User Reviews

Users praise Cribbage With Grandpas for its cozy, nostalgic vibe, customizable grandpa, and strong learning support, with no ads or purchases and quick, relaxing matches. The app is beginner-friendly and educational, aided by Grandpa’s tips. However, several reviews flag non-random dealing that seems to favor Grandpa, inconsistent difficulty balance, repetitive dialogue, and occasional glitches. There are also questions about ongoing development. Overall it’s charming and educational, but trust in the randomness is undermined by these recurring issues.

Pros

Cozy, nostalgic feel with customizable grandpa and personal touches.
Great for learning cribbage; teaches rules and scoring with helpful hints from Grandpa.
Ad-free experience with no microtransactions.
Fast, relaxed gameplay that's suitable for short sessions.
Configurable pacing and speed to accommodate different players (e.g., slow readers/scorers).

Cons

Perceived non-random card dealing that favors Grandpa, especially at higher difficulties.
Inconsistent balance across difficulty levels observed by players.
Repetitive or dull banter that some find tiresome.
Occasional glitches like the same hand appearing multiple times.
Unclear or lightly mentioned ongoing development/updates.

It runs smoothly, but you can’t call Muggins on grandpas.. they can only call it on you.

It took me a few hundred games to figure out that grandpa’s hands are weighted heavily on the highest difficulty. I always suspected it and other reviews here confirmed it. It’s very frustrating. I wish the cards were random because otherwise I love everything about this app and have recommended it to friends who bought it. If you’re new to the game it’s great because it will give you good hands on lower difficulties but the game will always keep you down games on the highest difficulty. So frustrating. Time to look for a new cribbage app

TLDR: The AI deals non random hands to give the illusion of various difficulties. I’ve played cribbage for 20+ years and this used to be my favorite app on my phone. Recently I’ve been playing cribbage more consistently both irl and on this app. I started to feel frustrated when playing against grandpa, that something was off compared to what I was expecting. It felt like no matter what you could never get ahead, that grandpa kept getting especially lucky. Well I decided to run a few tests to see if I was just making things up. I started playing cribbage on a different app and didn’t experience any of these feelings, the game felt fair. Then I came back to this app and started tracking points for hands. Grandpa got high scoring hands a lot more often than I did and a lot more often than either player did on the other cribbage app. Then I put the difficulty to the lowest setting. I suddenly started getting incredible hands consistently! I would then start to discard to the crib the cards that would make my hand the worst, the flip would then be a card that made my hand great. If I started to not score my hand Grandpa’s hand would then get worse. After that I just deleted the game and then came here to write my first app review in a decade. If you all ever put in a fair randomization where the skill level changes instead of weighting the deal I’ll be back as I love the aesthetic and feel of the gameplay compared to other apps.
