More about money than a game. This is a well executed game, and it was very fun … Until it became obvious it was more about the money than about the game. Shame on Mattel for partnering with a company that is so interested in digging money out of users it makes the original game disliked instead of remembered fondly. In the beginning, I loved playing against the computer players, even if they have the advantage consistently. What is irritating, and ultimately makes the game boring, is the constant demand for money in order to get any additional advantages. Most other games of this type that are well done provide more frequent ability to earn advantages, and I don’t mean earned by watching ads. Here there are very few, infrequent, unrelated. Therefore, there is no actual drive to keep playing if you don’t want to keep paying or watching ads. I could complain about it being unfair, but of course it is. They are all unfair, but this game is consistently slanted to provoke a human to lose in order to encourage use of advantages and power ups. It is the constant pop-ups, with the default preset to use cash only power ups and no settings to tune defaults, that makes it boring. Too bad because I could’ve been a lifelong player; instead, this was a two week excursion to boredom and disappointment.

Game is fun but super unfair. I’ve enjoyed playing phase 10 with my family for a while now so when I discovered this app I was really excited to play it, the first week it was fun and addicting but after that it’s not even worth playing. The computers cheat so badly, 9/10 they will have exactly what they need as soon as the round starts while you’re lucky to even get a set of 3 and if you’re one card away from going down the computer before you will do anything to keep you from going down, you’ll get skipped 2-3 times in a row or the computer will just pick up a card from the discard pile and immediately discard that same card to keep you from potentially grabbing a card you need from the discard pile (which is smart gameplay but they do it before they even go down so it’s like they know what you need). You’ll play on the same level over and over again for hours or sometimes days even only to get one star when you finally complete the level. And another bad thing is it takes 5 energy to play one round whether you win or lose and it takes 5 minutes to just get one energy so when you’re out of energy you have to wait 30 minutes to just play one round which you’ll most likely get set within the first 30 seconds of the round starting so it’s not even worth trying. This game has lots of potential to be a really fun game but the computers need to cut their cheating crap and give you a chance to enjoy it

Could be an amazing game but needs to fix algorithm!. A huge fan of phase 10, a very fun family game… with that being said, the computer players are given way too many wild cards and/or they complete the phase within 1-2 turns. I understand that it’s more than possible for that to occur in real life (I play this game often with my family) but it happens way too often in the app. The algorithm isn’t adding up! Almost every single time I start a new phase the computer completes their phase within 1-3 turns and I’m lucky if even finish before they completely discard. On a side note, what is the point of coins? The diamonds are what buys things within the game, so why the heck do the coins not buy the diamonds??? Definitely a design flaw. I have 800plus coins and no diamonds. The coins need to busy diamonds or be used to buy the things that the diamonds can buy. Another side note, the mini challenges that kinda relate to gameplay are immensely stupid. If I wanted to roll dice and watch me go around board i I would play a board game, if I want to decorate a Christmas themed entry way I would download a design game. I would spend that time and money perfecting the game that people actually download to play. Just saying.

Glitchy, money centered, and unfair!. Everything in this game is designed to get you to purchase something. 5 energy just to do PART of a level, even if you beat it. Most games, you only use energy or lives when you lose a level, but this one you use 5 every time. Not to mention it is 5 minutes to gain back ONE energy so it’s about half an hour for every PART of a level. Including the fact that since the computers often go out before you can even draw a card it takes several tries for each PART of a level, it’s very clear that they are trying to get you to purchase more energy or gems that you use to purchase energy. Also, I have noticed that lately when I do multiplayer, when I get back in the app, I have 0 coins. There was once when I had over 500 coins, lost 320, then returned and had 0. And just now I played a multiplayer match with 100 coins when i started. Won the match, won about 300 coins in it, but now is showing I have 0. Even though you cannot do anything with coins but multiplayer, it is a nice way to pass time while you are waiting half an hour to try your level again. Only reason I am playing this is because of the quarentine I am so bored. The only reviews I see for this app are negative yet they have a 4.8 star rating. Another glitch perhaps.

Has Potential, But Falls Short. The game is fun at the start because they give you extra energy to get you hooked at the start, and ads don’t appear as much. However, once you continue playing for awhile, you quickly run out of energy, and ads are after every single hand, sometimes lasting 30 seconds. It takes 25 minutes to load enough energy to start a SINGLE hand. That’s ridiculous. It takes $2 to buy enough gems to play 6 hands. You might not even finish a single level in the later journeys with that much money, which I think is unacceptable. Considering other fabulous strategy game apps, such as Settlers of Catan or Seven Wonders, are available for $5 or less, including the entire game capability, this whole app just feels like a money grab. You can pay $3 for the apps to go away, which is fine, except it doesn’t solve the energy problem. You just have the honor of paying $3 for something you still cannot pick up and play for as long as you wish. If this game had a reasonable price tag to play it unlimited for $5-10, that would be reasonable, but unfortunately it just feels like a money grab. On top of that, as most of the other low star reviews address, the computers seem to be dealt better hands, and I have seen computer players pick up cards that do not help them, and discarding them for the next computer player to pick up. Overall, disappointing in the end, for a game that has so much potential.

Great, if you like losing. This would be a perfect game for people that like to lose and like to waste money doing it!! Phase 10 is my favorite card game to play with my family so, my husband and I downloaded this app to play against each other, we even paid to get ads removed but we are both so disappointed! To play each other it cost coins but you have to pay for each phase instead of paying for 1 game (10 phases) and most games where you play against friends you don’t have to pay anything! When you play against the computers in journey mode it is so blatantly rigged against you that it’s not even fun. The computers almost always have just the right combo of cards dealt to them and will “go out” before you’ve even had a single turn, which if you’ve ever played the real card game you would know that is a rare occurrence but in this app it happens in about 1/3-1/2 of the hands you play. This is even more frustrating because you have to use 5 “lives” for every hand/phase you play against the computers and if you win or purchase boosters like wild cards or skip cards then the chances of the computers winning the match before you even get a turn goes up even more so you’re money is essentially being stolen. I’m deleting the app, I’ll stick to playing the physical card game.

Rigged, money-grabbing, and frustrating.. While I enjoy the creative new phases in Journey mode and the limited time events, I have to echo what most people have been saying in recent reviews. The game-playing against computer players is RIGGED! You can’t claim “all cards are dealt randomly” and “all players are regarded equally” when the CPUs are constantly magically phasing out AND ending the round on their VERY FIRST TURN all the dang time! Or when they’re dealing US like 3 skips IN A ROW while they only skip the other players once! It takes me forever to pass levels. Don’t even get me started on the energy system. You should not lose energy if you win a round! It takes 5 energy to play one round, and the automatic regeneration maxes out at 50, giving you only 10 TRIES before you have to wait half an hour to play again. The developers should increase the max regeneration or make it where you only use energy when you lose a round (well really they should do both, but since they’re money-hungry, they would probably only do one if enough people complain). Definitely don’t spend real money on energy because of that point - such a waste. Then if you want to play with actual people, you have to spend coins every time, so it discourages you from playing with actual people often so you don’t burn through all of them.

Do yourself a favor and don’t download. So for the Journey mode, you have different levels. 1-30. After you complete lv 30 you start at lv1 again only it’s in another scene. The main issue, once you get into the second section of the game, the deal your opponents all lay down hands. You don’t even get a chance to play. You will have for an example, a run of 5 and an odd of 4. You have to get 5 cards in consecutive order (I.e 1-5) and 4 odd cards (3,5,7,9). You will get dealt four 12’s, two 4’s, one 5, two 6’s, and a 2. Yea you may have a 4,5 and a 6, but you have to get rid of all four 12’s because you can’t use them. Which means you can only get rid of them by disgracing and the game never last over 4 rounds. 90 percent of the time, the opponent makes there phase on the first round and you are lucky if they don’t go out. The amount of lay down hands that are dealt to the opponents is ridiculous. This game isn’t anything like a real game. No one gets lay down hands this much. You can’t change the difficulty so you are just stuck playing the same level over and over again. I absolutely love phase 10, I play the actual card game with my family all the time. This is nothing like that, do yourself a favor and go get a real deck of cards. It’s less stressful and it’s fun with the family. Definitely deleted and won’t be downloading again.

Great game, but sometimes a little TOO hard.. This is a very fun game to play, easy to learn and follow. The app itself is very well made, it runs flawless & smooth for me and never has issues. The one thing I do not like however is that there doesn’t seem to be a way for players to choose a challenge difficulty level setting they are comfortable with. Because this is not adjustable, it can be very difficult to progress through some of the levels especially the ‘even 10’s’ marked by the skull symbol. It can take weeks & dozens upon dozens of attempts to get through these tournaments because the automated characters in the game are often very aggressive in their tactics and will almost always choose to use the maximum capability that their hand of cards is capable of. This does make for better human players, but not everyone learns as fast as each other, so it does sometimes get old fast being stuck indefinitely and having to start the whole level over and over and over when the non-player characters are being rude and holding you back. It would be nice if at the very least the game programming incorporated a floating parameter that would reduce difficulty level settings very slightly after each failed attempt at a ‘10’s tournament’ so that people are not stuck on them indefinitely waiting for the right cards to appear and allow a victory. Just a suggestion. Either way, overall a great & well made game to pass time with. 👍🏻

Expensive. I would give this game 5-stars, however, a huge drawback is that the free lives for the journey mode doesn’t last very long and it’s very costly if you want to keep playing. I typically don’t mind paying for extras because I know they have to earn money somehow, but I spent about $25 which gave me maybe an extra hour of additional playing time (give or take). This is because in the journey mode you play against bots and it’s very one-sided. Those hands are almost always stacked against you so it’s very difficult to win and advance and that’s where the frustration is. If the cards were evenly distributed when you play against the bots it would be the best game out there, but it’s not. It’s also very expensive if you want to play in a room with your friends. The Multiplayer is fun because I love to play against actual people & there’s a better chance of winning. I’ve been able to play for hours & the frequency of getting free lives is great because you can save them up, which you can’t do for the journey mode. The concept of this game is really good & it flows nicely. I have to say, it’s one of the better games I’ve played thus far, but it’s just too darn expensive for me. If money is no object, I would say this game is for you.

Too many ads, and unnecessarily complicated. I ~never write reviews but this app is so annoying I decided to. I love phase 10 (the actual game) and it’s one of my favorite card games. The app’s interface is very nice i.e. the graphics look very clean and like a lot of development went into it (the graphics are very nice, kind of like candy crush). But there are so many complicated things in the app. There’s “energy” which you need to spend to even play one round and gets replenished with time. So if you want to play for longer periods of time you either can’t (wait for more energy) or I think you can buy more energy with gems (which you can buy with real dollars or get through random points in the game). In addition to energy and gems, there’s also coins, I think they are used for buying random things. The app has so many different parts to it, like a garden to buy flowers, a section to get pets (??) and a cafe for buying food (??) ?? There’s several places you can get surprise gifts/coins/other things but it’s very confusing and so unnecessary. Kind of reminds me of FarmVille-esque games (which I do enjoy). But why does a card game need all this? There are tons of other card games on the App Store that are fun, simple, and have ads and I think that’s how phase 10 should be.

Engage, Not Discourage. I really enjoy this game, but as many others have said in the reviews, the artificial players always get the cards they need to progress but The human do not. The cards obviously aren’t dealt randomly and you play the same round over and over again. Even when you are leading in a round and could win, the artificial players suddenly get every dealt card needed to win a hand and quickly catch up and surpass you to win the round. Meanwhile you are dealt a hand that couldn’t be random: you need 6 odd of one color and you’re dealt a hand of all even numbered cards. The only way I’ve found to make this game’s obvious stacked deck work for me is to be in the middle of my 4th or 5th attempt at a round and just stop using the app for 3-4 days. When I rejoin the round days later I’m magically dealt every card needed to complete every hand to finish the round. This is one of the few games I’ve continued to play on a regular basis for a long time and would like to continue, but the developers seem to have forgotten that the aim is to keep human players engaged, not frustrate us and drive us away to look for another game app.

LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP. I would love to give this game a 5 star rating but the facts is that it’s not a 5 star game. For one it take way too long for our energy to go all the way up to 50 if I am being exact it take 4 hours for our entertain level to be full again. Also I love the mini games we get to play but having to use 10 special cards just to get something in the mini game is very annoying. Like first of all we rarely get any special cards and if we do we never get to use them because the boys have already beat us; two the mini game uses too much of the energy; and three we never get enough of the energy for the mini games. I also don’t like how it could take me 50 tries to beat a level but only takes one try for the bot to beat it. I also hate that when I beat a tour I only get the boarder to my picture and never a change in cards like why do we have to earn them through special events it makes no sense. I think it would be better if instead of using 5 energy we could use 1 or 2 that way we can play longer without having to pay, watch ads, or wait. I love the how vibrant everything is though very eye pleasing. I also love the fact that we can play with people from around the world. Another thing I love is all the different mini games that we can play for 30 days.

Seriously could have made this app better if allowed to play with friends. Seriously!! How can you let one or both or all of the computer players automatically have all the cards they need to pass the level!! And seriously the stars! I have played the same levels several times, I win and have less points than the computer players and I only get 2 stars? You have to go through every level sometimes 3 or 4 times before you can beat the computer! It’s insanely frustrating!! Plus you have to have diamonds to buy energy and the coins are useless unless you want to play other people but even then you have rude people telling you to hurry up when your turn just started! Plus you lose more coins when you don’t win and each level the amount of coins to play is outrageous! After playing a few levels you start to see the pattern of the computer players. And seriously 5 minutes for 1 energy is freaking ridiculous!! 50 diamonds for 5 energy bolts! Also 50 bolts max?? Why can’t you make it a 100 max full capacity?? Really!! You have to either pay or wait 25 minutes so you can play one round and lose!! Why don’t you make the game better by letting people play with family and friends virtually like we would be doing at any family gatherings! If you weren’t so focused on taking money from people, maybe you would have more people playing.

The game is fixed. The game was fun at first, but the further I’ve gotten into the levels, the more I it seems the game is fixed. If you want to progress through the level, you’re required to purchase wildcards or skip cards to have even a slight chance. I can go through a hand several times and predict, without fail, when a character will lay down and then go out, while I sit with a hand of rainbow mess. Without fail, if I need an even set of something, I’m literally dealt all odd cards. In the next hand, if I need odd cards, I’m dealt all evens. Need a set under 4? Guess how many 10s, 11s and 12s I draw for the whole hand! Need cards over 9? Guess how many 1s, 2s and 3s I draw while the predicted character goes out within a couple of draws—or less. The side quests are also out of control. There can be two or three little side games going on that you cannot ignore. You are forced to go through them to get to the next hand. Sure…have some side games if you want, but let me choose if I want to participate. I paid to not have ads, so at least that works. The game would be much more fun if you made the card dealing truly random. I’ve played the game IRL and haven’t had this much trouble getting through a phase on my worst days. And make all the side quests optional. Don’t force me to learn about them.

Completely rigged.. It’s fun at first… until you realize how it works and see the patterns. Believe the other negative reviews talking about how rigged this game is in favor of the computer players - and not only are they favored, the decks are often stacked against you so strongly that there’s no way you can win in a reasonable amount of drawn cards while the computers quickly get all of the cards they need to end the phase (on occasion they’re dealt all of the right cards in difficult phases before you even have a chance to play a turn). Not only that, but the game seems to be trying to insinuate that in “multiplayer” mode they’re searching for other human players for you to play against in exchange for a gamble of various amounts of coins. Think again. These are also computer players - I had the hunch because I saw the same patterns and advantages given to the computer players in Journey mode, but it was confirmed when I had to close my screen to tend to something and I came back to realize that turning the screen off stopped the timer I had to play my turn. These supposed human players were still waiting for me to play my card 1/2 hour later when I turned my iPad screen back on and I was able to continue to play through. Why use names and avatars that look like they belong to other human players if you’re not playing human players? Deceptive.

Have to purchase boosters. I love this game, however, when you get to the higher levels it is almost impossible to win without having one or more wild/skip cards. When you're playing the Journey mode, the "computerized" players will lay down in one or two (of difficult) rounds and there is a small chance to win unless you have incredible luck (or bonus cards). Given these can be 2-5 sets, chances are you won't "luck out" that many times. Again, really like this game, but I'm finding it harder and harder to go back to unless I want to start spending money. If anything let the game not be so difficult on the second "world". If it gets really difficult in later "worlds" it would make more sense. From reading the other reviews it seems like you are losing the players that have advanced because of how much the "computer" is cheating. No one gets dealt 3 wild cards every hand in a level. There is also no way someone can CONSISTENTLY go out without ever being able to have a turn. Waste of bonus cards when you aren't even allowed to play. If I would've know this earlier I would've never spent money on this game. I guess keep getting new players who have yet to figure out that you can't advance very far without spending money…

Disappointed. As a company, you are fully aware of the expectation people have for your products and sadly this game delivers more disappointment than pleasure. I like the game of Phase10, I like how you attempted developing a game to convenience the experience with themes and creative levels…but you lose me completely with how you have designed the game levels and how much money you ask for your app adds. I’m sorry, I’m also trying to figure out how I spent money on ad-free, and was free for like a day…what exactly did I pay for because the amount of ads I get is ridiculous- I’m just slowly growing disgusted with the app. I know you see and hear from consumers. You can’t tell me that you haven’t heard about the way the computer coincidentally is winning in ways that in normal game play just does not happen-I can be up 3 rounds and on my last level and boom, here comes the cpu with a 4 round win streak (for the 3rd time) and I may have drawn/played 3 cards out of all those rounds…and I lose. I could keep going…just know-I’ve complained before, I’ve downloaded and deleted…took a break for a while…tried again…and let’s just say this is my third, and probably the last time…. Like I said…disappointing. Do better with this please-you’re spoiling my entire experience, and I’m sure I am not the only one.

