You won’t win
I like this game a lot but you won’t win.
Also, do you think there would ever be an option to play with friends instead of just computers. That would be amazing

Great game
This code follows the actual rules of the game which I appreciate!
Not fun
Too many AI bots playing against you.
I have played 310 games and only won 21. The 3 players you play against always have too many wild cards. It could be a fun game if you dealt random cards to each player. The AI players all seem to play against you. So what’s the point a computer can beat a human?

It's Got Me Hooked
Great app. We recently learned this card game and soon after I went searching for an app. Found this one and like it a lot. Highly recommend.
A few tweaks I would love to see:
- An undo button. Sometimes I fat finger the wrong card or just immediately realize I didn't make the best play.
- Make my screen stay on longer. I often play while doing other things in between turns but then I have to keep opening my phone back up. I wish it'd stay awake longer.
- Make the game stay put even if I have to switch to something else on my phone. Sometimes I come back and it's still in the same game, but most of the time it has reset and I have to start a new game. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. I would like to just pickup where I left it.
Down the road, maybe you could even play with other players?? My whole family would love that!!!

Awesome!
Very fun game and well written software! It is helpful in learning the strategy of playing Swoop. The bots you play against are smart and know the strategy and this helps you learn to play better. Thanks for this great game!
Could be 5 stars
I want to give this five stars but on my iPhone, it’s skewed to the right and I can’t see the last card. It will ask me if I want to play another king (or whatever card is hiding there) but I can’t get to it, which costs me another turn. I think I could win, if I could get to that card. That slight tweak would make it five stars, so I could actually play. Also, I do agree with the other reviews that suggested the option to be able to play the uncovered mystery card before the end of your turn. That’s how we play.

AI wins
Seems so rigged against the human player. Not fun at times
Best game ever
I play this game when I’m in work meetings. Highly recommend. My fiancé is impressed by how much I play this game.
Fun but not fair
The rules are somewhat different than what I learned, but the main difference is that the competition in this game knows what their mystery cards are, but you don’t.
Fun
I have really enjoyed this. I find it is quite easy to win once you get the strategy, however, I do get challenged.
I’ve noticed recently that if a complete game isn’t finished when I close my iPad, it may reset that game to zero.
Thanks for not having ads. I’m looking forward to being able to play this on a long flight.

Can’t see 2 cards
PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!! 3 cards go off the right side of my screen and cannot be played. It’s very frustrating when I know there’s a card that could be played but I have to hit END TURN because I can’t see it or play it.
Response from developer
I believe this is caused by custom increases you have made to display size and/or zoom. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you. The app must display a large number of cards in a very small space, and needs to run with close to default settings of your device. (It looks great on an iPad, and landscape is also available)
Love the game, cards are too small.
I love playing the game you created, but my eyes get strained because the cards are too small. I’d give this a five star review if you could make them bigger.

Good game
Game is very fun but feels like each round is rigged against the player. I played to 300 and only won one single round played. Would be more fun if odds were better for the player. Still super fun though.
Rotation is not working
I play this game with friends almost daily, and I am disappointed at your version.
A simple fix would make the game more enjoyable to people with older I phones.
Just rotate the format so that the player can see all of their cards.
How hard can it be. I wish someone would make a swoop card game that doesn’t make the player automatically lose.

Love Swoop, but please add one more game option!
We play Swoop all the time and love this game. So happy there is now an app. One game option we always play that I found in a google search for Swoop rules is…
“When playing a face up card, the same player may then play the Mystery Card beneath it, risking that the Mystery Card is the same or lower value as the face up card played. The same player may then play an additional Mystery Card, which has been previously uncovered, again risking that it may be the same or lower value as what is showing on the pile.”
EXAMPLE: a face-up King is played, player then plays the card be beneath confident that the Mystery Card will be no greater than a King. Should the Mystery Card be a Queen, again it is a low risk move to play another uncovered Mystery Card to the pile.
If the follow-on Mystery Card should be a higher value, player takes the pile.
If a player uses a Mystery Card to start, he may also play any matching cards from his hand.”
Would love if this could be added to the app as a game option.
Thank you!

Rotation is not working
I noted that I was unable to use the cards number 9-10, when I played one card first. Thus has caused 10-15 swoops.
I’ve tried to delete the app and reboot the 1.3 version that you’ve said fixes a lot of bugs.
However it doesn’t work!
A little help.
I love the game, but I keep feeling cheated.
I am using an older I phone, this version needs to be able to rotate, because without it the game is handicapped for the AI.

Moderately fun
Every game is rigged against the player.
