### 4/5 — Very close to the original

*2026-08-17, version 3.1.7*

I’ve played spite and malice for 60 years. This game is very close to the game I was taught.  The minor difference in the discard rules is the only thing I would change.

### 4/5 — Mildly stimulating waste of your life

*2026-08-11, version 3.1.7*

For when you want to avoid life, yet don't have enough time for Netflix

### 3/5 — 3 stars but could be 5 if they just fixed the multiplayer

*2026-07-20, version 3.1.7*

One of my favourite card games brought to the App Store, but the multiplayer doesn’t work at all, all I want to do is play spite and malice with my GF and I just doesn’t work

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2026-07-16, version 3.1.7*

Fun game! Wish it didn’t crash so much on
my iPhone

### 4/5 — AWFUL "Upgrade"

*2026-07-14, version 3.1.7*

PLEASE allow me to revert to old version of the game!!!  I can't stand the "upgrade/enhancement".  I do not like the display option of the cards.  Having the cards in my hand look as if I have them in my hand does NOT WORK.   They are hard to choose from in play and the tilt is the worst!!!  The disproportionate sizes if the cards in the working pile compared to the discard pile and those in my hand makes it hard to scan my options.  Please revert back these "enhancements" which are anything but in enhancements.  Why must I be stuck with this new version ?  I won't be playing this game at all anymore because it is so awful now.  Be warned all!  Do not upgrade!!!  You will regret it!

### 4/5 — Addictive

*2026-07-07, version 3.1.7*

A great solo or two person card game!

### 5/5 — Have loved this game since 1970

*2026-07-05, version 3.1.7*

I learned this game at college in 1970.   This is a great wsy to play it.  I even gifted it to friends who also love it!!!

### 5/5 — Also frustrated

*2026-07-05, version 3.1.7*

I also have played this very addicting game for many years now. When the spiteful level first appeared, I was in the top 10 for mini months until some type of cheating started and the scores appeared in the hundreds of thousands overnight. Most frustrating, however, is when the glitches started appearing and, although my score remain, the stats disappeared when I had to delete and reinstall the game. That being said I love love love this game.

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-07-05, version 3.1.7*

Fun

### 5/5 — My Go-To App

*2026-07-04, version 3.1.7*

Spit & Malice has been a favorite card game for over 50 years. This app has the best AI, and no ads since I purchased it years ago. Over the past few days, the app would crash before it opened but today I updated Apple OS and all is well. Thanks for the fun!

### 5/5 — Enjoyable game

*2026-07-03, version 3.1.7*

5 stars

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-06-19, version 3.1.7*

I like the turn based part of this game. You can play with a friend far away.

### 5/5 — We need bug fixes

*2026-06-12, version 3.1.7*

Loved this game for years now, it’s become glitchy and won’t log into the Game Center so I can play with friends or online. It also crashes regularly then it has to recover the game and sometimes that freezes for a while too. Even with all the glitches I still spend a lot of time playing, it’s my favorite.

### 5/5 — Good fun.

*2026-06-04, version 3.1.7*

Love this game.

### 1/5 — Game freeze

*2026-07-11, version 3.1.7*

I’d like to give this game a higher rating because I really do enjoy it but it keeps freezing up on me. I’ve had to reinstall and start over and I just can’t depend on it to work. Update: Freeze up number three. Have to reinstall it if I want to play anymore. Level 5 this time. Update: Uninstall/Reinstall again. Made it to level 6 this time. 02/12/2026 Level 4 again 03/01/2026 Level 4 again. Just freezes up. 03/26/2026 Level 5 this time. Why won’t you fix these issues?! 04/11/2026 05/09/2026 level 4 again
06/19/2026 Level 4 once again. I’m already playing less, one of these days I’ll just delete it since y’all don’t seem to be able to fix the major glitches.
07/10/2026 I don’t think I’ll ever get beyond level 4. That’s when it always freezes and I have to reinstall and start over.

### 1/5 — Fun but I have some suggestions…..

*2026-04-07, version 3.1.7*

1) allow more than two players to play at a time 2) don’t be stingy - include the spiteful level in the purchase price
3) I don’t know what is going on with the app but on the past fee weeks there are numerous occassions when it does not resppnd to touch. I know it is not my phone because everything else works without issue.

### 1/5 — freezes

*2026-03-13, version 3.1.7*

it used to be a good game, I don't know what happened but the last two weeks every time I open the game it freezes haven't been able to play they get it working properly I'll give it a better rating I used play this every day for hours and now I can't even get the game to open freeze all the time  i had to delete the game and re-install   lost my last 3 years of progress ,, back at the beginning    I reinstalled the game I played for two days and now it's doing same thing so I had to delete it again and I paid to have no ads the latest update ruined it. I downgrade it to one star

### 1/5 — No longer connects with friends

*2026-03-13, version 3.1.7*

This used to be a game I played nearly daily.  But for awhile it’s been unable to connect with friends who have the game and freezes and crashes a fair amount.

### 5/5 — Spite and Malach

*2026-08-08, version 3.1.7*

I play this game daily with my friend from a different state. Love it. Just wish they would add a chat or comments onto the game.  I wish you’d go back to old format where you start a game and it email the player…like it used too. Also wanynbhaotbriim

Love the challenge and different levels.👍🏼👍🏼

### 5/5 — My fave!

*2026-07-24, version 3.1.7*

I grew up playing this game, and love that it's available on my phone and iPad. The fact that I can take my time deciding moves makes it more relaxing than speed games, and I’ve developed strategies that have really improved my IRL game. I’ve been playing the hardest level for over a year, and I’m ready for more. Level up, please?

### 5/5 — Spite and Malice