Decent game but ads don’t credit powerups, energy taken when you can’t play. The game itself is okay, but I would guess that over 60% of the ads I view for powerups just stop playing mid-view and show a black screen. The frustrating part is this occurs after the game has taken your energy tickets to start a new phase, so you’re just out of luck on using those because you have to quit the game when the ad stops playing. There is even a new ad that just loops - there is no exit except for a split second flash of an exit X and then the ad restarts. Try as I might, I can’t get the ad closed fast enough in that split second, so I’m just out of luck on getting a powerup and the game has already taken my energy tickets for the phase. I could forgo clicking on the ads, but I’m also noticing an increase in the number of black cards/powerups the computer opponents have per hand - so me having to skip the ads because they don’t work doesn’t seem fair, especially during events that require those. Not sure what’s going on that they can’t get their ad functionality together or change the taking of energy tickets to not occur until the phase actually begins, but it’s certainly reducing the enjoyment of playing in general and with events.

Algorithm Is Broken. While the game is fun and a nice alternative to the real card game it has 2 major flaws. The first issue is the energy system. It takes way too long to get energy to play. You play for 10 minutes then wait for 4 hours to refill. The main issue is the algorithm for Journey mode is broken. The first ten levels are fun to play, fairly easy to win and you get plenty of wild cards. Then it starts to get a little tougher and then after about level 15 it’s no longer fun to play. I started keeping track of the glaring issues in gameplay. The computer becomes impossible to beat. Not challenging, which is fine, but impossible. Since I’ve been keeping track the ratio of wild cards between player and computer is 9.8 to 1. Yeah, the computer gets almost 10 wild cards to your 1. One game I played against 3 computer opponents they received a total of 43 wild cards and I got 4. Also the computer very frequently makes their hand on2 draws or less and I think I have twice after level 10. I wonder, of all the legitimate 5 star ratings how many of those players paid some money to the app. Maybe if you keep feeding money to the game the algorithm changes. This is just a money grab for the developer. I’d rather buy the game and play a fair algorithm and enjoy the game than keep feeding the meter. Great game but became unplayable so I’ll probably go find something else.

Fun but…….. Fun game, love the different variations to complete levels, but you run out of energy way too quickly and the AI is on an insane level. 5 volt (energy) per leg of anywhere from 3-8 legs of a round is way too much energy consumption for the game to be even remotely enjoyable on a long term basis. Especially when your going up against 3 AI characters at once. You can spend days on a level only to fail it because the AI magically gets dealt the cards needed to complete a set while you wait round after round for the card/cards you actually need. I don’t mind watching a video for energy but you only get 5 volts which lets you only play one leg of a round. Then it’s back to the waiting game for more energy. Like every other free game in the App Store it is geared to get you to spend money. I understand the model but still can’t for the life of me see how it works in a creators favor. More often than not it just turns players off to the game and we wind up just deleting it. Hopefully the developer comes up with a fix, or a more creative method to entice players to stick with their apps (other than “give me your money!!!) that start off so promising them miss the mark with the execution.

Fun well made game ruined by ads and energy. This game is really fun and a neat twist to an enjoyable card game, Phase 10. The app itself runs very smoothly and has no issues. However, there are so many pop ups that ruin the experience completely. I get prompted to play an unrelated event/game that I do not care about after EVERY round. It is also very difficult to close out these forced popups because they do not let you close out for a few seconds, and sometimes make you interact with the random game event. I only want to play Phase 10 and not a random game that has no place in this app. It also is ridiculous to spend 5 energy per PHASE, with only a max of 50 energy. This makes it impossible to play the game for more than 10 minutes at a time. Energy also restores way too slowly meaning you have to take a break for hours. It would be much more reasonable to use up energy per attempt at a level rather than for every individual phase. An offline mode or ability to play with friends without spending coins would make this app 5 stars. I would even pay a 1 time purchase to have unlimited energy, or the ability to play offline or with friends. However, I will not buy microtransactions which RUIN an otherwise well made app. The energy, ads, popups, and FORCED gameplay events ruin the app. Let me play Phase 10. I and many others would even pay money to do that.

Not enough energy. This is a fun game with no glitches. Same as every game, way too many ads. My complaints are 1) energy is not restored fast enough as you gain 1 energy bolt every 5 minutes and you need 5 to play a round. That amounts to a lonnng wait time to get enough energy to play. 2) you cannot buy energy with your coins. You can buy gems with coins and in turn use gems to buy energy but you need A LOT of gems to buy the energy which will only get you a few rounds of play. 3) the maximum energy you can achieve is 50 even if you leave the game overnight. That will get you about a half hour of playing time and then you wait for another 30 minutes to store your 5 coins to play one more hand. 4) it takes a long time to be able to open the treasure chests to get more coins, gems and energy, like every few days. Ultimately you need to be a bit more generous with your energy so we can play longer. Or make it so one hand doesn’t cost 5 energy bolts. I refuse to spend money on these games so I just have to quit after a short time and wait to restore that energy to play another hand. Just turned on my IPhone to play and walla!! The energy was full at 115 bolts!! What’s up with that?? I appreciate it but why doesn’t the same app on my iPad only have 50 max bolts. Too bad I don’t play on my phone! Will never use them in one sitting. On my iPad I am done playing in 15 minutes with only 50 bolts. Please make a few changes to enhance my playing time!!

Cheating computer!. I’ve played Phase 10 my whole life. This game is the same with a little variety. Ads are not as frequent. It’s great that you can play against computer or random people or friends. However, the computer definitely cheats. A challenge is fine and expected. It’s NOT expected that a computer gets their full set of cards from the very beginning of EVERY round. Some yes, not every round. This only happens the longer you play by the way. The developers can probably hide behind a simple sentence like “it’s supposed to be a challenge” However they cannot hide behind the proof I just saw. I’m playing against 2 computers. Computer 1 is tied with me 2 levels higher than the computer 2. 10 point difference, last hand, down to the wire! The losing computer (2) is on all cards of one color. I lay down my meld (got my set- all I need is to discard the remainder of my cards before computer 1 gets their hand down). So I just try to give Computer 2 what they need to make them go out before computer 1 as well. I lay down EVERY color for them more than once. There’s only 4 colors, not hard to keep track of. They don’t take a single color!! They keep drawing from the draw pile. Then of course, computer 1 gets their hand and goes out by discarding everything they have, and I lose by 10 points. So if in the round, the computer finally doesn’t have the hand right away, it does this instead. Enough. Deleted.

Fun for a while. Fun at first. I finished the 1st journey and then went back to finish each level with 3 stars. Could only accomplish 2 stars on the last level - oh well, I moved on to the 2nd journey. Started becoming obvious that the computer always seemed to have the correct cards right at their first move, but I continued to play. Ads are generally able to just X out of them - sometimes you’re stuck waiting the 30 seconds. Then came level 25. Unless you’re spending money it has been impossible for me. Sometimes I’d start out ahead but then one player magically always has what they need and flies through every round and wins. I’ve lost all interest in this and will never revisit it. It’s not fun when you don’t have a chance to win; the other players always seem to skip you or have a handful of wild cards while you jut need 1 more to hit the phase; you are trying to finish a run of a color and the winners are going for the same color; you are going for a set of 4 and others are going for the same number; you throw down a 12 and now you keep picking a 12; the list goes on but I think you get the idea. It’s worth a download for a while but not a keeper. The score means nothing; if you tie a phase then whoever finished it first is declared winner even if you have zero points and they have -5000 points. Enjoy it while you can. Once you hit your brick wall then move on and don’t look back.

Fun but starting to cheat. Like others have said, the computers are starting to cheat so much after the first world or the second and that will quickly irritate me, especially when I use my wilds and fancy skip cards I save up just to have a CPU clear before I even draw, or skipped 3 turns in a row and unable to do anything as they clear on me immediately when my hand had so many points. And what is with them always getting two or three wilds and doing the hardest phases with color runs so quickly while I rarely ever get a single wild on those?! But tell me how I just finished one game where I had -15 points, Kadin had -25, and the other computer was a phase behind us. Kadin cleared, but I only had 5 points to eat which means I definitely had less points than him. But apparently Kadin clearing on that last phase means he won the entire game, despite how I CLEARLY had less points and we BOTH did the last phase together! That makes no sense whatsoever! If the winner is based off having less points when multiple players hit the last phase, like every other round I had won beforehand and playing with friends, why does somebody else clearing the same phase but with MORE points in the end give them the win?! At this point, I’m quickly getting sick of playing if it’s going to cheat like this. Glad I never spent a dime on this app or I’d be even more frustrated.

Enjoyable game that is *mostly* well-assembled. It’s nicely put together, and it offers an overwhelmingly large selection of tasks that I probably won’t be able to compete even if I live to be 300 years old. The game looks nice too, has pleasant sound effects and music that can be disabled in favor of your own music, and I appreciate the side quests that they develop every month or so. I personally found it worth the investment in the ad-free version. The biggest reason I deducted a star from my rating is because the game in various spots will offer extra rewards in exchange for an ad view, but it frequently fails to credit the reward after the viewing of the ad. This is an inconsistency that’s been taking place since the installation of the app about 3 months ago, so it’s hardly an isolated incident, and it’s very frustrating when it happens, especially another ad is usually not immediately available, and unless you wait for one to become available, the opportunity will be lost. I also think the game’s energy system is a bit too player-unfriendly; there are often times where the hands will be dealt & CPU players will go out before I even get to draw a card, yet that costs energy. There really should be the opportunity for the max energy levels to increase with the progression through the game, but there doesn’t seem to be. Overall, it’s closer to 4 stars than it is to 3.

NPC Players are Definitely cheating. Technically the game itself is pretty great. My favorite game until recently, and I'm about to delete it. Once you get so far in the game, the computer wins way too easily and quickly. It's not about skill or even luck. The computer wins on their first turn, or it lets you get ahead a few levels and then the computer wins immediately every round and you have to start over, over and over again. If you win power ups or buy them, go ahead and expect to lose. I've started hands with double skips and 2-3 wilds, and still lose right away without a chance to even play. If the creators are trying to make money by getting people to buy things, it's not going to work. Why spend money to get things when the computer wins right away? It's not even fun anymore. This game used to be my go to to unwind and relax, but now it's just frustrating. I wouldn't mind getting beat by the computer even more than half the time, but you don't stand a chance anymore. It's not that each level gets harder. That would be fine if the sets you're trying to acquire are harder to get. But you can't even try because the computer wins right away. It's setup to slaughter you especially if you have wilds and skips. If you're ahead the first half, the rest of the game is not even getting a turn or only getting 1-2 turns. The creator doesn't even respond to reviews.

How to avoid frustration!. Let me start by saying that this game is addicting. I mean, you would likely play for hours on end if they allowed you to. If you read the comments, you will see that people have found the computer to be extremely challenging as you progress. The only response you will get is: We know you will appreciate the challenge. We cannot do anything about the shuffling. So, they (the designers) will not admit to unfair play. That means you have to live with it. Here is what I have done. When I get ahead and. The computer starts to cheat, I return to the map before the hand ends which will reset the level in the same position. Meaning, as soon as I see the computer about to finish a hand (you have to be ready!) I return to map! Sorry, you don’t win you cheaters! Sure, it cost me five bolts but I never lose ground on a level. I also never spend a penny to play. If I have to take a break to recharge my lives, so be it. I am no longer angry when I am teamed up on because guess what, they don’t win unless I allow them to. Lol. This has brought me so much peace. Lastly, I don’t believe for one second the online version has people. They are bots posing as a real people. Some of the pictures, names, and gameplay make it so obvious. One clown posted in here that he did better against live opponents. Sorry sir, unless you play against a friend, you are playing AI. You’re welcome!

Obvious that the cards are stacked in the developers favor. When I first started playing it I really enjoyed it. I started wondering if the people I was playing against was a computer and not real people. It became obvious when I got stuck on a level and my opponents never changed when they completed all the tasks. It also became obvious that they always had the correct cards and seemed to get them quickly. That changed after I spent $4.99 for the star pass. I thought ok money well spent but also unfair. I finished my first journey. I started the second one and low and be hold they wanted me to pay another $4.99 for a star pass! Then I got stuck at another level where I’m playing against the same avatars and they’re always winning. I’m frustrated and upset because I love playing this card game. So I was excited when I found the app but I think the developers only care about money. I get that’s what they’re in the business of but to build a game to be unfair is wrong. The game has potential especially if we were allowed to play against real people not a freaking program. As of right now I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone unless they have a large disposable income. I would also recommend that Apple and Google Play look into the app to see if the developers are cheating. Now if the developers listen to all of the negative reviews and make visible changes I’ll change my review. I won’t hold my breath though.

Computers win too quickly. Second time I’m leaving a review saying this. Technically the game itself is pretty great. My favorite game until recently, and I’m about to delete it. Once you get so far in the game, the computer wins way too easily and quickly. It’s not about skill or even luck. The computer wins on their first turn, or it lets you get ahead a few levels and then the computer wins immediately every round and you have to start over, over and over again. If you win power ups or buy them, go ahead and expect to lose. I’ve started hands with double skips and 2-3 wilds, and still lose right away without a chance to even play. If the creators are trying to make money by getting people to buy things, it’s not going to work. Why spend money to get things when the computer wins right away? It’s not even fun anymore. This game used to be my go to to unwind and relax, but now it’s just frustrating. I wouldn’t mind getting beat by the computer even more than half the time, but you don’t stand a chance anymore. It’s not that each level gets harder. That would be fine if the sets you’re trying to acquire are harder to get. But you can’t even try because the computer wins right away. It’s setup to slaughter you especially if you have wilds and skips. If you’re ahead the first half, the rest of the game is not even getting a turn or only getting 1-2 turns. The creator doesn’t even respond to reviews. Why have a game that people can’t even enjoy?

Rigged. I recently got this game and realized how addicting it is. I enjoyed playing in my downtime and it helped me unwind but now I can’t even get past a level (that includes multiple sub levels) without having to play three or four times. I understand the computers gotta win sometimes but there’s no skill or luck anymore. This is just a set up for failure because the computer wins the level directly after cards have been passed out. There’s been multiple occasions where I’ve been able to win some of the first sub levels and then immediately after the computer takes over and wins the remaining levels. This forces me to have to play the same level over with the same outcome. Which then means I have to wait to complete the level because I run out of the lightning bolts. So the level ends up taking a few days to get past. I have no issue losing to the computer but when I keep getting the same cards when I draw… it’s not fun anymore. I don’t care about losing in any other situation but this was supposed to be a fun, relaxing game that I would want to recommend to others. I don’t even want to play anymore and find myself spending less time on the app. I don’t even wait till I run out of lightning bolts to stop playing. I just think more people would enjoy it if the tasks got more difficult and the computer didn’t win every round.

Support is as ridiculous as the game. I keep trying to find out WHO goes first. It’s the first bot who immediately goes out. Next round, same guy or maybe the next bot, who goes out or blocks me. Because I’m an analyst and goofy, it became a challenge to figure it out. Not the next player, nor who has the highest losing score. It’s not who had the most cards left or the fewest. I’d say 70% of the time, it’s a bot. Watch a video for a power up and you don’t need it, or you’ll still never get what you need. Need seven one color and set of odd? You get dealt two or three of the same color and three 12s. Meanwhile, the bots have everything, including lots of power ups you don’t get. Or you need your cards and they keep dealing to you what the next guy needs to go out, so you end up discarding what you need. It’s crazy! As for support, report a bug you know is a bug and they ALWAYS tell you to clear your cache. Ahhh, first, I’m on my phone, not a PC. Second, it’s not a browser based game. And you rarely, if ever, get your stuff back. Have you read the reply’s on the reviews? Always the same. Losing is part of the game…yeah, so is winning. Sorry you didn’t get to use your stuff or you don’t get what the bot gets…If enough people complain, they might want to look into it. It’s clear it’s a Chinese company, if it was the US, we’d all be winning, or at least they’d give us a participation emoji!

2nd Review. Writing another review because my last review was never posted for some reason. Again, if I could give this game ZERO stars, I would. As you’ve seen in all the previous reviews, this game is rigged and all the computers are cheaters. If you are playing against multiple players, it seems that you hardly ever win unless you play the same level 20 times. The cards are not dealt at random no matter what the game makers say. Explain to me how the computers all have MULTIPLE wild cards in their hand?? I’m talking 2-4. Also explain how the computer draws 1 card and miraculously can lay down their hands and be out before I’ve even drawn a card? That’s not how this game even works in real time. Also, I’ve noticed as you’re playing with multiple computer players, no one runs out of cards until all the computer players have laid down their sets. I’ll complete the set and will draw all these random discard cards and we are all going in circles until the last computer gets to lay down their sets, and then those players run out of cards. You can’t win at this ridiculous game. I hate it so much. Don’t waste a DIME on this game either. They take your money over and over again just for the same stupid outcome, to never win. I’m mind blown how this app has 4.8 stars. It’s garbage. No one likes cheaters. At least make this game fair!!

