Skat App Reviews

There are too many basic(!) game situations where the AI is unacceptable bad!!

Hello, As an avid Skat player, I have bought, tested and reviewed this app the moment it was published. While the initial releases were utter disappointments, this product has rapidly matured, and the current version (8.0.3) is fast, stable, has all the features I had requested that were missing from the initial version, and even some I hadnt really missed. And all that has happened in less than a month. I am impressed. Hence the rewrite of my review. I figure that if Peter rewrites his program so swiftly and well, I owe it to him to reflect the progress in my review. Thanks, Peter, for a job well done, playing Skat on the iPhone is really lots of fun.

if you are a bridge player this is the ultimate other game to have!!!

A+

Too often the same games are repeated

Great game! Well done. Havent played Skat in a long time. This gets me back in the game & helps me to get the rust off before I play the game live again. Thanks for a well designed game.

I have this app on both my iPhone and iPad. Best skat app out there. Not perfect but usually sharp moves by the program. But dont expect replies to any questions. Support is non existent. Bottom line: well worth the small price.

I am quite disappointed with the latest version of Skat. Calculation the score takes for ever. This version is also very prone to frequent crashes. Please bring back the older version.

Online option would be great!

The graphics and gameplay are well polished. The computer players beat me most the time, but Im not so experienced. Since the last upgrade, the ai sometimes pauses a bit before selecting a card.

Good game for learning Skat. Would be better if it had a score keeper. But is a lot of fun!

This is definitely worth buying if you like Skat. The graphics are good, and the AI isnt so bad as to make it unplayable. It would be nice to have more English support, though--most of the preferences are in German, and, more importantly, there are no English cards, only French and German! I would also welcome some extra options (such as an option not to double losses). All in all, get this if you like the card game, you wont regret it.

as a German expat living in the US, I get my soccer fix via the internet, and finally can play Skat again, thanks to Peters app. And I am addicted...the app is user friendly, strong graphic, a simple interface. I just wish the players were stronger (lots of boneheaded moves), and you could shut games short, when the outcome is clear.

Not for serious Skat players. Skill level of the players is way too low. They make stupid mistakes that are quite frustrating.

Whoever likes to play Skat, will enjoy this. Nice App.

This app has good graphics and a very fast game play, only loading is a bit slow. The AI is getting better with each release. It still has some annoying flaws, but with the new feedback system I am sure Peter will analyze and fix those. Overall a well done application, but while like most AIs it is not a serious challenge for experienced players. Still it is good enough for hours of fun.

As mentioned by other reviews, your team player at times makes really stupid mistakes, as though you are the one playing against the other two. Very frustrating, the AI definitely needs some refinement. Itll give you more appreciation playing with other people. Other than that, its not too bad of a game with a nice set options to customize the rules.

Love this App and play it more than any other that I have.

I always wanted to learn Skat and just could not get it from various books. This app allows you to learn the basics and also try out various strategies by depleting the same hand. For example, I have become a much better player of Grand as I was able to try out a hand again.
