Spite & Malice App Reviews

Love the game, but when trying to play on an iPhone 6, Im totally locked out of playing. Game has frozen and will not restart without hard reset of the phone. This has not been corrected despite multiple updates to iOS 9.

Selling a higher level of difficulty, but its no harder that the previous free level of difficulty.

Love the game but since update game continuously freezes. You have to reboot phone to unfreeze. Reported issue 90 days ago and still no improvement.

I play all the time. Am unhappy that I lost the extra version. When I try to use it, I have to pay again.

I love this game. What I dont like is that I paid for the ad-free version and suddenly there are ads that I have to sit through between each game. Please get rid of the ads. Thanks.

This is a fun game but this app crashes constantly which requires a phone reboot. I contacted customer support-ha! They blamed Game Center. No! I play other apps thru GC with no problem. Ive looked into this problem by searching online and have found MANY others whove had the same response from this apps support-ha! They know about the freezing and ignore it. Dont pay them!

I have played this game at least a hundred times. It is a fairly short game, making it the perfect thing to go with that 10 minute coffee break. I have never experienced any issues with the game on my iPad3 or my iPhone 6s, both running the latest OS.

and on to continue to play Peer to Peer!

One of my all time go to games. Great to pass the time and fun play

Play about ten games and it freezes and the only way to continue play is to hard reboot. I use iPad and iPhone and dont know if this problem is caused by the OS or not but it should be fixed because there are a few Apple devices out there. I wouldnt mind so much if the game was lousy but its a lot of fun. Please fix the problem.

I did it so you don’t have to: on a whim, I decided to play each level (including the value-added Spiteful) to 200 wins, a total of 1,047 games overall. My conclusion, as others have suggested, is that Spite & Malice cheats: Easy: 200 wins, 51 loses. Medium: 200 wins, 40 loses. Hard: 200 wins, 84 loses. Spiteful: 200 wins, 72 loses. Some trends emerged that I confirmed which others have noted. The computer AI is not very smart on its own, for example building a stack up to a Jack on which I can discard my Queen and win the game, even though it had a playable Queen showing. That alone is discouraging, as it shows you are not competing against even a mediocre player, but something that is intentionally stupid. This behavior seemed even more pronounced at the Spiteful level. But, the greatest irritation was the abnormal distribution of cards. Desperately need a 7? You won’t get it, not until the AI successfully ruins your run with a 7 of its own…then you’ll get a half-dozen 7s in a row. Or 8 Queens, one after another after another. I don’t know how many decks are supposedly involved in the distribution pile, but the cards are obviously not randomly shuffled and distributed in strict order. That is, it determines what cards you will receive. For this game to survive its initial entertainment value, it needs a true random generated deck and faithful distribution, with a focus on making the AI more accountable and scheming. Once I realized it was truly a game of chance, the competitive excitement disappeared. I might as well be pulling a slots lever and hoping for all those 7s to show up…

Since last update I cant get the game to do multi player. Help!

I played this when I was younger in my teens ad still love it in my late sixties!!!

Have been playing this game for years but lately its freezing up for days. I get a couple of rounds of playing and then the games freeze for at least 2 days. Getting ready to delete this game unless it gets fixed soon. This has been going on for much too long

I wrote the review > a year ago and nothings changed. Its phoney card playing and they are lazy programmers. Run on cards. It isnt real. Dont support them! Old review: The way the cards in this game are dealt is rigged and not random and it takes all the fun out of playing the game. The dealer hand - almost every game has discard runs of 10 cards or more at a time. that doesnt happen in the real life game. I have written to them many times and never fixed this problem. its not worth buying or playing.

This game is terrible slow to play against online opponents. The pseudo random number generator is worse on this game than it is on many others. Its also terribly boring, probably because of the slow play created by the ridiculous number generator.

I never played this game before but it is interesting and fun and challenging! Mechanically, it plays well.

I loved playing this game until the last update, now it freezes every third hand. I have to power down my phone and then turn it back on to get it to play. But that only works for three hands and then it freezes and I have to power off again. Very frustrating. Please fix this bug
