Good mind stimulation...And they went all the way back to 1993 to find their graphic designer!.Version: 1.8

Fabulous GameThis is a fabulous version of this game. I used to play it with my middle school students during recess. They have a beginners level and advanced level, so you can train newcomers to the game on the strategy for playing. You also have the option of getting a hint if you’re stuck. Very well done and easy to play. Once I started, I couldn’t stop..Version: 1.8

My Brain is a MachineSet 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..Version: 1.5

Such a great gameThis app is a great way to practice and improve in Set. The card game is better because you play other people, but this is a great way to improve. Good God, I see several bad reviews for this app from snowflakes who don’t like that the comments at the end of a game don’t praise them for non-praiseworthy Set times. Trophies for everyone!.Version: 1.8

Rankings wantedI would love to see my place in global rankings of time per set for each category (classic, marathon, etc). It would be very exciting since the star ratings are not that challenging. Otherwise it is a great game and a perfect app. Everyone I know refuses to play with me, so I like competing against myself xD.Version: 1.8

Great App, Great GameI’m obsessed with this app! Thanks for fixing the screen formatting!.Version: 1.7

Great game & good appSet is a fantastic game. It may seem hard at first, but be persistent. I've taught the game to many people and they are all hooked. The app itself has the basic game plus some other game modes like Arcade, Puzzle, and Marathon. For each game mode, you can choose a basic deck (easy) or the advanced deck (harder, more like the real game). I'm not giving the App 5-stars for two major shortcomings. 1. The statistics can only track your best speed. More stats would make me play the game more often. Also, more stats would encourage players to use the app to exercise their brains. And they could see improvements on different factors beyond speed. Come on guys, give us more stats. 2. There is a hint option. But the hint itself is hard to see with only a light border around the card-hint. Please make the border into a black, bold border . In fact, a border should also appear whenever I select a card. Currently, I can't tell which card has been selected so there are a lot of time-wasting taps..Version: 1.7

More, PleaseI like the game Set a lot. I love being able to play it on my phone wherever. I’ve been spending my time analyzing the mathematics of it. I’ve been modeling it as a 3 or 4 dimensional torus, and a set is any straight line within it. I wish that the app explained what all the different games are. For Rediscovery, Marathon, and Arcade, it feels like I’m just playing regular Set as fast as I can, and then it stops at some point, because I can’t figure out what the rules are precisely. I got really into Set when I found it on the New York Times crossword puzzle page. It gives you four games of Puzzle, 2 basic and 2 advanced. With the basic pack, it picks one attribute to keep constant, but it changes from day to day for variety. In this app, the basic pack always has all the cards have a solid pattern. I really wish they could change that up randomly, because it doesn’t change the gameplay at all, but it does give you opportunity to see different sets. And variety is fun. I’d love it if there could be a shuffle button to rearrange all the cards. It’s a nice tool when I am stuck, and I use it all the time on the nytimes page..Version: 1.8

Great Brain GameSet is a great game— this isn’t the most polished app in the world but It lets my play as much Set as I want, anytime and anywhere. That alone is worth the money..Version: 1.8

Love hate relationship with the appThis app is great except for one thing that was removed about a year ago. There used to be the option in the settings that would make it so there was always a set out on the board, sure it may seem cheap to those who have played the physical card game, but it was great for playing on the app. Now that that is no longer an option the game can get stuck throwing out cards with no sets and killing an otherwise perfect round! It is also helpful for those learning to play the game. So basically what I’m trying to say is, great app, but bring back the old options!.Version: 1.8

Set is greatGreat game! Only problem : score stats are so tiny they cannot be read (on a phone).Version: 1.5

A few options would make it betterI also got hooked on the game by playing the freebie in the NYT. It would be nice to be able to turn off the time clock. Pattern would be a nice option to color and I agree it is hard to see the yellow highlighting the card..Version: 1.8

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.Version: 1.4

Love playing, but could use ONE improvement.This is very well done — a great and authentic version of the card game. But, I would love to see one improvement over the card game. Why not program it so the player is told (if s/he wants to be) when there are no sets? This would make the app even better than the card game..Version: 1.8

