Niggle (Oh Hell) App Reviews

If youre an adult, youll want to avoid this app completely, and delete it immediately if you already have it. Sounds you cant turn off, a cluttered display that adds nothing and a ridiculous new scoreboard ruin what was one of my top two games. I wont be keeping this one.

I really loved the old version of this game. The new user interface is childish and slow. Please Give back the old interface. I can hardly stand to play it.

As others have said, this was a great game gone bad. My only complaints from the previous version was that you dont have the option to bid "even" on the lowest three hands (1,2,3, and 3,2,1). And that you cant play to 13 (no trump on 13). Now that seems minor compared to this childish interface. The faces and voices are a distraction, but the shadow over the cards makes this game nearly unplayable for my old eyes. Went from 4.5 stars to a generous 2. Please give us the option to play with the old interface. Please and thank you.

The update ruined it. Its slow, clunky and now has stupid little faces. Bring back the one with no faces!

Except the game keeps crashing and everything is lost.

Now it crashes mid-game. Please fix. This is (was) the best oh hell game.

I was totally addicted to the previous version. It was simple classic and fast paced. The new versions interface is clunky and tries to be too cute. Its distracting and jerky as it plays cards and the layout is so much worse than the previous one. So disappointed I did the "upgrade". On the plus side. I can get all that time back by not playing this. Its all too annoying. I really loved the previous version.

I am sorry but I have to agree with the other reviews. I am sure that you put a lot of hard work into the new version but it is very buggy. Is there any chance for Christmas you could give us back the old version? Either way thanks for your efforts on making it a better game.

Thank you for the Dec 27 update. My favorite game is back.

Review of 3.2: This used be one of the best card game apps in the store. Then came 3.0 and it became one of the worst. Those foibles are chronicled below and in other reviews. Fortunately, the creators are listening to this feedback and the two updates have addressed many of the concerns. This latest update improves the visibility of the scores and the cards. This bumps my ranking from one star (3.0) and two stars (3.1) up to four stars! My one big holdout for five stars is the ability to make the hands straight instead of curved. Perhaps this can be an option in the settings. Another small complaint is that with the score board in the corner, there is no longer a reminder of what round is being played during the hand. Perhaps if the controls were moved to a row at the bottom there could be room for this. (Putting controls at the bottom of the screen is a good idea anyway considering the screen sizes of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus). Finally, it would be nice to have a button to access the settings from the score screen. Overall, this latest update does the trick and I can once again recommend buying this game. Thanks for making it good again. Review of 3.1: This update addresses some of the concerns that were raised about 3.0. There is a way to get rid of the childish faces. Turning off the sound really turns off the sound. It is still difficult to see the cards and scores. It was much better when the hands were straight rather than curved. It would also be better if the scores were against a better background contrast. My rating is going up from 1 star to 2. Bringing back the old interface would rate 5 stars. Review of 3.0: First I was surprised. When I opened the app, nothing looked familiar. It looked like a childs game. Then I was confused. All the controls had been moved around. Then I was embarrassed. My phone was muted. So was the sound button on the app. But childish voices still screamed when I started a game. Finally I was frustrated. From the curved hand to the scores being low contrast and all over the screen, the game was largely unplayable. The new version belongs in the same pile as Windows 8 and the New Coke (remember that?). Please bring the old version back. Or at least make "classic view" an option. And make the "sound off" button actually turn off the sound. It was a great app.

This previously highly enjoyable game has been junked up with stupid little faces and a confusing layout of cards that makes the whole thing a LOT less fun to play. What were the developers thinking? Big mistake.

I like the set up of this game and how it plays but for some reason it keeps freezing or kicking me out of the app. I have played this on two different devices and the same thing has happened. If this problem can be fixed that would be great!

Was a great game that after update crashed every game. They fixed that with this update. Now it freezes every game.

I played this game and really enjoyed it and then, as happens often, they updated and I cant even finish or complete a game without it crashing. If it were possible to give half stars I would for this game. Watch out before you buy.

Cannot complete a game without it crashing. Very frustrated. I feel like I have completely wasted my money on this app.

I complimented the program too soon. It was working OK and then....CRASHED repeatedly. Sean if you still have the old version put it back in the app store so I can play the version that actually worked.

This game could be lots of fun, but it constantly crashes. PLEASE fix it! Could be a great game.

I love this game! I find the ability to fine tune the rules is a huge differentiator when trying to replicate your own version of how this game is played. One rule option I would like them to add is the following: When an Ace appears as the Trump card, this means there is No Trump. The bidding and the game play is a little different when there are no trumps and I feel it adds a little variety. Regardless, this game is one of the few games that I choose to play over and over again. Thank you! ps. - Now if you would just PLEASE change the name to "Oh Hell" and get rid of the N-word altogether! Please!

As others have said, this used to be a fantastic game. However , now the app constantly crashes. Wait until there is an update before purchasing.

This game used to be great until May of 2015 when it started to crash every time I play it.
