I am completely blind, and when I found tableEx, I was really excited, because there are not a lot of games where you can play with others around the world. I love all of the game choices and cannot wait to see what else is going to be added. My only wish that cited people were able to play as well, and there were animations, and easier ways for Sight people to play once they are in the game. I have family that is over 1500 miles away, and they love to play Ludo. My wife plays Ludo with them, and right now there is no accessible way for me to do that. Please bring some immersive gameplay and options for sided people to have animations and easy ways to know which button they are pushing and what they are doing? I would love to be able to play Ludo with my wife and my mother. ### 4/5 — Very fun; some suggestions to make it better *2026-08-20* I really love this platform, and have really appreciated all of the work that has gone into improving the usability. There are a couple of things I would really love to see. In scopa, when a user takes cards off of the table, the screen reader does not announce which cards were taken, only what card was played. It would be really helpful if the announcements could be more inclusive: e.g. if I take a 5 of hearts with a 10 of diamonds, the announcement currently just says I played a 5 of hearts. I would love for it to say something like, I take a 10 of diamonds with a 5 of hearts. If I make a scopa, I would like the announcement to announce Scopa so that I know. I am not sure if this is in scope, but when playing with someone who does not use a screen reader, they must open the history to see each new game action. Would it be possible to implement tool tips, or some visual message flashing the same way that screen readers read out the actions as they happen? We turned on the visual effects but this still does not happen. This last one is purely personal but, it would be so cool to have rummy! Thank you again for all of this work. I recommend this platform to my friends, blind and sighted alike. ### 4/5 — Neuer Spiel Vorschlag *2026-08-19* Ich hätte ein neues Spiel Vorschlag. Es wäre sehr schön, wenn man hier bei dieser Plattform das Spiel Kniffel mit reinnehmen würde. Vielen Dank ### 5/5 — Recommendation *2026-08-15* TableEx is an exceptional audio game that brings immense joy and engagement to visually impaired players. Its thoughtful accessibility and immersive sound design make it a truly wonderful experience. For future updates, I would love to see a scoring system implemented where players earn points for each victory—such as three points per win—to better track progress and enhance motivation. Thank you to the developers for creating such a remarkable application. ### 1/5 — Ich kann nicht mehr spielen *2026-08-03* Gestern Abend konnte ich mir keine Werbung mehr anschauen da stand zuerst Werbung wird geladen und danach stand da Werbung konnte nicht geladen werden und wo ich den App heute Morgen geöffnet habe stand da Fehler, Connection error ### 4/5 — Keine Werbung *2026-08-03* Guten Tag, ich finde diese App eigentlich ganz gut aber ich wollte mir gestern Werbung mir anschauen und dies hat leider nicht geklappt ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-07-31* There’s so many bugs! I can’t get more coins from watching ads. I can’t get it to draw a card when playing Uno. The hand gestures don’t work. I was hoping to play Uno with some friends, but I can’t get it to play the games or give me more coins to try to play the games. I’m giving up. ### 4/5 — Recommendation For adding some games *2026-07-23* It is an excellent app, but I hope you can add some new games like such a games for driving competition ### 2/5 — TableEx problem *2026-06-27* Bug Report – App Crash After Switching Between Apps Dear TableEx Team, I would like to report a serious bug that affects gameplay. Issue: When I am playing TableEx and switch to another app (for example, WhatsApp) and then return to TableEx, the app becomes unstable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open TableEx and join a table. 2. Leave the app and open another app, such as WhatsApp. 3. Return to TableEx. Expected Behavior: The game should continue normally, and I should be able to join or create tables without any issues. Actual Behavior: After returning to TableEx, the app crashes or repeatedly closes and reopens. I cannot join any table or create a new table. The app becomes unusable until I completely close it and launch it again. Impact: This bug interrupts gameplay and causes users to lose access to tables after briefly switching to another app. It happens repeatedly and significantly affects the user experience. Please investigate this issue and include a fix in a future update. Thank you for your time and support. ## Frequently asked questions about TableEx ### What kind of games does TableEx offer?

