Description

It’s not a card game. It’s every card game. The Card Table gives you a virtual deck of cards so you can play any of your favorite card games. You are in charge of the rules, such as how many cards to deal, how to keep score, and how to take turns. If you know how to play a game with a physical deck of cards, you can play it with The Card Table—without needing to shuffle!

An iPad or Mac becomes your card table, players keep their hands on their iPhone, iPad, Mac, or iPod touch, and you “pass” cards between devices. Players’ devices connect to the iPad via Bluetooth and/or Wifi. The magic is in the direct communication between devices. When you pass a card it doesn’t go through a server—it goes directly from one device to the next! Now you can easily play your favorite games on road trips or airplanes.

*** At least one iPad or Mac and another iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with at least iOS 13 or a Mac with at least macOS 10.15.5 required***

Built for iOS 14 & 15

The Card Table Reviews

This app is great for when your in the car or on a plane and you dont have a deck of cards or using cards is a hassle. It is also great for playing cards around a little kids who get too grabby with the deck!


U have to b around ppl u cannot play virtually????


Changing our review from one star to five. When we purchased this app a year ago, it didnt function at all. With the latest update, it works perfectly. We use it to play cards with a friend who is paralyzed, and we love it. The app has multiple decks to choose from (Standard, Uno, Phase 10, and more), score keeping, shuffling, and even hiding your hand before setting down your phone. Thank you for taking the time to build this app and fix the bugs! Our friend and we will use it often :)


We have an Android phone and cant use it.


What an awesome concept! Now our family can use our phones to actually play something together. We’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time. 5 stars!


Although it’s a few years old, this game is still one of our family’s favorite with lots of flexibility for any card game and has an easy interface for the kids. It is even great for poker night or when the kids want to play in the car on road trips.


We love this app! We always forget our cards, and when we want to play cards we never have them around! Thanks to Card Table it’s no longer a problem!! Such a good idea. The people who made this are genius!!


Absolutely brilliant use of iOS technology. Super easy to set up devices and start a game. Use was intuitive and SO well thought out. Five Stars, and totally worth the cost.


Really well done. Multiplayer over Bluetooth is genius. Highly recommended.


We played big 2 with another player and it worked great. It was a bit of a learning curve though.


You need to have the app on all the devices involved, which must include at least 1 iPad and one other iPhone or iPad & have wifi and/or Bluetooth enabled on all devices. We bought, downloaded & were playing in minutes. Played Uno & 7 card gin rummy. Loved the flexibility in Freeplay to play any card game. Use the app tutorial to help you set up the card game of your choice (# decks, # cards in the deal, piles on the table, etc) & it’s a breeze. Um, you DO need to know how to play the card game of your choice YOURSELF, it’s not an app that teaches you HOW to play a game, but rather a VERY AWESOME app that you can use to replace a physical deck of cards to play ANY card game you like in a FUN way with your Apple devices. Can’t wait to play with more family! This is a keeper.


This app is insane. You can literally play any card game you want. Even Uno.


This is pretty much the coolest thing we’ve used our iPad and iPhone for!


A must have for any card gamer. We were easily able to create custom card setups for unusual games such as Sixty Six in minutes.


Love this app, we wish there was a way to distinguish high and low joker for Pitch!


This app is the best virtual card deck that you will find.


Perfect for almost every card game!


Great for traveling. Only suggestion would be to provide a card for the phases of phase 10.


Very handy to have when no card packs are available. Seems to disconnect quite a often though, and for the lazy, would be nice to have some preset basic games, such as poker, rummy, solitaire.


We love this app. It makes geeks like us love poker even more. Needs some tweaking on connectivity. I’d pay for fancy designs if we knew the app wouldn’t crash. Add a chip counter (poker) and you guys would be rockin! Please update the app and keep up with support.


Gameplay is quite awesome, swiping cards from device to device is a beautiful concept. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options make even Road trips possible when Wi-Fi does not exist. However there are some small flaws that need fixing and some recommendations we would like to make. Each time we start the game we must repurchase the free card table background. This is a minor inconvenience but fixing it would make it a lot better. We understand the game is free, but please let us purchase an ad free version. We use this with our family and would prefer not to have advertisements popping up on their displays. Please add some type of auto stacking teacher for playing games such as Rummy. When throwing down cards and games like Remi, there does not seem to be enough room on the "iPad table" for two players let alone four players. Overall this app is excellent and we would like to give it five stars, if you would at least allow us to purchase an ad free version. Thank you for the great game.


