Cribby - Cribbage Card Game +4

Beginner learning the game!

I’ve never played cribbage before and frankly was always really intimidated by it just because I didn’t know the rules. Cribby makes it easy though. The animation during the scoring phase of the game helped me to learn the rules through visualization. Everything is very clean and crisp in the app too. I’m a few days I went from not knowing a thing about cribbage to being able to beat the intermediate. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to give my brother (a pretty experienced cribbage player) a run for his money!

Disappointing monetization choices even with subscription

I decided to get serious about cribbage again and Cribby seemed promising. I was a bit hesitant based on the privacy policy but decided to try it anyway. I played some games and was generally very impressed with the quality and the hand rating feature, so I created an account and subscribed for $25/year. Kind of steep but the app is well made and the hand discard rating will help me get better.

Well, after you’re registered/logged in, Cribby charges an IAP currency to view the discard probabilities for each hand, effectively 1 cent. Even with the $25 subscription.

Sheesh! At least don’t hide that you’re going to do that behind the registration. If I’d known that was coming I never would’ve bothered to subscribe or register. The hand probability feature was a significant motivator for subscribing in the first place but it’s not actually included, and that is a surprise. Charge me $30/year and get rid of the IAP when subscribed, if you think $25 isn’t enough. What other gotchas are hiding in here? It’s sad, because this is obviously a well made app, but this choice is disappointing.

It’s very smooth!

Seems a little fast. I probably should look for the “how did you get that” slower button on the app. It’s the most embarrassing playing with older players counting out loud while they’ve already counted your points and are waiting to peg the ones you missed. Help a brother out.

Anyway. Nice work!

Resposta do desenvolvedor ,

Thanks for the feedback! I read you loud and clear. The latest update has a few game settings that you can toggle by tapping the gear icon in the top-right of the game screen, including slower counting and manual counting (Muggins). At the end of each round you can tap the hands or crib to see points breakdowns as well.