The game guide has been updated, so visit the game's page to learn what's new. Ludo • Quick Ludo: a new option the table owner can enable before the game starts. When active, you win by bringing only 2 tokens to your home zone instead of 4. • Mandatory Kill: a new option that keeps your home zone locked until you capture an opponent's token. Once you capture one, your home zone opens. While it's locked, a token that would enter it continues along the main track instead (for example, Red's home starts at 52: a token on 51 rolling a 2 goes to 53 if the zone is open, or wraps around to 1 if it's locked). • A distinct sound now plays when a token lands on a safe square or inside your home zone, so you can tell it apart from a regular move. UNO • Swipe left or press C to hear how many cards you must draw. For example, if a Draw 2 was played and another Draw 2 was stacked on it, you'll be told to draw 4 cards. Chat & Voice • Block a player from typing: open the chat settings, tap a player, and you'll find options to mute or unmute them in voice chat, as well as block them from writing in chat. • Join or leave voice chat directly from the screen reader actions on the microphone button. • New sounds for the swap event and for muting or unmuting a player in chat. Translation • Translate anything in the History, including chat messages and private messages, with a single tap: long-press any History item or use the screen reader actions. Default settings are: Translate from: Auto (detects the language automatically), Translate to: App language, and Translation sound: On. You can change these under Settings > Translation. Bots • Add several bots at once: when you tap Add Bot, enter the number of bots you want (default is 1). Each bot costs one coin, so adding 5 bots at once deducts 5 coins. History & Settings • The category tabs in the History have been replaced with a category menu. The active category name appears at the top of the screen; tap it to open the menu and choose a category. You can also switch categories through the TalkBack/VoiceOver actions by swiping up or down with one finger. • The tabs inside Settings have been replaced with a menu as well. ### 3.2.3 — 2026-08-25 Solve the problem of categories in the history solved some other problems ### 3.2.2 — 2026-08-23 Added a Speech Interruption option under Settings > Speech, allowing VoiceOver to interrupt the current speech when a new event occurs. Fixes & Improvements ### 3.2.0 — 2026-08-21 Jackaroo — a brand-new game, similar to Ludo but played with cards. You can read the full rules on our website. • Fire joins Survival Arena as a new character with new abilities. • Table settings have been rewritten. Instead of answering one question after another, tapping Start now opens a single window containing every setting. Change what you like, leave the rest as it is, and tap Start to begin immediately. Anything you set stays saved the next time you tap Start, whether the game finished or was stopped — except team settings, which reset to off to avoid problems. • When a game starts, the settings are posted to the log so everyone knows how the table is configured. Anyone who joins later gets the same message; it is not repeated on reconnect. • Three-player Domino now opens with a vote: each player chooses whether the exposed tile should be 0/0 or random. The option chosen by two players is the one that applies. • iOS: the cursor is far more stable inside a table and no longer jumps to the top when you play a card. • iOS: speech is no longer interrupted — while VoiceOver is reading game text, a new event no longer cuts off the previous one. Everything is spoken one after another. • New event categories for players joining and leaving a table, plus a reconnect category for players who drop and come back. You can now control each category and choose whether it is spoken, played as a sound, or both. For example, you can have disconnect and reconnect announced by speech only, or by sound only — the same for voice chat and joins. Open the category in Settings and check or uncheck the Sound option. • Choose who plays. After the owner taps Start, a "who will play" option appears at the end of the settings. Open it, uncheck anyone who shouldn't be in the game, then tap Start. • Screen reader actions were added to every player in the Online and Friends screens — Join and View profile. The table options button also gained actions: start, stop, add bot, players, and switch the table between public and private. • Initial support for keyboard shortcuts on Mac and on any external keyboard connected to your phone. Ctrl+T shows or hides the log, the Windows game shortcuts work here too, and several table controls are supported. ### 3.1.0 — 2026-08-15 • Added Baloot (Saudi version). • Added device audio sharing, available on both Android and iOS. Go to Table Options → Share Device Audio. From there you can set the sharing volume and start sharing. Everyone at the table will hear the