Pros and cons of iScopa app for iPhone and iPad
iScopa app good for
All I need when Im playing this game is an espresso and a pack of smokes. I would love to see Briscola or Bestia made as well.
If you like scopa how can u not like this game.... More Italian card games would me amazing!!! Ill get them!
Would love to see briscola as well. Love the fact that now you can turn off sound. Only drawback is that I spend too much time playing it. Well worth the $3.99.
I love this game! Worth every penny. It is highly addictive. Now I am eagerly awaiting bestia.
Very fun game. I used to play this game with my grandfather in Italy when I was young. I havent played scopa in a while. Very easy game, counts the points for you too. I definitely will be playing this game a lot.
Being Italian living away from my country, this is the perfect app to keep the good memories alive from back home. Great app, well developed and rich in detail. If you will agree with me and you miss (if youre Italian)/are looking for more Italian games with cards, then I highly recommend you iBriscola (it worths every single penny). Well done.
Some bad moments
This game is cool but it Is rigged ... Ive had tons of people play this game on my phone, and no one has won .... Dont waste your money ... For the future. If your gonna make an app, at least give people a chance to win you banana
Whenever you try to click on the settings button!
I wasted $3 ! You gotta be kidding me...
Such a pity. This little detail forces me to give the game 1 star instead of 5. The program would definitely deserves 5 stars, because its awesome! But if you have been playing the game since childhood and know it very well it takes a few rounds against the computer to understand that the AI totally cheats. Not only it cheats, it decides in the first place which games you are going to win. Scopa should be based on giving RANDOM cards to both opponents from a SHUFFLED deck, and then its up to them, their memory, and their knowledge of probability to play more or less well. Here there is nothing random in the way the AI serves the cards to itself. If you could please fix this absurdity, remove the difficulty option (which makes no sense in scopa) and make it a TRUE RANDOM game I would give it 5 stars, hands down!
Good value anyway.
CAN YOU PLEASE RELEASE A VERSION OF THE GAME IN WHICH THE AI DOESNT CHEAT?!
Its really frustrating, the app is so well made and yet it makes you nervous because the AI cheats. This cheating goes to unbeliavable extents! No need to give examples on what it does, just try to play and if you know the game youll see what I mean; it is laughable! It gets to the point I can predict what cards its going to play in most occasions, simply because the AI decides what cards to play out of ALL the ones left in the deck instead of the 3 cards in its hand, which "should" be given randomly! This is a discriminating aspect in rating this game 1 star or 5.
The UI is great. Unfortunately, the AI cheats. Its very frustrating and ruins the experience. I wish the author would learn how to program properly.
After the last update of iScopa the orientation of the screen has changed from vertical view to horizontal which i find very annoying. It should give the option to the player to choose how to view the screen. I definitely dont like the way its now and wish it could change.
