The graphics are fun, I wish the player has a little more control in the game, and play with my own strategies. For example, I would like to draw at will and save my eight for the last card instead of being forced to use it when I don’t have the color in the discard pile. Also, I would like the option to save my 2 for the same purpose. Also, I am so over emojis, life without them would be so nice. Other than a loss of control over my game, this one is fun.

It’s a nice app. I like the developers and their style. But this game has literally NO challenge! It has hints that you can’t turn off, and if you have a card in your hand that you can play you have to play it. You know how in Uno you save all the draw 2 cards and wilds till the end of the game so you can finish easy? Yeah, no. You MUST play the cards. The draw pile shakes its head vigorously if you even so much as think about drawing when you have a card you *could* play. I also found a bug (that I’m quite fond of actually) where if you get a +2 card passed to you on your turn, you can tap the +2 card in the discard pile and continue the +2 chain. The only problem is that the game completely crashes after you hit +8 and the game will not progress. You have to start a new game. It’s quite frustrating because I like the bug but it can backfire, especially if I have a good hand and continue the chain. Also I feel like an ad after *every single game* is a bit excessive. I do appreciate the ability to turn off sounds though. If some of these issues were to be fixed I would gladly bump to 5 stars. But until I gain the ability to end a round above +200, I will not. I want to be able to lose significantly!

Good game but there’s an ad after every single round? C’mon guys. I have gotten to the point where I just force close after every round now. There’s still the interruption of game play but it takes 3 seconds to get back to the game after force closing and I don’t have to watch any ads at all. Nowadays I see ads are creeping up in time and there is no such thing as a skippable 5 second ad anymore so this way works great for me. I am also quite frustrated because I contacted support several times about the tips and tricks message in front of every game flashing by in a millisecond with no time to actually read the dang tip or trick. When support does respond it’s to tell me they will forward it to the developers. This is on every single mobilityware game that I play but not on any other games I play. The game also does seem slanted in that I can only win 1 game out of 5 or 6. Maybe it is just luck of the cards but you really can’t play this game incorrectly. I seem to always get stuck with high scoring cards while opponents are able to go out. For all these reasons I’ve given 3 stars. I almost gave just 2 stars but what the heck.

I had this game for about a week and I REALLY wanted to love it. I had never played Crazy 8 before but I learned the gameplay pretty quickly and got into it. But after a week, it has started doing that thing that games do: cheating. Or stacking the deck, so to speak. I tested a theory. Every time I was dealt a hand, I’d receive 2 color suits, MAYBE 3. The starting color would be one that was in my hand in abundance, along with SKIPS and REVERSES and DRAW 2’s. But it never fails, by the time it gets to be my turn, the the color is “unexpectedly” changed to one of the colors I DON’T have in my hand, prompting me to draw a card.When I draw, the card I pull is NEVER the color of the round in play, but if ANY other players choose a card, it’s almost always the right color, or a wild card to change the color. Either it’s built to intentionally anger you or the algorithm is WAY off. I deleted. I enjoy the game Crazy 8 now and appreciate learning how to play via this app. But now I’ll be looking for another C8 app that perhaps has more balanced gameplay.