audio from your device, so you can play YouTube, TikTok, or anything else running on your phone and the others will hear it. Note that screen reader speech is not included in the shared audio. This feature is available to the table owner only. • In 99, you can now play in teams. After setting the target score, you'll be asked whether you want to play in teams, then you choose how many teams, and each player picks who plays with them. A team shares a single point pool that starts at the score set by the owner, so any loss by any member is deducted from the whole team's pool. Landing exactly on 33, 66, or 99 deducts points from every other team and does not affect the player's own team. When a team's pool runs out, all of its members are eliminated at once, and the last team standing wins. The team option only appears when players can be split into equal teams, i.e. with 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, or 12 players. • Added an option in Ludo classic mode: Enable safe zones? When enabled, there will be safe zones just like in free mode. • In Monopoly, player positions are now the first option inside the map. • In Monopoly, if a player mortgages or sells properties while having a negative balance and reaches zero or above, an audio alert is played so they know they don't need to mortgage or sell any more if that was their goal. • In Monopoly, the player's balance is now the first option in both the sell/build window and the property management window. • In 1000 Miles, a new option has been added: Disable tricks and auto-draw? When enabled, cards are drawn automatically when the player's turn comes, and the trade-off is that tricks are disabled during play, since tricks require not drawing a card while they're played. • In 1000 Miles, swiping left now announces the player's own car information followed by the other players', instead of being limited to the player's car only. • In 1000 Miles, the player's total distance is announced when using distance cards. • In Okey, you can now set the maximum score, so 20 is no longer mandatory. • In Goalball, there is now a free goals option: the owner sets a duration such as 3, 5, 7, or 10 minutes, and when the time is up, whoever has the highest score wins. At the end of each minute you'll hear an announcement with the remaining time. • When opening the list of any game from the join screen, tables that haven't started yet are shown first, followed by tables that are already in progress. • When using the Move to a New Table feature, the old table's settings are transferred to the new one automatically, including chat settings, muted players, banned players, and whether the table is private or public. • When creating a new table, the creator is asked whether they want the table to be private or public, and it is created accordingly. • Fixed an issue where the state of the stop/start game and make table private/public buttons changed after reconnecting to the game. • The friends list is now sorted alphabetically, A–Z for English and alphabetically for Arabic, with online friends listed first. • In Survival Arena, 1000 Miles, and Moto Strike, screen reader actions are now available on VoiceOver, TalkBack, and any reader that supports actions, serving the same function as long press. For example, in 1000 Miles you can discard a card through the actions, and in Survival Arena you can get card information the same way. Long press still works without any issue. • In the log, screen reader actions have been added: the first clears the log, which is useful for cleaning out the selected category, and the second deletes a specific message from the log. • Stability improvements, especially on iOS. ## Apps similar to TableEx | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Hunting the ducks](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hunting-the-ducks/id6444333799) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Games | | [Joker Poker - Texas Frenzy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/joker-poker-texas-frenzy/id6737108319) | 4.2 (12) | Free | Games | | [Dungeon Scoundrel](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dungeon-scoundrel/id6756222423) | 4.1 (17) | $1.99 | Games | | [SoundEcho](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/soundecho/id1639116371) | 4.3 (3) | Free | Games | | [Lane Defender: Haptic Arcade](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lane-defender-haptic-arcade/id6749909197) | — | $0.99 | Games | | [Cyber Quest](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cyber-quest/id6738668652) | 4.7 (18) | $3.99 | Games | ## More apps by Hussain Ali - [يلا ندرس أسئلة واختبارات](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6738716813) - [Brainclash - Trivia Battle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/brainclash-trivia-battle/id6792477723) All apps by Hussain Ali: https://appshunter.io/developer/1782040226 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
