It brings the excitement of the classic Nerts game to Chrome with smooth graphics, lefty mode, opponent peeking, and up to three opponents.

## Review summary

Players praise Nerts as a fast, brain-boosting and easy-to-use game with no ads and strong appeal, calling it the best Nerts app. However, the app is plagued by frequent crashes (startup and upgrades), broken multiplayer/purchase restoration, and compatibility issues with newer iOS devices. Progress is sometimes lost when idle, and matchmaking can have long waits. When it runs, the experience is rewarding and addictive.

### Pros

- The game is great, fast and thoughtful; it’s fun and keeps the mind active.
- The setup is realistic and easy to use (clear UI).
- There are no ads, providing a clean play experience.
- It’s widely regarded as the best Nerts app available and very enjoyable to play repeatedly.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes on startup, during upgrades, or when opening the app.
- Multiplayer/upgrade functionality and restore purchases don’t work consistently.
- Compatibility issues with the latest iOS devices (won’t open, disappears, or crashes after update).
- Progress isn’t saved if you idle or pause long enough; you can’t resume games.
- Matchmaking or long waits for online play can be very slow.
