iPlayingCards

iPlayingCards Version 3.1 – A virtual deck of cards for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. (NOTE: Use this App to play card games with other people - just like a real deck; but it is NOT a game-playing program.) Play cards on one or multiple devices (using Game Center or Bluetooth - Bluetooth works on airplanes). Cards move with the touch of a finger. When playing with a shared device, use four hidden hands – a hand become visible only when the device is tilted on its side facing that direction. When playing with multiple devices, each device can display a different hand. Many features – shuffling, dealing, cutting, flipping, sorting, etc.. Nine classic decks for playing games such as Poker, Sixty-Six, Piquet, Belote, Jass, Durak, Scopa, Mus, Five Hundred, Pinochle, Bezique or Canasta. Fast set-up of 21 different games.

Note - This full version of iPlayingCards, available for a small fee, has unlimited random shuffling. In the Lite Version of iPlayingCards, available for free from the App Store, the deck can be automatically shuffled into only four predetermined random decks. The Lite version can be upgraded with an In-App Purchase (same price as this full version) to be equivalent to this full version. Devices that have the full version on them will cause a Lite version to automatically upgrade. Game Center matches may be played among users of the Lite version with one user (the designated shuffler) having an upgraded Lite version.
