Extreme Hand and Foot Reviews
Its stop telling us when its our turn. To play. We love this game.
Any chance of adding an optional chat feature?
This is by far our favorite. It is challenging, fun and addictive. We play it when we should be doing chores. Play it and you will love it. No kidding!
Our friends and we played this all during Covid and beyond. Love the options that you can change such as number of wilds and when you can add to melds.
We love playing this game but it stopped giving us any notifications of when our opponent moved. It did for a long time give those notifications then randomly stopped. We have notifications turned on on both phone and the game and it still wont notify us. Kind of takes some of the fun out it.
The AI cheats. It puts unrelated cards into an existing Samba and then changes their suits and values so they meld into that Samba. However, the AI apparently cant cheat fast enough to avoid a screenshot. We have sets of screenshots of 14 separate occasions showing unrelated cards in the AIs Samba followed immediately by a second screenshot showing those unrelated cards changed to make their suits and values meld into the existing Samba. That said, we find we still really enjoy this app. We do insist that it start a new game whenever it cheats, but since Im always way ahead when it happens, we suspect Im being manipulated instead of levying a penalty. Lol.
Fun to play. No bugs. Challenging.
When AI is left after picking up the discard pile, loaded with BLACK THREEs & we go out, AI does not get charged the 100 points per the 3s. There have been many times the discard pile will change its contents. We have noticed this multiple times. There may have been a Joker as the initial discard and when the pile is picked up totally the Joker is not there. In the last hand we played there was a 7 of Diamonds in the discard pile (that we needed for a Sambas) when we picked the pile up it became a 7 of Hearts. We enjoy beating the AI (High Score) and Even when the game cheats, we’ve won.
The notifications have stopped working. You have open the app up to see if its your turn. This must have happened during an update.
We love this card game, its one of our favorites. However, when playing with AI, its totally unfair and its becoming annoying and not fun anymore. Whenever we discard a card, we seem to always pick it back up again, every song time. The AI, always picks up a card it needs but it takes us several rounds before we can get the card we actually need. But by that time, AI goes out. We love a challenge but the cards are not randomized. We’ve been playing this game for years.
Even on our oversized iPhone Pro max its a strain to read the cards. Otherwise, its a terrific version of the game. We hope for a redesign with larger images theres plenty of room on the screen.
We are torn, we love this game, we love playing both the computer or with friends across the country. But there are so many glitches in the app it becomes very frustrating to play; such as: in the middle of a hand it will close the hand, saying you or your opponent went out when in fact neither did or when we discard and on our next turn it shows we still have the cards we played and discarded previously! We dont mind paying for the app but we wish they would take a hard look at it and fix all the bugs!
Hi James, Extreme Hand and Foot. . . (playing the game on the iPad, in landscape mode, and off-line). We have played this game 2 or 3 times a day since you first published it in the Apple App Store, decades ago! We have sent you several letters in the past asking you to . . . PLEASE, PLEASE and PLEASE BOLD the circle and number on the Navy Blue Card playing Table. Or, change the Navy Blue Card playing Table to a Light Blue color, because it is almost impossible to see the small faded black circled numbers on the Navy Blue Card playing Table. Thank you for considering this request on your next update. If you fulfill this request, we will give Extreme Hand and Foot a star rating in the Apple App reviews, that you and your artistic skillful team deserve! Thank you. April B.
Yes the numbers are small but there are lots of cards, we get it. With that said the game is addictive and a blast. We grew up playing this game. We just got our son playing it as well. We made attempts to play together however that is where the issues are; in order to play the game together we have to manually update the game. It kept telling us that it was waiting on the other player even when he finished. That extra step really is a pain in the butt. Fix that and we promise we will play until late in the evening.
We love playing this game however the game stoped giving notifications.
We just tried the online option. Our opponents turn does not show up on our iPad so we dont know when he has played. We checked and it appears that we have the latest update. We think that we would enjoy playing online if it worked correct.
Not random at all. Computer dude gets many red 3s, we get the black ones. Hes out before we have enough points to even lay down cards.
Our friend and we have played this for years but now it wont tell us when the other has played so we cant play any more. Please help.
Been playing forever. Suddenly the rules are changed, which we’ve never played by or understand. Something changed. Please help. We are so sad!
We’ve had this app for several years now and we still love it! Plays fast, its clean and not all cluttered or overly animated. The developer has kept up with it, making improvements and fixed over time. Its all around really great! You should get it if youre looking for a good, simple hand and foot app.
Sometimes you dont want to take time to teach friends how to play this super fun yet complex game or take the time to set up for the game this app is perfect! You get to choose if you want to play the jail break version with sambas and canastas or to play the original way (I suggest the jail break version 100%) The layout is simple and easy to learn read (some say they are to small of font to read – maybe an option in the future would be to a have bigger card option?) Otherwise we how this creator continues making these games without adds every 5 minutes. We would happily buy a game from them again! (Maybe look into the game Bezique? We would love to get in your game style!)
