Batak - trick taking card game app for iPhone and iPad

I love this game and cant stop playing. The effects are great and the response time is really fast. Keep up the good work guys.

I really enjoy this live game and rcommend to all turkish and international players you will get hooked and addicted easily

This is a well-designed game that is fun & becomes quite addicting. Not to worry, its a good healthy addiction, good for the brain, keeps it active & sharp.

I like this game, but; lately ads start boring too many ads, cant even focus the game. Getting worst and worst....

Game seems to have gotten worse over time. Deal cant be random as I have had terrible hands (only being able to bid 1) many, many times in a row while at least one or two players have consistently bid & made 6 or more. Robots are usually a nuisance bidding a couple & getting 5 & more because they have most of the spades. Certainly could be improved!

This game was decent a few years ago but now the supposed random deal is anything but. Almost every hand has someone bidding 6 or more with easily enough spades & high cards to get that & more. It might not be so bad IF it came around but I get hands that you can at best get maybe 1 or none because each suit is spread evenly (except spades which are always low rank) & the rest below the jack. Random dealing in its very nature would dictate that cannot occur for multiple deals time after time! Time to find a better game to play!! BJ

It was great with just one ad appearing now with the new update more ad pops out. Do not like it!

Update: version 3.0s redesign is less attractive than the previous design: the opening screen is cluttered with options and the score indicators are less vivid. Usability has declined, with small tap targets for bidding and bid/taken indicators more difficult to read. It also appears there was no testing done on 3.5-inch devices, since the images are squashed vertically. The new solo feature was unnecessary, since the developer already had an app for that purpose, and the animations are now much less smooth than they were previously. _____________ Ive been playing this game for about two years now, but only feel compelled now to write a review. The game is addicting, but scoring changes in the last six months have made the game much less fun than it used to be. Back in the day (prior to version 1.8), only the players with the highest score or the lowest negative score of the hand would have their points accumulated in their overall score. Players who played badly would receive no points; players who left the game before the end would be penalized. Now, all players (except those who have negative points) accumulate points. Theres no incentive to play strategically anymore (or even stay in the game), so its rare that even good players will play to force others to lose points. The game is hardly better than a four-person game of War. Advertising has gotten more blatant in the last few versions; in 2.1 a video ad was added and users are occasionally subjected to a 30-second ad between hands -- and they cant skip it. Theres also now a full screen ad when the app is launched and in between games, in addition to the usual banner ads. The latest version (2.3) added an in-app purchase to remove ads -- something Ive been begging the developer to add for nearly two years -- but so far Ive been unable to get the app to complete the purchase. Im lowering my previous rating of three stars until ads are sorted out and will increase it from there only if the scoring improves. Update: version 2.3.1 has fixed the in-app purchase problem and Ive increased my rating as promised. Version 2.5 adds background music. If I wanted music Id fire up the Music app and play something of my choice. Why waste time with a useless feature when the scoring system is still broken? Version 2.6 adds an annoying "rate this app" dialog that appears repeatedly. Dropping my rating to 1 star.

Very entertaining, never saw previous version, this one looks good enough for me.
