Description

iPlayingCards (Lite) Version 3.4 – A 'virtual' deck of cards for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. (NOTE: Use this App to play card games with other people - just like a 'real' deck; but it is NOT a 'game-playing' program.) Play cards on one or multiple devices (using Game Center, Local WiFi or Bluetooth - Bluetooth works on airplanes). Cards move with the touch of a finger. When playing with a shared device, use four hidden hands – a hand become visible only when the device is tilted on its side facing that direction. When playing with multiple devices, each device can display a different hand. Many features – shuffling, dealing, cutting, flipping, sorting, etc.. Eight classic decks for playing games such as Poker, Sixty-Six, Piquet, Belote, Jass, Durak, Scopa, Mus, Five Hundred, Pinochle, Bezique or Canasta. Fast set-up of 21 different games (including those and Black Jack, Bridge, Crazy Eights, Gin, Go Fish, Hearts, Oh Hell!, Rummy and War). In this Lite Version, the deck can be automatically shuffled into only six predetermined random decks. An In-App Purchase upgrade, available for a small fee from the iTunes App Store, has unlimited random shuffling. (Manual rearranging of the cards in this Lite Version is possible for those unable to purchase the full version.) Many features: Connect multiple iPhones, iPads or iPod touches together using Game Center (anywhere on Earth) or Local WiFi or Bluetooth (within 30 feet). Move cards and piles anywhere on the screen/table - move a card with one-touch moves - flip a card with a tap - rotate a card with a two-tap move - move a card lower in the deck with a reverse-tap - move and spread piles with two-touch moves - rotate and flip piles with a double tap Four hidden hands - each hand becomes visible when device is tilted onto a side - only the person on that side can see that hand - sort hands by suits/rank, right/left, SHDC/SHCD, ace high/low, - show the number of cards in each hidden hand - limit the hands that other connected devices can show The deck - adjust the size of the cards on the table from small to big - adjust the size of the cards in each hand separately - add 1 or 2 Jokers - pick any photo from your Photo Album for the back of the cards - 9 classic decks - 24, 32, 36, 40, 43, 48, 64 or 104 cards Automatic dealing - deal to 1, 2, 3 or 4 players or to an adjacent pile - deal from 1 to 13 cards to 1-4 players, or 26 to 2 players - deal face up or face down - deal cascaded or stacked - advance the dealer on each shuffle Quick set-up of the deck, the deal and the hands for 21 different games Animated random shuffling (see Lite Version limitation above) Animated cut card feature Drawing region on screens to write notes Please contact us with any questions, comments or suggestions.

  • Total waste of time

    The five star reviews must be from the developer, this was a waste of about 2 hours trying to figure out how to hide the opponents cards, good idea but doesn’t work
  • Very frustrating

    The app will crashed and had difficulty with two players. No matter what settings we selected the app kept reverting to default settings when tried to play. Don't waste your time.
  • Connects multiple devices

    This is ‘simply’ a deck of cards - but when multiple devices are connected together it advances any card game to a new level. It shuffles and deals and then lets you move the cards around the table or into your hand. It’s better than a real deck because you can play long distance using the Game Center or anywhere in the room using bluetooth. There is also a tilt mode that is ok.

    Grate app. Deleted it because it was old. Really good. Problem is that the app will never know what game your playing like war and stuff. Still great. Also a joke from the directions symbol, Looks like something from Apple maps. I played ugly games like baby rpggggggggg and stuff like that
  • Almost a Five...

    It would be a five if there were a chip counter or something of the sort and maybe adding a few card designs wouldn't hurt.
  • Bluetooth hangs on 5s

  • Great playing card game.

    This app is awesome. It is completely open ended so you can play any game. Think of it as a digital deck of cards. The game doesn't play itself, you need players to play. This app makes long distance play or places that would blow cards away, able to be played. As for the open ended part: this app only supplies the cards. The rest is up to the players to make rules and play the game. The hardest part (dealing) can be preset, and it even can organize your cards for you! What else could you ask for before telling the game to play itself? Overall...5/5. Great, open ended app.
  • For groups only

    I had hoped to play Five Hundred against three computer players, but nothing doing. To play, I would need to find three other people to log in. Even then, this app doesn't conduct the game (no bidding, for example).

    Good implementation. Animations could be faster and could use some sound effects. Suggestion: maybe settings could be at start screen instead of in a settings button.
