Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great game play. Need an online element.
We call this Thai Thee but this game its spade , heart , club , diamond.
It would be great if they had the option for the quad for 13 cards, triple for ten cards and double for 8 cards. The real gambling experience.
We love the game. The only down side is we have iPhone 12 and we dont get full screen.
Used to play all the time in high school. Its some nice nostalgia and a great game experience.
Best version of Big2 available on iTunes.
AI is a bit stupid. But otherwise flawless. Scorekeeping is just like playing with our homies. DPG.
The games enjoyable. The mini score card screen should maybe be placed above the deck instead of over it. Aside from that its fun.
Suggest to separate the PASS button from the other one. We have pressed the PASS button by mistake quite a few time when we really want is to use the SUIT button.
We just learned this game and this app is helping us improve our skills. A few suggestions, the screen does not take into account iPhone Xs notched screen, so some of the info is cut off. The AI could be stronger with perhaps different skill settings. We think really skilled players can easily beat the current app. We are even playing at parity with it. Have different scoring methods and even penalties for having deuces when game is over. Thanks.
Should have live option so you can challenge friends online. Should also have difficulty levels, the computer plays very badly.
Not designed for iPhones 10 or higher. Deal is not random enough. Too many low straights and full houses are dealt compared to other apps and irl. Opponents make stupid plays.
Finally… A big 2 game that really rocks. Just don't like the advertisement blocking player opposite of us but otherwise, great game.
We forgot how many rounds we played.
Won't stop redirecting to the App Store.
We've deleted and re-added, updated, etc. For some reason it keeps repeatedly opening up our App Store e erytime we play.
Played a game and we passed. We were still able to play the same hand. No multiplayer No customization.
This game is rigged!! We lose almost everytime! We get bad cards and lose double or triple amounts while the opponents win easily. No new updates at all! We are about to delete it now. This game is rigged and boring.
This is good but still needs fixes pare.
Could be better with the shuffling of the cards and if there was an end to a round. First to 100 loses, game over. Or include betting system where player earns and best coins. Chip per card. Pusoy dos is our favorite card game.
The cards in this game are not dealt randomly, and thus creates a false difficulty. Youll quickly see that the computer players get better cards most of the time. The creator clearly does not know the statistics of shuffling and dealing. This excuses them to create dumber AI players. The game is also buggy and crashes a lot. Options are not saved and sometimes reset when resuming games. We would not recommend this version of Big 2 there are better ones out there.
Horrible "randomization" of cards. Who gets four of a kinds for four out of ten games. The probability does not match up. It's not impossible but it is improbable. Two is okay but three and four is not.
The way this app ranks flushes is wrong. By default a flush should be ranked by the highest card in the hand. So if we play a deuce of spades high flush, someone would have to play a full house or better to beat it. The app currently says a 2 a, 9,8,7 of hearts beats a 2,a,9,8,6 of spades flush… Shouldn't do that… If you change to rank flushes by suit first then a 10 high spades flush would beat an ace high heart flush, which again is wrong.
Great app!!! It's pretty great and a bit challenging. Keep up the great work! :D.
Can't play the game because it crashes when we click on the "Deal" button. We wish we can rate the game but since we've never played it…mainly, we just need some app support.
Don't download, this game covers the opposite player's hand with advertisements unless you buy! Cheap way of trying to get a buck.
2.99 for removing ads just to see the opponents hand? Also, preferential shuffling? That's the dumbest game we have ever played.
Can't see opponent makes the game boring!!! Uninstalling.
Horrible placement of ads. Can't see opponents number of cards severely hampers strategy. $1.99? Definitely not worth it. Uninstalling.
Forced ads block top opponents cards. Cant see can't win. Uninstalling now. What a shame.
Very simple to use, no bug, no fancy image like other big 2 app. But it will be better placing ads elsewhere.
Winner and last throw of 2 should lessen points on their score. Anybody who left 2 on their hand should add points to their score.
Whenever the ads for ivdopia come up, the game transfers out automatically to the ad without the screen being touched. Very annoying. Love the game but hate the ads which need to be fixed before we'll use it again.
Ugh we love big 2 but seriously the ads are driving us insane so we are deleting this app immediately ads are aweful.
Big 2 is a favorite of ours so this is a treat. Especially for a free to play. Ads are annoying and computer AI is too easy, but it's free! Wondering if you can change the burns… Or network play would make this a life saver. Hate shuffling.
It's glitchy, has banner ads, crashes and has forced ads. We liked the old version and this new one is garbage. Don't get it.
Liked the game, but those forced ads are nonsense.
We liked this app before they started running banner ads during the game. The ads cause the game to glitch and crash. Deleting now.
We know the creator is trying to generate some revenue with his creation but there are better ways of doing such. The recent updates have been awful. We're so scared to update the game because he might make us click on even more ads. Suggestion: how about ad clicks when user loses with 10 plus cards. You totally defeat the purpose of big 2 if u base it on loses. It's about how to win with a bad hand.
All the time random ads pop up, either blocking the view or just being annoying. After three losses in a row u have to click on the ad which brings you to another screen then u have to click home and go back to the app. Sometimes though, hen you have to click on the ad,its not even the right one! This stinks, go find yourself another app.
The Ads are terrible and sometimes the game stalls when there is no Ad to click on even though it asks you to do so. The computer plays the cards in a predictable manner. Find yourself another game.
Hate to click on the ads feel so annoying hope can fix it soon.
It's annoying enough that you have to tap on the ad to continue the game. It's even more annoying is when you have to tap on the ad to continue but there are no ads for you to tap on!!! We guess that's how they get you to buy the full version.
Ads render the game almost unplayable, buggy game play and u have to visit the ad if u lose three time in a row, worst update ever.
Once you loose 3 timed in a row you have to click on ad each time you keep loosing. As if the already super intrusive ad that sits over all your cards wasn't bad enough. The game is solid. A shame greediness will keep us from continuing to play this game.
Good game only problem is the adds but it's not to bad.
Before update ,, bad update,, you could see the cards after the game was over as to what they had left,,, adds keep blinking and makes it un enjoyable.
We really love this game thats y we have this effort to review the app. We really love this game and we were really happy to get this for free. KUDOS guys. Tho,we believe in continuous improvement and we have some suggeations.:).. It might be better if the pass button is at the leftmost coz the by rank/by suit button is always used and mistakenly taps the pass button maybebcoz of our big fingers.at the right of pass should be suggest button and at the rightmost is the play. Or maybe 2rows in which there could not be mistakes on unintended taps for more aqesome plauing ergonomics..:) yet, im still satisfied wirh wat is is ryt now.tho improving it wud be much better, so as the ads location.:).
This was an awesome app until the update. Now the ads are in the way of our cards and the game is virtually unplayable. Thanks alot guys.
