Features & Capabilities

Cards with Phones lets you play popular card games anytime you're together with friends, whether you're waiting in line, out at a restaurant, or taking a flight together (that's right... it even works on airplanes). Advanced peer-to-peer connectivity means Cards with Phones works as long as you and your friends' phones are within Bluetooth or WiFi range of each other.

NOTE: You can PLAY FOR FREE in black & white, with all features enabled. If you like it, upgrade to FULL COLOR with a one-time simple in-app purchase.

Nope. Cards with Phones is for those moments when you're with friends and forgot to bring playing cards. I wanted to offer people another way of having fun together, in person.

CAN I PLAY AGAINST THE COMPUTER?

Yup! Just add robots to any game and you can test your skills against my advanced AI.

ARE YOU GOING TO ADD MORE GAMES?

Yes! I plan on adding more based on what people ask for in reviews, so please be nice and rate this app. Or post your suggestions in the CardsWithPhones subreddit.

Love the game options, but scoring for the game of hearts is wrong. If you get a control in hearts your score is supposed to go down by 26(because you won the hand) not UP by 26 making you the loser of the hand. Conversely the winners hand can stay at the same score and the other players scores can go up by 26 but this does not happen.

My husband and I downloaded this app on my iphone 15 and maybe his 11 or 12?. Choosing host worked but we never could play because the app crashed when we tried to join, even though we were clearly connected no matter which game we tried. Bummer on our flight! Maybe Eugene can help?

My husband and I enjoy playing hearts with the “bots” but we have a question regarding scoring/rules and a few small critiques. Hearts rules do not allow a player to play a heart or the queen of spades on the first hand…but this game allows it. And several times we have “run the cards” taking all the tricks, we are penalized with 26 points and two other players with 52. Possibly having a link to each games rules? Again, love the app…but would like to have a way to contact support. Thanks!
