Don’t like update

I like the look and some features of the update, but hate, hate, hate that you can’t change options like number of cards and length of game. It was nearly perfect before the update. Now I doubt I’ll be playing much. Which makes me sad because I loved this game!

Not a fan of the update!

Why did this wonderful game change from the original? I loved the other version but this one is bland. Where are the sound effects? Where is the fun jazz theme music? NOT A FAN OF THIS VERSION AT ALL.
Why did you change something that wasn’t broken??

The update is awful.

We had really enjoyed this game and played it every night. The update has ruined it. You cannot stop a game and start the next day where you left off. There are also no sound effects. Look, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The developers took a fun game and completely ruined it. We will delete the game and play the original card based version.

The new update

The new update totally destroyed this game. I deleted it!

Response from developer

The online mode is back along with all of your games. It was down for about 24 hours for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience! It has been improved and will hopfully work better now. Thanks, Luke

Succession

Cannot see all the numbers anymore

Response from developer

Hi, Sorry about that issue. Are you referring to the numbers to the side of the rack that go from 5 to 60? If so, we can add those back in the next update.

New is not always better

Loved the old format, played it everyday. New format is awkward, no longer enjoyable.

Update

I hate it

Ruined layout

What has happened to Succession that I have loved playing for years?Why are the stacks so small? Too much blank(dead) space on the screen. I have enjoyed playing this on my phone and tablet. Now, the poor, unattractive layout has taken all the fun out of it! Another example of something being “fixed” that wasn’t broken. Not an absolute thing wrong with the previous layout.

Response from developer

I apologize for the changes that have negatively affected your experience. We will be addressing these changes in the next update to bring things closer to their previous design.

I’ve found two Rack-O “inspired” games on iOS and both are equally frustrating. This one looks sharper (and actually saves your game if the app closes, lol), but suffers from some pretty key problems: Only one AI opponent, the AI opponent is shockingly bad, and there’s no bonus points for getting runs in classic mode. Pick this one if you want your games to look nice or you do a lot of switching between apps.

Horrible!!

I realize that there is a disclaimer at the beginning of this game that states ‘some items’ may cause trouble, but we could not play it at all. I want my $1.99 back!!

Don’t Buy Succession!!!

Don’t waste $ on this game. It worked fine for a few days, then my payment went thru and it stopped working. Rack-O is fun but this app is a rip off! Wish I could give it zero stars

Advice-help

I purchased this app because I love this game. I was excited to be able to play online with my daughter to states away. I however every time I play after every action I have to close the app and open it back up again. It takes the fun out of the game. What am I doing wrong?

Stopped working

I have played this app for several years, it is one of my favorites! However, it stopped working ever since the latest Apple iOS update. Would love to see this get updated to be compatible, and maybe even a few new game features as well? Such as ability to track turns played, ability to see all time wins/losses, better functionality in player stats.

Stopped working

I’ve played this game for a long time with few issues. After the last Apple update the game has become unworkable. Not worth my time.

Online does work.

I purchased this to play online. AFTER you pay $1.99, you learn that the advertised online feature “may have issues” aka doesn’t work. I lost $3.98 because I purchased it twice to test it. Complete waste of money.

Game Center required....useless

Do not be fooled. If you want to play this with family over the net, it is unstable and frustrating at best. The game even warns you....only after you buy and install...that online play is a bonus feature that will have issues. I bought this game cause my kids and I loved it when they were young. Both play it now as adults so I thought this would be a wonderful way to have family time now that they live in other states. I was wrong. It requires Game Center which is always a nuisance and even then is a pain. With so many games out there that simply require you to send an invitation with a room number to involve others, I don’t know why any developer would rely on Game Center. I only lost 1.99 on it. Which is the only positive thing I can say about this game.

Garbage

Thought I could play online. Can’t hook up. Message even says don’t expect it to run smooth. Stole my money. Ridiculous APPLE doesn’t oversee this crap

Doesn’t work online

It doesn’t let the other player play! I took my turn and then they try to play their turn but it returns and they keep trying but it doesn’t stick but notifies other player it’s there turn but when I go to take my turn it says it’s the others turn and won’t continue. Thanks for stealing my $2!!

Love the game, have online question

Love the game and it’s currently providing quite a bit of fun during our forced time at home! Is it possible to modify online game play so that you can require a run of 3 as in the regular game against the computer?

Three changes needed!

I’ve played Rack-o for almost 60 years. Please always have the opponents’ rack on screen so we can memorize their pickups and placements, as in physical Rack-o. Get rid of the racks sliding on and off the screen, as this is very annoying and doesn’t give you time to attempt to memorize an opponent’s card placement, which is part of strategy (see my first request.) Please show the opponent’s rack when a game ends.