The messages at the endThis used to be my favorite card game. I kept a deck at work to play in breaks. I usually had a deck in my bag at any given time. I was so excited to have the app. The messages at the end were so off putting that I stopped playing the game altogether. Seriously, who wants to read them?.Version: 1.8

Easy way to play a classic gameI’ve been playing SET for the last fifteen or so years, mainly as the card game, and it’s always been one of my favorites. I like the app a bit more, as the portability is unbeatable. There are some things to know, as the game, like all games, has a couple quirks. (Also, I only play Classic SET with the advanced deck.) First, there are not always sets in a given group of 12 cards, which can be frustrating if you’re new to the game. (1/33 chance, I believe.) If I don’t think there are any, I’ll start from the upper left and scan starting from card to right and all the way to end, repeating with next card (since any two cards have exactly one card that can make the three a set). Second, the way this app rewards with one, two, or three stars is intense! It takes some luck (i.e. no or almost no no set groups) to get top marks. It will take some practice to get even one star. My record is 9.6 seconds per set, but i average around 14 or 15..Version: 1.8

Entertaining and Enjoyable AppFor those who are unfamiliar with the game, or for anyone who may have “forgotten” how to play, this app is especially helpful in visually (re)explaining the rules. After familiarizing yourself with game-play; on-screen controls are responsive and bring a new challenge to both visual-perception and finger-dexterity/motor-skills in the timed-version of the game..Version: 1.1

“Guarantee set” setting doesn’t work?Sometimes there’s no set even when I select the “guarantee set” setting. There’s no “no set” button either, so maybe consider installing a “no no set button button”( ???) or just fix the program so it makes sure there’s always a set when I use this option. Overall the game is amaz..Version: 1.8

Very close, but not quite thereFirst, 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).Version: 1.5

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..Version: 1.4

Soooooo excited about this app!!!!!I played SET in math class growing up and am so happy that I can play it on my phone now, it's great for taking a break and de-cluttering my mind in between projects. I like to play the basic deck so the rotating basic deck feature gives it just enough twist that it always seems challenging. This app takes a great card game and adds a couple of new ways to play, I'm digging it!.Version: 1.1

Great pastime!This is really a five star app except for the ads that keep popping up. Even though they are easy to ignore, it breaks the flow of the play. I play Set Puzzle a great deal to see how fast I can can find the 4 sets in the basic deck. It absorbs my mind and is just plain fun. I play it on the iPad and iPhone. Here are some improvements I’d like to see: —make the iPad start screen the same as the iPhone. —keep track of all my scores and let me see how I’m doing in a variety of ways: for example how many games were under 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, etc. Graph my performance over the session (relaunch). Graph my performance for the week, etc. I sure you can come up with some great ways to show performance. I think if you did this, the game would be even more fun to play against myself and by being able to email the performance stats friends could share their performance with each other. Keep up the good work..Version: 1.6

Finally!Was so excited to know that there was going to be a Set game released for iPhone (and not the knockoff versions that are in the App Store now)! I have played through each of the 3 game types and can finally be happy that I can play my old childhood game. So far I don't have any complaints, since everything is running like it should. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS GAME!!!.Version: 1.0

Best digital Set experienceI 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..Version: 1.3

Portrait mode pleaseI’ve been a SET fan for nearly twenty years….this rendition still scratches the itches. My number one recommendation: allow play in portrait orientation, not just landscape..Version: 1.8

Totally hooked!We often play this game with friends as a card game and really like it. We were excited to hear that the same company (SET Enterprises) had recently released the game as an app for the iPhone. What a treat! Now we can play it more often, and as such this has now become our favorite game app. The app is very well designed and makes it easy to focus on the challenge of the game. It is stimulating and fun, and I have become quite hooked. I am glad I am now able to have the game with me on my iPhone, so I can enjoy it more often..Version: 1.0

Finally it's here!I love this game and play the daily game online, but couldn't wait to get it on my phone to play whenever I want. The graphics are great, and the app is fast so I can't blame the game when it gets tough! I like the setting choices that allow me to show people how it works, and it is a great way to start my day and get my mind in gear for the challenges to come. Thanks SET folks for doing a great job on the app and not cutting corners!.Version: 1.1
