No multiplayer
Thu Jul 26 2018 cab5duI love this game. So much so that I would love to play with friends and family members and my lover. Or I’d even like to play with people I’m not related to or perhaps people I don’t know, maybe people I wouldn’t even like in real life. I would like to play online cards with them though. There is an online option but you have to be on the same wifi as your opponents, and if we’re on the same wifi, then we’re in the same house and in that case, I’d pull out my non-digital game of Wizard. No sense in everyone running down their batteries and tying up their phones with the app version if I have the real thing. Plus, people need their phones to be able to check Instagram in between every turn. You know, just in case they miss an important post or forgot how many likes they were up to on their most recent post of their Wizard hand. Anyhow, wish I had noticed before buying this app. Doesn’t seem like they plan on updating that feature anytime soon based on the past 7 years worth of reviews.
Would be 5 stars with 2 changes
Sat Feb 17 2024 jeneschulzYou can play this without being on the same wifi network, so that is wonderful. Plays just like the real game. Two changes would help:
1. Allow orientation to change to landscape if players turn their phone to make it easier to see your hand.
2. Enable this app for download on a windows computer (not just Apple) so we could play without straining our eyes.
Thank you for making this. It’s our family’s favorite card game!
Excellent card game
Sun Sep 03 2023 WRS15743I’ve tried a lot of solo card games, and this one is one of the best. It plays really well in every way. I like that you can adjust a lot of settings if you want. And I love that it saves progress at all times if you quit the app. That makes it perfect if you only have a minute or two.
The AI is good, the file size is small, and it’s good on battery. I appreciate the fair premium price with no ads, IAPs or subs.
I’ll be playing this a lot. It’s easy to learn but there’s definitely a strategy. It’s challenging but not frustrating. I’m really enjoying it. Thank you developer!
So disappointed
Mon May 25 2020 djgood2goThey should refund our money or fix the game. Four of us purchased the game so we could play during social distancing. It started out fun. But we could never finish a game without someone being disconnected and not about to reconnect to the game or their screen locked and couldn’t reconnect. We would start over and get a few hands in before it failed again. No trouble shooting help, no things to do to optimize the game for network play. No way to identify why it could not rejoin. No indication why the player was disconnected. Four players $16 bucks, no enjoyment.
Fix the game or refund people’s money. Don’t buy this game until they fix it or give it away for free. It’s worthless if you can’t play a full game.
Spoke in error….update my rating !
Fri Jan 28 2022 cloudflierApologies galore… couldn’t get to the rules screen on my new device to begin with ‘. The user indeed can specify the appropriate rules to make competition as tough as desired. So sorry …I hope the first review can be overwritten. The only star missing would be to make it playable live across family in other states…
Old but good
Mon Dec 11 2023 ERICKSONSTUDI love Wizard, and although this app is clearly outdated and runs like it’s made for iPhone 4, this app feels just like a real Wizard game. The CPUs are somewhat predictable but vary in skill, just like a real game. The only downfall is the online aspect of the game, which could benefit from being able to actually play against real people. You can change house rules and scoring, and the game runs smooth.
Very nice app
Thu Jul 28 2022 john16791I was hesitant about buying this app because of the mixed reviews, but after about a week of playing it a ton (in single-player mode) I can say it is works well, is stable, and provides a fun and solid gameplay experience. I have the feeling the earlier versions may not have been as well quality-controlled, but as of mid 2022 it’s a app great and a really enjoyable game.
Thanks for adding a network version
Sun May 09 2021 jujubellamaWe love Wizard, and love this internet version! I play it all the time, and have definitely improved my skill at playing the game by using this app. It’s an added bonus that now you can create a networked game with up to 4 players. Great way to play with friends everywhere during the pandemic.
