### 4/5 — Fun and educational

*2026-08-21, version 2.9.3*

I’m learning what cards to play to up my scores

### 4/5 — Cribbage

*2026-08-20, version 2.9.3*

Works well on smaller phones

### 4/5 — Exciting games

*2026-08-16, version 2.9.3*

Really enjoyed the games and was challenging at the right times Enjoyed the game as not a pushover type. Each Game is a challenge and not just a blow-off.enjoyed the challenge.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-08-12, version 2.9.3*

I really like this game, but the ads are so disruptive, I feel like I spend more time watching them than playing. It’s worse if you’re also listening to music and that gets interrupted as well. (You don’t always have the option to turn off the sound). Although I would happily pay for the app to stop the ads, I’m not paying $8 per month for it.

Banner ads during a game is fine but when you have ads after every hand played, it takes away the enjoyment playing crib….

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2026-07-22, version 2.9.3*

Used to be one of the better free cribbage apps but it’s been lost to adverts. Just had a game where an ad played after EVERY hand which just ruins the whole experience. Sorry, deleting the game and looking elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Ads in the middle of a game

*2026-08-21, version 2.9.3*

Beware, theyll drop long ads at anytime. Dumb

### 1/5 — Too long of ads

*2026-07-14, version 2.9.3*

if you lake ads and I mean long ads(sum are 1  1/2 minutes long) this is the game for you.  If I liked long ads I would watch television

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-06-30, version 2.9.3*

There are ads after every hand. Not every round. Not every game. Every. Single. Hand. There are like 10 hands in 1 game. You do the math whether that’s worth it to you or not. 

Developers need to think about the players and not just milking as much money as you can with ads.

### 1/5 — Oh, this ads

*2026-06-26, version 2.9.3*

A really enjoyable game …. Until the ads kick in. An ad after each game soon stops the fun. Should have read the reviews?

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-06-23, version 2.9.3*

The computer gets at least one 5 or 2 every hand and way too many Ads

### 1/5 — Vol de points

*2026-06-19, version 2.9.3*

Bonjour, j’ai changé de ipad hier, depuis je me fais voler mes points! J’entends par mes points ce qui en haut à droite, et qui me permet d’avoir la possibilité de changer de jeu. J’avais 1185 et maintenant je crois que je suis rendu à 285 !!! J’aimerais que vous arrangiez cela!

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2026-06-11, version 2.9.3*

Don’t down load this game, the game is great but the ads are just so ridiculous and the you can’t get rid of the ad, there is no way of closing it down, you spend  just as much time trying to get rid of the game ads then want you do playing cribbage it self

### 1/5 — DONT PLAY, get a different cribbage app

*2026-05-16, version 2.9.3*

i used to play this a couple years ago, and both the mulligan and shotgun games were completely free, now they want you to pay $20 for it. its very much a cash grab and they try to sell you something consistently, for example when i opened it a few minutes ago there were 3 overlapping (and glitchy) popups that ask you to pay collectively over $40 for nonsense things you dont need

if you do decide to play the game, turn off your wifi

i also found a glitch to get the in game currency for free, like whatever those lins are, so i went from almost none to over 5k within maybe 10 minutes

dont play this game, google cribbage games or get another app that doesnt want you to pay more than what the board costs irl

the game developers also just copy and paste the same response to every review, even ones that say they lost access to what they bought, so dont expect it to work in any way, dont waste your money

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-04-27, version 2.9.3*

There are way too many ads in this game. You can’t play a full game without having 10 ads pop up. I have deleted the game.

### 1/5 — LOUD ADS

*2026-04-13, version 2.9.3*

If I’ve got your sound muted, your ads shouldn’t be walking the neighborhood 💯 Didn’t even play 3 games ✌️
