Cribbage Pro 17+

Amazing for any player, a few suggestions

This app is fantastic for me who is just learning and my friend who are expert players love it too.

One feature that would really help newer players is an option for an explainer of the opponent score or the auto score when playing a single player game. Often it’s unclear how the score was arrived at and if you’re new and trying to practice scoring that would help.

Also there is a scoring bug in single player. When scoring manually and playing the app player sometimes the app player’s score is wrong. It isn’t counting all the potential points. In one case I saw it miss a run. In another it missed a 15 with the flip card. If you click “home” to exit the game and then resume the game the score is correct when you return. So it may be a caching issue or some other session issue.

Hi, thanks for the detailed review! It sounds like you are using the manual counting option, and that does mean that the explanation of the points is only shown if you get the score wrong in that mode. It also means that if you are playing on the lower difficulty levels, you can see the computer opponent sometimes miss some points. That is so the muggins feature has a purpose, and is covered more in the game Help and FAQ. As someone who is still learning the game, I suggest you use the automatic scoring option where it will always show how the hands are scored and the computer is also always scored fully without any muggins options.

Not realistic deals reduces enjoyment quit a bit

Updated Update: this game has become too unreal for enjoyment. I am going to seek another option. Name for 'advanced' changed to 'brutal' but that belies what the game is. The game is unrealistic and tests not one's ability to play the game but one's tolerance for the computer receiving unbelievably good hands a non-randomly measured percent of the time. Frankly, 'brutal' really means 'brutally out of touch with reality'. And it seems to be getting worse. Frankly, it is taking the fun out of playing.

While I enjoy playing this App a lot, at the advanced level it does not come close to reality. Just be prepared to lose 60% of the games regardless how well you are doing as the app will consistently catch 12, 14, 16 and more points in hand and juicy cribs as well while you scrounge out your best with crappola hands. Skill plays a part in cribbage but nowhere near as much as luck and the app has odds defying luck. "Advanced" should have to do with knowledge and skill. Cribbage depends A LOT on the cards one is dealt. At the Advanced level, Cribbage Pro takes a significant detour from reality. Better and more realistic randomizing of the cards to represent reality would make it more enjoyable. I do think it is the best of the cribbage apps I have tried but it just does not come close to reality and that is a shame.

Developer sold out

Used to be good. Since updating the game, it lost it’s appeal. Would rather play solo TicTacToe against myself than subject myself to this misery. The game is not fun anymore and I’ll try to find a different Cribbage app that is enjoyable. Used to be fair to both sides: now even if you win it’s not satisfying as the “program” picks winners way too lopsided now. The games are rarely close at any level and seem to always result in lopsided victories! I wish that I’d never updated it! The ads are ridiculous, ranging from political to locking in on other pages and making it impossible to go on to any other application without restarting the iPad. After the third time of being locked into an endless loop of games sending you to the Apple Store I’ve decided to write a review so others will know what this app has become. Cribbage pro no longer is any fun: just frustration whether winning or losing, or just locked in an endless advertising loop. I buy almost all of my apps and fully support the developers but am too afraid of what the app would be like given the de elopes history of making the app worse. This app has gone steadily downhill but I would gladly pay twice what they charge for an early version of this even with the old ads!!!!!

Hi, first to address the ads, no ad should ever do what you are describing and if you see one broken like that, please take the time to either report it to the ad network responsible for it by selecting the small icon in the corner of the ad or by taking a screenshot and sending it to us for review so we can investigate it and try to find the responsible ad network and get it blocked. With respect to your feeling that the game has become unfair to you, know that the same computer AI from when we first released the game is still there today with the only exception being making the easiest difficulty level just slightly harder last year. The game is not picking winners and losers, just shuffling a fair and random deck like always. Please email us at support@FullerSystems.com if you have any questions
