If you're looking for the card game Oh Hell! then this is the app for you! It's got a powerful AI so you'll never have an easy game (I write AIs for a living!) and a huge range of customisable rule options to suit however you've traditionally played the game yourself. The AI players even have emotions and get happy and sad when they think they're going to make their bid or not. You can also play against your friends on their own devices over local WiFi or Bluetooth. For newcomers to the game, Niggle (also known as "Oh Hell") is an easy to learn card game in which you must try to guess how many tricks you are going to win each round. The fun comes from trying to get exactly the number of wins you guessed while stopping your opponents from achieving their target.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

7up Scoreboard holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Niggle (Oh Hell) has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Niggle (Oh Hell)'s written reviews are positive against 0% of 7up Scoreboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