Strong Start, Terrible Finish. As said by many other fans of the card game, the game is fun at first. But as you progress through the levels, it goes from fun and satisfying, to frustrating and unbearable. First issue is the energy. It takes 5 minutes for a single energy, 25 minutes for 5 energy, and over 4 hours for full energy and for what? Within 5-10 minutes, it’s all gone and it leaves you waiting another 4+ hours. Second issue is the cards dealt as you progress. The computers you play against (as it seems) tend to phase out instantly. Meanwhile, the cards in my hand are the exact opposite of what is needed. For example: If the current phase is “run of four and four of one color,” my hand would consist of pairs and multiple different colors. Then the deck of cards seem to favor the computer rather than be unbiased. Third issue is the fact that every individual game that you play with your friends and family charge you each time. Of course it can be solved by simply playing against players from around the world. But for those who want to virtually play the game instead of physically playing, this could be a huge obstacle to overcome. This is indeed a fantastic game, but these are issues that must be solved to ensure that those who don’t wish to spend money in-game enjoy it as much as those who do.

Blatantly lopsided. Edit: 3 months after my review below, I downloaded the game again. Not much has changed. However, to be fair, I grabbed 4 decks with my friends and played along in real time with the game as an experiment. We followed the stated demands as far as needing a run or certain amount of colors etc… Results were pretty easy to come by, as rudimentary as the experiment were….. no player was able to make 4 or more levels after being 4 levels down, no one was able to amount any real comeback after one person had amounted a decent lead, however, when playing against the game this is not how it played out. You will still find the bots, or computer players to suddenly have all the required cards to advancer overtake, despite all norms of randomness being expected. Not even funny how one sided the matches are against the computer.... so many times they are delt exactly what the round asks for, or close with a wild card, when you get delt absolute garbage It’s near a statistical impossibility for the same player to get “4 odd of a same color AND a run of 5” in the hand immediately delt, and have the run on cards to go out in the first hand 4 GAMES IN A ROW. Dev just stop trying to explain it away as random when it’s clearly not. Look at all your 1 and 2 star reviews and fix your algorithm to make it truly random… deleted for the SECOND time. I really want this game to work, but it’s not fun when the bots are clearly given the edge.

Yin/Yang...............Great game/Terrible game. It starts out like it’s gonna be the best game in the world and then they hit you with the reality that you’re never gonna win a game unless you’re dumping a ton of money into it. The first journey you start is pretty easy and as you get to the end of it you start to notice the computer ALWAYS finds a way to win. You will start a hand and miraculously the computer has drawn one card, it’s first card, and has completed the phase and has gone out before you can even draw a card. It gets worse in the second journey, ads popping more often, the computer blowing through the phases while you struggle to get the one card you’ve needed from the deal or the computer having 3 or 4 wild card a hand and you never seeing a single wild card. I love card games and Phase 10 is one of my favorite! But this version is ridiculous. I am now on the third journey and I have learned that when the computer starts beating you way too easily you can close down the app, kill it and go back into it and it resets it back to the start of that hand, not the beginning of the round. This has will help a little when the deck is stacked against you. I still have this game on my phone and will continue to fuss and play but be warned that if you download this game your frustration levels will go through the roof.

Totally rigged. This game is not a random dealt card game. It’s not fun when the computer is set to win a certain number of times and your own skill at keeping/discarding is pointless. The computer players are clearly given an advantage and I have experienced several times an impossible hand by the computer players. Other times i have received exactly the card I need only after being stuck on a level for several rounds. The timing of it working out for me is suspicious. There have been rounds that the computer player draws one card and can all of a sudden play multiple cards and win after nothing else has changed on the table and in the previous turns the computer couldn’t play. Several rounds will go by where the computer player is not able to play and just discards. Then all of a sudden they can play 3 or 4 cards out of their hand and win when nothing else has changed to make that possible. Knowing a card game is rigged is not fun at all. Glad I didn’t pay for this. Deleting. Oh, and the computer player pics are hideous. In response to the developer’s response, you are a liar. No way is this random. Just the fact that in each Journey game there is one computer player that goes way out ahead of the other computer players proves it. There is one who is set to win in each game. It couldn’t be more obvious. I have NEVER seen one computer player pass another computer player.

Feels as if the AI’s team up on you. I don’t know if its purposeful or due to poor planning, but I have gotten to the level 4 of the second map so I have been playing this game for a while. At first its fun, but then it gets extremely frustrating. The bots always seem to have a bunch of wilds and skips and will take turns skipping you (even if you are not in the lead or have placed cards). I would understand the team skipping if you are ahead of them or about to go out for that round, but from the start of the rounds they will steam roll you with those skips. Rarely do they use it on each other, the only times they have is when I’ve already been skipped for that round. The other thing I noticed is they seem to work together. Once I do manage to make the phase, they will discard cards that the other bot can use to go out. I know it seems ridiculous, but when you can’t go out first because the bots are literally handing the win to each other, its obviously a ploy to get you to spend money to get the skips and wilds. When a game seems like the developers built it for the bots to team up on you, in an attempt to get you frustrated and spend money; thats when its unplayable. I know developers need money to support the game, and thats the games purpose. But making people either spend money or leave because you cant win due to cheating bots; you should really work on the balance.

Fun but needs work. Like others have reviewed, the energy needed to play EACH phase of EACH level is set too high. We have to wait 5 minutes for 1 bolt of energy but we Need 5 bolts to play one phase. Computer gets all the best cards and lays them out on first hand or the computers lay skip cards on human player so many times in a row that you can’t get past a certain phase. The computer finishes all the phases in the level before human player can get out of phase 1 or 2, by then all the bolts of energy that were stored up are gone. Even after purchasing the game, they don’t give many opportunities to earn more energy, nor foot prints to dig for prizes, nor gems to pay for energy and it’s lengthy ads to get extra bonus cards to play against the computer which you lose immediately because the computer lays their whole hand down and eliminates all of their cards on the first play. It super frustrating. A little challenge is welcomed but when I play games it’s to be a way to blow off steam not get more upset or frustrated. They just want players to continue purchasing after paying for the game to not have ads. Still depend on ads. All the side games to earn energy are limiting too or a waste-you play and get nothing more than you get something. It just needs some balancing.

Amazing but 2 things... Firstly I love this game. It’s very easy to learn and understand plus it tells you exactly what you need every phase. On top of all of this it’s very fun to try to figure out what card you need and have the hope to draw the card you need, but there’s a few things that need to be adjusted to say the least. Firstly it takes way to long to wait for the volts to charge.. for example to play a single phase so 5volts is 25 minutes.. just to get the colts to play 1 phase. I get that this is enticing you to buy volts but most people don’t have the money to buy these things all the time. Secondly the computers aren’t very “fair” I’ve had multiple games where one of the computers just wins first round before I even get to place cards now I get the point is to challenge the player but I’ve spent almost 3 days on the same level and replayed each phase like 5-6 times EACH, which is just crazy. In conclusion how many volts each phase needs OR how long you have to wait for the volts needs to change to make gameplay more fun to play for longer periods of time. Also the computers need to be dumber to say the least or just be given the same sort of hand as the average player. Thank you and I hope you take these ideas into consideration for future updates.

Unfair computer opponents, need energy to continue playing. I am giving this app 2 stars because the first couple of rounds were fun but as I went further in the game I noticed a lot of flaws. The computers are not fair opponents, I find it increasingly challenging to even make it to the end of my round when the computer already has its phase complete as soon as they pick up their first card. I understand some rounds you get lucky but every single one? Then the discard pile for example has a 12 that i dont need so i dont pick up from there but when i go to the pick up pile guess what number card i get? A 12! Happens frequently so i cant say its a coincidence. The same cards usually get discarded by the computers so when you are doing 7 or 8 of the same color its hard to compete because the pick up pile doesn’t produce the card you need and the cards discarded by the computers arent what you need and you have to play the same round several times to be able to finally get a chance to win. Also because it becomes somewhat predictable what the computers will discard the game becomes tedious and not fun. I also find the fact that you need to collect a certain amount of energy to play ridiculous, especially since it takes so long to gain enough energy to play a decent amount of time. I love the card game Phase 10, really disappointed that this app doesnt live up to that.

Would give 0 stars if I could!!!. This game is NOT Phase 10!! If you are a fan of Phase 10, the card game, this is not for you. I have played the actual card game Phase 10 for probably 20 + years. The previous app from the previous licensing was better and actually attempted to have you play the game. THIS app is solely for the purpose of many you pay and pay and pay. It saddens me that the owners of Phase 10 sold their rights (soul) to have this done to the game that so many loved. I cannot fathom all the good reviews. They must either be ignorant of the actual real game and the specific 10 phases that are apart of it OR they are bought off in some way. I tried the game even in this mutilated form and it’s not good even for what it is. As others have said the computer cheats. The “levels” deal the same cards and if you don’t play how the developers want you to you won’t be able to get any stars. The problem is, that means sometimes you must do the opposite of what you would do in a real game in order to win. This is likely to make you use up “energy “ so you then have to pay to get more. Also, since this app makes up a bunch of “phases” that are not in the Phase 10 game, it is not accurate to call it Phase 10, Phase Infinity ♾ is more appropriate. The previous app was just a nice way to play the actual game Phase 10 solo against computer opponents. You could just play the whole game. It wasn’t perfect but it was better than this abomination. RIP true Phase 10 app. :-(

Pause 10. Only giving 3 stars because it’s nearby impossible to get all the stars on each world you go into. The computers you play up against is always winning. They will make you think you will win the game and then on your last round you will never get the cards you need and then the computer will block you until the computer wins a hand leaving you with -90 points and you need to be under -65 to get all 3 stars. You then use your hard working money to buy some cards to block the computer thinking this time you got the computer and again you will not get your cards that you neeed. I am about to delete this game and not play it again. I will give this game or that last star I need 2 more weeks and if I do not get it bye bye to this game. I’ve spent a whole month trying to get my last star and it’s not happening…. Edit: After reading everyone's well almost everyone’s reviews it seems there is no way of winning this game because ftom the very start of when this game came out everyone’s been having issues of how the computer always wins. People who reviewed the reviews say how sorry they are but have not fixed the issue. Well ftom today forward I will never spend another penny on this game. In fact, I may just delete this game and go play skip Bo. Good luck everyone and pause10 you lost another customer

Such a scam!. Don’t download! Basically 2/3 of the way through the first map game changes big time! To get three stars usually can’t get more than 50pts the whole level which means you can’t lose even one phase. And good luck on that. Suddenly all the npcs have like 2-3 wilds while you have no black cards, and at least one of them will get their phase if not go out within 2 turns if not go out. It’s all to get you to buy way over priced black cards. Moreover, the ads are nonstop, and the few ads with rewards for some reason the only ads that never work. Except the gold ones. Oh and there’s nothing to spend the gold on. Been doing last level of the first map for two days keep resetting because there’s no way to get three stars when by 3/6 almost all of us have too many points because of the one person going out so fast. In conclusion the game is rigged to make you spend a little early before you realize it’s rigged. Don’t fall for it. Update: It’s clear they know the issues. Spent 20min going through reviews all saying same thing I did for over a year. Not one positive written review. Which leads me to believe they just scamming their star reviews. Hope some tech savvy person goes through the coding and proves their fraud saying it’s random cards for everyone and npcs don’t help each other.

Fun at times but Rigged. To me making a card game such as this “hard” is not simply keeping the cards necessary to win from the real player. You play the computer unless you go to the arena and somehow I’m much better at beating real people than I am the computer. The straw that broke the camel’s back was something that has happened on more than one occasion. I happened to be dealt a good hand and needed a 2 to complete a set of five. Not once, not twice, but THREE times the person after me discarded a 2. If the phase calls for odd, trust that you’ll be dealt mostly evens and vice versa. I’m sure at face value I sound like a sore loser but once it happens more than half a dozen times in a row, you start to see a patter. There are skips to be played, let the initial hand not work in the players’ favor, whatever, but it’s hard not to feel like the game is rigged when you play against the computer and constantly lose. It’s Phase10 not chess there’s no strategy so if you lose over and over and over (I’m talking you’re on phase 1 of 5 and everyone else is on phase 3 or more) to a computer but win a decent (read: normal) amount of times with real people that doesn’t mean the people you’re playing with are dumb or luck just happens to be on your side. It means the computer you’re playing against, that deals your cards and controls the deck, has the upper hand. It’s a money ploy to get people to buy gems and wilds and etc. and I’m over it.

Lightning volts. I love this game and it’s very fun to play. I’ve never had any issues out the game nor any crashes. It’s easy to navigate through. There is one thing specifically that I don’t like about the game and that’s having the play 5 volts per phase in each level. I think that’s way to high especially for users that will play for hours upon hours. You have to wait 5 minutes just for 1 lightning volt. I believe it should be at minimum 2 volts. Some levels have 8 or more phases and some will have to be repeated two or three times. I’ve been stuck on a level for almost 2 days because I kept having to repeat it and would run out of volts to play. I understand they want us to buy more and all but I shouldn’t have to buy them everyday. This is something we do for fun’s me in our free time not a day job. Even with the volts at 2 per phase each level if we didn’t want to wait for the volts to recharge we would still have to buy more so there would still be money being made from us. It would be. I also think waiting 5 minutes for 1 volt is ridiculous. If it’s going to be 5 minutes at least let it be for 5 volts so we can at least play one phase to keep the game alive rather we have to repeat the phase or not, it would keep us playing even longer than what we do. This obviously is just my person opinion but I’ve talked with plenty of other players that agree with these issues but we’re not the developers of the game nor anyone who can make decisions on the game play.

Does it look rigged to you??. Alright. I’ve read a lot of the reviews that said this game was rigged. And I agree! After reading a lot of them, I went back to the game, and started the next round, as I was waiting for my energy to fill back up. The game started. 2 rounds later, Sabin completed his phase. THREE cards left. Ok, no big deal. One round later, I completed MY phase. Yay! Was able to place a few cards, and had ONE left. Oh look! Teresa skipped me. Shucks. Well, that’s understandable, I’m close to winning. Sabin’s turn. End of round. (My skipped turn, I can play next round), Teresa’s turn. Sabin’s turn. Um… Sabin skips me again. Teresa’s turn, she discards. Sabin’s turn. Oh, he won.. Out of the whole game, I got 2 turns. So, developers, how is it that random and fair? I understand you saying that, but can you not see how it looks to the players? To us it doesn’t look random and fair at all when we get 2 plays per phase, and the AI gets 4-5 plays, and then wins. If you’re saying it’s random, can you make it MORE random? That way it looks less like you’re trying to infuriate and frustrate your players. Also. Fix the energy system. It’s just as unfair. It should be 5 energy per numbered journey. Not 5 energy per phase. It’s unbalanced. If that was the ONLY thing you fixed, the game would be 1,000,000 times better.

Star rating is fake!. I don’t see how this has over a 4 star rating! I have never read a good review of this game! The reviews are correct this game cheats! You play for a bit and it’s fun then it is impossible to win. The computer has laid down and gone out without me being able to play three times in a row and then when it is my turn to go first I obviously can not go out on the first turn and then the computer will go out on its turn. This is a reoccurring cycle. I will then buy the star pass and I have a chance at winning (a chance doesn’t mean I will actually win just seems more fair) for a few levels and then back to the same cycle. Everyone understands the developers want to make money but there is a freaking limit! I keep coming back to this game every few weeks or when there is an update but after over a year and countless updates there is still NO CHANGE! The developers obviously read these reviews and say the same thing over and over again “the computer is fair the cards are random”! Ha ha ha! Yeah right! Just like when you play poker with your uncle and he will lay down 3 kings and you have 2 in your hand! And he swears he doesn’t cheat! It is obvious that the developers don’t care about the user! Thanks for ruining one of my favorite card games and replacing nice fun childhood memories of the game with anger and frustration!

Willing to Update My Review upon Improvement. I have to agree with the “Has Potential” reviewer. While this app does have good things going for it - the creative new phases, the limited time journeys, the coin arena - it also needs some work on the coding side. I can’t imagine the difficulty of coding something to this level but in the end you are coding for UE and it’s not hittin like it should. As players we KNOW when the deck is stacked against us and it is extremely frustrating. I’ve found that usually when I’m dealt cards I have the opposite of whatever the phase is - if I need runs, I have sets and vice versa. Also there does seem to be a timing to how good or bad I’m doing like streaks of bad luck or good luck. During the bad luck streaks - there’s nothing I can do to win. Now this doesn’t always happen and sometimes I’m getting the miraculous hands with 3 wilds. But more often than not - I don’t get skips or wilds and the computer gets multiples of them and seems to easily hit the hardest phases ( like a set of 2 and a set of five). I will continue playing and look forward to updates that address the issues the reviewers have indicated( I don’t have time to get into pay-for-play and the energy debacle) I started playing about a month ago and it seems like some complaints in 2020 reviews have already been addressed.

Hmmm ... heavy bias towards Ai players. I really love this card game in real life. Big fan. So you could imagine my excitement when I discovered there was an mobile version. I found the graphics, layout and game animation really straight forward and well designed. I’m just a bit disappointed with how quickly the Ai players get the cards they need. I don’t mind a bit of a challenge but it seems a little one sided. I am finding if you don’t have your phase solution in 2-3 turns, you pretty much lose against the Ai. I am also a bit peeved at how many wild cards the Ai players use in their completed solutions when they seem few and far between for me. Also how many skip cards they get. One Ai player skipped me 5 times in a row and then won without me putting a card down. Really?! Feels a bit biased, which is disappointing and leaves me unmotivated to play this game. Mattel, if you want to keep people playing, take a leaf out of Best Fiends or Candy Crushes booklet. You gotta let the player feel like they are winning. Or they have a chance. You can’t just keep beating them every time. Poor game mechanic.

