(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 The graphics are verrrry outdated, very basic, very computerized-looking.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. ### 2/5 — Unrealistic *2026-02-18, version 6.0.14* The AI doesn’t outplay you, it’s just luckier than you. Lame. ### 2/5 — Irksome bug *2025-10-30, version 5.7.18* Great app of a classic game. Problem is if I knock before sorting I lose points. Honestly you can’t fix that? ### 5/5 — Last of the o Ads Guys *2025-07-09, version 5.7.18* Yup. Seriously. No ads. And things other games Harte for they include. You’ll see lol ### 5/5 — So far so awesome! *2025-07-04* 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. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-07-04, version 5.7.18* Easy to navigate, easy to understand. Nice to choose a level that works for you. Reasonable price to get rid of adds. ### 5/5 — Fast *2025-07-03, version 5.7.18* 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! ### 3/5 — Fun game, but *2025-06-30, version 5.7.18* 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. ### 4/5 — need multiplayer and total scores *2025-06-26, version 5.7.18* Excellent AI, this is the only gin rummy i’ve played that isn’t easy to beat every time. And it is the only gin rummy with Hollywood scoring on the internet, which is how gin is scored at most clubs. I would have given it five stars if it had multiplayer mode or even if it tallied total final score with box bonuses (hands won), game bonuses, shutout bonuses, and if it multiplied final scores times a user-determined dollar value per point. I’ll change my rating to 5 stars if i get either one. ### 4/5 — Random dealing of cards *2025-06-22, version 5.7.18* Recently I found that there is a preference for my opposing player. There seem to be many more occasions where the opposing player wins after only one or two card pics. Or even no pics at all. Meaning that they are given a winning hand frequently. I’ve been playing this game a long time, it was one of my favourite. I know what random card dealing looks like, but recently, that’s not the case. ### 5/5 — Great game great passtime *2025-06-04, version 5.7.18* Love playing it and its helping me get better ### 3/5 — Good but not great *2025-06-04, version 5.7.18* The game is good but has a problem. If those of us with fat fingers inadvertently push the wrong button there is no way to recall the move. Discarding is so fast and there is no way to go back. When discarding there should be a way to recall your most recent move. I would add an extra star if that would be corrected. ### 3/5 — AI CHEATS *2025-05-14, version 5.7.18* I enjoy the game but it’s way to convenient that when I’m winning and suddenly the AI gets everything that they need to win the next 5 rounds to win the game. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2025-04-15, version 5.7.18* I do like the play. However, I do not like my cards to be sorted for me and I have no way to change them. I also do not like being forced to knock when I do want to go that route. I realize it is AI but I need to make my own decisions. It’s not a challenge. ### 3/5 — Not realistic *2025-04-14, version 5.7.18* When AI player is dealt out repeatedly, it defies any real game where cards are shuffled. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — CHEAT *2025-12-16, version 5.7.18* 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… ### 1/5 — CHEAT *2025-12-13* Intelligence can only be a factor after the cards are fairly dealt. When AI opens most hands with 5-7 made, it’s cheating.

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. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2025-06-08, version 5.7.18* Your and the AI player are both dealt very similar hands so both are both looking for the same cards. Its not random. ### 1/5 — Unfair AI game play *2025-04-18, version 5.7.18* “AI” will have meld within a couple of draws again and again while I have had none over the course of several hands I’ve played. Let’s me know melds are being dealt out. Not worth playing. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2025-02-27, version 5.6.4* This is by far the worst gin rummy game app I have played. I started on easy which it was I then moved to the next level and I can’t win a game. I can tell I will lose at the start as soon as I see my cards. I get a garbage hand I know I’m losing quick sure enough the ai draws one card and knocks every time. If I win one hand by a few point the ai always catches me with big cards in my hand. Then goes on a 4 hand win streak and gets so far ahead of me I can’t win since if I do win a hand it’s only worth a few points not enough to matter. The ai almost always only draws 1-3 times before it wins while I’m dealt a garbage hand almost every time. Game is not worth playing. I will be deleting this app. Oh and ive been playing gin rummy for 45 years. ### 1/5 — AI in Moderate is ridiculous *2025-02-15, version 5.6.4* Played 25 games against computer on moderate, I won ONE game. That’s too ridiculous and very a lucky AI. Deleted it. Ads weren’t too bad. ### 1/5 — REALLY ZERO STARS *2024-03-04, version 4.6.5* The "House" has a ridiculous advantage, making it very frustrating to play. ### 1/5 — NO *2023-03-27, version 4.2.0* too controlled. ### 1/5 — Rigged *2023-01-25, version 4.1.2* When you play the top level the game is rigged. The AI gets cards dealt that would never happen randomly. Very annoying, ruins the game. I recommend finding a different gin rummy game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like it *2026-08-02, version 6.1.23* I like it ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-17, version 6.1.14* I like the customization and gameplay and smart ai ### 5/5 — Best gin rummy app *2026-04-23, version 6.0.14* By far the best one that has the straight gin game mode ### 5/5 — Pure Gin Rummy *2026-03-17, version 6.0.14* 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. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-04, version 6.0.14* No ads. Basic game. Simple and fun. I appreciate the no bells and whistles of this game! ### 5/5 — Nice game but I would like options *2026-01-18, version 6.0.2* 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 ### 5/5 — Best Rummy out there. *2025-12-26, version 6.0.2* Really good rummy. ### 5/5 — Straight Gin *2025-11-10, version 5.7.18* 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!!! ### 5/5 — So far so awesome! *2025-10-24, version 5.7.18* 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 ### 5/5 — BEST GIN GAME *2025-08-20, version 5.7.18* I was hesitant to try because other gin games left me cold. This game continues to engage me. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
