Description
Improve your skills and become a cribbage expert! Cribbage classic has a number of settings that can help you to learn the best move for your situation and offer assistance if it notices that you are making a sub-optimal play. Or just play in fast mode where all counting is done for you and you get to simply focus on discarding and pegging. By tweaking the settings you can take this app anywhere from a lazy-thoughtless-time-waster game to a skill-sharpening-master-tutorial helping you to crush your next opponent. Statistics are also kept so you can see your average pegging score, your average hand score, and your average crib score! Also shows you a summary of all of the suboptimal plays you made at the end of the game and tracks your error rate over time so you can see yourself improving.
Cribbage Classic also has a "Discard Analyzer" bonus feature that can help you decide on the optimal discard to play given a particular cribbage hand. Analyzer shows you the minimum, maximum and average score for each permutation along with an in depth statistical analysis of all possible flip card results.

An excellent app - I can't think of any potential improvements
The graphics and animations are clear, smooth and unfussy. The play (I've only tried it on Pro level so far) is excellent and appears realistic. The discard analyser is useful, especially, I would think, for beginners but seasoned players should also find it helpful as we all make mistakes from time to time and even though a mistake may be flagged, the advice can be ignored. I like that the counting can be done automatically and then switched to manual as players gain more experience.
This is a great app but with one proviso - I hope that it isn't collecting any information, personal or otherwise. There is no privacy policy and the app asks for no "permissions" so I assumed that it is not and installed. Nowadays I won't install any app that I think may be spying on me. That said it has no ads. and it's free.
Great app
My sisters and I were taught Cribbage many decades ago by my father. He is gone now but I can play this game on my phone. The design and animation are lovely and the analyser of your discard decisions is very useful. I have actually become more proficient through playing using this app. I have not seen any evidence that the cards favour the computer - I have a 53% win ratio.
As I play I recite out loud the expressions my father learnt from his father such as "I've got a hand like a foot" (a poor hand); "I've got a 19" when a hand contains no points (19 is an impossible score to achieve) and "one for his nob" (nob in this case referring to the Jack's head). I won't mention what two Queens were called...

I have enjoyed this game for quite some time. Just recently I have experienced problems if I went to where you can see how you have done. Unfortunately, when I tried that I that position froze and I was unable to log into the game again.
I cancelled the app and downloaded the new version. I find this really slow because I can count the points in a hand much quicker than it takes to go through all the rigmarole of making your score by clicking on the cards to count your score. I much preferred the old version. Please could you make that available again?
Incidentally, I disagree with the people who say that it is biased towards the Pro. My percentage of wins averages out between 70%/80% and yes, sometimes you have a run in your favour and sometimes it runs against you. I play in a local league competition and that’s what happens in real life.
