________________________________________

Euchre is a four player game similar to Hearts and Spades in which you and a computer partner play against two computer opponents to get tricks.

Dirty Clubs is a form of Buck Euchre where each player plays and bids alone unless a club is turned up, then all players must play and get a trick.

Note: Bidding window issues were solved years ago in version 1.61. Rest assured bidding works fine.

Pros and cons of Euchre ^ app for iPhone and iPad

Euchre ^ app good for

The program runs like it should. No crashes, and the AI seems pretty decent. Have not noticed any foolish moves (yet). My only complaints are (1) I wish it would group (or let me group) the cards better, and (2) sometimes the color scheme makes it difficult to see everything
Gameplay is good, AI seems pretty good (if not too good sometimes, they get a lot of good cards). Developers, please add a game settings feature! Allow user to be able to change player names, card decks, table colors, game speed, etc. Stats are BADLY needed.
But overall good game. I have been waiting for a euchre game to replace the crap web app that I had to use forever. My only few suggestions to the developers is this: 1. Be able to organize cards in your hand, I do this in the real game and helps out a lot. 2. You know how when you play a card the cards rearrange and automatically adjust to the left. Well I think it would be better if the cards dont move and there was a space left where the card was just played from. It gets confusing when you play a card from the left side and the cards adjust and the space is on the right. I always think I played the wrong card and have to stop and think. 3. Options menu for difficulty control 4. Maybe instead of changing the colors in the interface just allow for different colors to be chosen. There was an opensource euchre game for windows awhile back that was brutally simple but VERY nice. Maybe if more things resembled that game. All in all great app. Thanks to the developers!
Keeps me entertained for hours. A lot of fun. x] but has anybody else noticed that chip is a stupid player?
With the hang the dealer option on... When you are stuck(hung) the choices are mostly off the screen and you can only choose the one suit left on the screen. I would give five stars if not for this.
...the only problem with it is you cant see the card under it. (Ive only played dirty clubs)

Some bad moments

Your teammate in this game is terrible. Also, there should be an option to disallow trump as first card laid, and if you order your partner up they should be forced to go alone. This game needs work.
The game could use some UI improvements. How about a setting to increase the speed of play for experienced euchre players?
Theres no end to this game, every hand it says I win (even if I dont), and contrary to the info given in the app store, there is no settings screen. Also, cant get to the support web site for this app. Did they just take my money and run???
Plays Euchre fine, however it does not keep score correctly, has no statistics, and always says that Chip and I won, even when we didnt win the hand. Please fix!
Sorry, cant get past the dreadful interface. Colors are ugly, way too much real estate is consumed by that dumb metal border, cards are too tiny, too much tapping required to play. AI might be great but Ill never know, just cant do this one.
Update: difficult to play under 3.0. Some dialog boxes and buttons fall offscreen so cant be tapped. I tried out the lite version including the "timid" and "brave" settings before buying. It might be my imagination but the gameplay seems different. I get more farmers hands than before. Regardless, this is a good version.
