### 4/5 — Tien len

*2026-04-06, version 3.0*

How can i set up see how many cards player left in them hand

### 3/5 — Tu sac not refresh

*2024-10-20, version 3.0*

After game ended for the tu sac but it not renew the card.

### 4/5 — Update

*2021-10-02, version 2.3*

Need to be updated to work on New iPhone

### 3/5 — 3/5

*2018-04-09, version 2.3*

I like the app but my only concern is that I can’t play double straights when there’s a 2 played. Messes up my streak. Otherwise, it’s a good app.

### 3/5 — Fun, but all rules aren’t correct

*2017-12-30, version 2.3*

I enjoy this game. It passes by a lot of time when I’m bored. The only issue I’ve had is for example, I’ll play a pair of 10’s. All players will pass.  I’ll continue on with pair of Q’s, A’s, and 2’s. I’ll then get chopped. In reality, they shouldn’t have been able to chop me since they passed on all the other pairs. This also happens with single cards played. Oh, they’re able to do that, but not me.

### 3/5 — Rules are off

*2016-03-10, version 2.3*

I should know since I was on the team to write the rules of the game.
1) You don't have straight suits programmed. A higher off straight can not beat a straight suit.
2) A 4 of kind slam (or bomb) does not beat 3 straight pairs. Once one slam is played it can only be beat by the same kind. 
3) The game ends when a player has played all his cards, has 4 2's, or has 3 to A straight. NOT all pairs in hand.

Technically you can't call this game Tien Len, but legally you can.

### 3/5 — Pass button

*2016-01-25, version 2.3*

The play and pass button needs to be swapped, the app seems like it was made for a left handed person. Sometimes it glitches too

### 3/5 — Report

*2015-10-12, version 2.3*

App crashed in this version

### 3/5 — Review

*2015-09-12, version 2.2*

Good game. A couple things should be fixed. Seems like the computer gets bombs or chops someone every game. User may get a bomb or chop about 1/20 games. The ability to play other users would be nice.

### 4/5 — Addictive!  But won't always let you chop

*2015-08-30, version 2.2*

I had four Queens; I had not passed; but when a single two was played, the game would not let me play my Queens!!

Also, the rules do not explain the reason you get locked out if you pass too many times -- at least I think that is why I am no longer allowed to play...?

### 4/5 — Great game, but a few glitches.

*2015-06-11, version 2.2*

Easy to use format and fun to play. However, there's just one glitch. I get a consecutive sequence in my hand and someone plays a 2, sometimes it won't let me play my hand to "chop" the 2. I then have to restart or start a new game. It gets annoying after a while and I have to restart my score. There's also no card counter when I select that in the options. A suggestion would be to automatically start a new game when I win instead of waiting for the computer to finish the round. I will change rating to five stars if these changes are met. Thanks!

### 1/5 — It’s all about advertising

*2018-05-31, version 2.3*

Every other minutes you have to watch a 5 seconds advertisement

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2018-04-09, version 2.3*

Your app keeps on crashing.

### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2017-11-25, version 2.3*

This game sucks just buy real a deck of cards and go play by yourself

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-09-08, version 2.3*

Can't win shuffle is trash

### 1/5 — Rules are jacked up

*2016-12-27, version 2.3*

Won't recognize suited straights, won't allow bombs to beat 2's for me but allows CPU to drop bombs ON me...  Messed up...

### 1/5 — This game cheats/ almost impossible to get wins

*2016-03-22, version 2.3*

This game totally cheats. Do not download this game. Unless you like to lose every time. Horrible game.

### 1/5 — Ai wins

*2016-02-10, version 2.3*

Computer Ai cards are no joke, just lost 3 times in a row cause they able to drop 7 card combos

### 1/5 — Don't download- cheats...too hard. You never win.

*2015-12-05, version 2.3*

Don't download- cheats...too hard. You never win.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-12-04, version 2.3*

The a.i. In this game is way off. The computer controlled players always have way better hands, always get chops and get instant win hands all the time. If you download this game, be prepared to get very frustrated and lose a lot. Other than the gameplay, it's a nice looking app.

### 1/5 — Some work and it would be a 5/5

*2015-02-24, version 2.0*

The scoring is silly. You are rewarded with points for having a good hand dealt and less points for winning with bad hands. You can essentially come in first every round and still end up last in points after several games. 

Because someone has four 2s they get 12 points and I lose 12 putting them up 24 points (the equivalent of winning 1st 8 times) just for having good luck. 

I have a 13 card straight and have opening hand so it makes me auto win. I get 0 points and player 3 randomly gets +12. 

Rewarded for having four twos but penalized for having a divine hand of 13?

They play two killers after passing but the player is not allowed to do the same.

A two killer in 61 out of 70 matches seems like bad statistics but I can live with that if the other issues were addressed since for all I know that's really just my luck. 

Honestly if this was multiplayer, had none of these issues, and had a "cards remaining in hand" number for each player it would be perfect.

*2025-06-16, version 3.0*

Bảng điểm thị hiện không đủ con số khi trên 10 ngàn điểm. Mong nhà phát triển mở rộng phần điểm số để người chơi theo dõi và so sánh điểm của mình với các đối thủ. Mình xin chân thành cảm ơn.

### 5/5 — Can’t stop playing this game

*2018-05-09, version 2.3*

This game is very entertaining. I would like to see the developers add a small indicator to the playing board that shows the player number next to the player’s cards and leave the bonus/penalty points showing for the duration of the hand. Perhaps next to the player number.
Great game.

### 5/5 — Game

*2017-08-09, version 2.3*

Hay

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-08-09, version 2.3*

Game hay

### 5/5 — Best iOS Tien Len App

*2017-02-03, version 2.3*

I looked and found this to be the best. Don't listen to the people who say the AI is too hard. I'm not Asian and can hold my own. It's definitely challenging, but in a good way. Also, you can change the pass and play buttons by swapping in the settings. 

Definitely hit it up for a good time and if you want a pick up and go app.

### 5/5 — SKCAJY

*2016-08-04, version 2.3*

I like play :)

### 5/5 — Ya have to be Asian

*2016-02-17, version 2.3*

I dont see anything wrong with this game. Ya'll just hatin cuz u aint on the Asian level yo!

### 5/5 — Excellent! I play everyday.

*2015-11-18, version 2.3*

I've been playing tien len all my life, and I find this app as fun and as exciting every time! Sure, there are lots of chops/bombs, but it's what makes the game intriguing. The app runs smoothly on my iPhone 6. I have downloaded many other tien len apps, and this one is simply the best. Simple yet sophisticated. It is just you versus three computer players, and every time I play, I get better. It also explains the tien len game in a very through manner. I feel that this app is excellent for people of all levels, beginners and advanced players. I never feel like I am playing against computers, which is a 5-stars in my book!

### 5/5 — I love playing this

*2015-08-04, version 2.2*

I'm Vietnamese and have been playing Tien Len since I was young. It's nice to go to this app to play if I have no one to play with. It was also a nice distraction for me after my bad car accident. I can play for hours

### 5/5 — A

*2015-03-05, version 2.1*

Great app. Fun to play. It would be much better if you include the rules and how points are given. Please make it more realistic by reducing the chance of bombs users have.
