Definitely not like a real game

To start there is a lot of really cool features to this app, enjoy the statistics, speed of play, live play & rankings it provides. The big drawback to me is that they keep track of what you are doing……meaning that if you exit too many games early they suspend you for a period of time (from one minute to one day in my experience). Which leads me to wonder if they’re keeping track of that, what else are they tracking to control your experience which is why to me it’s not a real game. I enjoy playing euchre against others & I understand that it’s not always going to go my way but I play on multiple apps & this one is the only one that I experienced long streaks of poor luck. I have gone several games without the opportunity to make a trump call in multiple occasions, losing most games by a score of 10 to 2 or something similar. Most hands consisting of 3-4 cards 9-Q with all four suits represented. Never ever have I experienced anything similar on another app or in real life & I have been playing euchre for 40 years with friends & family. Now I don’t know if this is intentional (based on tracking your interactions, and they are tracking you. Or if it’s just a bad algorithm….which is possible) but it’s a shame……my advice is buyer beware.

Here’s how you can tell who is going to win

First of all ads are annoying. It used to be you would close the ad by right clicking the “x” in the top right. Then they upgraded is so now you have to click an “x” in the left hand corner then click an “x” in the right hand corner. Second of all, before you start playing, look at everyone’s score. You can almost always bet whoever has the highest score will be the team that wins. Nothing to do with skill, that team just gets the better cards every time. I’ve played this app for a long time and watched this closely. I would say 95% of the time this is true. Also, at some point the AI will determine you’re going to lose. Buckle up buddy…you’ll lose 10+ games or so and drive your score way down. Then magically, it likes you and you can no wrong for 10 games. Back and forth, back and forth. Statistically baloney, I’ve played a ton of Euchre in my lifetime, and I’ve never seen such dramatically long winning or losing streaks. Lastly, if you’ve ever played real Euchre players you know this game is fast. Boom, boom, boom…game over. You should be able to boot a person right away if they don’t play. Guaranteed every game there’s ALWAYS one guy who takes forever to play then either leaves or you have to boot him.

Game needs many simple fixes

The adds are frequent and annoying, but other free euchre games are worse. The format of the gameplay is good and pace (ads not withstanding) good too, but there are several things that are extremely annoying, namely: - the lack of randomness in hands dealt. You will see the slight variations on the same hand for 4 hands in a row quite frequently. The randomness of the shuffles is highly questionable. There are also long runs of hands favoring one team or another that you just don’t get in real life. - lack of options, e.g. ‘ace no face’ re-deals - the quality of plays for the AI players. Related, it would be nice to be able to see a recap of the 5 tricks to verify if the other players are playing of the points properly. Here are 2 actual examples of the AI in the game: 1) my AI partner orders up trump to the other team. We go down two tricks. In the third trick my partner cannot follow suit, but instead of throwing a trump card, he throws off and we lose the third trick (because I then had to follow suit) and we get euchred. With the trump cards we both had in our hands, we could have easily won the 3 tricks if he would have thrown a trump card. 2) My partner, as the 4th player, trumps my winning Ace despite having a non-trump card in hand. We go on to loose 3-2.

Frustrating

Play this game if you want to lose 90% of the time. I’ve been keeping track of the trump cards the other teams consistently gets and most of the time they will call trump and will have 5+ trump cards and usually those are the highest cards. The amount of times a Joker will come up as the card they turn over is higher than you will normally see in a game. It is rare they will turn over trump on their deal. It definitely seems weighted to the other team and I don’t care what the app developer’s response is, those who play Euchre know that nobody has good luck streaks like they do in this game. The other part that I really find frustrating is my partner will call trump and won’t have the right or the left bower and doesn’t have enough trump so we don’t get euchered. So often I will have no Trump when my partner calls it. While the other team seems to have a higher than average amount of good luck when they deal, I generally get a hand with all the suits or 3 of the suits and I’ll turn up the 4th suit. I also tend to get a lot of 9’s and 10’s. I’m talking several times in a game. When you have losing streaks of 5-10 games that you lose by 5 or more points you have to believe the game is rigged. I love playing Euchre but this game is very frustrating. So if you like playing to lose 90% of the time this game is for you.