We have been looking for something of this sort for a VERY long time, and we were filled with joy when we stumbled upon this app. We began right away and played with two of our friends, having to single our third friend out because we didnt have enough devices, as his ipad was the table. It was very fun to have the freedom of all card games with no cards. We did think cards were a bit quicker and easier to handle. The main reason we got the app was to be able to play cards with friends wherever we went, whether in the car or on vacation or even on a long plane ride. BUT, in order for devices to connect, it requires all devices to be connected to wifi. Because of this, most people will only be able to play in settings where it has a wifi router, which usually means its in a place where physical cards become more relevant. In short, we love this concept, but it needs to need no wifi connection and rely solely on bluetooth connection in orde to play. Thanls dor reading.


Please spend our $2 to put the "iPad required" at the TOP of the description. We guess we should have read all the way through but we followed a link from an article recommending it.


But we can not suffer a paid app that still has ads in it.


Rarely do we find an iOS app that does not work at all. This is such an app. IPad Air 1 and iPad Air 2 right next to each other. Loaded with iOS 8.1.2, the latest rev. This app works as well as it ever didn’t. We bought it a few months ago and did not give it this well deserved review. Now, we feel a tad cranky and want to share the worthlessness of this app. Do not spend a minute on it.


Took over 10 minutes to get everyone connected after a lot of trying and retrying. Finally get a game of Uno setup and the table was completely blank and there was no way to re-read the tutorial.


We went to get the free green background while in this app, and it said we still had to login to our Apple account to get the free background. No problem, this is common. After we entered our password we got barraged with "confirm purchase pop-ups". It did not matter if we clicked "confirm" or "cancel" it kept asking, over and over. So we’re clicking "confirm", "confirm" then we noticed its asking us to confirm a $1.99 card design, then a $1.99 something else. We almost hit confirm (I might of) but we then started hitting "cancel". The pop-ups started coming faster now–I could not even delete the app, or open other app it was blocking our system. It was a nightmare. We had to do a force restart. Of course the first thing we did was to delete this app from our iPad and iPhone.


Very disappointing that we have to sign up through Game Center to be able to play. Not interested to try until Game Center access is no longer necessary.


Awful! Not for true card players. Too slow Fall asleep before the next person receive His hand.


We would have loved to use this app but we couldn’t figure out whose turn it was–silly.


We can’t get the iPad to connect to the phones to play a game. We have Bluetooth and wifi connected for all devices, but no luck. Good idea but very, very poor execution. We want to get our money back.


Both our husband and we downloaded this app to play cards, and we never were able to start the game. Our iPad never loaded the app. Now we are out $4. Waste of time!


Our impression was that we would be able to play cards with friends and family in different places, but we have to be on the same wifi server as those we’re playing with. We can use a traditional deck of cards for that.


The iphone doesn’t connect and the iPad doesn’t get beyond the ‘drag players’ screen. Nice idea. Let us know when you get it actually working.


All we get is a blurry screen. Doesnt do anything. Waste of money and doubt Id get it back from the sounds of others who we read who ran into the same thing.


Uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted etc.


No longer works!!! Dont buy it.


App doesnt work. IPad just has black screen, iPhone connects but just has a spinning circle. Thanks.


We bought this app with the understanding that we turn our iPad into a "virtual card table". We thought that would be great to be able to play cards with someone sitting next to you. What they didn’t explain what is it you need 2 or more iPads/iPhones in order to have a "virtual card table". After downloading an opening the app, we quickly realized we had misled. We have had the app several months now, but have been unable to use it! Don’t throw your money away! We’ve already deleted the app off our device.


It worked when we first got it but won’t work now. We emailed their support, that didn’t work either. Your results may vary but we wouldnt count on it.


After purchasing and downloading, the app did not even load. How can we get our money back??


If this app is outdated and no longer works, please remove it from the app store. The app will literally not load anything when we open it. We were hoping to have a virtual card deck to use for teaching, but this is now pretty much just a scam.


Purchased this to play with hubby as he purchased it also… Nowhere does it tell you you need Game Center… It cant be played on later IOS updates.


This could have been designed much better. Additionally, it crashes and closes constantly.


We have restarted our iPad, updated iPad, uninstalled app, and reinstalled app and it still will not work for us. It works with our iPhone but not on our iPad mini can yo please fix this issue or at least give us some tips on how to fix this. Whenever we click on the app it pops up but then closes its self.
