This isn’t Gin Rummy… This is knock Rummy. Unreal!!
Good design but Limitations!
I've played Gin Rummy card games in apps for about 10 years. Just got this one. I like the calm graphics that don't pressure you to play as quickly as some.
Limitations after my first week:
1) Today, it has generated the exact game I played yesterday! I had to work thru it again to get to a new game. A few other games have also started out familiarly (I remember the scenarios and my goals with the hands), but I may have made new choices that took me down a differing path. Still, not enjoyable!
2) It is portrait orientation only. This makes the cards in my hand very skinny and I have several times pulled out the wrong card (even a melded card next to the hand!!! Oh NO! And no "back button"!!) several times. Very frustrating. I have learned to pull a card up and make sure of it before playing, but other games in landscape mode do not have this problem and extra step that distracts concentration.
3) Even though the card movements are graceful and more relaxing (good), the appearance doesn't have as many nice choices as other apps.
4) Also, the speed doesn't pressure you (good), but the prompt "it's your turn" comes up while I'm still looking at what to play! It does fade quickly, but I see no way to turn this interruption off.
Sorry if any of these are just new user error, but perhaps these things could be included in design modifications?
For everything I like about it, THANK YOU! I'll keep trying it a while longer.

Not random
There is nothing random about this game. If you watch closely you will see what I mean. It’s about as random as a clock telling time.
Fun with GIN RUMMY
