Pros and cons of Card Shark Collection™ app for iPhone and iPad

Card Shark Collection™ app good for

some bugs when going back to a game after being idle, AI a bit unequal from games to games, but this game is still in my list after trying many other card games.

Since my retirement I have devoted lots of time to mind challenging games. This must be the, or one of, best suites of games. Thank you

The most complete solitaire game in the app store - especially for this price!   

And the support is mainly in the form of updates with new games, better GUI, etc. Nothing to complain about.

This app is great any game you would want to play is here!!love it!!!

I have been using this app for a couple of years. Just recently discovered the speed match game. Love it! Its like my own personal challenge to see if I can beat my own score. Would like to see the Euchre game with Canadian rules added.

Some bad moments

Cards are moved instead of selected, making gameplay impossible iPhone 6S with iOS 9.

Horrible interface. Cards are hard to read. Very juvenile game play. This is one of those games where you wish you could get a refund. Dont know why so many high ratings, it is hard on the eyes, archaic and very poor in graphics. Not even an auto drop if you touch a card to add it to a stack, you have to manually move the cards in most games. There are better solitaire games out there. Rarely write reviews but this game is so poor I had to add my two cents for what its worth. It is nice to have so many games in one bundle, but graphics and game play need a lot of improvement to make it worth more stars.

On the plus side, one gets a large number of games. Individual games like solitaire are great, but as others have pointed out, multiplayer games are supported by very poor AI, making your opponents "dumb" and leaving the game unchallenging and uninteresting.

Try beating the "opponent". Its ridiculous how it unfairly plays against you. I want my money back.

Overall as a basic card game app it is mediocre. There are a number of small annoying little issues with this app. The instructions for learning new games are not very good, and it might sound silly but the action of throwing a card into play is really bad. One thing I found particularly frustration is no form of replay. When I am trying to learn a new game there are often times when I lose a hand. There is no way to review that hand, look again at all the cards in play, and understand how you won or lost the play.