Great game! One of our favorite all time card games.
The best app out there for HandandFoot. Super polished and works very well. Customization is pretty great but we would like to see the option to choose how many clean or dirty books it takes to go out. Rather than extreme and normal. HandandFoot seems to be a game with rules that change slightly depending on the family. We play with three clean two dirty to go out so it would be nice to adjust this, because we can just see our mom and Aunt throwing a fit about that if we try to play this in multiplayer.
Im giving it 4 stars because we hate how it sometimes says its our turn after the other player played and then it tells us waiting for other player so we have to forfeit a lot of the time because it wont let us have our turn.
Fun game but only 2 red/clean canastas and 2 black/dirty needed to go out. Not challenging enough! :( Please make this customizable, where users can set the number of each type of canasta required in order to go out. For example, our card-playing group requires a minimum of 5 red books, 2 black books, 1 Bolivia (wilds), and 1 book of 7s in order to go out. It would be awesome to be able to set these requirements in this app. We guarantee more people would buy this app with that feature.
Very hard to see card numbers. Would be nice to be able to pick a deck of cards with larger numbers.
We play this game daily. We dont have friends to play with so Im stuck playing the computer. We win ALOT~ but we feel the computer cheats so regardless of playing Im getting sick of it. Id rather loose to a fair game than win a rigged game. UPDATE: deleting app. Im sick of playing a rigged game.
We love this version of the game , but is there any way to make the cards bigger? We can hardly make them out.
We enjoyed this game a lot until we realized that the computer gives the person that is not winning a huge advantage. If you are ahead of the computer it will make the computer have to start with less than you. Very unreal since when playing for real you would never give the opponent an easier in.
Love the game- but annoyed that the counters disappear between hands fix that please!
We play this game every day! Learned it originally from friends. Always fun online or in person with standard playing cards. We never get tired of playing it.
Love the game. Hard to play on phone. Hard or impossible to correct inadvertent mistake like discarding a wild card when you were aiming for something else, or to quit a lost cause and start another game.
It would be great if the your turn button was in the bottom right corner. The top left where it pops up now is under the sign in for Game Center. Also Id like to be able to turn off autosort where we can arrange sambas in our hands without having to do it after every draw.
Its not the same as beating our sisters but its still fun. We play on our phone with spectacles and a pointy thing stylus?
Fun game with friends that is very addictive!!!!
A great game for families and holiday fun.
We like the game very much. We play with friends. We want to know how many decks of cards are we playing with? Or is it unlimited? Thanks for making such a good game.
We’ve gotten in a group of card playing ladies & always have to ask questions. Now we wont have to anymore! Its very fun & addictive!!
This game goes haywire on IOS15.1. Are there any plans to correct it! We hope so!
We’ve been playing this game for a couple years and really love it. But just this WEEK, a new glitch appeared playing against AI on an Ipad. If you have enough melds that it goes over to a second page, the game locks and will not allow you to swipe left to the second page. Therefore youre not able to add to or work on any melds on the second page and cannot create any new ones. This makes the game on usable. In addition the main page goes off-center to the right and will not recenter itself. This is never happened before. Please fix.
There have been many times the discard pile will change its contents. We have noticed this multiple times. There may have been a Joker as the initial discard and when the pile is picked up totally the Joker is not there. In the last hand we played there was a 7 of Diamonds in the discard pile (that we needed for a Sambas) when we picked the pile up it became a 7 of Hearts. We enjoy beating the AI (High Score), as out of 572 games, we’ve only lost 10 in single player. Even when the game cheats, we’ve won.
While you can play and see it on the iPhone (I was using a 12 Pro Max), it doesnt allow you to back out navigate on the screen. We had turn on our accessibility touch so that we had a virtual home button so that we could get back out to the home screen or to go somewhere else. Otherwise we were stuck rebooting our phone. Very much a pain. This takes away all the fun features from it. Ended us being not worth the money, and this app was pricier than most. Our recommendation if you want to play on your phone is to use another app instead of this one.
We purchased this game. Just figuring it out. But it wont let us discard. Is there a trick to it?
Only to have it to continue to glitch out! It wouldnt even alert when it was our turn! We had to go to the info menu and re-click into online, and then click back into the game to get it to startup and get to our turn again. So frustrating that we spend four bucks on this.
Not working on iPad 12 or iPhone 12 Pro Max since iOS 15.0 update. Please update.
We play this game daily with our friends thousand miles away, sure it has few quirks but it is the best game we have found.
Slightly different game but fun like Canasta.