Great game, bad winning mechanic. Love this game in principle really enjoy playing the card game with friends. But the whole winning mechanic is so screwed up. The fact that if two players both achieve the goal of the final phase but whoever clears their hand first instantly wins even if the other person has a better score is seriously ridiculous. Like there’s no point in having the points system AND this is NOT the actual rules either. Would think that an official card game app would at least get the rules right …

Great game, long waits. I wanted to give a much lower rating, but I couldn’t. This is such a great game, and there is nothing wrong with the game itself. But that fact that every stage and every inner stage costs 5 energy every time is ridiculous. It is also ridiculous that I am using my energy every time I play and the computer player gets the advantage. Should definitely consider adding a feature that allows you to watch ads for energy (I know you get one a day but when you get knocked out in literally two seconds it’s not much use).

I love phase 10, but this is rubbish... deserves 0 stars. So rigged it’s not funny.. every hand the cpu completes their phase on the first turn. The energy issue is terrible.. 5 energy per phase played.. so I get to play a couple hands before I have to wait hours to play again.. and what’s worse, you can play a 6 phase game, spend 40-50 energy in the process only to get to the last phase and the only other player (cpu) phases out completely before you even get to draw meaning you’ve just lost all that energy and gotten nowhere. Or more fun, replaying said match, and being 4 phases down before you even get a single turn... twice in a row...

Addictive but aimed to spend. This is a good game. However the slow rate to get coins 100 coins and 80 to play at least give enough coins to play few games. then to top off if you’re playing your friends you still use your coins and no one gets them. I think playing against friends should be free. The levels with the AI is stupid always skipped and their hands go down straight away on first turn needs to be fixed. My biggest issue is make it playing with friends free otherwise I will delete along side with my friends as this stupid fair enough pay coins for online randoms but not friends closed game. At all the rate of coins and energy I’m lucky to play 20 mins tops a day that’s not a good play rate. You need to allow more play time to make it more addictive to catch the spending where as now to me not worth my real money your just force spending not good.

Coins. What’s the purpose of having such a reward when you can’t use it to get anything. You use gems to buy coins AND energy. Energy is needed to play the game but coins just sit there looking pretty. Am I missing something? I don’t think so. The coins are absolutely useless, don’t know why developers added this when they serve no real function.

Great game. Highly addictive game that is elevated from its physical counterpart. I find the low amount of energy given versus how much energy it takes to do each PART of a single level to be quite frustrating. The computerised players are certainly a challenge, although it does feel sometimes like they are “cheating” in a sense as they seem to be able to pass a level and then go out 9/10. I wish there was an aspect to the game where you could just play all the phases as intended with a bit that doesn’t reward or require energy. Sometimes I really just want to play but am limited to 10 tries at any one point in time and I flat out REFUSE to spend real money on fake money.

NOT HAPPY!! STOLEN $43!!!. I used to play this game every day. I was obsessed! I used to purchase small amounts of bundles with AUD. Until!!!! One day I decided to get a $2.99 bundle. As I purchased I got a PayPal notification of the $2.99. At the exact same time I got a PayPal notification for a $43 payment come out. Same company. Same time. Which isn’t showing in my App Store account purchase history. I tried to dispute with PayPal and it got denied. So now they have stolen $43 off me. I have tried to contact the company which has been unsuccessful every time. Which clearly shows they are ensuring they can’t be contacted so they can take extra money out. I now refuse to play the game. Makes me worried if they have taken others I haven’t realised.

Deleted the game....so bias. Ended up deleting the game for the same reasons already mentioned in numerous comments. AI has all the advantage, they manage to draw all the skips and wild cards and miraculously finish the round in the first go before you even get a turn. Ive been skipped 4x in a row by the same AI player. Love the developers responses tho...it’s not rigged all players are dealt cards randomly like in the real game. LOL well Ive played the real game plenty of times and never once have I’ve been skipped so many times by ONE player that I never get to have a turn before someone goes out. Suggestion to the developer, if so many people playing your game are saying the same thing, then there is something wrong, so look into it and fix it

Rigged Game. I’ve been playing this game for a few months now. It is highly addictive. The unfortunate thing about this game though is that it’s highly rigged. There have been times where I haven’t even been able to play one card cause the opponents have already won. There has been times where I have been skipped 5 times in a row without even touching any of my cards. It’s getting so annoying and the fact that I have to spend 5 enegry points and it takes 5 minutes to just get 1 energy point back is ridiculous. Although this game is highly addictive and it can be fun at times, I’ll most likely be deleting the app soon cause of how rigged it is.

What Happened?. Phase 10 used to be a lot of fun, but this attempt to turn it into a quick cash grab is downright ridiculous. The obvious ones are the 3 types of in-game currency: ‘Energy’, gems, and coins. Energy in a game is an especially cheap and insulting concept and an automatic bad rating from me. To make matters worse they then go ahead and double and triple dip by taking energy over and over again during the same level. I haven’t experienced any of the alleged card stacking, but that’s probably because I haven’t been able to play more than 10 minutes before running out of energy. I would then have to reinstall it; who could be bothered. Nice try. Also ads for this game are deceptive, misleading and illegal

Overload on Skip cards. Since my last review, game has not improved! The same problems. Those skip cards keep coming every single game more and more! It’s not much of a playable game anymore, rather an annoying game, to watch the Computer players play between themselves while you are constantly skipped and not getting cards you need either. And then game over! No point in wasting more of my time. It is getting quite unrealistic and boring to see the huge amount of skip cards your Computer Players get. Getting skipped in every single game quite often up to 4 times! The game is over before I even get a chance to play! In contrary I get hardly any skip cards! Make the game more fair to keep it interesting!

Such a pain. The game is addictive and fun, however it runs it to what we are see with every game now days, that is you require “energy” to play. Now it’s not 1 or 2 energy per level it’s 5 energy per hand and some stages can be 3 hands of play. Meaning to finish one stage you need 15 energy. Now the this energy comes back at 1 point every 5 minutes, meaning that to gather enough for 1 hand you must wait 25 minutes, all just to get screwed over by the AI players going down and out before you even get a go some times. This is very much a money grab for trying to get you to buy gems, 200 for $3... not much but that only gets you 4 hands of play.... and with the addiction of playing it you can lose a lot of money.

Great game but.... Started off really well but now I’m stuck on level 16 even after using the bonus cards I had. It is a great game (and addictive) but it seems as though the game is fixed so players fork out money to get to the next level. I don’t mind paying here and there but if I’m already stuck at level 16 I’m guessing it will be like this for most levels. Not worth it at this stage. If the game is too difficult to pass a level I tend to lose interest...I don’t think I am the only one who feels this way. Update: Just downgraded the star rating from 4-1 star. Over 200 stars used to try and get 9 colour cards. So I gave in and purchased wild cards. What I don’t understand is that it took one round for an auto player to get 9 colours but not for me!!! This game is RIGGED! I do not believe the developers saying it’s random!!!

Love but needs improvement.. Love playing phase 10 however why so many ads?!? This is by far the most ads in a game I’ve played. So annoying! Also there needs to be a way to earn energy quickly. It takes ages to get energy. I think it would be good to be able to change the level setting on the ‘computer’ people. But they do always seem to skip you all the time and then get the right about of cards in minimal turns.

Great game. Makes you look outside the box. Costs nothing to play. Just lately the game insists on Facebook participation if you want to use the bonuses that you pay for. Once my $7.99 purchase is complete I will delete Facebook off the game and carry on as normal. I don’t like my information being shared. Other than that I love the game.

Disappointed in ai players. I used to play this game all the time and was looking forward to playing it again. The graphics and look of the game are fun. However, the bias towards the ai players makes this game disappointing. No one wants to easily win but in this game, the ai players get all the wild cards and blocks, in fact in the ‘hard’ games, they will have all wild and blocks with a few number cards where you have all numbers and no wild cards or blocks and have zero chance of winning. Just another way of trying to get ppl to spend money and buy lives or wild cards. Sadly, it’s made the game completely unenjoyable.

Unfair AI advantages. This game is absolutely rigged: - The AI players pick up cards that then just vanish from their hands never to be seen again. When I first noticed it, I started actually writing down the picked up and put down cards in case I was wrong, and the cards do just disappear. - I frequently play entire rounds without a wild card, while each AI player gets 1-4 per phase. - I might finish a phase first hand maybe once a month. The AI players seem to have it happen at least twice a day, usually more often. I stopped playing multiplayer as it appeared that I was just playing against AI there too. There was never any delay for the other players making their moves, they all moved just as quickly as the AI. I also still don’t understand the point of the Barbie special. Despite playing regularly all month (eg, I finished the Monster High games), I never received any benefit, nor did I work out what I was playing for - and I’ve seen the Barbie rounds twice now. If it’s pointless just leave it out. I want to love this game, but I just can’t.

ZERO STAR RATING - RIGGED. This game is dominated by AI’s. Do not waste your time on this game. Full of AI’s, makes winning difficult which is fine but when a BOT wins and you haven’t even drawn a card is just a joke. Waste of lightning bolts. AI’s will also keep hitting you with skip cards, I was hit 5 times in 1 set, hadn’t even drawn a card - RIGGED. I also find it funny that the AI’s will draw 3 star cards and a skip card in their first draw, I’m lucky if I get a 2 skip/star cards per game - RIGGED. You can play the same level for weeks which is boring. DON’T BOTHER WITH THIS GAME Next Day YOU CAN’T TELL ME THIS ISN’T AI RIGGED. I HAVE JUST PLAYED 4 SETS ON LEVEL 14 AND THE AI MANAGED TO GET 6+ SKIP CARDS IN 2 SETS AND PROBABLY 7+ STAR CARDS TO GO FROM 2 SETS BEHIND TO 1 SET AHEAD OF ME. I DIDN’T EVEN GET CLOSE TO FINISHING 2 SETS. RIGGED I SAY. AGAIN I HAVE PLAYED LEVEL 14 SO MANY TIMES TODAY AND HAVE LOST GOD KNOWS HOW MANY SETS/GAMES. SO SICK AND TIRED PLAYING THE SAME LEVEL AND HAVING THE AI GET MIRACULOUSLY ALMOST 9 CARDS ABOVE 9 WHILST I GET 1 CARD ABOVE 9 AND NO MATTER HOW MANY CARDS I DRAW (almost 50) AND SURPRISE SURPRISE NO CARD OVER 9 BUT THE AI GETS PAST THE LEVEL AND IS ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL THEN THE NEXT AND MY LOSING SCORE IS WELL UP THERE. FIX YOUR RIGGED AI PROBLEMS AND MAKE IT FAIR FOR ALL OR I WILL BE DELETING THIS GAME.

Fun card game, quite addictive. Once you get past the first basic 15 or so levels, it’s actually quite good, considering your playing a computer. At first hated the fact that you needed so much energy per hand and it didn’t restore fast enough, but now I’m realising it’s a good thing. Otherwise I’d just find myself playing all day 😂 The monthly special card feature (collecting fish or flowers) is kind of odd though. It’s unnecessary, maybe make it like an expert card game instead where you can earn energy if you want. Overall it’s a pretty good game though👍🏽

My favourite game, But…. I paid $30 for a package of gems. I had 1700 gems, I tapped to exchange 300 gems for 50 energy twice and both times it took the gems and didn’t give me the energy so I’ve just spent money on your game for nothing. I spend a lot of money on this game and this is disappointing can you recharge 600 gems to my account please? Other than that it is a brilliant game, just like the real card game but with many more phases. The events are fun too!

Great game but has a huge downfall. I love the concept of this game, it’s unreal and addictive. The one think I really hate and it will be the one thing that will stop me from playing, is that you don’t just use one lot of 5 energy to start a game, every set you have within the levels (some have up to 6 sets) you have to use 5 energy per set for one level.. that whole aspect makes me hate the game every time I get to a level with many sets. Massive down fall in my opinion. Would play this for hours and probably spend money, but I’d say I’ll get sick of the energy thing within a few days and delete the app. Otherwise awesome concept

Heavy biased towards AI. Fun to play initially but impossible to progress after about round 15 or in multiplayer. 9 times out of ten you lose before you even get a chance to pick up a card because AI opponents win on their first go using multiple wild cards or you get skipped 4 times in a row and the game is over before you start. Initially enjoyed playing but now I don’t even want to come back because there’s no hope winning. And I refuse to pay money for games that force you to pay if you want to progress.

The game is good, but the AI is unfair. I’m enjoying the game, but I do have one complain that I’m sure many other players have voiced. The AI players in the single player side of the game is unfair, and the game usually favours them to win, which is not ideal considering that you have to collect stars in order to pass through the next level. I hope the developers listens to us and fixes the AI (or adds an difficulty setting), otherwise, I think most of us won’t be getting past the levels we have to reset every time any time soon.

Unfair. I was really enjoying playing this game until I got to a level where I was versing the ai players. I have tried to beat this level hundreds of times and I just can’t beat it , i will win one or two rounds but their are 6 rounds or phases as they call it to the level and once getting to phase 4 you don’t even get a chance to play your cards because their first hand wins. The power ups are too expensive and you have to wait so long to get enough lives back to try again to just waste them, makes me not want to play anymore.

FIX THESE!!. The games great fun! But the amount of adds are beyond me. I constantly have to get out of the game to get back in the game so I can play faster. Getting out the app is way faster than watching the ads through. The worst bit is the energy! You use 5 energy to play one game. Meaning if you have 20 you can only play four games! It should be lower so you can play more. Not only that but there is no way to get energy back faster other than to wait half of the day just to get it back and enjoy it. You need to fix this part because this is the biggest disappointment of the game.

Stacked Deck. This has been mentioned several times by various reviewers. This game is heavily weighted in the favour of the AI. Phase 10 isn’t a complicated game and I have played it many times before so please don’t tell me practice makes perfect because you guys stacked the deck in order to get people spending money on on app purchases. I won’t be spending money at all and will only play with my free energy. Stop stacking the deck in favour of the AI’s and I might consider a higher rating for this game. Also why do I have to pay energy for each phase within a level on journey mode. It’s annoying and making me consider getting rid of the app because I can’t play freely with in a level.

Bad Mechanics. Look, the concept is awesome, but the mechanics of the game make it unplayable sometimes. You waste precious ultimate wilds and ultimate skips on a stage of a level, and then have someone phase out in their first turn and not even get to play. I constantly get stages that I never get to touch a card because I’m skipped or someone phases out before I even have a chance. And it costs 5 energy for every stage of a level, instead of every level, so it takes forever to progress especially when the ai are clearly rigged to make it challenging. I swear, I have never actually seen that many skips come up in a round of phase 10 in real life. It’s like skip central up in here.

Fun but it gets challenging and frustrating. It started out really fun. I enjoyed the game play and challenges. I didn’t mind that I lost a few times and had to wait to play again. But then it just got worst. I’m frustrated and annoyed at the game. I don’t leave reviews but I thought this game has real potential if it had a few changes. The opponents are winning a lot. I don’t get a chance to catch up. I don’t get any boost or help to catch up two phases. Constantly losing a level again and again, especially when it has four or more phases is disheartening. I’m not going to spend money to buy boosters as it’s quite expensive. The amount shown is the not the amount charged and it costs a lot to get a good amount. It says $2.99 and I got charged $4.40. I’m up to level 30 and I’m over it. I play for stress relief and to have a little fun. The game is adding to my daily frustration.

Still have adds even though I paid not to have.. Love the game hate all the adds. I have never played a game that is so painfully full of bad adds. I paid to have them removed. But they are still there. I have requested a refund but have heard nothing. Reporting to ombudsman and apple and Mattel. They have recently changed the changes. They used to be fairly good but hard to get, now you have to use your own flashes to play, where before you could play the game and it gave it to you as a reward. Not happy about this, this makes no sense and unless you get 3stars you don’t get the reward. The app appears to be getting Tighter and tighter and less rewards. This is joy how you keep your customers happy!

Money hungry developers. I love the physical card game so I thought I’d give this a try. Immediately I’m met with “energy” and “gems”. For $3 you get 200gems which is only 60 energy. Every round is 5 energy. Level 15 has 6 rounds so you’d basically spend $3 to play ONE level. The developers can say all they want that the bots are “equal” but they target you nonstop with skips and go off on rounds in one turn so your 60 energy is gone before you can even beat the level. They also added in a bunch of random phases that aren’t even in the physical game. I thought this would be just like the card game where you’d match with people around the world and play the actual game but it’s just another money grind game.

So many glitches. Great concept but too many glitches. Stars are hard to earn in some stages made even worse by glitches for example even if you meet standard winning criteria; finishing final phase with phase completion and lowest points - if you are not the person to get your entire hand out first you don’t always earn all the stars (including when you meet all star criteria). Computer players often seem to have an advantage in which they often skip you 3-4 times in a row if you are in front, or win multiple phases in a row without you getting a turn. You can use gems to buy coins but there doesn’t seem to be a purpose to this, gems are required for everything except multiplayer play. However, coins cannot be used to purchase gems. There’s a spot in the game to change frames/skip animations but no frames/animations to change to. You can watch a video immediately prior to a phase (sometimes) to get randomly a multiskip or wild but have no option of whether to use then or save for later (this would work better if it was in the shop and you could watch a certain amount of videos for these per hour). The in-game support redirects to the Facebook page and the messenger on there just lets you play the game. If you put a skip on the discard pile it just discards the card (even in 2-player) instead of skipping anyone. Double tapping the cards accidentally can result in the card being discarded and I cannot find an option to change this.

