Terrible
Total rip off
Rigged
Don’t buy anything in this app. It’s rigged to make you buy coins.
Game is rigged
This game is rigged they want you to keep buying coins.
Too many adds
I just watched 6 adds to play 2 games, don’t waste your time, game is fun if you spend money
TERRIBLE ALGORITHM
Do not download. The algorithm of win/loss is TERRIBLE.
Cheating
So first let’s talk about the ads.. omg it’s so frustrating!!! These pasted 100 plays I’ve been losing. A lot of ppl cheating. I’m done with this game
Ads
Too many ads almost makes the game unplayable especially after every game
Rigged
Rigged as can be. Don’t give them your money
Ужасный опыт
Симулятор рекламы и потери соединения с сервером :)
All the ads
Be prepared for the most ads in an app. Everytime you open the app it gives you multiple pop up ads and after every game you have to watch a 30 sec-1 min ad. Don’t waste your time here
Coins disappearing??
It’s happened multiple times now that when I log off the game my coins will reset to zero when I come back. It is so frustrating when the system is so inconsistent during gameplay and you find yourself out of coins every 2 games. On top of that, the coins you do earn end up lost in the nether somewhere. It’s weird and has never been like that until recently. Please fix it.
RNG
RNG RNG RNG RNG
Bad uno
Uno is always cheating and i will erase that game.
Фигня
Игра не честная. Все подстроено. Я разочарована,никому не советую,игра поносище
Not worth downloading!
The cards are so rigged I constantly get number cards and the person next to me will have at least a couple of draw 4’s a draw 2 and wilds. The other biggest pet peeve I have when playing is others will take their time till the timer runs out. I thought this would be a fun game not it’s definitely not! Not worth downloading.
Bankrupt by Design: Endless Loop
This app is structured around monetization loops that mirror gambling systems. It pulls you in, then limits how long you can play unless you spend. Ads are frequent and timed to interrupt momentum, often appearing right after losses to push VIP or coin purchases. You cannot play without coins. Every match has an entry cost, and losses drain that balance quickly. When it hits zero, the game labels you “bankrupt” and blocks further play unless you buy more. That is the core loop. The manipulation is consistent and easy to spot once you’ve played a few sessions. There is a hard paywall on gameplay, meaning you are not grinding toward progress, you are paying for access. Loss-triggered pressure is built in, with ads and purchase prompts surfacing right after defeats when frustration is highest. Stakes escalate through ranked tiers that push you into higher entry costs after small wins, setting up faster losses. Matches themselves often feel uneven. Card distribution appears skewed, outcomes lean in ways that advantage one side, and results feel guided rather than random. Whether intentional or not, it creates a pattern where wins feel controlled and losses feel frequent. Near-win scenarios show up often, ending just short of victory to encourage immediate re-entry. At the same time, coin rewards are kept low enough that you cannot sustain play without eventually paying, reinforcing artificial scarcity. The loop becomes predictable. You spend coins to play, lose them quickly, and are then pushed to either spend money or stop. The more you invest, the harder it becomes to walk away because of that pull to recover losses. If you are expecting a fair, skill-based UNO experience, this version does not deliver it.
I HATE THIS GAME
The reason I HATE this game is because when I play classic or go wild mode I just keep losing! That’s why I HATE UNO!
Sucks
This game sucks bc you can have 100,000 coins & lose it in 5 games. The game is rigged BY FAR! Every player can get a draw 4 except for u & once one player throws one out you lose the game bc u cant overcome that big of a deficit. Once u lose 1 game you will go on a losing streak for sure, you will come in last or 3rd place for 10 straight games & lose all your coins. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
prettypinkkitty
this game sucks so bad. it needs to be taken off the app store because it’s so rigged.
Purchase driven algorithm
Awful and borderline unlawful purchase driven algorithm. Terrible long ads (45+ secs) for scraps. System makes for unfair gameplay.
Cheaters
This game used to be fun. It’s dominated by cheating and adds now. A real disappointment.
Game is rigged
Do not spend money in this game, if the algorithm sees you purchasing coins they will make sure to to drain your coins so you can purchase more, it’s fun if you play it but once you purchase you’ll see for yourself
Worst app
Worst app i ever seen. So many ads. It never allows you to play in peace. You have to watch a bunch of ads after every single game
i need more ads
more ads pls
Horrible hacker game
Legit will take all your coins so you have to buy more. The most corrupt game in history. Never pay a single dime in this game or you’re just pathetic.
Constant popups
I would love the game if it didn’t have so many popups, i paid to get rid of the ads but there’s still in game popups constantly and after every game, matter of fact multiple after one another after every game, telling me to buy a deal or do that, its insufferable
Fun but rigged game
This game is lots of fun but unfortunately the customer service is absolutely terrible. The game is rigged to squeeze more money. They offer worse rewards to players who spent more money and after multiple nonsense excuses from customer service they never offer a fair solution. Their argument was that they test multiple versions. But when players are forced to play higher limits to obtain the same rewards i believe that’s just an unfair disadvantage
ADS WHYYYY😭😭😭
Now you have to do a terms and service tinge FOR THEM TO PUT USLEES ADS ON UR PHONE CONSTANTLY THANKS MATEL
To many apps
After you played every game in the ad, if you wanna go to another game, it’s the ad if you wanna play with the same player, it’s the ad too much
Waste of Time
Your app still sucks; I’ll await your canned response like I received before……game is rigged and they don’t even try to hide it.
