Marathon does not register
We can not get the scoring to save on the achievements for the marathon with advanced deck. We have finished the hand with a 1 and 2 star hands.
Absolute crap
Game present unsolvable combinations. I screen captured and sent to friends thinking I was going daft. No. Just a crappy app
