Our Expert Score
Smartpref is a niche app that serves its purpose excellently. For fans of the Russian card game Preference (Pref), this is a lightweight and efficient way to practice. The interface is utilitarian—don't expect high-end 3D graphics or cinematic music. Instead, it focuses on the logic of the game.
The AI is the standout feature; it's designed to simulate the varied skill levels of human players, from the overly cautious to the high-stakes gamblers. It's an excellent tool for learning the complex scoring and bidding systems of the game. If you aren't already a fan of Pref, the app might not win you over, but for the community, it’s a vital and well-made mobile companion.

Tips & Walkthrough
In the bidding phase, be mindful of your 'whist' potential. Overbidding is a common mistake for beginners; sometimes it is better to pass and let others take the risk.
Gameplays
Review your game history to see where your bidding went wrong. The app tracks every hand, providing a valuable feedback loop for improvement.

Best ever
Sun Nov 14 2021 lkilkmI am Russian and live in the US. I love playing it. It keeps your memory up and fun to play. I would like to have an option that allows you to play the hand again but the computer plays instead of you, so you can see where you made a mistake. But overall it’s a great game with very decent partners
Best game
Mon Jan 08 2024 Pref fanExcellent card game that challenges your brain and memory. Opponents seem to be more realistic players (some even make “mistakes “ sometimes). The only suggestion is to have a choice to pick different levels of opponents - easy to hard- to help progress the player’s skills .
Finally a simple and perfect app for pref
Wed Feb 19 2020 ArlikanI am Russian living in US and don’t get to play pref often, but this app keeps me tuned, so when I get a chance to play with friends I never lose. Thank you for keeping the heritage alive!
The only preferans app worth paying for
Fri Nov 26 2021 ohiasI've tried all preferans apps in app store and this is the only one worth it.
Thanks for this game!
Mon Jan 27 2020 All4RakeI tried several Preferance games one this one is by far closest to the real thing
Ok to kill time
Fri Jan 03 2020 borvil2000Nice interface, except the need to wait for player turn to announce final outcome. Nice touch with statistics. The problem is with random generators, not a developer fault - too many 8, 9 and 10s rounds, 4 on 4 deals, no matter what random generator was chosen. And finally AI is not as good as “Marriage”.
Great algorithms
Tue Apr 13 2021 wildalchyNicely done! Conventions and random generations algorithm works great. One thing that bothers me - privacy. How can i opt-out from personal data collection?
Game is cheating
Wed Sep 25 2019 PutinMudakAfter latest updates, the game started to cheat on the pass games. No matter what cards you have in hand, computer just plays the optimum scenario against you. What a disappointment! Will look for a honest version of Preferans somewhere else.
