Pros and cons of SET® Mania app for iPhone and iPad

SET® Mania app good for

This game gets my brain kick-started every morning. I like to compare how I do before coffee and after. I love playing the two player feature with my daughter.
There are imitations that are cheaper, but dont have the features this does. The tutorial and the ability to select your level set this apart from the knock-offs.
First, for people who are familiar with the physical version: this is very close. I enjoy being able to play a quick solo game of SET whenever I want to. If you like the physical game, get this. But there is one really, really annoying misfeature in the game: apparently in an attempt to get you to play more, the game basically insults you at the end of every game. I just finished what I thought was quite a good game, and it said "Dont be discouraged, keep trying." In other words, what I thought was pretty good actually sucked, and I should feel bad. I really just want to enjoy the game without it telling me after every single game that Im not good enough to meet whatever standard it has. If I could just shut that freaking insult thing up, Id have given it five stars. Also, the "statistics" report has only your average time per move, not even things as basic as the number of games played. If Id gotten it for (or even caring about) the statistics, Id be very disappointed. But I didnt; I got it to play SET, and it does that very well. (except for the "you didnt do well enough" insult every game)

Some bad moments

Was so excited to know that there was going to be a Set game released for iPhone (and not the knockoff versions that are in the App Store now)! I have played through each of the 3 game types and can finally be happy that I can play my old childhood game. So far I dont have any complaints, since everything is running like it should. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS GAME!!!
great to have a version true to the card version that I can play while commuting by train. Found card version in the 90s. This is a wonderful app of the game
We often play this game with friends as a card game and really like it. We were excited to hear that the same company (SET Enterprises) had recently released the game as an app for the iPhone. What a treat! Now we can play it more often, and as such this has now become our favorite game app. The app is very well designed and makes it easy to focus on the challenge of the game. It is stimulating and fun, and I have become quite hooked. I am glad I am now able to have the game with me on my iPhone, so I can enjoy it more often.
I really wanted to like this app and have some fun matching cards, but I just couldnt. This is a very basic app, has bland and somewhat confusing user interface, and boring game modes. To think this game came from the official company that made the SET cards, they need to hire better designers and programmers to do this, very disappointed. Wheres the classic mode to add more cards? or play with a friend or two?
Great app that gives you everything the traditional card game Set does plus more.
I played SET in math class growing up and am so happy that I can play it on my phone now, its great for taking a break and de-cluttering my mind in between projects. I like to play the basic deck so the rotating basic deck feature gives it just enough twist that it always seems challenging. This app takes a great card game and adds a couple of new ways to play, Im digging it!
