I don't usually review apps, but for those who care: this is the best way to train up your Set speed, since the main metric is your average speed per set across each game. With speed as your goal, you'll find yourself able to see Sets faster and faster, I think I've personally halved my avg time to find each set, over my playing this app over the past few weeks.
If you like Set, get this app!

Set is a great game, and I'm really happy that this app exists! Gameplay is generally smooth, and it brings home the joy of solitaire set. Here are some things they could improve: – Support for two players playing on the same device. Perhaps by including a "set" button – Support for two or more players over the Internet or Wi-Fi. – Improved stats. Four example, how many sets of three the same category to the same, one the same, or all different. This could thengo into a skill or difficulty rating. – A training module for extra difficult sets, or easy set swear you need to find them quickly. – Show how many cards or left the deck. – Possibly include a Set button even for solitaire. That way you would lose a point if you hit the button but don't have a set. – Even for solitaire scores, show how many sets were found as well as total points,not just average time per set
Don't waste your money.

I bought this app because I love the SET Game. It is a complete waste of money. You're only paying for half of the app up front. Once you buy it, you only get 3 playing modes. You have to separately buy the other 3 modes. Why not just raise the price of the app and make it like the rest of the paid apps?! The ad that pops up constantly is annoying too. So again I say, don't waste your money.
Great game, but...

Fun and challenging game. However, the graphics in the app are worse than horrible. I've played this game on the NY Times website, and the graphics are clean and classy, very much in keeping with the elegant simplicity of SET. In contrast, the app has a distracting tacky background, heinous cartoon characters and nauseating comments upon finishing a game. Oh well, it's still a great game, but the app could be vastly better.
Meh

Set is a great game, but the quality of this app is quite poor. A lack of customizable settings, regular touch response issues, and unintuitive user interface make this app lie far below what it could have been. If you really enjoy Set, you'll probably get something out of this, but if you're coming to Set for the first time, don't let this be your first impression.

Set is a great game that really stretches your brain. It's a great way to pass the time at the doctor's office or on the train. This app — while not sleek or modern in design — has the look and feel of playing with an actual deck of Set cards. I like that there are a few options for ways to play (Arcade and Marathon are my current favorites). I also like the feature that guarantees a Set.
Very close, but not quite there

First, for people who are familiar with the physical version: this is very close. I enjoy being able to play a quick solo game of SET whenever I want to. If you like the physical game, get this. But there is one really, really annoying misfeature in the game: apparently in an attempt to get you to play more, the game basically insults you at the end of every game. I just finished what I thought was quite a good game, and it said "Don't be discouraged, keep trying." In other words, what I thought was pretty good actually sucked, and I should feel bad. I really just want to enjoy the game without it telling me after every single game that I'm not good enough to meet whatever standard it has. If I could just shut that freaking insult thing up, I'd have given it five stars. Also, the "statistics" report has only your average time per move, not even things as basic as the number of games played. If I'd gotten it for (or even caring about) the statistics, I'd be very disappointed. But I didn't; I got it to play SET, and it does that very well. (except for the "you didn't do well enough" insult every game)
