Old Maid at Mac App Store analyse

A lot better now that upgrading had been done. It is a lot faster now.

I love playing the Old Maid!! Its so much fun and I can play this game again and again..

I love this app but the only problem is that you cant shuffle the cards so you can just track the old maid down but overall its a good app

Very addicting I think, perfect price, all you can ask for. No problems so far, if you like the classic card game this is for you. Vibrant colors are pleasing to the eye and cool music, of course you can always turn it off too.

I have been waiting a long time for an Old Maid game for my iPod Touch, as it was one of my favorite card games as a kid. While I am glad to have this game available, it is pretty disappointing. You have only one option when you open this game: Play. No game rules, how-to, options, etc. This application is begging for an update, and I would suggest the following: 1) Rules of Play: Not everyone grew up on this game and knows/remembers how it goes. 2) How to Play: The extent of the game instructions is during actual gameplay; when it is your turn, a box in the top-left tells you to make as many pairs as you can. Doing away with this and having a menu option for Game Instructions would be much better from a design and usability standpoint. 3) Options/Settings: At the very least, include options for the volume of background music and SFX (which are kind of cheesy). An option to listen to your own music instead of the games music would be a welcomed addition as well. 4) Characters/Players: WiFi play would be a very nice option. However, before that is added I think more importantly you should be able to not only name your own player (you are actually nameless in this game), but choose your other players from a set of CPU characters with varying, silly characteristics. You should also be able to choose how many players are in the game--every game is a group of 4 players (yourself, plus 3 others named only as Player 1, Player 2 and Player 3, without any faces or anything, just text). Old Maid can be played with 2-8 players, and that should be an option. 5) Levels: A feeling of "advancement" when you win a round, perhaps by sending you to a new setting/background/scene. The game gets very stale after playing the same exact round every time. 6) Graphics: While they arent terrible, they arent all that great either. The card characters look very much like cheap free clipart sketches dating back to the 80s, and not in a nostalgic way. They could definitely use some refinement or, better yet, replace them altogether with cute, more-modern graphics to match the look of the rest of the game. The background during gameplay and the main "menu" have a distinct style to them and the cards look out of place inside all of that. On the main menu, when you touch the two trees, they "bounce"... for no reason at all. An unnecessary and somewhat confusing effect that can be discarded altogether. Again, its good to see this game finally made it to the iPod Touch/iPhone. I hope the developers work to make it even better. I dont want to be too harsh, but I honestly dont think it is worth 99 cents in its current version. Some well-planned updates could drastically change that and make it a steal for 99 cents. Lots of potential here!

Wow what a disapointment. Very slow!!!!!!!!! Between players. I wish I would have read the reviews first!! PleAse make it faster

Now Ive said it before I love all the classic games and Ive been in search of a classic old maid game but this one didnt live up to it either. Its not bad. The graphics are pretty...amature at best. Not bad but Id save your money.
