Reviews: What People Think About Tichu

Rating: 4/5
I have played this game for thousands of hours. It is, in my opinion, the best one available. However, I would greatly appreciate it if the developers could stop the app from spamming achievements. It causes crashes and is generally annoying.
Secondly, when playing on the hardest difficulty, as your rating goes above 1750, the opponents seem to cheat more, creating a disturbing amount of bombs. The last thing I'll mention is that you can NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER trust your partner with the Phoenix. They will use it in the worst possible way almost every time. Other than my whining above, this is a perfect game.

The game of Tichu is amazing! This app leaves much to be desired. Almost daily the app glitches and will just crash repeatedly when I try to play. Normally if I close it a couple times it then works but it seems to be getting worse. I had to uninstall and reinstall it a few days ago to get it to work for me, even restarting my phone would not fix it.
The app has not been updated in 5 years, so who the F@&$ knows why it just prompted me to give a review. Please update!!!!!!
Trying to ply online with friends almost never works.
The computer intelligence is a bad combination of card counters and complete idiots. There are little nonsensical rules they follow that make my partner screw me over in ways that make no sense. Like playing the 1 late in a hand after they have seen the opponent play the card they gave, they always still ask for the card anyway. But with the computer intelligence set to expert it is clear as each hand comes to a close that the computers have counted the cards perfectly, or even know who has what cards.
I would give it less than 3 stars but unfortunately I think it is the best Tichu app out there.

I have friends that play Tichu regularly and I’ve been left out since I don’t know how to play and they’ve been far ahead in strategy. They taught me how to play recently, but I struggled with learning the right strategy.
This app has helped with that immensely. Being able to adjust your opponents and try different partners has been outstanding for learning the game. It’s greatly improved my game!
The partner can make some pretty bonehead moves sometimes (like taking a trick from you when you’ve called Tichu and clearly heading out). But, then again, I make some bone head moves as well.
One wish - sometimes I hit Call Tichu and then play my cards, forgetting to hit ‘OK’ to confirm. I wish it would either prevent play until you hit okay or allow you to back up a round and replay.
