### 5/5 — Does everything you need it to

*2024-11-27, version 3.80*

Really easy to use and free. Marvellous!

### 1/5 — Love Whist. Hate this version

*2024-08-31*

In 10 hands I never got more than 3 trump cards. When I did get trump it was 2,3,4. Ads are numerous. Deleted.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review.  The deals are not biased to any seat. The AI uses an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation method to play pretty well on the higher levels. We play on level 1 for more relaxing games. We are working on improving the ad-based experience. We offer an in-app purchase to remove ads if you prefer, see Main Screen - Menu - Purchase Remove Ads.

### 2/5 — Still the same

*2024-05-18, version 3.40*

This game is set up for the ai to win most of the time, I left feedback 2 years a go and it is still the same, an example is the player to my right puts down a card they is just one higher than what I have , the ai knows what I have as in a normal game you would play your highest card as that player should not know what you have, also the ai players tend to have the best hands especially trumps, and my partner still plays as if they are an opponent so trumping my winning hand. 
Developers, you really need to change the ai rules as it can get really annoying to play this game.

### 1/5 — Good game but…

*2024-05-08*

I like the game but no way hands are random. Seems like we get way too many hands with jack high as best card. Takes away the fun.

### 2/5 — Bid

*2024-04-13*

I have no idea who is bidding even when it is me and no idea who chooses trump. There is no where to review how this particular game is played.  I have been playing whist for over forty years and was never stumped before

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. There is no bidding in this standard Whist game. You may be looking for the Bid Whist game which has bidding.  Please check out our NeuralPlay Bid Whist app.

### 3/5 — Poorly programmed

*2023-05-29*

The use of the AI implication is hype and non-existent. Poorly programmed. Computer partner is not programmed for a team/partner strategy.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We are working on improvements.

### 2/5 — Playing Whist

*2022-07-13*

I know it’s a computer however it doesn’t follow the known rules of the game that I love. My love for the game is the only reason I play.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Whist. Thank you for your review. We think we support the most popular rules for Whist. We do updates to our games to support additional rules. Please let us know the rules you would like to play. Please send them to us at support@neuralplay.com.

### 5/5 — Monkey Fun

*2022-03-23*

More fun than a barrel of monkeys 😂

**Developer response:** Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Whist. Thank you for your review.

### 5/5 — Whist for those you want a good AI

*2020-12-12*

Has a good range of AI and game options.  Simple but decent graphics.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Whist. Thank you for your review.
