Community Insight:
Spiele schon seit meiner Kindheit Skat. Diese App ist gut entwickelt, und toll konfigurierbar. Die Sprche sind ein bisschen 'Cheesy', aber ganz unterhaltsam.
Level ziemlich professionell, online Version in Arbeit.
Macht spass, geht sehr schnell! Gute Ausfhrung! Wrde gerne Mit Gegner Online spielen.
Klar, das Spiel ist kostenlos. Das bedeutet nicht, dass es stndig mit Werbung unterbrochen sein soll.
Gutes Spiel, aber die neue Werbung ist unntig und strt.
Game is full of errors. Doesn't add scores correctly. Game should be removed from App Store. Game is a complete joke.
We just found this App and have been playing a lot the past days. Used to play the PC version some years ago. Plenty of fun and easy to use.
Everything seems to work fine. Only when playing Null/Null Ouvert it seems as if one player plays high cards first. E.g. An ace and another one. We like the game a lot and enjoy it.
How do you expect a person to play or review..the stupid game is in German.
We really enjoy the game but hate all the ad pop ups which breaks the game continuity.
Number 1, best card game in the world. Played this game now for almost 25 years. SW is perfect.
The implementation of the game is great, but the newly introduced English version is terrible and incomplete. Please allow language selection in the games settings menu.
We selected English but not everything is in English, especially the tips. Please fix as we dont read nor speak German.
Very good but the ads are a bit tiresome.
We like this game, we just wish we could choose English for the language. We cant read German. The developer responded that we could choose English as the language. We have done that, but the tips are still in German as are some of pop ups in the settings area. Please have the language for all communications use the selected setting.
Die Werbung berlagert die Spielkarten und irritiert total beim Spiel. Sie kann nicht ausgeblendet werden. Zumindest bei mir funktioniert es nicht. Ansonsten ist es eigentlich eine coole Skat-App.
This is a great app. What else is included in the paid version.
The online game kicks us off with a You are not connected messages midway through the game. Very frustrating. Please look into this.
With iOS 14 update the app constantly crashes. Makes it impossible to play.
This app is fantastic , weve been using the online function for our Skatverein to meet up during the global lockdown. The only thing wed like to see is a possibility of a 4 person game option as sometimes we have an uneven number for 3 person games.
It allows you to invite friends but you cant play with them. Whats the point if you have to play random people.
Too many ads, stupid nonsensical plays by computer, glitchy.
Please fix a bug: Deutsch in tutorial even when it's English switched on.
Would love for the trainer portion to have an English option. Allows us to play Skat with our brother and stepdad that live 2500miles away. Thanks.
Echt super mit allen mglichen Spiel-Varianten.
It is disappointing that you cant play random real players like with other game apps. We dont have any friends that play that we can invite so we cant play any real games.
Simply wonderful, this very hard card game unfortunately has so few players around the globe that the app is very welcome. The interface is very good and albeit the computers still doing some un-logical moves and one getting used to how the algorithms work, is very recommendable if you know how to play. We cannot say how well suited it is to teach the game however, although the new Daniels training section surely improves this.
Great game and very entertaining.
Mssig wrde ich sagen. Aber man lernt den Computer auszutricksen. Man ist zudem verschont von krankhaft ordinren Mitspielern wie in anderen Apps Nicht besser geworden, eher schlechter, vielleicht wechselt es ja noch einmal den Besitzer, die Stammtischkumpel sind out of date, sorry Leute.
Good app! We wish we could see "letzter Stich", and turn off the annoying, ever repeating comments.. But otherwise, solid app.
Not absolutely great, not bad. Basic Features,Rules work well. Usually we win which makes you wonder… Players don't play Ramsch well, we get Kontra too often when the opponents have absolutely no chance of winning. Using the for free version, would be great to turn the ads off.
Dieses Skatsprogramm ist prima programmiert. Die Spieler machen kaum Fehler, wenn man auf offensiv und gutes Gedchtnis stellt. Mit dem letzten Update aus Februar 2016 ist noch mal ein toller Sprung nach vorne gemacht worden. Mir gefllt es auerordentlich gut. Und es ist eine realistische Herausforderung. Im realen Leben, wenn man gegen wirklich sehr gute Spieler spielt, z b auf Turnieren, ist deren Qualitt aber deutlich hher. Trotzdem kann ich sagen es wird kaum Fehler gemacht und es wird auf einem mittleren Turnier Level gespielt.
Way too many ads. Constant interruptions. We have to put it on airplane mode to play.
