Pros and cons of Fluxx app for iPhone and iPad

Fluxx app good for

First off, love the game. Tons of fun. I encountered a bug in my most recent play. The game progressed to a point where there was only one card in the draw deck. The AI played "play all" and they played "jackpot" drawing the last card in the deck. That last card? "Everyone gets one". AI continued to play "jackpot" and "everyone gets one" in a continuous loop. I had to force close the game since the turn would never end. I get that this could happen in the physical game, but after one go through, people would agree to either not count the card anymore, or play them in a different order, thus allowing play to continue. Other than that, great game.
This app really does a great job of bringing this wacky card game to life! I only have 2 suggestions: 1. LANDSCAPE Mode! Please. If there was ever a game that should allow landscape mode, its this one. 2. THEMES. If you added some of the themed decks (Star Fluxx, Pirates, etc) as in-app purchases, I would happily buy them! (and I feel sure Im not the only one)
Lots of fun. My family wont play the real thing with me so this is great! It needs some work though. It would be great to have Creeper cards and maybe some sort of create your own cards. Incorporating the different expansion packs (like Zombie and Monty Python) would be AMAZING! I also think the menus could use some work. Instead of having 3 different main menus make one main menu with an offline game and online game button. Make access to your profile from the main menu and use a game server like Game Center to be online at anytime. Keep up the good work!
I love this version of my favorite card game. Ive probably played several hundred games already. A couple of issues: 1. The Game Center implementation is fragile and requires a solid established internet connection. 2. The game really needs to offer some of the cool Fluxx variants that are available in the cardboard versions.

Some bad moments

Sleep was down iPad and online doesnt work (it tries to log onto Game Center). This app needs an update in the worst way.
I love this game, so I was excited to be able to play it as an app. Over all, Im not impressed. Its the same game, so thats good, but its slow and looks old. The graphics are low grade. Playing with AIs , the game moved so slow, and Im not a fan of the layout. Some performance upgrades, an updated look, and maybe expansions packs for the other themes would be great!
App has never been updated in 5 years and sounds like it will never be but it desperately needs an overhaul.
This is a pretty straightforward adaptation of the card game but everything about the user interface (and overall user experience) jus screams "Amateur Hour". Id have expected to see this level of design and visuals on a high school CompSci project.
I really like the game but trying to play online is rough. Would be a lot of fun if there was an option to play with Bluetooth. Please put this in the game.
For those who say the AIs are too dumb: you can make them "smarter" by clicking their green buttons on the game screen to red. Then they get way better, and make smart decisions. I love this game for quick, easy time-killing, but Im starting to get bored- Id love to see some expansions come out.