Love this game but it’s rigged.. I really love playing this game BUT...it’s rigged in the favour of the bots. I’ve sent them a couple of msgs about this expressing my annoyance and got in response that it’s all random and not rigged. I didn’t get a reply for ages and when they did eventually get back to me they did say maybe it’s too hard...devs it is. The luck they have is incredible and can’t be random. I like a challenge but I end up wanting to throw my phone in frustration. I get it’s also called that but come on!! Again and again and again. It’s just crazy and it is too hard. I go away for a couple of days hoping it will be better, it never is. Especially in the different series they have. They just had Monster High and I never got past the first few levels. I never got enough stars for a chest. Not one. Please make this more user friendly. I can’t afford to buy wild and skip cards or diamonds. I have spent money in the past but I can’t now. Please make it fun to play developers. Otherwise I’ll stick with another game.

Good Game. Highly addictive. Fave game on the phone and in person. Yes, it gets challenging sometimes but it’s all about persistence. Only thing I want changed is being able to invite/add fb friends through the app. The app allows you to play using your fb profile yet when you go to the Social tab and click on Friends, it tells you to invite friends but no actual option to add/invite them. I’m aware you can do it on the fb version but I don’t play the game on fb. UPDATE 26/12: I know at least 2 of my fb friends that play the game and have connected to their fb profile on the app but they don’t show up on my friends list and I don’t show up on theirs. Even after updating the game...

Online option for everyone. I really really love this game and the online usage of challenges and purchasing more lives etc, but it’s now annoying that u can only play if u have Facebook. Not everyone does and I used to but due to not wanting it anymore i now can’t enjoy the features of this game. Maybe online should be for any one who maybe signs in with an email, or maybe Instagram accounts or game centre accounts as well as Facebook.

Rigged. I enjoy playing this game but it is highly rigged to favour the bots. They win game after game, get all of the special cards and win each hand in the first or second round. Highly discouraging when you please each level over and over with the same outcome - the boys easily winning before you even get a chance to put any cards down or they get hands full of special cards over and over and you get none. I just played one level 8 times and did not get one special card and the bot got multiple each hand. I’ve now given up on this game

Awful!. Unless you buy into this (which I will 100% not!) you have no hope of getting past levels without power ups... played one game with coins and lost as every time I did a good hand someone put a block on my next turn... I didn’t even play/ just exited out in the end! I get that some will buy in, and this should make you developers happy but it’s not for me! No fun if it’s unachievable - it’s not a free app if it’s not free to get an honest experience By the way - I’m talking level 15 not level 280 so when you can’t even get beyond such an early level it makes it kinda redundant ... see ya later when you develop a game like this that’s actually fun ...

Card draws so obviously not random. I gave this game a try and played up to level 24. The game itself is great but what frustrates me, and ultimately caused me to delete, is that the card draws are nowhere close to appearing random. Repeatedly your opponent will be able to lay out 8 card of same colour or a large set etc. If you were playing a human yes, this could happen on occasion but the fact it happens consistently makes me feel stupid for attempting to play against an Algorithm designed to favour my opponent unless I pay to win. Disappointing!

Rigged. I love phase 10 in real life but when I have the spend all my energy multiple times and not even get past one level, it becomes a hassle. I don’t know why the developer responses are just saying that the cards us and ai receive are completely randomised when it’s 100% biased towards ai’s seeing as I have to play the same level at least 20 times before I can complete it. Unless the developers make some big changes and those changes should be very clear given the similarity of the problems in these reviews then this game will end up like many others I used to play and be deleted after a couple months of having it because it’s just not fun at this point. I’ve also had the same problems as others like my phone being on silent and third party ads still having sound. And it would be way more enjoyable if the energy took only a minute or 2 to rejuvenate that way it might only take hours to get past a level instead of days.

Can’t play with friends???. I have always loved phase 10 and have played it many times irl, but it’s not like I’m gonna bring a card game to school, so I wanted to use this app to play with them because it said I could do that. Turns out, it costs coins to play with your friends??? And it’s no cheap cost either. You need to pay 120 coins to play one game with your friends, and when you run out of coins, you just have to wait! You get 100 coins every roughly 6-8 hours, which doesn’t even cover the cost of one game!!! That is the dumbest thing ever, why can’t you just make it so it’s free and gives no rewards or anything and you can just play the game with your friends!!! This feature is the dumbest and most annoying thing ever, so PLEASE MAKE IT FREE, DEVELOPERS!!! They only do this so you buy gems with real money to get coins, and I hate it!!!

Phase 10. I love playing phase 10 but I am very unhappy with this app itself. It is so desperate for you to spend money, that you are aren’t even allowed to play unless you have power ups, which you get only 1 every 5 minutes and you need at least 5 to play one round in a game. It’s ridiculous! Not only that but you are facing again a computer which will keep you on the same level unless you buy power ups etc. Never have played a game so desperate for money!!!

Rigged.. I was enjoying this game until I got to level 15. I have now been trying to win this level for three days. It seems just when I have some hope the AI bots suddenly get all the cards they need and dash my hopes yet again. So I can’t recommend this game unless you want to be continually frustrated. Update: I am now on Level 38 and haven’t spent anything. If I can see that I am going to lose a level, I just reset it and play until I win. It doesn’t cost me anything. But it’s so biased towards the Ai players. Update May 1st: Do the developers really think that people are going to spend money on this game? Why would you when it is so rigged towards the bots?

Addictive but biased. I am always down for a challenging game but when it’s rigged it’s not enjoyable. I can be skipped every turn and the AIs will win, especially in the earlier levels (level 15 to be specific). If the levels got slowly harder not 0-100 in 2 levels it would be more enjoyable. The way the game has been designed is highly enjoyable and well thought out to catch consumer’s attention. They have used lots of very strong advertising techniques but unfortunately they only show people winning which creates a false sense of hope for players because once they start to lose they get mad. I have punched my phone in anger because I have lost a level and I know that I have to wait almost half an hour to play said level again. It would be a highly enjoyable game if there were a few modifications to how it’s designed. Specifically how long it takes to recharge energy, the difficulty of the levels and how the wild cards are distributed amongst the AI players and the human player.

Don’t wait your money paying to remove ads!!. Game is highly addictive and I do enjoy playing however the number of ads that pop up is beyond ridiculous. I paid money to remove them out of frustration however I still have to suffer through them after every game. NOT HAPPY!! The game does seem a little rigged at times as the AI’s do tend to get the exact cards they need within 1-3 goes and constantly skip you. Would enjoy the game more if it didn’t cost you so much energy. There is no way to earn energy back any quicker so your left frustrated waiting for energy to slowly come back to play again only to lose again and again. Can you please also fix the volume for the ads as my phone is on silent and the game volume is off however when ads begin they start to play with sound before suddenly realising and going silent. Doesn’t help when your trying to sneak in a game without kids knowing or when sleeping babies are in the room.

Love it but its so biased. It’s a great game, great graphics and overall design except for one aspect, the Ai, the game is SO biased towards the Ai players that it’s ridiculous and unbelievably frustrating, I’m on level 14 and it just won’t let me win, and if it (very rarely) does it won’t give me 3 stars for the level, you guys need to improve this, losing the level the first 3-4 times is fine, losing it 10+ times in a row or having to reset the level cos the Ai player is 2 whole phases ahead and trying is just waste of time and in game energy, really isn’t okay, at this point I’m so tempted to just delete the game because of it

Love the game. This is a great game that I could spend hours on Except that it takes so many energy bolts to play each round, it takes over 20 minutes to build up enough tokens to play a round, and with up to 5 levels in a round, it can be very frustrating. I also think the live games are weirdly set up. It always uses 8-9 of your 10 cards, so if you aren’t first on the table, it becomes very unlikely that you will win.

Frustrating to say the least. Omg u VERY RARELY win….I love playing the real phase 10 card game but this one doesn’t give u any chance to advance…it’s not fun losing all the time and once ur power has gone it takes forever to regenerate….very few gifts or incentives…the amount of wild and skip cards dealt out to the computer opponents are a joke especially when I only get one in a blue moon … this is a VERY computer biased game out of 10 games u are lucky to win one!! This is no a very fair game computer wins nine times out of 10 the A1’s get dealt all the cards they need every hand whilst the really players get dealt useless rubbish …..it’s so obviously rigged….Am done ….delete delete delete…..

Meh.. I enjoy the game but it is so overly rigged and until they want you to pass a stage you can’t. You will either be continuously skipped or the AI will start with every card they need. If you don’t complete a game, it will still play out the same win or lose each time. Same if they give you the cards you need, AI will just keep drawing until you play yours. The game has become less and less enjoyable as the game progresses with the more apparent set up for player losses and time it takes for energy to refill.

Fun, but gets hard quickly. Well-made and enjoyable game, but the price of everything drags this down for me. Very quickly gets very difficult without spending money, but that money will get you virtually nothing. 500 gems for 7.99 sounds okay until you realise that a pack of 5 wild cards will cost you 240, and you can easily use that in one round - especially if you forget to unequip them - which the game does for you, in one of the dodgiest design decisions ever. I paid to remove ads, but I’d be more inclined to spend more if it went a little further.

Addictive but slow. I have had fun playing this but the slow rate for picking up energy is ridiculous. It shows that they are really pushing for you to spend money on the game but the energy dissipates way too fast and doesn’t replenish fast enough. They give you events but they too have short time spans to achieve them in which makes it a loose loose situation every time. There is also too many bots on the coin “worldwide” part of the game and I’d love for there to be a way to play the full phase 10 game experience with players in the rest of the world not just 2 rounds…

Fun but not enough energy. This game is a lot of fun but 5 energy per round is ridiculous !!

Was fun once. The game is designed for in app purchases. How fair is it that the computer characters you play against always win before you get to play a card. I decided to download this game after a year of not playing it, now I remember why I deleted it.

Rigged. The game is rigged when playing against the computers. It takes all your energy but doesn’t even give you a chance to play. Wouldn’t recommend unless you want to be frustrated or they fix the game.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This game is garbage. I did read the reviews before hand but I didn’t think it would actually be this bad. You honestly never win sometimes you don’t even get to pick up or play a card. Having to spend five energy points per game is absolutely ridiculous when there’s sometimes five levels within a game and each one of them you have to pay five energy points.

RIGGED!!!. Don’t waste your time on this “free” game. It’s designed to have the bots win!! The developers expect you to pay for Energy, Wilds and Skip cards in order to do any kind of winning. Absolutely shameful and petty.

Ridiculous Algorithms. The section where we play with computer players are such a waste of time. Their algorithms were written in such a way that the computer wins thrice than the actual user. The algorithms after certain level were written in a ridiculous way that the player won’t get a chance to play continuously for 3 games and computer finishes it. End of the day the power goes down and you wait. Not recommended for a real phase 10 player.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Honestly the game was fun at first but then the bots started to always win. The algorithm for the cards being dealt is no random because how is it possible that every single time the bots win. This game is so unrealistic from playing the real game with friends due to the fact that the bots can play their full set in the first turn. I do think this game need adjustments and from reading these reviews it counts to me as if the creators of this game do not care about its users opinions. So I recommend another game to take of your spare time cuz this game is definitely not it.

Needs more energy. 5 bars of energy for one round that is sometimes over in seconds is ridiculous. It also only gives a max full of 50 which is often gone before you are even able to finish one level. If the energy levels could be increased or you didn’t so many per round it would be a much better game. It takes 5 minutes to replenish 1 bar of energy - so 25 minutes to be able to play one more very quick round. I also paid $6.99 to open the additional treasure boxes in a journey, thinking at least that would help with that problem, however it only unlocked them in ONE map! I have to say that felt like an expensive rip-off - especially considering the hard copy card game was $10…. Please fix this Phase 10!

Stupid game. I love playing phase 10, but however this app make me me hate it. You run out of energy and have to wait a stupid amount of time, and I’m not a fan of pay to win

YOU WILL NOT BEAT BOTS. every single round you will ever play, you will play against 2-3 bots. Every bot gets a minimum of 2-3 wild cards per round, per game. But you do not. You do not get enough moves to even play a match without having to play real $. You also won’t make it past levels 10-20 because the bots are too equipped with wild cards. I’ve been playing for weeks haven’t been able to beat the bots for level 14… unless I pay real $ to have the cards they do. Absolute RIP OFF!!! Don’t even aupport them in real life. Phase 10 is a scam.

Rigged game. This game is horrible to try and win. It often seems rigged and if you spend money it feels like the game works harder against you to try and win. Save your time and patience for something worth it

Waste of time. Completely rigged. I would give this less than one star if I could. This is the most ridiculous game I’ve ever played. Words cannot express how much I hate this game. By level 15 the game difficulty goes from easy to hard and the bots “randomly” selected cards have them completing the phases on their first turn. The game is rigged to try and make you spend money. Don’t download

Rigged for you to lose and spend $. The game is fun, but get ready to be frustrated when it’s rigged for you to lose and there is nothing you can do. I’m only on level 20 and it’s so rigged it’s not even funny.

Rigged. Bots are rigged

Not worth your time. If your cool with wasting time or wanting to throw your phone this game is perfect. I prefer boiling hot lava poured all over my face tbh! Buy the cards and play with friends, don't support this trash.

Money Grab - Don't waste your time. Rated 4.7 out of 5 is false advertising. If you look at the reviews 95% of the players have rated this game a 1 star. I haven't even seen too many 3-4 star ratings so how can it be rated a 4.7? This game is a HUGE $$$ money grab. The first few days, you are very lucky but as soon as you get to Level 15, all of a sudden you hit on an extreme losing streak. The computer bots appear to get the exact cards they need and go out before you even have a chance to play 1 hand. If you want to continue to play and complete the rounds you have to spend your money in order to do so or wait a very long time to accumulate enough energy to proceed. Unfortunately, the computer bots are on both the Journey and Multi-player platforms so you can't avoid them. The Developer has said the cards are a random draw but that is false. It is mathematically impossible for the computer bots to get as many winning hands as they do unless the game is rigged. I love playing the real game with my family and was very happy to see it available through the Apple Store but I am now deleting the game from my iPad and guarantee you will too once you play this game for about 1 week.

A really slow, bad attempt of Phase 10. TLDR: It’s not actually phase 10; it’s “free”, but not really; and it’s just an insult to the actual Phase 10 game. Don’t download this game, it’ll waste an hour of your time just getting to level 10 (as the beginning 10 levels are lengthy tutorials), and afterwards you still don’t get to play all 10 phases - just a random number of and random selections of phases. In game currency is useless and gems don’t really mean much either. It’s a waste of your time. Don’t download this game, you’ll thank me. Explained: Kind of ruins phase 10. The requirement for each level (5 energy) is a lot, and the gems required to pay for more energy is crazy high to entice people to buy more. The game is super slow to start... I mean, if you have a basic understanding of Phase 10, don’t expect to actually play Phase 10 for a bit. The first 10 levels are tutorials, then most levels afterwards are 4 or less phases. It’s called PHASE TEN! The in game currency (coins) is basically useless, it’s just another way for you to buy your way into “tournaments”, where you can more coins, but spend it on nothing. Gems get you basically nothing. It takes forever for energy to replenish (and you need to wait until you have 5 energy to play a game). On that last bit, 5 energy plays you just one PHASE of a game. So, if a game is 4 phases, played with 3 players, and you advanced every phase, it costs you 20 energy to play one game. BUT, if every player advances one at a time, then it’ll cost you 50 energy to play one game. All in all, this isn’t phase 10. A more appropriate title for this game would be “Phases: World Tour”. It’s poorly made, and in all honesty an insult to Phase 10.

FRUSTRATING… This game could be fun if it wasn’t RIGGED.. 1. You SHOULD NOT need energy to play. 2. As you get higher the bots are dealt the exact cards they need to go out while you are struggling.There is always one player who throws away what YOU need. I have been bombarded by so many SKIP cards that I don’t get to play at all. IT’S RIDICULOUS! 3. The COLOR RUNS are BRUTAL to get, yet the bots get them with no problems. 4. THIS GAME IS RIGGED. The developers say it’s not but you just have to play for a while and you’ll find out for yourself. 5. I’ve had to REPLAY MANY LEVELS 4 or 5 times just to get past them. IF YOU LIKE BEING FRUSTRATED AND TICKED OFF.. this is the game for you. Come on developers, GET IT TOGETHER AND FIX THIS GAME.

Frustrating. I enjoyed this game initially but I am now completely frustrated. I been stuck on the same level forever. I don’t mind waiting for lives but you stop having fun once you realize you can’t move forward. While the developers say it is not rigged it has to be. How can you keep losing over and over again meanwhile the bots can complete their hand in one or two rounds every time. I should have read the reviews more thoroughly. It does not deserve the 4+ stars it received.

Rigged. It’s a good game but it’s not played fair

Terrible. Games horrible, doesn’t give out enough energy so you can barley play the game. Jokes

Disappointing. The game is fun but that doesn’t last long. When playing against the “computer”, the cards are always in their favour. You don’t even get the cards that you need to finish 1 phase and the computer wins on the first hand. I refuse to pay for more energy when this game is severely programmed against the player. I will move on to another game.

Need more energy. 5 energy is a lot per game. Some games are 4 or 5 rounds each and that’s half your energy right there. There has to be a better way to get more energy or lower the amount per round.

Pay To Play. Another fantastic game ruined by unrealistic tactics. In the higher levels you’re playing AIs who get 3-4 wild cards PER hand where as you may only see one wild card every 10 games. In order to buy wild cards pre game you need gems which cost loads of money. Don’t wast your time these guys are a complete joke

Waste of time. Takes to long to get energy to play. Money grab.

scam. completely rigged

soso. i REALLY love this game but it pisses me off. ngl there’s a lot of ads so i turn off my wifi to play but every time i reach the amount of stars to open the chests it says i need to update the app and when it opens i’m at a whole different level. it happened just now i was on level 5 of bamboo grove and now i’m at level 38 of far west ( the map before ). i wasted energy and time and it pisses me off. and what’s annoying me most is i’m still gonna continue cause it’s SOO nice and i love it.

