ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crazy Eights holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crazy Eights has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Crazy Eights's written reviews are positive against 67% of King’s Cribbage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crazy Eights ships an update monthly, King’s Cribbage weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
