Great game
I like the customization and gameplay and smart ai
Very Reasonable!
The word “reasonable” isn’t exactly the kind of glowing praise both devs and potential users are looking for, but in this context it’s VERY high praise. (1) The ads are reasonable; you can choose between small banner ads during game play or full video ads in between hands. I chose banner ads. Duh. They don’t cover or distract from game play. (2) The asking price to go ad-free is INCREDIBLY REASONABLE at $2.99. (3) That $2.99 is a ONE-TIME FEE. Not a stupid subscription. (4) The A.I. opponent is also quite reasonable. (Unlike many I’ve tried.) The win/loss ratio is close enough to real life play so that you can actually ENJOY playing. Other Gin Rummy apps I’ve tried (and there are many!) have an unrestricted A.I. opponent that goes Gin at least every other hand. Zaps the fun right out of playing.
The graphics are verrrry outdated, very basic, very computerized-looking. The UI/graphics could use a serious update. BUT… *because of the other very REASONABLE points I mentioned, I’m going to purchase the ad-free option.* I’m always happy to support an app/dev that doesn’t ruin an app by excessive, obnoxious ads or high priced subscription models.

Best gin rummy app
By far the best one that has the straight gin game mode
Pure Gin Rummy
If you want just a pure gin rummy game this is the one. No bells and whistles to get in the way of your game. I’ve played 50-60 games and find the AI on this app is quite fair. I’ve won a little more than lost but I have the challenge level set to medium.
I despise ads and have been searching for a GR game where I can still purchase the removal of ads. Not only does this app allow you to do so, the price is very reasonable.
If you are an old school purist, this GR app is the one for you.

Love it
No ads. Basic game. Simple and fun. I appreciate the no bells and whistles of this game!
Unrealistic
The AI doesn’t outplay you, it’s just luckier than you. Lame.
Nice game but I would like options
It’s such a good game but the only thing I want it to change is it to have options on levels cause when I started playing I lost every single match that’s alll I have to say but not much more besides this I a great game
Best Rummy out there.
Really good rummy.
CHEAT
Intelligence can only be a factor after the cards are fairly dealt. When AI opens most hands with 5-7 made, it’s cheating. Just played where the deepest we went into the deck, was 4 cards and I had zero melds or runs during and that is not that unusual. If you drop down to medium the game slows down too much. Originally I was looking for a challenge but all I got was cheated. It’s so friggin frustrating. You’re looking for a challenge and a fun game but all you get is a setup where AI WINS and not because AI is smarter but because the program is set to cheat. A monkey could win with 5-7 made off the deal.
Addendum: I decided to continue using the app as I like the look and I work around the crooked dealing. BUT this morning I bought it changing cards. So I replayed the hand and it did it again but an ad popped up so I couldn’t get a screenshot of it. Changed a 5♣️ to a 5❤️ and that got it below 10. Sad…

As bad as all the others
At least this app has very few ads. But that’s all I can say for it.
Baffled by the high rating of this game. I’m in my fifties, I’ve been playing gin since I can remember. To be humble, I started the game on “medium”. I played twenty hands before I laid down prior to the opponent. It often laid down in less than six exchanges. After another twenty in much the same vein, I tried “easy”. Did the machine play less well? Who knows, because suddenly I was getting what I needed so quickly it wouldn’t have mattered. So I went back to “medium”, altered the rules to a higher target, no knock, no line bonus & now the “artificial intelligence” is getting big gin every third hand, often in less than six cards, so the overall game is still just as short. There is no AI here. There is only what every single card game in the App Store has: deck manipulation to create the illusion of a challenge. Probably because no one at the software company has ever played cards or read a book on game theory or basic strategy for this game. So the only way they can create difficulty levels is to cheat the deck.

Straight Gin
I really really hate playing Gin where you can knock!!! It just takes the fun out of the game & you have to listen to so many more ads because knocking quite often ends the hand so fast.
So thank you for creating this app with Straight Gin!!!
So thank you for creating this app with Straight Gin!!!
Irksome bug
Great app of a classic game. Problem is if I knock before sorting I lose points. Honestly you can’t fix that?
So far so awesome!
Well, so far, the only ads that I see is for themselves to sell, you know stuff within their own game, which of course duh. But I haven’t had the middle of a game interrupted for an ad to be played or once we’re finally done with just one hand, they start another ad. I have not seen that as of yet but yet I’ve only played Like a couple hands. I haven’t even played a full game yet.. But also what I like. Is they automatically give you upfront like I think four or five different types of decks game boards, color combinations, Card backings, etc. to choose from right at the beginning so that’s cool so so far so good on loving it actually. update,
October 2025: Although they have remained being awesome for not having ads throughout their game or at the beginning or end or at any time there’s no annoying ads the only ads that you see are their own ads and they’re just quick pop-ups and you can close them out.
However something that has started to happen and has probably happened to me now seven or eight times in the last month to the point where this is no longer my go to App for playing Gin Rummy because it freezes a lot now. It has probably frozen on me like it is right now I can’t play the game right now I just tried again, but it’s probably frozen. I mean 8 to 10 times in the last month so I don’t know what the Hells going on all the sudden I’ve of course it’s been updated. My iOS has been updated to the latest. You know I have a virus scan I have Virus Protection you know there’s done everything and then some for my due diligence on my end

BEST GIN GAME
I was hesitant to try because other gin games left me cold. This game continues to engage me.

Great Game
Easy to navigate, easy to understand. Nice to choose a level that works for you. Reasonable price to get rid of adds.
Fast
Played on another app for years got tired of having to buy token almost every month. I’m playing hard and it seems competitive with my level, so I will continue to enjoy playing, I’m a young 78!
Fun game, but
I play a lot of Gin. This game abd tiger abd real card games. Statistics show this is the only tune I watch the house go GIN at second move - regularly, And regularly turn over the house’ turn over their last card which is the one I was waiting for. These plays could happen in any game, but never do as frequently as they do in GIN. I’ll keep checking to see if hands are it longer prearranged.
