SET® Mania for Negative User Reviews

Marathon does not registerWe can not get the scoring to save on the achievements for the marathon with advanced deck. We have finished the hand with a 1 and 2 star hands..Version: 1.8

In-app purchases don't work...I also didn't think the graphics were great, but I enjoyed the game so I ignored them. Moving on from that, I decided to try the in-app purchases, but they didn't work. I uninstalled the app, installed it again, tried again. It didn't work. I uninstalled the app, shut down my phone, turned it on again, installed the app, tried again...it still didn't work. It's hard to say this app is functional. I think proper testing should've been done before releasing it. This is no way to leave customers...up the creek... :/.Version: 1.5

Great Game - Hideous InterfacePlease make a simple, ‘clean’ version of this game. It’s garish..Version: 1.8

Great card game, not the best appI was hoping you could play against other people or a robot. Or at least go through a decent sized deck of cards. I get through a round in like 20 seconds. I was just expecting better from a paid app..Version: 1.8

Warning: Not a multiplayer Game!!!Title says it all: the makers of set have a multiplayer version for the iPad, but this iPhone / iPod version won’t do that, even if you have a screen that’s big enough! So annoying! Don’t waste your money; set is far less interesting with only one person!.Version: 1.7

Weird messages at end of gameLike another reviewer, I find the messages at the end of each game off-putting. I just finished a game, ending with a new high score, and at the top there was a banner that said "Don't be discouraged, try again." I'd rather have no message at all than these "encouraging" messages. (I looked in the game's settings to see if there was a way to turn that off, but the settings area is pretty bare-bones and there was nothing about this there.).Version: 1.8

Does anyone own the rights to this app? Change it!Love the card game. Love the game as it appears in the app. Hate hate hate the discouraging messages at the end of play. I end each game feeling like an idiot. And a lot of my friends are too dumb even to play the game lol — yet I end up feeling like a pathetic loser. I think I did pretty well and the app tells me “Don’t give up!” I have a good time playing and the app tells me “Persevere and get it done!” like I just slogged through some difficult and boring task. How hard would it be to either take all these messages away and say nothing OR say something encouraging like “Way to go!”? The card game that sold the rights might be able to prevail on the developers who have probably moved on to other things. As a teacher I can’t even recommend this to my students for fear of discouraging them. Get it together, Set! Try harder!.Version: 1.8

Game not randomized adequatelyThis was such a womp womp. Not only can you not play with friends, but the game assumes that you are an idiot and cannot possibly handle more than a 1-2-3 same shape, color, pattern combo. Literally. Every round. Unimpressed..Version: 1.8

Not worth the moneyI really wanted to like this app and have some fun matching cards, but I just couldn't. This is a very basic app, has bland and somewhat confusing user interface, and boring game modes. To think this game came from the official company that made the SET cards, they need to hire better designers and programmers to do this, very disappointed. Where's the classic mode to add more cards? or play with a friend or two?.Version: 1.0

Great game, but in-app purchases don't workI love Set, and I enjoy playing it. The originally-purchased version works well (except that the quit and hint touch responses can be VERY slow), and can be quite addictive. But I purchased both the Arcade and Marathon/Discovery versions from within the app, and receive a product restore failure notification when I try to add them. They are not useable. Judging by the version history and other reviews, this has been an issue for quite some time, so either no one is reading these, no one is working on it, or it is taking far too long to fix the problem. It's disappointing, because I'd like to experience more with this game..Version: 1.5

No way to play against other people?What is the point of this even at all? Add multiplayer functionality or it’s seriously useless..Version: 1.8

You can play set but it’s missing a lotPros: a functioning digital version of the game set Cons: This app feels like it was made and then abandoned, the UI is hideous, you can only play on a horizontal screen, no multiplayer functionality and there’s weird messages like ‘do better next time’ or ‘you need a hug’ at the end of rounds, just sort of bizarre and discouraging?.Version: 1.8

DisappointingI love this game and have waited forever to see it in app form. While the essential game play is functional, the experience of this app is seriously lacking. It's yearning for a gorgeous minimal design in the spirit of the iOS or the Lumosity games, but instead there are colored photographic backgrounds, cartoon characters, drop shadows, and distracting boxes everywhere. It has such potential for thoughtful gestures, beautiful movements, and a clean impactful interface. Please please cut the unnecessary clutter and concentrate on better game play and presentation!.Version: 1.1

LaggingLatest version of the app lags. Takes a while to register that I’ve tapped the cards and it really interrupts the flow of the game..Version: 1.8

Good gameGame is great. Plays well. Shame they put an ad into a paid game..Version: 1.5

Needs multiplayerThis app is fine as a rudimentary set game, but so much of the fun of playing is playing against other people. It’s beyond my comprehension why there couldn’t be a multi-player mode wherein, as soon as you click on a set, a little screen pops up asking which player to credit the set, which the player who got the set can click, after which it returns to gameplay with three new cards. Without that functionality it’s seriously stunted in what it can do..Version: 1.8

Needs a major upgradeThis is my favorite game in the world and I play it every day.. but this app needs a MAJOR upgrade. It feels like I’m playing a game from the 2000’s. There’s no shuffle option, & the interface is rudimentary and sometimes there’s no sets even with 15-18 cards Also I’d love to see other peoples stats too.Version: 1.8

Pay for adsKind of a bummer to pay for an app with ads (the ads are for other games by this maker, so not the worst ads possible). I do love Set, and the app is pretty good..Version: 1.8

Massive failThis App failed so badly that it locked up my iPhone X which then had to be rebooted to regain control. Even with this massive failure, Apple refuses to issue a refund..Version: 1.8

Did I miss something?I must have missed something here, because this is, in my opinion, the worst app I've ever paid for. I LOVE Set and was excited to see this app, but it is so disappointing. Once you start a game and need to leave because you have a life, it's a crap shoot on how many times you have to touch the pause button before it finally reacts. Then, even after pausing, there's only a 50/50 chance that when you go back in it will be saved. The scoring at the end doesn't make sense- sometimes it'll tell me great job, other times it'll tell me that I can do better- on identical scores. There are no options at all other than basic or advanced deck. No sound effects or anything to make it more interesting. There should be a shuffle option too. But even beyond those options, what is there is just weak. There's also no multi-player option like the real-life game. Overall, other than the fact that it's Set and I love Set, I'm not impressed at all..Version: 1.1

Not the actual gameI thought this was going to be the game sets. It isn’t bc it is missing the shading factor. Like playing Tetris with just straight pieces..Version: 1.7

Off-putting messages at end of gameCouldn’t agree more with other reviewers about the tedious game-ending messages that can’t be turned off..Version: 1.8

Absolute crapGame present unsolvable combinations. I screen captured and sent to friends thinking I was going daft. No. Just a crappy app.Version: 1.8

Used to Love, But Update Is Evil RipoffMuch like another reviewer said, it's just not cool to suddenly make parts of the game inacessible to people who purchased an earlier version. And it wasn't a cheapie, either, if I recall. It's totally ridiculous that I'm locked out of gameplay I used to be able to access because the update has suddenly deemed them in-app purchases. Developers need to figure out a way to grandfather in legacy users. This was one of my favorite games but I'm very upset at how this update was handled. Will never buy another game from them..Version: 1.3
