### 4/5 — Love SET  game.  HATE the music!

*2025-11-03*

The music you are forced to hear really is stupid.  Could the default be off?  The game signs me in, could it remember I want sound off?  And why music anyway?  Whatsa point ?   Sets have zero musical content.  Annoying.  But worse, this company has no feedback channel!  No email! No comments section.  So all i can do is write a review.   The GAME IS WONDERFUL!   Daily mind exercise.  LOVE IT.   HATE THE DUMB GONG MUSIC…

### 4/5 — Great game option

*2018-08-23, version 1.11*

Please, please update the app with a plain background option! 
Otherwise fantastic game!!

### 4/5 — Good game, sometimes buggy

*2015-01-13, version 1.9*

Great implementation of the game, but I get weird bugs sometimes. I just had one where the game over dialogue blinks over and over again, in an infinite loop.

### 3/5 — Can't sign in

*2013-11-11, version 1.9*

I keep getting an error when trying to sign in with Facebook.  :(

Also, how do you delete player names?
Is there a way to restart the stats?

### 4/5 — Iphone compatibility please!

*2013-11-06, version 1.9*

I love this game, and I got this version because it was from Set Enterprises, Inc. But I just found out that there is another app by Jayanthi Valluru, which is also compatible with Iphone. It would be great to have this app in my phone too... Thanks.

### 3/5 — Glitches need fixing

*2012-01-20, version 1.6*

I love this game...that said, sometimes it either stops dealing more cards or doesn't recognize that there isn't a set there. As a result, I get a horrible time while try to get it to work.  Very frustrating!

### 4/5 — Game center?

*2011-11-21, version 1.5*

Great game! I own the real card version, but I have to say that I enjoy playing it on the iPad as well.
Implementation is clean, works great.
There is one important feature missing though, it is the ability to play against remote players. In my opinion, this would make it a 5-star game.

### 4/5 — Great game, couple complaints.

*2011-09-11, version 1.5*

Love the variations and interface for all modes of this classic game!  However, there is a glitch that makes using the IPod during gameplay a hassle; and please give some options for the background. The fuzzy woodgrain is offensive to look at.

### 5/5 — Excellent Thinking Game!

*2011-05-27*

I have been hoping that there would be an app. for this game and now there is! I highly recommend this game to people wether from this app. or to at least get this game in real life other than the app. Also good for teachers to get for their kids or anybody who works with kids and parents for their kids. Good for all people, kids and grown ups and will challenge anyone to not have a lazy brain. Also there doesn't seem to be any bad bugs or defects in the app. and seems to run pretty good. 5 stars for sure from me.

### 5/5 — So exceptional!!

*2011-05-24*

I was introduced to the card game about 12 years ago, and my sister and I each kept a deck in our purses, just in case a party or bored moment cropped up.  Now I have it on my fabulous iPad! 

A couple of things I would love to have:  1) ability to keep listening to iPod music.  2) stats that evaluate how long it takes you to find each type of SET (for instance, 1-2-3 solid squiggles of the same color is easier to see than an all-different set...) 3) different backgrounds... Even all-black... I'm tired of the smeared burl wood background.

I have only EVER found ONE really super-rare bug (it happened when the final 15 cards in a Classic Full Deck game was no-set... An extreme rarity!) which I will email to you... And that bug just requires that the game be reset. :) 

Excellent programming.  I was initially a little hesitant about the price ($7.99) but after buying it for myself, gifted it to my boyfriend, too!

### 4/5 — Great game.

*2011-03-22, version 1.4*

Im a big fan of the card game and this version doesn't disappoint. It would be nice if you could change the background color to something other than that brown.

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2015-06-18, version 1.9*

Nice app but for $5.00 why is it not shareable? I have a few children and it isn't right to require a separate purchase for each device in the house. Greed pure and simple and in my opinion WRONG!!!!

### 1/5 — App hijacks my music

*2014-12-26, version 1.9*

This app won't let me listen to my music at the same time as I play the game , even when I turn the sound off in the game settings. Makes me really mad. Super lame, guys. I did not pay to listen to your sound effects, I paid to play SET!

### 2/5 — Warning: Had to purchase TWICE - NOT HAPPY!

*2016-09-12*

Purchased and downloaded on my iPad Air.  Wanted to use on another device since it is smaller (Mini) and wasn't listed on my purchased apps.  So deleted on Air hoping it would be available in my purchased apps.  No such luck....had to purchase again to get onto my Mini.  And now it's not on my Air anymore. Not happy. LOVE the game, play with my students, but feel ripped off by the company.  Purchased twice but still only have it on one device. Why can't I use on multiple devices? Why didn't it stay in my purchased apps?

