8 of 25No subscription. Works great. Lots of simple games.
Best card app I've used. Lots of different games. I have had it for years.
Addendum Jan 2026. No way to email developer which is annoying but since iOS 26.2, the graphics lag badly. Please please update the app!! I love it but will need to migrate to a newer one if the slow graphics persist. I’m on an iPhone 14 Pro Max with loads of space. Graphics have never been slow/choppy until the last iOS update. Love it. Play 6-8 of the games. Never heard of the rest. Instructions are vague often but you can find them online pretty easily and then play here. Like the added speed recently!
This version of Canfield takes me back to grandma and grandpa Olson’s kitchen table.
I’ve played this for years and just recently it’s started to reset randomly. The score also doesn’t increase as before. I love this game as was wondering what could be going on. Thanks
The computer opponents play like real players! Also when I have to close the app in the middle of a game, it resumes seamlessly the next time I open it. I find it very relaxing.
I have been playing this for years. It’s my go to when I’m bored. Great variety of games. I just bought a windows computer and I’m very sad I can’t get this game on it. I will be lost
A super collection of card games. I play it all the time and I am very glad to see they have updated it for Apple's upcoming iOS. Was worried they wouldn't for a bit but they came through... 🎈👍👍🎈 Love the games this one app is the most used on my machine. Well worth the download IMO. Get it and enjoy!!!