Full size pop up ads not authors fault

Edited: I defended this program a few years ago. Unfortunately now they force a 35 second ad halfway through the game that you have to stop the game and twiddle your thumbs while it plays out. It went from a game I enjoyed to kill some time with to a game I don’t want to play because of the ads. Not going to pay to avoid them either. Greed appears to have taken over for the developer. Old review: I have been playing this game for a long time. When the full screen popups started I contacted the authors support site and within 2 hours they had contacted me back advising that they had blocked the advertising network that was shoving out the full size screen ads and that they are in the process of changing their ad provider to eliminate that kind of stuff from happening again. You get more done by contacting support than just writing a bad review. This game is an excellent basic version of euchre. Yes, the AI does make some interesting moves like going alone with hardly anything, but it's not like it happens all the time. I would like to see some additional switches like STD or partners best but compared to other euchre games I have downloaded this one is solid and worth your time, either the free version or the paid version.

Definitely rigged

For one, I have my partner set up to be “conservative” when it comes to calling trump, yet they will still call trump without having either the right or left bower, maybe two lower cards from the suit they called trump for, then sure enough we get trumped by our opponent. No one does that in a real game unless they have no clue what they’re doing! Also, can’t tell you how many times the other team goes alone and wins in the very first hand. I don’t know why it does this, but when I start a new game I’d say about 1 out of every 3 or 4 games the opponent will start by going alone. And they usually win the hand too. Just happens too often to be a coincidence. Speaking of going alone, if you’re up significantly, the opponent will almost ALWAYS go alone and catch up to you. I don’t understand why the cards can’t be just dealt as random, not sure what the developer gets out of rigging the game but you can see by the reviews that they definitely do. Still gave two stars cuz even though it’s frustrating when they’re clearly rigging the games I still enjoy playing it at times and not every game goes that way. But then it happens and I get frustrated and close the game.

Menace

Read Flyinjeep’s review! It’s the same way for me! Don’t understand why he gave it a “5 star” rating though? I consider myself as good a euchre player as you will find as I have the reputation and paid my way through college playing it, including $100/game, $50/set! But as Flyinjeep said, the deals cannot be random as I have played days with 4 suited hands every deal! I’ve never dealt that many bad hands in my life! Try stopping a loner or setting someone with hands like that! Also, I have told the developers that in the single game format, the players are the the stupidest players in the world and no one would learn how to play the game correctly from them! I told them they should develop their game from the book of Hoyle which explains the basics of euchre! I have a partner in singles called Shark who is everything but! He will pass almost all the time, leads Aces when he has both Jacks in trump, get set because he gets his Aces trumped (It’s like playing 3 against 1), will not lead trump for you when you make trump, even though he has even the right bower, makes trump when he shouldn’t and doesn’t when he should! The other players are just as stupid! Please, please redevelop you’re app to play sensibly for everybody’s sake! You have the resources to do this, use them!!!

LOVE the App, but HATE HATE HATE the ADS!

So, I probably use this app every single day. I love the layout of this app, and it is so addicting. The layout is so simple and easy to work. The app is fast and is doesn’t glitch often at all. I love all the different settings you can choose for your type of game. I don’t know 100% if it’s this app I love because I am just a little bias because I just love euchre, but lately I’ve been upset with this app. And the advertisements are why. I HATE HOW MANY ADVERTISEMENTS SHOW UP. Literally if your in a single player game (yourself against computers), there is a REQUIRED VIDEO 5-10 second advertisement each time your score or your opponents score is around 5-7 points, and after every game is over, THERE IS ANOTHER REQUIRED AD. It is so irritating. This is the same thing that happens for multiply player too. I play at least once a day when I’m relaxing or taking a break, and I just can’t stand the advertisements. I just went to check how much it would be to pay for the app without the advertisements and it was $20!!!!! That is WAY TOO COSTLY TO PAY FOR AN APP WITHOUT ADS! I was very upset, and so now I am looking into other apps that may have cheaper options for opting out of euchre without advertisements....
