Fix it. Crashes often.

Needs update. Crashes daily in mid game. Otherwise it’s a great hard game to play. Please update.
solid implementation of excellent game

While I own the physical version of Mr Jack Pocket, I can't always find someone to play. This is even more portable and easier to set up, incorporates an excellent AI, and contains a fun Blitz (timed) mode. Even with all this, can you justify owning both the physical and iOS versions? Ask yourself this: would a chess player own both a physical board and software versions of the game? Given the superb quality of this app, the answer for me is a clear Yes. For those who haven't played before, there a brief and useful tutorial that scales nicely. I wish the developer cleaned up a few typos -- otherwise, this is an perfect purchase for anyone interested in quick logic deduction games.
Rude and has a bug

When you rotate a tile, it sometimes spins back to its original orientation. When it did this, I canceled the game. It then called me a coward for bailing out. They need to fix this bug and learn some manners.
AI concern

Whether the difficulty is in easy or hard the AI seems to play the exact same way. If the game is going to offer difficulty levels, it would be nice if they meant something. Other than that it is an awesome game.
Can't play the game

It seems the app isn't compatible with iOS 8. The game won't even launch.
My favorite game

I waited and waited to try this. And it is wonderful and so well-done. Every little detail of the game works--the music, atmosphere, graphics, AI--really, beyond compare. You won't regret buying this--it's the perfect game for thinking people.
Solid Work. Great Tutorials. Still Lacking.

This is how a game needs to be implemented on the iOS. The mini-tutorials are excellent and should be included in all games to give some education into basic tactics related to that particular game. The features included add interest and much repeatability, including blitz mode, new character tiles, and multiplayer. However, this game does not allow for online multiplayer (on an iPhone!), so I cannot in good conscience give this game five stars until then. There is a visual bug when one side collects a large number of suspect cards. Also, allowing easier tile rotation would be appreciated.
So good that I also want the real game

What a perfect game. Totally worth $6. I have only two problems- 1) some animations are much too slow, even w the fast option selected; 2) blitz mode. Seriously? You don't have any time to think - it might as well be random.
