The one downside is the disconnects. They happen too often and spoil the fun. Tonight was especially frustrating. We played for a couple of hours and never completed a single 100 point series. We just gave up for the night. Over the past I have sent several emails to the feedback support team for help. They respond every time saying they got my email and working on it but the disconnects continue. I’m disappointed … can you fix this? ### 3/5 — No multiplayer *2026-07-27, version 9.4* We played once. Now it immediately says the other player disconnected on both of our devices. Every time ### 4/5 — 5 stars *2026-06-05, version 9.1* I would give it a five star rating if I didn’t have to exit and come back in at the end of a game once you win, you can’t just continue with the next series ### 3/5 — Bad! *2026-05-17, version 8.13* Has flaws that are not addressed! No updates to correct! If I win, the game just keeps going beyond the 7th hand! If computer wins at 7 hands, game is over. Game is over at 7th hand if I am ahead until 7 hand, if computer wins last hand, even if I’m ahead! Bad!!! ### 3/5 — It’s a curated simulation of a game *2025-10-26, version 8.13* The previous version was a bit too easy, so instead of improving the computer opponent, you curated the deal (clearly it’s not random) and occasionally “peeked” at the player’s hand. Moving on to a different implementation of gin rummy that’s an actual game. ### 4/5 — Question *2025-08-27, version 8.13* Sometimes I have under 10in deadwood but the knock button doesn’t appear. Why? ### 1/5 — Speed *2025-05-24, version 8.12* Too fast ### 3/5 — Better with a major needed fix *2025-05-11, version 8.12* THERE IS A MATERIAL FLAW IN CODE. THE ALGO CHOOSES NEXT CARD IN STACK TO BE THE SAME AS THE IMMEDIATELY PREVIOUS DISCARD. SEEMS TO HAPPEN ABOUT 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES. WAY WAY TO HIGH. ### 3/5 — Too many issues *2025-05-10, version 8.11* Been playing for several years. Locked out of level I always play. No fix yet. ### 1/5 — Bogus Opponents *2025-05-02, version 8.10* Live opponents are as fake as robots. Big Gins are won without them even taking their last card. Try to purposely lose a game to them. You almost can’t. This game gets worse every update. I have played this game for a couple years now , but the fraud is too obvious now to even bother. Deleting after this review for good. Just hate being lied to. ### 1/5 — Best Gin Rummy *2025-04-30, version 8.9* Just lost another player for this app. What a joke and What is going on with this app. the transition between players is almost standstill. The cards go in and out of play at a ridiculous snail pace. And now, as of today, I join a table AND THE GAME WONT FREAKING START. Whatever you did recently has wrecked this app. Goodbye. ### 1/5 — Another Useless Update *2025-04-29, version 8.9* Update again that still has it crashing after every online game ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2025-04-28, version 8.9* Something went south. The game is slow and herky jerky. What a sad mess. Used to love it. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-04-26, version 8.8* At the end of each game, the only option is to restart that same game. The score never moves. This has been happening since the last update. PLEASE FIX or I will not play. ### 1/5 — Update ruined game *2025-04-21, version 8.8* This used to be one of my favorite games. Thanks to the new update I am deleting the app. The game play is jerky and no longer smooth. The final straw is I can no longer listen to my podcasts while playing. Since the update, once I open the app, my podcasts stops. I tried playing the podcast after the app was open and once I make a move the podcast stops. I loved this game and have not been able to find another gin rummy game with the same features. Granted, I’m fortunate I am only losing my favorite game and not my life or freedom, still it makes me a bit sad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t like the knocking part *2026-07-27, version 9.4* Don’t like the knocking part of his game everybody keeps on knocking and I win. They won’t even play out to play gin it’s stupid get rid of the knocking part. ### 1/5 — Cannot open menu!!!! *2026-06-09, version 9.1* Idiots changed game so you have to Continue even if you just want to open menu for a new game! Then, they can not understand what they did !!!! ### 1/5 — Revert please *2026-04-15, version 8.13* The game changed on its own from Best Gin Rummy to Straight. How do I change it back? ### 1/5 — Cheat *2026-01-06, version 8.13* If you like playing a computer that gives itself the exact cards they need and gives you nothing, go right ahead. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Terrible update!! *2025-12-13, version 8.13* I used to love this game. The last update ruined it! It cheats horribly! Programmers should be fired for ruining this game!