So fun.... The thing that makes this game so enjoyable is that is it completely rigged. Cards are obviously dealt so that the computer players will win or lose the round. Not knowing if the game is going to force you to lose before you’ve even had a turn that round is quite exciting. Yes this is sarcastic, yes this game sucks. Please someone make a real phase 10 game.

Hate it- need option to play against humans. Love the card game. Hate this game. Would much rather play against friends or other humans. It’s actually predictable how the computer generated players will play against you. When you get to multi player stages the player that plays after you will almost always play the card you need. You will be blocked constantly and when you finally get some specialty cards in hand the cg players will go out and stick you with them. It’s completely dumb that you have to use lightning for each play and what are the coins even for?

Bots always win !. The bots always win on first hand even online mode seems a bit off. And now it’s very money hungry to play. Way to many ads ads after every round you play. It’s a terrible game now. Definitely some people working making it a 4.7 it’s a terrible game don’t play!

The worst.. This game made me want to rip my own hair out it’s so rigged it’s ridiculous. Don’t waste your time. You can’t win.

How did I forget?. First off I’d like to say these reviews are rigged. As is the game. I downloaded this game a while and deleted it. Then I saw one of my friends at work playing it and decided to get it back because I remembered enjoying it. I guess I forgot why I deleted it, but I remember now. I enjoyed the tutorial, that’s about all u can enjoy before the bots start to whoop ur rear end into yesterday. You have to wait for ur energy to build up just so u can come in dead last and waste about 30 energy on one level. It’s pretty special how u get “run of 8” and 2/3 of the bots magically have that in their hand meanwhile u have garbage cards. Every. Single. Round. Fix ur game and make it worth my money if u want me to spend money on it. This is basically a scam and I’m tired of the free apps being such trash, suckling money from the people who don’t know better. Have some humanity and consideration for your consumer. Oh wait, they don’t care cuz they want money…. I get it.. deleting this game for good now.

Not a game but a invasion of privacy. I had this game for five minutes and I couldn’t proceed any farther than the second level because it didn’t follow the rules the game dictated so I deleted it. A total waste of time. It’s not a game, it’s a program to invade your privacy and I think it should be removed from the App Store completely!

Rigged piece of crap. U cant win what kinda game lets the computer go out on the first turn before u even get to play and yet it never happens if its ur turn not fun to play just a cash grab to make u frustrated and waste money on energy and power ups as there needed to get pass the bots. Absolutely no skill at all to this game pure luck in multi player and impossible against bots. I play the same bits over 12 times and every single time they went out on there first turn real fun guys. Save ur self some time and don't download this dumpster fire of a “game”

WORST GAME OF 2024. Playing this game is fine, until you get to a certain point where the AI becomes physically impossible to beat as the AI eventually has a turn before you only to complete the objectives on that first turn making it impossible to clear your hand! DO NOT PLAY IF YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE!!! THIS GAME IS DESIGNED FOR PLAYERS TO NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY! GAVE ONE STAR BECAUSE A BIG FAT ZERO STARS OS NOT A RATING OPTION! THIS GAME IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME NOR YOUR MONEY!

They cheat. I have always loved this game but it cheats. On a few occasions I have completed all of the hands in the phase, had less points than the other players and not come first. It always seems to occur in phases where there is a treasure chest. So very annoying. I though Mattel was better than that. Disappointed.

So rigged it’s not even funny.... While the game is fun playing with friends over distances during Covid, playing against the bots is ridiculous. I have never written an app review before but this game is so blatantly rigged to get you to buy more “energy” to keep playing, I had to comment. Yes you can just wait a few hours and energy rebuilds to play for free, but the game is coded to make you lose them so quick that many will just want to buy more to keep playing sooner. Shameful!!!

A blatant money grab. The computer player journey mechanic is slow, Cumbersome and uses way too much energy per Hand. The multiplayer friend option is a joke as there is basically no way to play without spending money. At 300 coins per hand/phase (not full game round). Absolute waste of time.

Frustrant. On ne peut jamais gagner contre l’ordinateur dans ce jeu!

The single most rigged game ever. The developers say it’s random but there’s no way. They keep it so you use your energy faster. The “Journey” single player mode is rigged for you to lose. No matter what happens, the CPU goes out on the first hand and has all the cards dealt to them right away. You hardly get a chance to even play before the round is over as the CPU completes a phase. So rigged for you to lose.

BEYOND FRUSTRATING - NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A REAL GAME. The computer players are VERY unrealistic. Way too many times they are dealt everything they need on the first hand and go out - before you get to play or within 1 turn. Alternatively that never happens to your hand. Like the game BUT sure would like to get a chance to play! No real card game would this happen in and especially with this consistency! Guy 2 people away from you CONSISTENTLY throws the card you need - this game COULD BE FUN but instead is just EXTREMELY UNREAL & FRUSTRATING! Adjust your algorithms so we might actually enjoy playing please!

My opinion. This game can be a lot more fun if they let you choose which opponents you played against and if you actually had a chance to win more than one game out of every 50 or 60 played !!!! Wouldn’t even give it one star if I had a choice !!!!!

Remove energy if you buy the game. I think it’s ridiculous that this game still has energy even after you buy it. Remove energy if one removes ads. Don’t be greedy. Plus clearly the AI is stacked. Make the game a little more balanced.

Must have phone game!. I’ve been playing this game for years now, it’s so addicting! They always have new updates to keep things interesting. Never gets boring

Not worth the time. Honestly, I enjoyed this game for the first hour I played it, it was good for quick rounds, and easy objectives. Then the ads got ridiculously long, popped up between every round, I realized how quickly energy depleted and how you can only have a max of 50 at a time (costs you 5 energy a round dammit), the bots are rigged past stage 7 or 8 in journey mode 100%... the list goes on. I’m not sure how the game has 4.7 stars, as all the top comment reviews are under 2 stars. The game needs to be redeveloped because it doesn’t seem very fair, fun, or balanced between the player and the AI. Regardless of what the developers say, I’m QUITE sure the game was coded to give bots the cards they need first or by their second hand. Not fun, and do not recommend. Find another game.

Rigged. Great idea and super fun game. However, 5 energy per games makes it a very short game and all the bots get all the cards right away. Not saying I sh oh or win all the time, but it should be more fair!

Is this game rigged?. I think so

Corruption at it best!. This game is rigged the computer gets all the special cards. How does this rate 4.7 stars just about every review I’ve read gave it 3 stars or less I wouldn’t even bother purchasing and give in to these corrupt developers... terrible don’t advertise as a free game . What a scam

Fun but not worth paying. Funny how I decided to pay for ads and I still get ads. Would like my money back.

Rigged. The game is so rigged I could basically be a professional commentary reporter for every game. It’s literally not even fun at this point. I don’t expect to win every time. I just expect it to be fair game.

Company removing overly critical reviews with terrible customer service on top of the broken RNG. How I led my first review: RNG - random number generator; how randomized systems decide what comes next in a game of chance. Their system is broken and an embarrassment for Mattel, Phase 10, and classic gin rummy. Thought maybe I accidentally skipped over my review when I was attempting to edit it from 2 stars to 1, but low and behold, it’s gone (go figure with the 5 stars vs 1-4 star ratio and how broken and jerry rigged the game feels.) I had my first time issue when someone won even when they had more points in the negative. We both completed our final phases in the same final round, but even the rules on their FAQ say otherwise. Must be a mistake, right? Well, they’ll treat you like any other customer - scripted jargon trying to explain elementary info. But once you push for answers on how and why the system is, they’ll start getting passive aggressive even when they’re not answering your original questions in the first place. And you were the one being level headed, that’s the crazy part! I’d love to find out that their figures are slipping, as that will give Mattel another reason to drop them pronto. Disgrace for a simple card game.

Starting to fall a little short.. I have loved and obsessed over this game for the past two years now. One of the only games I play, but lately I’m starting to get a little tired and even frustrated over the CPUs and the ads on this game. I find it to be completely frustrating how when I get “randomized cards” I really get 3 different colors in a 7 of one color match, 3 rounds in a row. Also, the idea of everyone starting off with 5 sets of 2 on the first phase is just ludicrous. You’re telling me I have to sit there for 2-3 rounds for the other cpus to automatically win so my energy can be wasted? It’s just very frustrating situations that I get stuck in this game whenever this is supposed to be a game for me to RELAX. Also it’s even hard to advance when you do finally get through a phase, because magically on the next level, every single CPU will have a skip card on hand and use it on you. I get it when you mean “hard levels”, but some of the CPU moves are very brutal and nonrandomized. As other reviews are saying, this game is rigged and you will win when it wants you to win.

Too much money to win. I agree with other reviewers, when you get past the first world in “journey”, in order to win, you’re going to have to spend quite a bit of money. In journey play, the computerized opponents almost every hand get dealt 2-3 wilds & will lay down most if not all their cards in 1-2 turns, even on “difficult” levels, which leaves you sometimes not even a chance to play, so therefore wasting your bonus cards. I get I’m not going to win every time however in Alpine world on hard level the same computerized “player” has won that level 12 times in a row, while I’ve never made it past phase 3 (6 phases in this level) (& yes I’ve counted & been frustrated). I then turned to multiplayer and found the same thing, the other allegedly “real people” are also getting dealt 2-3 wild cards & laying down almost all cards almost every phase. I’ve played this game as a real life card game, that doesn’t happen that often. So, while I was looking forward to this game, I’m not willing to keep spending money to be frustrated & seldom win. I will be deleting this game.

Rigged?. The game in theory is ok. I played the old version a few years back. I was able to choose the player level of myself and the computer opponents. This version does not allow that. I feel it’s somewhat rigged because of how the computer plays. When I’m dealt a decent hand for a round, I don’t ever get a chance to play at all. The computer players close out and win within 1-2 hands. When I’m dealt a crappy hand, it seems to take forever. I still tend to lose more often than not, so they take me for a lot of points. I’ve also been keeping track of the times I win the hand or at least get the cards needed. It’s averages about 1/10, 10% of the time. The hard (skull) levels are much worse. I’ve been on the same one for 2 weeks. Playing every day, 2-3 hours a day. Very discouraging to say the least. And don’t get me started on the “skip” cards! That’s definitely rigged Against us human players, and I’m keeping track of that also. - Oh yeah, the stages do not matter. It’s any and all. I recently opened another scene. I keep passing round 1 of 2, in a stage. In round 2, I haven’t even taken a turn and lose to both computer players in the first hand played every time. Go figure.

100% Scam really -1 star but even 1 stars won’t post. Once you give a low rating you will not beat the bot For some reason the reviews are not posting the first time when you give a one star rating…. Red flag #1275 Read all of the honest reviews…. Graphics are great, the concept is fun…. However, this game is designed to trigger the reward center in your brain and then make it impossible to beat, leaving your coming back for more. The algorithm will let you win just enough until you have to buy energy, skips, and wild cards to even compete. Once your paid energy dips to 20-30, the computer will win every time until you reup. I am a software developer and this type of conditional programming is used in all types of games to use AI to adjust the difficulty of opponents. Only here, it is based on your energy level. You will get just enough wins (the AI opponents get easier) as you make purchases. Once your energy dwindles, you AI difficulty increases. If you have free energy (your allotted 50) don’t count on passing a round with no less than 4 attempts. This is designed to get you chasing the high of reward…. There is no prize, there is no getting your money back, just don’t.

Average with potential. As a person who has played the game for over a decade, I was extremely excited to see this transformed for a mobile version. There seems to be plenty of content between the multiplayer and worlds. I enjoy the aspect of additions to phases (ex: odds of one color, 3 over 10, etc) and the multiplayer ‘online’ version. However, i have found that the game is extremely difficult to progress - with the energy being used even if you win, and the hard levels being seemingly impossible to win on the first try unless you pay real world money for skips or wild cards. The game started with a LONG tutorial that you cannot skip (with full volume and music blaring), and I have been playing for years. I was also disappointed that I can only receive the World chests if I have facebook, which I do not. Thats seems unfair to those that don’t want to have a social media account for whatever their personal reasons may be. Overall, the game has plenty of potential but many flaws. I have been playing for months and I still can’t figure out what the coins are for, which seems odd. Not to mention it seems like the reviews seem rigged.. the only detailed onesare negative reviews.

Don’t buy nor give this thing money.. It starts off great with all the extra energy but it quickly runs out and after that you pretty much never have energy. Instead of taking 5 for a level it takes 5 per phase you play, at level 15 there is 6 phases so just for that early level it takes 30 energy also there is no way to earn coins unless it’s through multiplayer and if you have a string of bad luck you can’t even play multiplayer anymore cuz the money required to get in can only be bought for real money or you have to wait on the free chest. To make it worse to play in a private match with a friend cost coins but not only that it makes each phase extra count. To play just 2 phases with my Girl cost 400 coins and we only played one match. Absolutely inexcusable how the only way to even play a private match with a friend you have to pay real world money to get enough coins for just one hand. It’s disgusting how predatory the game is. It’s essentially unplayable after the first extra energy they give you. Don’t play if you can’t spend money on it. You’ll spend more time waiting than playing. Edit: the publisher responded and just did corporate speak and didn’t even acknowledge how criminally predatory this game is. And that you have to pay to play private matches. The developer and this game are a joke.

HELP. My game all of a sudden told me that I could not access parts of it anymore such as multiplayer, fortune hunt and treasure chests because I needed to be “online to use that feature”. I know for a fact that I had excellent internet connection and could not figure out why it consistently told me I needed to be online. I deleted the app and re-installed it to attempt to fix the issue. No luck. Now i’m lost without my account that had a ton of progress, coins and phase-bucks on it. All of that hard work and time down the drain. I attempted to recover my old account through the FAQ section. Useless and a waste of time. Nothing was helpful at all for my account recovery unless I had used Facebook to link to my Phase 10 account. I had used my apple ID to create my account, so the facebook route was useless to me. Theres not even an option to contact customer support via email unless filled out by the questionnaire. The questionnaire in itself is ridiculous. I NEED TO TALK TO AN ACTUAL PERSON SO I CAN GET MY ACCOUNT BACK. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

Fun. I love this game, miss the old one but this one has alot more mini side games that are really fun to play. The downfalls on this game is the time is takes to earn enough lives to play. I get maybe 30 minutes every morning unless my side games help with lives. Then you have to wait a couple hours before you can play at least a few rounds. The computer players are just too hard, it’s frustrating to be on the same phase or game sets for days before you progress. The computers do know what your holding or what you need, happens every time they go out, they just happen to throw out the exact card you needed. And coins? Why even have them I have 6400 coins and have no idea what to do with them, they are pointless. Now the ads, yes you can pay to remove them but I have gotten used to it. Plan to watch an ad after every turn and end of game sets. I do believe these 3 downfalls I have are just so people pay money. Money to remove ads, buy skips or wilds to beat computer players and to buy more lives. It’s fun tho I am definitely addicted to continue.

I love this game BUT. This game is super fun and I would play it way more if they weren’t so shady. I have to deduct stars because they are misleading with how they charge for rewards. Be aware that if you pay to double your treasure chests (implied that it’s a one time charge) that it only applies to the journey board that you are on currently. If you move through the levels and get to a new board, you would have to pay again (and I believe it was like $4.99 or something). Because I was on the very first board that was rather simple to move through, that charge only lasted me like one day. They make the other ways to purchase energy super expensive so that people think they are getting a good value by buying the pass. Seems unethical. It’s also annoying that you can never build up more than 50 lightening bolt energy…even if you don’t deplete it completely while you are playing. Again, that’s shady. I understand if they only want to GIFT you a max of 50, but if you have more than zero when you leave the game, you should be given 50 more, not just the difference. These annoyances make me not want to support this developer even though it’s a fun game.

Not user friendly. The app itself works very well and is simple to learn and use. However, the game is very clearly set up to get the users to spend money. Each level has several phases and each phase costs 5 energy. The cap on energy is 50, so you can only play 10 phases AND you have to spend energy each time you have to play a phase again because the computers won. You can quickly blow through your energy and never progress in the phases. If a computer finishes all of the phases before you do? You have to restart the entire level, again costing energy each time. The least they could do is only charge energy the first time you try a phase or even better make it cost that energy for the whole level and not individual phases. Sometimes a computer will go out before it even gets to your first turn, and the game will never start with you being the first player to go. The only reason I still have the app is because I love the actual card game but don’t get to play it too often. But I’m honestly getting tired of the app. It’s very, very clear that they’re just trying to make money with this and not have an enjoyable experience for players.

SUCH A SHAME. Update: I keep wanting this game to be awesome so I keep playing it and it keeps being lame. I’m in the Savannah now and the levels have become un-winnable. The game simply will not give you the cards you need to pass, and the other players get everything they need in the first few draws. WHY ARE YOU RUINING THIS POTENTIALLY GREAT GAME, DEVELOPERS?!?! MAKE IT FAIR. I will watch your ads for as many wilds as double skips as you offer, I already paid you money to have the game itself be ad free. JUST MAKE IT FAIR. And also, LET US KEEP OUR ENERGY WHEN WE WIN!!!!!! C’mon you guys quit being greedy and lame. ALSO, please explain why you have so many stars when the reviews are bad...??????? Original review: This game could be so so great! The graphics are awesome and the game itself is so addicting! But (without going into too much detail) the whole point of it really is to give you not enough of anything to play the game and no way to get what you need except to pay for it with cold hard cash. Also, the AI players you play against are too lucky...it’s not realistic or fair. I would happily pay a one time fee for the game just to have it function more like a game and less like a rigged slot machine. Also, how are the positive reviews so high? All of the reviews I read were negative. Another cheat.

