Pros and cons of Tong-itsXtreme app for iPhone and iPad

Tong-itsXtreme app good for

this app is awesome and make me addicted to it. just one thing, please fix this app i cant open it again. there must be a bug...
I only have a question why is it that tong its extreme stopped functioning in my iPad 2 I bought it 115 yen. I really like playing tong its. Hoping for your action.
Its more fun if have online or bluetooth, thats possible? Great app salamat pooooooo...!!!!!!
I always cant get in, I paid for it so I can play it whenever I want :( Keeping on unfunctioning through out the day, just letting me play for a couple of hours.
This is the only card game that I know how to play and Im enjoying it. My fellow Pinoys will certainly enjoy this but newcomers will find this game interesting as well. The app isnt flawless. Like any other app, it will crash once in a while but the game is still fun to play with (Im sure the developers will fix this issue). I hope there will be an update where we can use the winnings to buy background design, music, deck design, tables etc. Also multiplayer functionality will also be a plus.
Finally it feels like I am with my friends again playing cars under the mango tree. Looking forward playing this online. Wilfred -Italy