😡😡 ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2025-11-25, version 8.13* The last update completely ruined this app. All movements are extremely jerky and hard on the eyes. And all deals have gotten so quick to end. I went through a lot of Gin apps before I found yours. It was the first one that had great flow and didn’t always end quickly. The name of the game is Gin not Knock! Hate this game now! Have been trying to play again but still the iPad plays to Knock and not gin. I hate that! When I stated playing your game years ago I had already tried many gin games and yours was the only one that played until gin but after your last update it is just like the others! Hate it!!! ### 1/5 — Bent *2025-07-13, version 8.13* So I had to delete another rummy game as it was clearly bent - dozens of online reviews saying just that. I then found this game and was happy, I won more than I lost. Not any more. With the latest update it now wins nearly all the time, this is going to get deleted ### 1/5 — Don’t like the last update *2025-06-12, version 8.13* I have played this game for years and always enjoyed it. The latest update fixed it so that you rarely win. The AI wins and wins fast. No longer the same fun game. I’m done. ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2025-06-08, version 8.13* The last update completely ruined this app. All movements are extremely jerky and had on the eyes. And all deals have gotten so quick to end. I went through a lot of Gin apps before I found yours. It was the first one that had great flow and didn’t always end quickly. The name of the game is Gin not Knock! Hate this game now! ### 1/5 — Game has changed - so sad *2025-06-05, version 8.13* I don’t know what exactly they’ve changed but I am no longer enjoying this game. I used to be able to win an even-steven number of times. Nice challenge. Now I am slaughtered almost every time. Ridiculously so. Heaven forbid if I am the first to score. Then the slaughter is rampant. This is at the same skill level before their last upgraded. Skilled. Same as I’ve been playing since I first began playing the game. I am so disappointed. But I have found a couple other gin rummy games to try out. So sad. But thanks for the time I did enjoy with you all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great!! *2026-06-10, version 9.1* Had some flaws in one of the latest releases, but the Team worked hard to address them and the game works great now!!! ### 5/5 — Great Improvements to the Rookie Player *2026-06-08, version 9.1* I've been playing this game for quite some time. After a recent update, the Rookie AI became surprisingly tough, making it very difficult for beginners like me to win a game. The latest 9.0 update has nicely addressed this issue. The Rookie player now feels like a true beginner-level opponent, which makes the game much more enjoyable and less frustrating for casual players. I can play more games, improve my skills, 7and win more often, just like before. Thanks to the team and making the Rookie level fun and accessible again! ### 5/5 — Totally enjoyable and stress relieving *2026-06-02, version 9.0* Addicted to the relaxation ### 5/5 — Huge multiplayer improvements *2026-06-01, version 9.0* I’ve been enjoying Best Gin Rummy for more than 10 years and still play it every day. It remains my favorite Gin Rummy app thanks to its smooth gameplay, polished animations, and pleasant sound effects that make every game enjoyable. One thing I really appreciate is the thoughtful design. The interface is comfortable to use, even during long playing sessions. The cards, buttons, and layout are well positioned, making gameplay effortless without causing finger strain or fatigue. I primarily play multiplayer games with friends, and the latest 9.0 release is a major improvement. The new invitation system is fantastic. Being able to accept game invitations from anywhere in the app makes connecting with friends much easier and more convenient than before. The biggest improvement, however, is multiplayer stability. In previous versions, we occasionally experienced disconnections during games. Since updating to version 9.0, my friend and I have played multiple games back-to-back without a single disconnect or connection issue. The multiplayer experience now feels seamless, reliable, and polished. This update represents a huge step forward for an already excellent game. Kudos to the development team for listening to player feedback and continuously improving the experience. Highly recommended for both casual players and serious Gin Rummy fans! ### 5/5 — It’s the Best *2026-01-28, version 8.13* This is my favorite of all the gin rummy games I’ve played. ### 5/5 — Why doesn’t the game work? *2025-04-06, version 8.7* Gin Rummy is unusable after you “improved” it. It matches me to another player, but no cards come down. ### 5/5 — Went to pot *2025-03-31, version 8.7* This used to be the best gin rummy app for apple but the latest update destroyed it. ### 5/5 — Every time UPDATE *2025-03-31, version 8.7* Every single time this game is updated the game gets worse! ### 5/5 — Version 8.5 - impossible to connect to player *2025-03-27, version 8.5* Have played this for years, my favorite, ranking is top 2% HOWEVER Version 8.5 is notplayable connecting is dammed near impossible, then Vanessa are dropped after a cold off hands, I filled out a report. Biting back the OLD VERSION ,. PLEASE! ### 5/5 — Update mess up *2025-03-23, version 8.5* This was my fav game I played for many hours Now I almost can’t even get a game going and once I do opponents leave or get disconnected I hope they fix all these glitches soon.