Initially fun, then a joyless cash grab. Initially fun, like classic Phase 10. You get to complete the different phases at different stages against players of variable difficulty and earn stars and other kinds of game currency so you can purchase prizes (essentially extra wild cards and skips). Colorful and entertaining graphics. Then around level 18 it becomes extremely difficult to beat the computer players, who magically start getting amazing hands, and impossible to accrue the “stars” you need to get prizes. I also don’t like the fact that you need these “lightning bolts” to even play hands and can’t continue once you run out, so you either have to wait to keep playing since they accumulate with time, purchase them with in-game currency you earn by winning, or spend real money. Feels like a joyless cash grab really quickly, since in addition to beating you out of in-game currency, the app also constantly pushes you to buy prize packs so you can keep playing and power-ups so you even have a chance of winning. Very entertaining for a short time, then unsustainably difficult and frustrating. I played the app a lot when I first got it, but deleted it after a week. Which is too bad, because I am a big fan of the card game.

This game is not relaxing at all. First of all, this game is not even close to the original card game of phase 10, so all the weird phases you have to do like 9 of one color, 3 of one color or 3 even of one color is just ridiculous. Also when you’re going up against 3-4 players, it’s really hard to win, whenever I get close to winning I end up getting tag teamed and get skipped for a whole minute before I can play again, and it takes me a long time to regenerate my energy before I can try again. I have to play multiple times on certain levels before I can move on, and it’s sad because I’m only on the FIRST MAP, why is it so hard on the first map?!?! Also, it’s really annoying that the one time I wanted to use special cards the bots just have their phase completed and I lose them instantly. It’s not fair because this game makes special cards essential to win, without them, you’ll have to play a couple of times before moving on, unless you get lucky. I’ve seen other people complain about this game, but It doesn’t seem like the developers have done anything about it, which is disappointing. But oh well, I guess that’s what happens when you’re just money hungry.

Fun, but Difficult. This game is very fun. Like, spend-hours-and-real-money-playing fun. The app is also beautiful and runs smoothly. BUT, it can be far too difficult, which makes it very frustrating. Like, rage-quit frustrating. Even when playing with real players on multi-player, it can feel like the odds are AGAINST you when you keep losing round after round. The only way to get around losing rounds repeatedly is to spend real money to buy skips and wild cards. That’s annoying. Like, makes-me-want-to-delete-the-app annoying. I also do not like the fact that I can’t change my name and profile picture unless I am connected to Facebook. I do not have a Facebook account. So I just have to live with my stupid generic name and faceless picture. My suggestions are to add a difficulty level preference (as other have suggested) and allow players to customize their name and picture within the game. Some people like to play games on their phone to relax…not to rage and become frustrated because they can’t pass levels.

Way too hard sometimes. I started playing this game and loved it. I was able to get past a few levels with a bit of a challenge, but a fun challenge. That all changed when I made it past the jungle. I’m on next level (Coral Sea) and I can’t get past level 3. It’s not labeled as a difficult level but I’ve been playing this same level for almost a week. It seems the bot players always get extra star cards, skips etc. They are able to play through the phase and have all their cards after just picking up ONE card. Sometimes the bot players will start, pick up one card and finish the phase without anyone else even getting a turn. This game was super fun, and I enjoyed that it can be sometimes challenging but this is getting ridiculous. I’m frustrated and honestly am thinking about deleting. I love how to game runs - it’s smooth and not too many ads. Sometimes the ads can be annoying but mostly they are short and I’m able to skip them quickly. If you will decrease the difficulty on the bots a smidge, I’d be happy to give this game a five star review.

Unfair games. I love playing Phase 10, so when I saw there was an app, I was happy to get it. I really liked playing for a while, but then it started to seem like the games were rigged. It started out with just a phase here and there, then turned into a round once in a while, and now it happens with almost every round. I’ve played the current round I’m stuck on no fewer than 15 times now and cannot get past it. The “computerized” players seem to have all the cards they need or get them quickly, and will complete two or three phases before I can even complete one. I would expect that to a degree on the harder rounds, but not to the extent that I’m experiencing on the easier rounds. It’s irritating and frustrating to constantly have to waste energy over and over on the same round. People don’t want to continue to play a game where they constantly lose. It’s also frustrating that it takes so long to build energy back up, especially when you have to play a round multiple times. Before writing this review, I read many of the others, and found that this is a common occurrence, so much so that it is NOT random. Developers, you seriously need to make some changes to make this an enjoyable game.

Money hungry!!. They have different events where you can achieve goals and collect items but in order to complete these missions, you are required to BUY extra chests, gems or whatever else you need to complete the event and get everything you want to achieve the goals. You can’t have a social life, can’t work, so what you need to do to maintain your home or anything else while trying to complete these events because the game makes it impossible to do if you’re not glued to the game 24/7 and if you don’t buy things. The goals are very hard and they don’t give you enough time to complete the missions to complete the event. The bot players cheat and do what they can to keep you from winning a round or any level. The game is A JOKE and a WASTE OF TIME!! Don’t bother with it because it will SCAM YOU!! I give a 1 star rating because of that! They give you free coins but you can’t use them to buy anything in the game for example- extra energy, gems, anything needed for an event. They would rather you buy everything with your real money!! F THAT!! I’m done with this game!! Money hungry people run this app!! I quit playing this game because it’s way too stressful! I know so many other people who did the same thing. This game needs A LOT of changes before I think about playing again!

CHEATING computers!!. This game is SO FUN! I had SO much fun playing it in real life and on my phone. I know the computers are supposed to be challenging and you can't win every single time, but tell me why I've played the 2nd "hard" level 12 times now and I've lost every single time!? It's really not fair how I'll be doing so well and I just have 2 cards to get rid of, then the computer will lay everything out and mess me up. It's really not fair how this has happened twice now where the computer won on the very first turn of the phase!! It's REALLY not fair when I wasted good Wild cards that you get before you have to use the gems (that you have to pay real money for) and that's just gone as soon as someone wins. It's almost as if this freaking game is PUSHING you to buy gems and energy just so you're able to get wild cards to make them into whatever card you need so you can win. I refuse to put real money into this game if it goes on like this. Also, once I was FINALLY the only one in the 6th phase, suddenly EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING REALLY WELL and I end up with -400 thus losing the entire game and needing to repeat the freaking level. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! Like another review said: Put them on "normal" not "extreme".

Phase 10: BROKEN GARBAGE!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD. I love playing Phase 10, and have played for years. Recently, a friend told me about this app, so I excitedly downloaded it. At first, the app was very fun. Things went downhill quickly. (1) Upon reaching level 18, it became evident that the computer player “Glenn” was rigged to when every time. I’d be dealt a terrible hand repeatedly while EVERY TIME he would go out during his first turn. One time that this did happen on level 18, the computer player “Quinn” teamed up with “Glenn,” played skip cards on me 8 times in a row, then “Glenn” won the round. 8 skip cards in a row? THAT IS NOT STATISTICALLY POSSIBLE. THE COMPUTER IS CLEARLY CHEATING!! (2) It takes hours to fill up your diamonds, which will be gone in mere minutes trying to beat a cheating computer. This is a idiotic, greed-based model. (3) The game was fun at first, with few ads and the possibility to win. Now it’s impossible to beat the cheating computers, it takes ages to get a chance to play due to the diamond system, and ads incessantly pop-up, taking 30 seconds to 1 minute of your time before you’re allowed to return to play. Phase 10 Team - you want me to play this game and watch the ads for your revenue stream? FIX THE CHEATING. FIX THE DIAMOND SYSTEM. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!! The owners of the app should feel shame. You won’t get any more of my time, or what you really want: MONEY!

Scam. This game is rigged I had been playing for a couple weeks doing pretty well (win some and lose some) and was stuck at 15 wondering why or how was it possible I could never get ahead. Then, I go and look at the reviews and realize all of the things I was feeling were accurate about the computer ALWAYS winning the 3 CPUs at level 15 always seem to have every wild or skip card, they get every card on the first run or you get skipped before you even have the opportunity to play and then it’s pretty obvious the algorithm never gives you the card you need to, even after reading the reviews I continued to play until I realized in order to move ahead in this level I would have to buy a bunch of boosts and I had no desire giving any more money that scams me out of my boosts, beware when you purchase boosts they’ll be in your deck but 9/10 you won’t be able to use it because the CPU will phase out on the first run...if you have frivolous money to spend have at it, I deleted this app today I rather play with the cards and real people than mess with these money scheming algorithms, Mattel should do better...I’m not saying let us win but make it fair and make the cards random like they try to say in their responses

Fun game but can be frustrating. I’ve played this game almost every day for about a month now. Anyone can play since the goals for each round are easy to follow and repetitive. It can be somewhat addicting until you run out of energy. Once you run out, you have to wait about 2 hours before it’s at its max again. That’s not too much a problem since most games are made that way. The frustrating part is how hard the levels are once you get passed the first few. I’ll start a round and the computer players will use most or all of their cards in a single turn. While, the cards I’m dealt are either somewhat close to being used or not at all. It makes each round finish quick, which makes me use more energy. In addition, even if you win the level, if you gain a lot of negative points for every card you don’t use, you lose stars to win a good score overall. Sometimes it takes a few tries but usually it take over a dozen before you can even get just one or two stars. Overall, it’s an okay game if you are looking to pass time.

Used to be fun. I loved this game so much and played it all the time. Now, not so much. The more you play, the more you lose, which is the opposite of how experience works. And ever since the new challenge where you can chose your phase, I cannot win. Ever. It’s ridiculous. I won’t ever be dealt a proper hand to do anything and the bots are playing their phase within three draws. I cannot do anything to win. The bots always get more skips or wilds and always have the availability to complete the phase before anyone else does. The amount of skips and wilds a bot gets compared to myself or my friends is ridiculous. Why cheat so much? When it offers an add to get a wild or a skip, I never get my reward. The app will crash, the video won’t load, it will say the video or the reward was “lost in transit”, anything but giving me the reward. And I agree with everyone else. The energy is ANNOYING. It takes 5 minutes to get 1 energy. It requires 5 energy play 1 round. You have to wait 25 minutes to play a 5 minute game. It’s quite ridiculous. I love this game and have loved it since it was a card game but this is making me not want to play anymore.

Phase 10. I love this game this is probably one of the funnest games are played every time I win I get so happy if I don’t win I will buy my mistakes I just absolutely love this game and I think that this will actually be pretty dang popular if people actually knew kind of had to play because a lot of people I know haven’t heard of Phase 10 but I mean I’ll love it it’s my favorite cord game of all time me and my family would just sit at the table and play it all day long and I love it so much and I just wanna thank you so much for doing this because now when I go to school some days I get so bored I just get on my phone and I don’t have nothing to do until download Phase 10 get on my phone play Phase 10 and then I’m so happy for the rest of the day thank y’all so much for making this game it completely made my entire life a lot more easier instead of miserable I love how y’all made us do it but I’ll just look like I can’t stop telling you how much I enjoyed this game I just want to say thank you so much and I really appreciate y’all thank you!!

This app needs to get it together - look at your reviews!!. This app is bs. I’ve never been so frustrated by what’s supposed to be fun. The fact that the developers just lie in their response and say they programmed it to be totally random is a bunch of crap. The game gets noticeably harder as you go on, which makes sense for an app game I guess but eventually you just can’t win. Phase 10 is a game that has very little to do with skill and a lot to do with luck and timing. Taking luck out of the equation makes it no better (or more fair) than your average slot machine. As others have said, the computer players aren’t the only thing that’s unfair about this game. As far as I can tell, the coins are useless for anything but garnering more coins. Diamonds are incredibly overpriced for the amount of stuff they’ll get you - the lowest purchase point buys enough power-ups for two games, tops, which won’t even boost you a whole level in the off chance you do win. The game also caps your energy low enough so that you can only play for ten minutes at a time before having to wait hours to play again if you don’t want to spend money - but hey, $2 will get you a whole ‘nother 90 seconds of playtime! Wow! ...Maybe I’ll just go back to the card game.

Needs Some Asjustments. Initially this seems like a lot of fun. However there are some things that makes me want to quit. 1. Each level has multiple phases and you have to pay five bolts to play each phase. The max you can earn for free is 50, which means there is a max of 10 phases before you either pay or wait hours to refill. A level can have 30 phases in it between all the tiers. 2. While the developers say that card distribution is random the computer players get all the cards they need on their first turns every time on the first phase of every level. This happens every single time leaving me with no move at all and a wicked high score as well. 3. There seems to be a scoring glitch. I can win every level (but the first one) and have the lowest score, but if I don’t win the final phase in a level (go out with no cards left) whoever goes completely out wins, even if they have 250 points to my 80. I think this game has potential but there is a huge money grab. While I don’t mind paying from time to time. To have more than a little bit of play time you have to pay frequently, which I can’t afford to do.

Unfair and money hungry. This is literally the worst game to play without spending your money. The computer is SUPER aggressive when you’re in the lead and the fact that they complete phases on their first try AND go out before you even get a turn shouldn’t even be a thing. Then the fact that you can still lose in the end even though you have less points AND completed the phase as well is just ridiculous. You constantly have to play the “hard” levels over because they don’t give you any special cards, meanwhile the computer will have 4 wild cards in one hand for some reason. Drawing from the deck constantly and not pulling the card you need after about 5 times is super excessive and definitely needs to be revised. Today I will be deleting this game and never looking back. Nobody wants to play a game they have to KEEP repeating the same levels on. I’m literally only on the second world and can’t get past a “hard” level that I’ve been playing for days. I’m over it.

Rigged. This game is kind of ridiculous with how predictable it is. Every round almost it will let you get a considerable lead and then all the sudden you will lose every hand within 1 minute or less and all the other players will get ahead of you and you end up losing. After being 3-4 phases ahead of them. It’s easy to predict the order in which it will happen as well. Whichever player you have the biggest lead over wins every round, usually on their first or second turn, until they catch up with the next player. And then both of those players win every round and move up phases until usually every player is on the same phase. And then typically one of them will win. After predicting how almost every round and phase would go for about two weeks now, I finally deleted it. Like others have said, it’s nothing but a money grab. They give you the rush of thinking you’re winning and then suddenly you’re in last place, which makes you want to buy more diamonds or whatever to get more turns or wild cards or skip cards. And if you don’t. Then you have to wait at least 25 minutes for another turn because it take 5 minutes for each point to replenish. Could be a really fun game if not for the scam that it is.

Unbalanced, unfair, rigged. The majority of the time the computer players will layout within 3 turns and go out within 5. There are way too many occurrences of them going out on their first or second turn. Their hands are exponentially better than yours every single time. Whenever they need a run they get it or only need one care. Whenever they need a set they get it immediately. You however, get the opposite. When you need a run you get multiple of the same cards. When you need a set you almost always get a 1-10 run. The number of wilds or skips they receive is almost always greater than the amount you receive. This game needs a balancing act. I’ve been on the same boss level for over a month because of how broken it is. I’ve even tried cheating the system and quitting out before the game registers that they’ve gone out to try and get a better hand and literally nothing works. If you don’t watch ads for the bonus cards it’s hard to get anywhere for boss levels. Also expect to lose the bonus cards you get because it’s highly likely that when you use them the computer will go out before you even get a turn. On a completely different note if you don’t drag your skip to the player it’s just discarded. You should be able to drag to a player or put it on the discard pile and choose a player.

Opponents. Why is it that every time I start a round, I’m last in rotation, I have no good cards for what I need, and the AI magically is able to win before anyone else gets to go?? Why stock the ai with cards so that they win first round always that seems so stupid and such a design flaw. I understand you want your users to spend all of their money on special cards so that they might actually get a chance to go, maybe even win if there’s a blue moon. They responded. They told me they just “can’t make it fair and reasonable”. So please keep that in mind for when you download this game, you get nothing but ads and games you can’t win without watching ads every five second, or spending all your money. The amount of people I see in these reviews mad about the same thing- THE COMPUTER WIN EVERY TIME. That is in almost every single one of the reviews I have read today. I’ve deleted and redownloaded this app many, many, MANY, times. Every single time I have this exact same issue. You get too far, it literally won’t let you go further. The computer will get exactly what they need to place their sets and then discard their remaining before you even get the chance to go. Getting ready to delete it again

Great concept, can not win. Would be a great game, but they do not follow the card game rules. I have been skipped 6 times in a row, and never got to draw a card. I was in a 6 phase set, on level 3, and the other 3 players were on level 1, i got skipped at least 3 times per level, and never got a chance to play again, as Kadin went out. He won all 5 hands in a row, and on at least 3 pf them he was dealt a perfect hand. This game needs to be more of a game of chance nit a rigged game. If you buy the powerups, you can almost certainly expect to get caught holding them. Much like other comments, if you need 3 sets of 2 or 7 odd of one color you can expect to be dealt a run of 7 or 8 or be dealt 3 even of every color. Not once when playing the real card game have i experienced such blatant card stacking. Developers of the app need to rethink their goal, as i deleted the app due to frustration, and would not purchase in app because of the blatant stacking of the cards, you could be certain that spending money would be a waste of time and money since the game appears to be stacked against you even with the free power ups. Don't waste you time with this app.....you will get frustrated and delete it like i did

Game does NOT follow Phase 10 rules. I’ll start this review by stating I’ve tried leaving feedback on the developer’s website (can’t find an actual email address to send a message to) and the site literally does not allow you to submit your feedback. It either states you failed the robot test or there’s a network error or your submission needs to be less than 500 words (even though my submission is maybe 100 words at most). Now...I’ve encountered the following scenario at least 5 times. Phase 10 rules clearly state that if two or more players complete the final phase, the player with the best score wins (meaning the player with the score closest to zero). However, every time I and at least one other computer player finishes the final phase on the same hand, the computer player ALWAYS wins. I’ll have a score of -50 and the computer will have -100 and yet somehow, I get 2nd place. This either NEEDS to be fixed or please rename your game and do not consider yourselves the official Phase 10 game OR update your description to state “this game does not follow actual Phase 10 rules”. Then again, their site thinks 100 words is more than 500 words, so it doesn’t shock me that the app doesn’t get scores right either.

