ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cribbage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage Royale has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Cribbage Royale's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cribbage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cribbage Royale ships an update every 2 months, Cribbage fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
