Five Suits Connected 4+

May need work again

Every time I have played this game, I have opted to play a full, 11-round game, with four players—three computer and one human (me). And up until today (1/8/19), I always—yes, always—got through the entire game with no problems. But earlier today, after I had played two games in full, I went to play a third one, and before it was even halfway over (I don’t remember exactly when now), the app shut down automatically. I reopened the app and had to start over, and it again shut down at some point before the halfway point. The latter two things happened again, after which I gave up. In each of these cases, I was very upset. When I purchase an app such as this one, I plan to always have it work right at all times no matter what, and don’t want to do any thinking about it crashing after a certain amount of time. So please fix the bug that keeps making this app quit.

Update 1/11/2019: Please download version 1.34 from the App Store and let me know if the issues persist. I believe that this update should address the issues you’ve been seeing. Thank you!

Thank you for providing the information on these crashes. If possible, could you reach out to me at FiveCrownsApp@gmail.com and provide detail as to what your last action was before triggering the crash (e.g., moving cards around via drag and drop) so I can replicate and fix the bug? In the meantime, I will also try to to replicate the problem and address on my end. Thank you for your support!

Buggy but still very fun!!!

I really love this game, but the app is a little buggy. For about a month I had a ghost match that was highlighted in green as if it was my turn to play, but each time I clicked on it it brought me to a different (and completed) match. That issue disappeared in the last couple of days. More frequently / more than half the time, it will switch random matches that I have started with normal scoring rules to make them alternate scoring rules. (This is a real bummer to me as I actively dislike using the new / bonus system and prefer the classic gameplay.) Another reoccurring glitch is that it will abruptly end my turn when I’m in the middle of it by either reverting my hand back to the way it was when the turn started and switching to my opponent’s turn or by discarding something random from my hand and switching to my opponent’s turn. (This doesn’t happen super often, but I’ve experienced it about four times in about 150 matches.) Lastly, however you set up the notification settings when you install the app seem to be unchangeable afterwards. (My mom had notifications on when she installed it, and she cannot figure out how to turn them off. (She works in IT.) I had notifications off when I started it, and I have not figured out a way to turn them on. (I never hear when it’s my turn unless I’m actively in the app.) Other than those glitches, I love this app, and I really love this game!!!

Covid Relief

During the last year I have played Five Suits Connected with another couple every night at 6:30! For several weeks, it was the only event on my calendar! As life has started getting back to “normal”, we are missing playing some nights, but the game really helped our loneliness during the lockdown.
We have been playing the box card game, Five Crowns, for almost 20 years!! Four of us travelled to all 48 contiguous states over 10 years, playing the game in each state! And before Covid we played together twice a week! Your online version helped us stay connected & continue our addiction 😳