EDITED—Disappointed. ETA: I hate this app so much that I periodically check back at the reviews to read how much other people hate it, too. It’s therapeutic lol. This is the worst game I’ve ever played in my life. I have never been so frustrated by an app. To the developers: if you’re going to give another “tHe CaRdS aRe dEaLt RaNdOmLy” or “aLl PlAyErS aRe ReGaRdEd ThE sAmE” response, don’t even bother. It’s honestly insulting. I by no means expect to win every hand, but when I’m skipped 3 times in a row for 5 hands in row while every other player magically has the cards they need in the first turn for every single phase, it’s obvious that there’s a problem. Y’all need to be taken by the geese for your ridiculous responses. All of these people are not wrong. Your game is the problem. I have loved phase 10 since I was a kid, so I was super excited to find this app. Unfortunately, it’s very frustrating bc the bots almost always have all the cards for their phase in the first turn or two, meaning you hardly even get to play. You use 5 “lives” to play one single round, and more often than not, you don’t even get to play that round bc the bots phase out immediately. Also, y’all are delusional if y’all think I’m about to pay actual currency for a handful of lives that are useless bc of the way the game is set up. Y’all would be better off charging one time for the app

Needs work. Its clear that you have to pay to get wild cards or you will be up against computers who can play their hand every time in just a couple rounds its not at all like playing the real game the first few rounds they make it seem like you gonna have a fair chance then they make it nearly impossible to win while prompting you to buy cards before each round. Got a response which may be deleted or edited suggesting that you do not need to pay for energy which is true and also not what you would need to pay for in order to win energy does deplete fairly quickly but refills on its own over time which is fine by me its the fact that in nearly every round the computers can play their hand almost immediatly and rounds only tend to last for 3 or 4 turns which is nothing like the real game where a round can take upwards of 20 minutes or even more to complete and because of this i felt pressured to buy powerups that amount to cheating in order to get to the next match maybe these powerups could be occasionally gifted to players as a way to help get by a tougher level as for me im done playing for now and will check to see later if they have made positive changes at a later date if not i will delete

CPUs Cheat. I’ve been stuck on level 15 for more than a week trying to get past it but the CPUs manage to always have the best cards in each round; it doesn’t matter if its colors, 2 sets of 4, runs of 12, etc. For example, me and the other CPUs were on phase 3 (4 of one color, run of 5), I don’t even get to take my turn when a CPU picks up one card and discards to complete his phase with always at least one wild card. The simple fact I need to wait 25 minutes to play a sometimes 30 second round of Phase 10 where I don’t even get to take my turn and the CPUs do nothing but skip me 2/3 times in a row or win with their magic hand is unfair. They always manage to complete a phase with at least 3 wild cards, if I could insert screenshots I would. Finally, when I first started the game there were NO ads, now I’ve been playing for a week and I’m bombarded with advertisements for subpar games in the middle of rounds. This is ridiculous. I wish I read the reviews about this game before I downloaded it, everyones having the same problem with the unfair CPUs. I don’t care if “some people have had success with this game”, it’s unrealistic and your consumers are all having the same issues. Fix them. This game was a waste of my time. If you download the game, good luck with level 15! This was a rip off.

Fun But Not Worth Waiting For. I see the other reviews complaining about how the computer always wins and so on and so forth. I personally don’t care and don’t mind, I love this game and just want to play for the sake of playing which is exactly the reason why I downloaded this game. This app is formatted very well and incredibly easy to navigate — let me also note it is very beginner friendly to new players. My main complaint which unfortunately brings down my overall experience with this app is that you can’t just play to play. EVERYTHING is worth “gems” “bolts/energy” “coins” — I understand using gems and coins for playing with real people, I’m not upset about that. But the fact that you have to “pay” to play the computer? That’s absurd to me. Every game I’ve ever played has always had pay features / some sort of monetary system set up so I’m used to it, but this is the first game I’ve ever played where you can’t even play for fun against the computer especially when there are no prizes to gain/win. Unfortunately, as fun and as well formatted this app is for the game of Phase 10, I have resorted to playing online on websites on my computer just so I can play mindlessly for hours on end.

Come on now. Edit: Thought I would give the game another go after several months. Nope. Instantly infuriated at how rigged this game is. I truly wish there was another phase 10 app out there that I could play because I’m deleting this immediately. Okay seriously. The multiplayer is fairly fun, but the levels against computers are really just over the top. It’s statistically impossible to draw the hands the computers do over and over and over and OVER again. I get that when the levels get harder in any game, you’re going to lose a few times, maybe even get stuck for a bit. But my god is it irritating that the computers hands are clearly fixed. It would be much more enjoyable if the deck was truly randomized, as it very, very clearly is not. Definitely comes off as a cash grab as the gems barely get you anything for the cost, and often times you really aren’t gonna make it past a boss level without using the power ups every single hand. Again, I understand that reformatting it as an app game would require some differences, but it’s just so far away from playing Phase 10 in real life that it’s not even enjoyable. No one wants to play a game that’s blatantly rigged from the first hand.

The algorithm is messed up. This game favors the computer players. They want you to spend money on boosters. It’s extremely frustrating to play when you know that the computer will win pretty much every time. It’s sad because I really enjoy the game . I wouldn’t recommend and I’m going to delete as soon as I find another similar game. PS - two stars because I do enjoy the game. It’s just not a fair game. Developers keep claiming the game doesn’t cheat, but it does. All the negative reviews will tell you that. Edit- I stopped playing a while ago because of the algorithm being skewed towards the computer. It’s quite obvious when you’re playing three computer opponents and everyone of them skips me. EVERY ONE. And I’ve taken screenshots where game after game the computer wins with a score of zero while I sit on level one. And, the ads have gotten crazy. I really like this game but you guys just cheat. And it’s not “luck of the draw.” It’s blatant cheating and manipulation to make us spend money. I refuse to do that on a game that’s designed to cheat. I spend money on other games but they’re not set up to cheat the players. I remember now why I left. This time, I won’t be coming back and I will be deleting it. Dropped star rating to one.

Losing becomes inevitable. This app was fun at first but after you finish the first map and you’re onto the next it is impossible to win. The computers are winning on their first pluck before you’re even able to glance at your card the game is over. I enjoyed this game because I was able to learn and play to win but now it is frustrated and I am going to delete it soon because what’s the point in still playing if the computers are designed to win. I can understand them winning sometimes but it is literally all the time. Literally before you are even able to look at your cards the game is over because they’re winning !! There are also too many adds I shouldn’t be forced to pay for no ads & there are also too many extra things to earn that don’t benefit me. Like why am I collecting eggs? There should be more ways to earn bolts not coins, paws and eggs. I am collecting coins and those coins can’t even get me diamonds or bolts. And when I did buy 100 bolts I didn’t receive them. Other than that the game is high quality and great in the beginning but not so great as you continue on.

COMPUTERS TOO DIFFICULT!. i used to play gin rummy as a kid, so i was having a great time starting off with this game since it’s such a fun game. however as it progressed i have grown frustrated and probably won’t play anymore. it is ridiculous and almost comical how difficult the CPUs are in this game. i don’t know what coding was done to make them so difficult to beat, but it’s crazy how easily you can lose to a computer. these CPUs have difficult objectives and yet complete their sets and clear their cards within one turn??? it makes it so unfun because i lose immediately without even getting the opportunity to LOOK at my first dealt hand. i also never receive skips or wilds but they have 5 in their hands? there should be a setting to choose difficulty or they should be eased up on overall. i don’t even get to play because they win so quickly and the energy is AGONIZING to collect. why should it take 30 minutes to gain 5 volts to play ONE phase and not even a whole level? i can’t play because the CPUs win instantly and my energy drains in a second so i can’t even retry. so i will probably stop using the app and find another one. you guys really need to listen to your complaints and actually fix these problems if you want to keep ppl on your app.

Definitely rigged. Updated: instead of copying and pasting the same ole reply read your reviews and fix the issues.... Cards are definitely NOT random when you are getting dealt the exact same cards in the exact same step per level.....the bad reviews tell you what’s wrong fix the issues!!!! I love phase 10 as the card game but this app makes it horrible to play. It takes all the fun out of the game. You win and get to actually play the game at first but then you hit a certain level and it becomes impossible to win. I have seen the computer get everything on the first round, I have seen the computer lay down multiple discards, I’ve been skipped when there wasn’t a skip card etc..... the one that really blows my mind is the games within the game. For example they have a Halloween theme one right now.... the particular level I’m on literally goes the same way each time...I literally get dealt the exact same cards in each step and don’t win in the end every time. They always comment saying our developers are working or looking into this but nothing has obviously changed just look at all the reviews!!! The cards ARE NOT RANDOM, it is very much setup/rigged. It’s just a shame to ruin what is supposed to be a fun card game.

Addicting. Really enjoy this game. it should come with a warning label. Addicting. I like the blend of chance. Win some, lose some. Suggestion would make the wins not so easy. It seems it is feast or famine sometime. I either have a long run of no wild cards while my bot friends have tons or I have tons and they have none. The 5 pairs run is frustrating. It is an automatic win once you acquire. Aggravates me. Just fyi. I like to think my skill and logic win the games, not being set up once in awhile to keep me interested. The added side games are entertaining, but I do not like the competitive side games where I compete with others. I am frustrated when I am told it is over and I could have won. The “treasure” I want are a wild card or two. The “lightning” bolts are good but the wildcard would give me desire to play those. I applaud you for refilling the game tokens quickly. When I come back to the game, I have accrued enough to play for a satisfactory period of time. Have recommended this to many of my friends. Kudos for a well run game. No glitches seen.

Temporary star pass and who’s really the winner?. I happen to love the card game version of Phase 10. I downloaded the app thinking that it would be the same rules as in the card version. In the card version the person to complete the last phase is the winner. If there are two people who complete the last phase then the winner is the player with the fewest points. This is a big problem and causes for a lot of confusion. I feel as though the rules should be the same. After all the app version is indeed a virtual edition of the actual card game. There are things like this which discourage a user from playing. Also, I purchased the star pass while going through the journey. $4.99. Only to then realize that it was rendered useless in the journeys to follow. I do not appreciate paying for a “pass” which should be good for all areas where there is to be a pass used. Only to find out I spent my actual money to purchase a pass that has a expiration. Would have been helpful to know from the beginning, which I more than likely wouldn’t have purchased. Other than this it is a good game. Just would recommend paying attention when playing because this is NOT like the card version.

Fun game but…. I’m beginning to hate your game. The computer players only let you win the one on one or two on one. But it is near to impossible to beat the one on three or the bull level. I’ve played one level over 70 times and can never win. I’m about to wipe it away. I hate it because I love to play phase 10. The randomness on your game isn’t very random. Blah. Grrrrrr Game is very fun. Challenging and exciting, but it is set so the computer players get most of the wild cards and the stage where the bull head is can hardly ever be beat. I’ve played the same level on the game 58 times and can never win no matter how my strategy is. The other players get the best cards. The computer is set to win that level. I’ve played it so much that I’ve even noticed a pattern if you get close to winning it let’s the computer players get ahead. I’m getting very frustrated with this game and I’m beginning to dislike it. The three other players gang up on me and they get all the wild cards each game and I get none. What started as a fun game has turned out to be horrible. Cards are a game of chance and luck but the computer takes that aspect out and wins every time. Bad gaming.

Engage, Not Discourage. I really enjoy this game, but as many others have said in the reviews, the artificial players always get the cards they need to progress but The human do not. The cards obviously aren’t dealt randomly and you play the same round over and over again. Even when you are leading in a round and could win, the artificial players suddenly get every dealt card needed to win a hand and quickly catch up and surpass you to win the round. Meanwhile you are dealt a hand that couldn’t be random: you need 6 odd of one color and you’re dealt a hand of all even numbered cards. The only way I’ve found to make this game’s obvious stacked deck work for me is to be in the middle of my 4th or 5th attempt at a round and just stop using the app for 3-4 days. When I rejoin the round days later I’m magically dealt every card needed to complete every hand to finish the round. This is one of the few games I’ve continued to play on a regular basis for a long time and would like to continue, but the developers seem to have forgotten that the aim is to keep human players engaged, not frustrate us and drive us away to look for another game app.

Cool game but WAY TOO HARD. I love rummy it’s my favorite card game ever, but it’s so hard to enjoy a game if cards on your phone when your so upset about the actual card game. I understand that the game is suppose to be hard, but it’s at a level where it’s not even playable for the players and it’s not just how the game is hard but it’s also how hard it is to get prizes and earn special cards to use. I find that getting special cards costs way to much in diamonds. The main fact that makes this game upsetting is how hard it is the beat the robots, I find it much more easier to play with actual people than these bots. It’s also like the game is always against you, and yes I understand that it’s not suppose to be an easy game, but it’s not suppose to be an upsetting one either. I’m am just upset on how hard this game is. I enjoy rummy, it’s my favorite card game to play with family, but this game is way too hard to even enjoy. I really hope that this can be fixed to the point where levels don’t get too extreme and too difficult for new players wanting to enjoy a card game.

Nice Game good app bad everything else. The app looks nice. The game is fun. But what’s not great is the bots winning all the time. There are multiple occasions where I actually spent real money for a booster to help me win a game just to not even have a chance to use them because the all robots had a winning deals and I couldn’t even pull a card. So I lost the booster I paid $2 for and I had to start the whole challenge over. We should be able to keep in app purchases that we had no chance to use. Also sometimes I’ll watch the ad for a booster just to not get the booster. Once I watched an ad and had to answer my phone came back to the game just to not receive the booster. The x’s on the ads are too small. A lot of times I couldn’t get rid of an ad because the x to exit the ad was too small and kept taking me to the app store to download the app. I downloaded it and it still wouldn’t go away. So I had to close the game just to come back in and lose the booster. I’ve deleted this game twice already because it’s frustrating. I’m kinda glad it’s not as addictive as other games but if I delete it again I’m not coming back.

Great, if you like losing. This would be a perfect game for people that like to lose and like to waste money doing it!! Phase 10 is my favorite card game to play with my family so, my husband and I downloaded this app to play against each other, we even paid to get ads removed but we are both so disappointed! To play each other it cost coins but you have to pay for each phase instead of paying for 1 game (10 phases) and most games where you play against friends you don’t have to pay anything! When you play against the computers in journey mode it is so blatantly rigged against you that it’s not even fun. The computers almost always have just the right combo of cards dealt to them and will “go out” before you’ve even had a single turn, which if you’ve ever played the real card game you would know that is a rare occurrence but in this app it happens in about 1/3-1/2 of the hands you play. This is even more frustrating because you have to use 5 “lives” for every hand/phase you play against the computers and if you win or purchase boosters like wild cards or skip cards then the chances of the computers winning the match before you even get a turn goes up even more so you’re money is essentially being stolen. I’m deleting the app, I’ll stick to playing the physical card game.

Fun until it isn’t. I like the different phases not included in the real game I also like being able to play solo and I understand luck of the draw and that the developers want you to spend real money I get all that ....but I have seen the computer pick up my discard then discard it so the next computer player could play it and there have also been levels where i play 3 computer players and they skip me to the point that I never get a turn so I waste my energy and / or diamonds and I’m stuck playing til they win ......the other thing is when I play against real players it seems as though if they are more experienced they seem to get their phases right off and go out and or skip me into infinity while I get one turn if I’m lucky. I also wish you could just forfeit a game and cut your losses rather than having to keep playing til the computer wins. On some games where you have 7 phases I have been stuck on a phase til I am 3-4 phases behind while all the computer players keep moving up all the while I’m using my energy to play the same phase over and over on a game i know i can’t catch up on..... if the game is gonna cheat you when you don’t pay I sure don’t wanna invest real money into it ....just saying.

Fun game and good way to kill time!. I have been playing this game for about two months, and so far two things that would keep me more in to it if the developers could fix these things! The first thing is after battling the automated character(s) and completing all rounds making it to the Finnish line, if I happen to make it to the Finnish line with another automated character and I have the lowest score but wasn’t the one to lay down all of my cards but still completed the full course and again had the lowest score, why do I come in 2nd place? I completed all challenges have the lowest score when ranked at the end but come in second just because I wasn’t the one at the very end to lay down all of my cards still only having just one card in hand? I hope I’m not the only person seeing this! Okay moving on, I feel there should be some type of incentive if you do win the level and get to move up or level up, with like free energy to be able to keep playing. It’s 5 energy points to play a level maybe give back 5 or 10 if you make it to the Finnish line, maybe a different amount for whatever you ranking was first to 3rd placed. Thank you for your time!
