The app is incredibly engaging, offering a seamless and fun experience that keeps me coming back for more. One of the best aspects of this app is the sense of fairness in the odds. It feels genuinely rewarding to collect cards, as the odds don’t seem stacked against you. This fair approach makes every win feel earned and every new card a real treasure. The excitement level is through the roof! Whether it’s the thrill of finding a rare card or the joy of completing a set, there’s always something to look forward to. The app’s interface is user-friendly, making the collecting process enjoyable and hassle-free. Additionally, the app does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of hockey. The card designs are top-notch, and the attention to detail in player stats and information is impressive. It’s clear that this app was made by people who love and understand the game. In conclusion, Topps NHL Skate 24 is a must-have for anyone interested in hockey or card collecting. It’s a perfect blend of fun, fairness, and excitement. Highly recommend it for a truly enjoyable collecting experience! **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your review! Please recommend our app to your friends, and don’t hesitate to shoot us a note at skate@topps.com if you have any questions. ### 1/5 — Developers clearly have lost touch with this app *2023-11-04* Went from 5 stars to only one. I wish I could vote 0 or negative stars. Read the comments on any new pack drop. The user base for Skate is completely furious and the developers aren’t doing a thing about it. Pack odds are a joke, so good luck completing your sets or finding that card you want unless you want to shell out $100/wk in diamonds. Packs for the 24 season are incredibly boring and are using really bad quality images on them. Some even are using the identical photos as the last season. It’s blatantly clear that all these people care about is micro transactions and getting as much money out of you as they possibly can. The developers need to read the room, listen to their user base and quit being so greedy. Last season was near perfectly balanced as far as structure, and had to go and completely screw it all up. Change things back to how they were. Because how it is now is really upsetting to a LOT of people. Get it together, Topps. This is a complete joke. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you for your feedback! We're always working to find the ideal balance for pack availability. Your feedback is extremely valuable and will help us make NHL SKATE! better. Please feel free to voice your concerns with our Customer Support folks at skate@topps.com. Looking forward to hearing from you! ### 4/5 — Fun but has one very annoying glitch *2023-10-17* I just want to say this is a great game and love the idea of collecting cards without paying real money. The problem is this glitch that keeps happening. What happens is some packs have the option to save time and just buy the pack five or ten packs at a time BUT IT ONLY GIVES YOU ONE PACK! It costs all your coins and you get ONE stinkin pack **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you for your feedback! We're always working to find the ideal balance for pack availability.

Looking forward to hearing from you! ### 1/5 — Topps is Pricing themselves out *2023-09-05* Used to have fun in this app. Odds were fair to get a decent card and you didn’t feel the “need” to buy diamonds as often. You found always find a trade and usually end up with the card you wanted. I had fun interactions with others on the app who were true fans of the game of hockey and collecting. More recently Topps has made it almost impossible to keep up wit collections…laziness in cards where you see same pictures being used on different sets. Legendary upon legendary cards with awards, forcing you to buy hundreds of dollars on diamonds just to keep up, but with pack odds and actual value of cards but equal to what you get. Many long time collectors are leaving due to costs, horrible people holding cards for ransoms and fear after seeing what happened to Kick. Some folks on here spent thousands per month and no longer get the card they want. This is either a result of greed for $ or terrible direction from someone at Topps. Either way, they are going to lose more loyalty and folks will stop dumping money in the app. If that’s the goal to just make this go away, then I don’t see Topps changing. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you for your feedback!

Please feel free to voice your concerns with our Customer Support folks at skate@topps.com. Looking forward to hearing from you! ### 3/5 — Good but could be better. *2023-06-18* Trading is very confusing to understand at first, trade chat is practically useless unless you have tens of thousands of cards. A more open marketplace where you can post what you have available or even auction them off for coins would be a lot more fun in my opinion. Also, don’t even waste your time trying to get extra coins by using the tapjoy survey feature. They never work, and they just link you to websites that obliterate your email address with spam and sell your personal data. Just watch the ads instead. **Developer response:** Hi there, We truly appreciate our fans who express an interest in improving our apps! We have passed on your feedback to the appropriate department. If you have any questions or concerns, or additional feedback, please let us know by emailing swct@topps.com. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2023-06-13* Pretty good game with a solid premise but I think there needs to be an auction system. When there is no way to get a card other than to trade, it kinda gives the person the trade was offered to, to much power. Also, an auctioning system would give cards a coin value instead of just a rarity. I feel like if they added this, the game would be much improved. **Developer response:** Hi there, We truly appreciate our fans who express an interest in improving our apps!

It is a must-have game for any hockey card collector! Just one thing, I think you should make missions give out more coins because I just want to have fun opening packs just to come see that i have 1.5k coins. So maybe can you make coins easier to get and packs less expensive? Thank you so much! **Developer response:** Hi there, We truly appreciate our fans who express an interest in improving our apps!

I’ve been a collector since 1985 and it’s just as exciting as opening the real thing!! I highly recommend this app definitely gets 5 ⭐️’s from me!! Happy hunting **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for collecting with NHL SKATE. We love when our collectors share their experiences in app with us! ### 5/5 — Love it but… *2023-01-22, version 19.9.0* I love opening packs, it’s probably the most fun thing for everyone in the app, but for the iconic's they are sometimes 1:500 3,000 coins in order to get that you need a lot of coins, so I’m not asking for iconic’s but I am asking for more ways to get free/easy ways to get coins so everyone can open more packs!! **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your love! We truly appreciate our fans who express an interest in improving our apps! We have passed on your feedback to the appropriate department. If you have any questions or concerns, or additional feedback, please let us know by emailing skate@topps.com. ## Frequently asked questions about Topps® NHL SKATE™ Card Trader ### What is NHL SKATE Card Trader?
