What is CribEye?

A training companion for cribbage. You're dealt six cards; you decide which two to throw into the crib. CribEye then ranks all 15 possible throws by their expected value and explains how your choice compared to the best one.

Do I need an account or internet?

No. There's no sign-in and no network connection at all. Everything runs on your device, online or off.

Where is my data stored?

Only on your iPhone. Your stats, streaks, review deck and daily history live in the app's private storage and are never sent anywhere. Deleting the app deletes the data. You can also erase everything from Settings β†’ Reset all progress.

How are throws scored?

Each discard is ranked by its expected value β€” the average points it earns across all possible cut cards (hand value) plus the average crib value. The top three score 5 / 3 / 1. Tap β€œHow is this scored?” on any result for the full method.

The app says β€œBEST”, but my cribbage book disagrees.

CribEye ranks by expected hand + crib value. It does not model the pegging (the play), and it treats the opponent's crib throws as random. On very close hands an expert chart may differ by a fraction of a point. Treat the rankings as a strong guide, not gospel on every edge case.

What is the Review deck?

Hands you misplay are saved and brought back on a spaced-repetition schedule until you get them right β€” so your weak spots get the most practice.

How do I reset my progress?

Settings β†’ Reset all progress (with a confirmation). You can also clear just the Review deck from the same screen.
