User Reviews for Cribbage Pro

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.

Ok game but deals are not random

There is absolutely no way the deals are random. I have a MS in data science and I’ve run numbers on this game. If you play enough you will observe what other reviewers have stated. It’s not only in computer vs computer gaming. I’ve seen the same anomalies in multiplayer mode. An absolutely horrible player who was down 38 point just came back to beat me in the final four hands. I was pegging, on average, 4-5 points per hand on this opponent. My hands were average, but I went totally cold in last four deals. He went insanely hot at the same time, getting 3 low probability cuts his way. I didn’t earn more than 2 points in any hand, including crib. This happens fairly frequently. Statistically the odds of this happening once is low; repeatedly is near impossible. I play as a guest - I don’t share any of my info or link to social media, so the developer generates no useful data off me to sell to marketers. Of course the developer will refute all of this, but it’s common sense. It’s still a fun game if you don’t mind the fact that you’re going to get hosed periodically. Just don’t get too worked up about it.

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!!!!!

Game is rigged

I play this game a lot. I also have played for years and I am good. I play Challenging all the time. The algorithm is rigged. It occurred to me that when you go from standard to challenging what toggles that difference? Does it add a second deck, of course not! Does bring in a better computer, nope! It intentionally deals bad hands. You get dealt hands that at best in any combination bar the flip card will give 8 while the computer will get 12 and 20 hands it is rigged, there can be no other way. The amount of times this happens is really quit amazing. I started to track it because it was so bad but happened in to many variations and too often to be able to come up with a percentage. Final example I have tested it against itself by doing what I call “hint play” that is only playing the hints and still get the same result. I still play because of two reasons. One other crib games are worse and even more obvious, two it is so predictable I use it to teach my kid how to play and I can play off of knowing what the algorithm is going to do🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

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.

Great game but...

There needs to be a way to boot a player who has exceeded their time limit and been inactive for more than a few minutes. It’s too easy for people to pad their stats in multiplayer by joining a game and then just not doing anything forcing you to either wait a really long time or forfeit the game. That’s not fair that you should have to forfeit if they’re deliberately not playing. And you can’t rate them if you forfeit so you only see good ratings because of it. Tonight I had a guy pull this and I wanted to see how long it would take. It tried disconnecting him after 20 minutes but he just rejoined and started over. I finally proved more stubborn than him after another 5 minutes, but I have the time to do that right now. Most people don’t.Edit (response to developer response): I absolutely have a time limit set. I set the limit for 15 seconds. It does not boot them but just gives a message that the player has exceeded their time limit. But it doesn’t end the game or do anything but give me a guide to rate them as slow/distracted. The example I gave was a multiplayer game with a 15 second time limit and it was still 25 minutes of nothing.

Fine game, deleting over the ads

I have had this game for years and have played it. I often play it when I am sitting in my young daughters rooms while she can’t sleep for some reason. It is a quiet low key game that keeps me entertained. Tonight was one such night as we are having severe weather (lightening and thunder that is keeping her awake). We are also under a tornado watch, so having my phone on silent is not a good idea. I have the game play to silent and my ringer to silent, but I do have sound on at least on low in case a tornado alarm goes off. After 45 minutes, I was finally able to leave her room as she passed on enough to no longer be alerted to me not being in the room with the storm. And then an ad popped up with full volume. It isn’t the first one, but it hasn’t been regular in the past until recently. But this one was the last straw. It woke her up. So I had a wide eye toddler who now I have to restart the entire routine with to get her sleep and asleep enough she isn’t noticing I am no longer in the room with her as she is scared.

Computer opponent will sometimes steal your crib points

On “Brutal” mode, the computer opponent will sometimes steal your crib points. Example: It was my deal. In my crib was a flush of four for four points. I scored the four points, but when I submitted the score, the game pegged the points for the computer opponent. I initially thought that I was just “going crazy” or not paying close enough attention or I just rushed through it and didn’t see it correctly. After the match, I hit the “Deja Vú” button to replay the game. I paid particular attention to that one hand. And sure enough it scored the points for the computer opponent, just this time it scored 2 for the computer and 2 for me. I still should have had all four. I replayed the game several times, and each time, on that deal, some, if not all, of my crib points went to to computer opponent. I have played different matches since then. While it doesn’t happen every match, it happens often enough to make this game infuriating, especially on close matches where those points were the difference between a win and a loss. And, there is not way to “mug” the points back to you or to correct the score.

I’m trying to figure out why it’s fixed, but it’s still fun!

I primarily play multiplayer. The game isn’t rigged in the sense that when I lose against a better player, I’m throwing a temper tantrum. But rather, it deals excessively good hands to either me or my opponent. In fact, at this point, I’m pretty sure how the game will play out within the first few hands. Wins can feel cheap and losses totally out of your control. I’ve played a lot of real life cribbage as well, and the disparity in points is glaring. My working theory is that it’s much like the rule changes in the NFL. People got tired off watching games end 7-3 (not me-love some defense!), so they changed the rules to make scoring easier and therefore increase viewership/revenue. I guess players find it more exciting to get 24 point hands out of nowhere, rather than grinding out 4-10 point hands which is much more realistic. That being said, the proof is in the pudding, because I’m totally hooked. There are a lot of good players, the gameplay is smooth, and at least the pegging portion seems realistic.

Favoritism

The reviews about the computer getting better hands is 100% correct. The developer says that all hands are dealt completely randomly. But the developer does not say the cut is random. It is completely unrealistic how many times the cut helps the computers hand and crib. While the hands may be dealt randomly, the computer knows exactly what’s in each players hand and helps the computer. Also, in multiplayer mode - if you are a new player or don’t play very often- the computer gives better hands to the player who plays a lot of games. They know the player who plays a lot is going to see the advertising more, therefore want them to come back and gives them better hands to win. There is no denying these points, no matter what the developer says.
