Card table has been getting attention from around the web. Here are some of the things people are saying about it.

...many of us have a smartphone on hand 24/7, [but] few of us have a deck of cards in our pockets as well. Which is why this app that creates a virtual deck and a virtual card table on an iPad is so wonderful. Simply called The Card Table, the app's name reflects its minimal features and options, but don't for a second think that means it's not incredibly useful.

If you know you're around friends with iPhones and need a deck of cards for a game night, now you have one free of charge with the gadgets you already own. Plus, you never have to worry about shuffling properly.

We've all experienced it: you're having a dinner party or social event, and you look up only to find everyone with their heads buried in their iPhones. Now you can use that to your advantage with Card Table.

Card Table is a great little demonstration of what some creative thinking can do using the tools iOS provides ... Card Table is original, clever and useful. Give it a try if you are into card games.

Reviews from the App Store

I like how unique this app is. It's easy to use, pretty to look at, and most importantly - fun! My favorite part is how it let's me really just focus on the game I'm playing and doesn't get in the way.

This app is one of the best apps I've owned. I am excited for future updates. Great app for when you have a couple of friends over that have iPhones.
- Scott Pfeifer
I love this application! It's awesome to play cards even at times when it isn't convenient. In the park or at the cafe I always have a deck of cards and a clear place to play.

The Card Table is a genius idea, especially for those who love their iPads and iPhones.

[The Card Table is] something that reminds us just how much there's still to be done when it comes to multi-device game interaction.
- Carlos Martins, Internet's Best Secrets
Smartphones have a way of pulling us away from the present, delving each of us deep into our own little digitally connected worlds. In contrast, Card Table brings people together...

No longer free for iOS? Man, I enjoyed this while it lasted. I even supported with IAP's. How do you expect people to get their friends to use this if it costs money. If anything, make the "table" on iPad $2, and the "hands" on iPhone free. I would gladly pay for the "table", if my friends could play for free. Odd decision IMO.

Hi Thomas. We're on a little bit of a hiatus with The Card Table, and this pricing is temporary. We've been experimenting with it. We're tossing around a few pricing ideas, and we've discussed the one you suggested. We can send you a download code or two for your friends if you send an email to contact@cardtableapp.com.

Any thoughts put into designing specific games for card table? A crib board would be great.

Hello.
In iPad app (table) side, I want a function to rotate the card.
And,when you create a deck (before the start of the game), I want you to add a configuration to include only certain of the soot.
For example, can you easily make deck, including 26 pieces of heart and spade.

App crashes on the iPad only, I've tried deleting and downloading, reset my device, and nothing works. Is there a big that makes the table crash?

The phone says “connects to Skyler’s IPad” but it never stops. I can’t click the 3 dots on the iPad either so I basically cant do anything. :(

Me too. The iOS version is 13.2.
My device is an iPad mini 4.
Please fix this bug.

Love your app, and probably too much of a change to the system, but it would be AMAZING if this could run over multiple locations. Each would have the central iPad, and the 2 (or 3) iPads would sync/mirror over the web, with the players still using their phones.
Any chance???
The demand should be there with the new Social Distancing rules!!
