Fixes to allow for playing while offline to help you achieve maximum Pai Sho every day.
It’s great that there’s an app for this and it works well, except unfortunately notifications don’t occur when your opponent moves which would be nice if that worked. I’m on iOS I have the most recent version and notifications are enabled in my preferences.

The best
If you’re even considering getting this app, do it! Plenty of games and their very easy to learn. You can play against ai in most games, play against a random player, or even play against a friend. The app doesn’t crash and works very well, but if you turn on notifications it won’t really give you any notifications for games. Besides that, the app is very fun and ideal for people who like games that require strategy and planning. I fully recommend it to anyone thinking about getting it.

Amazing fun!
A lot of fun! Needs an update, but it’s very smooth! Tons of game modes to play, still plenty of active games, but the leaderboards still haven’t been implemented. No problem though, still so fun! A great way to learn Pai Sho, if you haven’t played before solitaire mode may be a good starting point before learning Skud.

Can’t play from app
Giving this a one star since I’m not able to actually play the game from the app. It does track and monitor when it’s my turn but when I go to my games and click on the game it does not pull up the current game. I have to log on a computer and go to the website in order to continue playing or start a new pie sho game. Will redo review once issue is resolved I’d really love to be able to play the game on the go don’t always have access to a computer.

Wonderful
I love this game! The whole game feels new, but familiar enough to learn quickly. The app runs better than some million dollar products. I can’t give this enough praise.

Doesn’t work :(
I was super excited to play the game, but unfortunately, when I open the app, I’m met with a blank white screen and nothing will load. I’ve tried to close out the app, restart my phone, and even redownload the app, but nothing worked.
Info manners,
Great game