### 2/5 — Not "HD", not "Pro"

*2015-04-04, version 1.9*

Set is a brilliant, classic game. This is a poor adaptation: it hijacks your system sound and is distinctly not HD. On any iPhone or iPad with a Retina display, this "HD" version looks jagged and rough. If you want a better portable version, pick up a deck of Set cards.

### 2/5 — Flashy but clunky

*2012-01-07*

Clearly, "SET Enterprizes" put a lot of effort into this game. Menus and gameplay are riddled with annoying transitions and animations. They provide you with over half a dozen gaudy backgrounds. There are new gameplay modes aren't much fun.

Sadly, they neglected to make a user interface that works on a tablet. The buttons are too small, every operation feels like it takes two taps too many, and the main menu is convoluted. Oh, and of course it doesn't remember your deck preference and asks you every time.

Multiplayer is especially awful. The "buzz in" button for each player is extremely tiny and in the heat of the moment will probably take several attempts to activate.

Personally, I'd much prefer a simpler app. Merely ask us for the number of players and let the game begin. Settings need only include the deck (basic or full) and game end preference (marathon mode with time or number of points, or classic deck). And of course no stupid flips or dealing animations, sounds, achievements, or rule variation - just blissful gameplay.

### 2/5 — Another disappointing implementation of a great card game.

*2011-12-27*

It's unfortunate to see this classic card game beleaguered by another shoddy software implementation. Focuses more on frills like annoying animation of cards sliding while being dealt, intro music, and background images than actual gameplay; still lacks a setting to remember your preference to turn off the dumbed-down version of the game. Visual design is amateurish - even the splash screen content is misaligned from the actual rendered content on launch. Deleting this app.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2010-11-25, version 0*

I love this game as a card game. When playing with cards you can add a card when there are no sets. In this iPad game you can't add a card when there are no sets, instead you have to start the game over. It happens four out of five games.

### 3/5 — Good but…

*2021-12-24*

An option to hide the timer would be very welcome. Having an ever-present timer turns a leisurely game between friends or with oneself into a some kind of competition against the clock. When one is simply playing with the cards, one doesn’t have to actively try to ignore the changing timer.

### 3/5 — Bunch of would-be easy-to-fix oversights ruin it for me

*2015-06-06*

1- I learned to play with the cards oriented vertically, not horizontally, within a 4-wide, 3-tall grid. I really feel my play suffers using this foreign layout. Can there please be a rotate toggle??
2- as many others have said, you can't listen to music while playing (?!??!!!!)
3- why in the hell does the game insist on repeatedly reverting to a "simple" deck!? Nobody who purchased this game wants that stupid feature.

### 3/5 — Please fix music bug

*2015-01-03, version 1.9*

I love this game, but it's really frustrating that it shuts off my music.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good game but...

*2015-01-02, version 1.9*

No need to buy because you can play it for free online

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2014-10-08, version 1.9*

Fantastic game. I only wish it didn't give away whether there are additional sets once the deck runs out by saying game over if there are none.

### 5/5 — Fun to play Sets

*2014-05-12, version 1.9*

I have the card game & love being able to play on my IPad!  Great for developing math skills in everyone! So fun no one would ever guess how educational it is! Worth every penny!

### 5/5 — Great Puzzle Game

*2013-08-19*

I have played your computer games and card games so I was very happy to find this for the iPad.  Can't sign into Facebook though or put name in. Still says anonymous. Other than that gameplay is perfect.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-05-30, version 1.9*

Good game I loved it

### 5/5 — Great game

*2012-10-19, version 1.6*

Very entertaining. Very simple. Lots of ways to play.

### 5/5 — Tons of fun for major geeks

*2012-03-31, version 1.6*

And who is that guy called Jeff Quinn? His records look insane. 

Warning: this game is for major geeks, not for normal people. The achievement in Basic Marathon mode seems impossible to reach.

### 5/5 — Finally!!

*2012-01-08*

Finally Set is on the iPad. I've been a fan of the game for a long time and this iPad version is perfect! I love the Tutorial to teach it to new people. The game has multiple modes which are all challenging and fun. It also keeps track of different achievements for you. You can play the classic game solo or with 2 to 4 friends. Overall I am very satisfy with the app. It would be nice to have an iPhone version too.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2012-01-01, version 1.6*

No problems with the app. Works well. Lots of fun.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2011-07-17*

I've been playing the original Set card game since 1992. It's easily the best designed new card game I've ever seen. Wonderful for teaching kids to think logically but also to "think out of the box", and a great way to keep your mind active and alert. This adaptation to the iPad is fabulous. No more dealing out cards, straightening them out, etc. More time to just play Set and have a ball. I don't usually write reviews, but this one is worth every penny and more. LOVE IT!!
