### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2025-05-22, version 2.4.8*

Was fun in the beginning but I deleted it after all the Ads started.

### 2/5 — crashes after each ad

*2020-01-24, version 2.4.8*

This game won’t let you change the orientation it’s always landscape. Every time it comes back from an ad, the orientation changes to portrait and you can’t recover from it. You see half a game screen and there’s no way to go back or reorient it. You have to close the app and reopen it. Other than that it works fine.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2017-06-26*

This is the real game!

### 2/5 — I love 31!

*2016-01-24, version 1*

I love this card game! But I got irritated when it started giving my wins away to the AI players. I deleted it for this reason.  What is the point of winning, if you don't get credit for it!?

### 5/5 — Awesome & Incredible!

*2015-10-16, version 1*

Last night I found this awesome game & from then I'm feeling happy to get this! It's feature & stylish design charms me much. It is lot of fun. It is also ever-expanding. If you are one of them who constantly need a lot of fun, then it must help you... Tnx Dev!