Cheaters
Need more punishment. When playing for coins and the others cheat it is disappointing to see that only one team member has to draw more cards. If they play a draw 4 and lose the challenge I think the person challenged should draw four and their partner should draw the other two. Cheating on makes the game less fun and allows the other team to lose. If the challenge is lost the color they called should remain as it was before the draw 4 was played. I would rather not play the game if you continue to allow the cheating. This would detour the cheating. I have paid money for coins just to be lost to cheaters. Does not make the game fun at all when bot people on the team is not punished. It isn’t fair.
Algorithm is designed to make you lose and pay for coins
Honestly, I’ve played long enough to understand the algorithm and this game is designed to make you lose and have to spend coins. You will definitely lose way more than you win, get terrible cards, and the bots next to you will somehow always have the perfect alignment of cards to give you 3 +4s in a row. Honestly, just play uno on iMessage games or in person with friends. You will have a much better experience
Eh
It’s ehh wouldn’t reccomend
The waste of my time
Wasn’t a good game to play because you be getting so much ads and every 1 minute you get 25 ads!
terrible ai art
game ruined with ai slop
Do not give them any money.
Scam scam scam scam!!!!! Do not give this game a penny of your money. Absolute and total scam. Don’t tell you I didn’t warn you. Rigged and one huge scam.
Money grab
If I spend money to get coins and lose 13 out of 12 games and the one I win I only get 1000 coins but when I lose on the same mode i lose 16000 or more on multiple games and I’m given the worst hands possible but the people I play against get rid of their entire hand in 3 goes or have 2 plus 4’s for both of them and I can’t even get one while drawing 20 cards is ridiculous I would not recommend spending any money on this game because you loss rate magically becomes horrendous and you winn gain next to nothing on 80x but lose more the 10X you where winning
Too many adds uses ai art
Matel is one of the largest companies in the world and they choose to use ai art instead of actually paying artists as well as pounding people with adds while having a mass amount of in game transactions Matel is a power and money hungry company don’t download
Deleted the app
Too many ads, no purpose of the coins, and you’re playing against too many bots which makes it a waste of time.
Injusticia
La verdad no puedo entender porque a las personas que se fuerzan mucho para ganar dinero y subir de nivel se lo quiten de una manera tan rápida sus logros a la hora de perder una partida, y cuando ganas te dan una miseria!
Fun Game, Worst Ads, and Don’t Pay for Ad Free Version
I like the game, though the ads are annoying. I ignored them since I knew it was the free version! But, what’s making me rate it one star is the fact that there are ads you can’t even exit out of.
I have to close the app and reopen it just to keep playing, and there are multiple ads that make me do this! Also, once I paid for no ads there’s still ads just not as many so not worth the money 🤷🏼♀️

Love the game at first
Every time I log out and log back into the game I lose coins, I just had 5,000 something coins than I log in today and it’s 500 I don’t remember losing a big game recently so what happened to my coins
RIGGED
Your opponent will get every perfect card to play. Including multiple Wild cards. Not that many Wild cards in a normal deck but on the app it gives out tons when it’s your opponent.
Shameful annoying ads
I shouldn’t have to click through 18 advertisements for your in game purchases to play the game. Greedy corporate game
Too Many Annoying Ads
It’s fun to play, but the amount of ads is ridiculous!
Wtf is wrong with all the pop ups
10 in a row. Ridickilick.
Algorithm is harsh RIGGED don’t download google “uno apple rigged” and see results
If you make any purchase you won’t win a game until your purchase is depleted. Worst than Vegas odds- deleted the app
Predatory Algorithms: Players report that after amassing a large number of coins, the game's algorithm seemingly shifts to ensure "hard losses," often dealing players poor hands while opponents receive multiple Wild +4 or +2 cards.
Aggressive Monetization: The app is heavily criticized for being designed as a "financial asset" tracker rather than a game. Many believe it uses gambling-like psychology to drive "angry buying" when players run out of coins.
Bot Interference: Users claim that nearly 70% of matches are filled with unbeatable bots. These bots reportedly have near-perfect win rates and may even sabotage players when assigned as teammates in 2v2 modes.
Mid-Game Manipulations: Some players have documented instances where opponents appear to "magically" change their cards mid-game or play cards they shouldn't have to secure a win.
Unfair Payouts: Complaints on Change.org allege that even when beating bots, the payout system often "bankrupts" the bots so players receive only a fraction (roughly 30%) of their actual winnings.

Mal
Juego de mierda siempre me dan cartas de todos los colores y a mis rivales les dan siempre los comodines 🤢
IVY COUNT UR DAYS!
Ivy bro now I have no coins. Thanks a lot.
Ads
Even though I've topped up my VIP 1 account, there are still too many ads. Are the game developers so desperate that they have to insert so many ads?
