### 3/5 — Questionable Play

*2024-10-08*

I really loved this game until I noticed several 
suspicious trends. I had gin and  before I could 
call it,  my computer opponent  plucked one of 
my matching cards from my hand  and laid it 
down as if I discarded it.  I could not  believe my eyes.  
The computer also seemed to  hold certain cards 
that I needed  and we would  run out of cards.  
This happened a lot.  Another time, the game ended 
due to running out of cards. The computer player 
laid down it’s  hand and it had gin but never called 
It.   The game ended and started again.  I used to 
play this game for hours but when my 
card was taken out of my hand, I had to stop.

### 2/5 — Not honest

*2024-08-13, version 1.17*

At times it’s fine, however, at other times it does not play with a full deck. The last game played had 3 cards missing. Think I’ll try to find a more honest game.

### 4/5 — Error in play

*2023-11-22*

Occasionally, the app does not see a play available in the hand and there’s no way to identify it while playing. I had a Gin, but it wouldn’t separate my queens to allow the straights

**Developer response:** This has been corrected.
Appreciate the feedback

### 2/5 — Last update

*2022-09-12, version 1.12*

Since the last update, the computer fails to recognize rummy’s. It will discard the wrong card when it does recognize a rummy. Example, today I had a big rummy but it discarded the card that would have made the big rummy.  Further update, I discovered that the problem is when you have the sort on custom.  It doesn’t recognize gins and there is no button for you to do it manually.

### 4/5 — Relaxing

*2022-06-11*

I love playing the game.  No real issues except 1.  Often I close out of a game before it’s completed and then when I sign back in I’m forced to forfeit the game and start a new one. Just frustrating but overall enjoy it.

**Developer response:** Hi KJ, 
Appreciate the feedback. We'll check into this.

### 4/5 — Help

*2022-04-09*

Love this game but after the last update ever game you win to easy.  The opponent only has three cards matched and never goes gin. It was always a challenge now something has happened.  
Thank you

**Developer response:** Hi Elclrc, 
Please try latest update, this issue should be addressed.

### 3/5 — after update

*2022-04-05, version 1.5*

it doesn’t work at all.

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2022-01-09, version 1.3*

I would play this game a lot if it would stop having glitches.  Cards come down and stall out or go completely off the screen. Otherwise, I love playing it.

### 4/5 — Needs a back button

*2021-09-14*

Fat fingers and small screen -more than  every so often the wrong card discards and there doesn’t seem to be a way to reverse it?
Otherwise  fun stuff!

### 2/5 — Too any pop ups

*2021-09-08, version 1.3*

Would be great if the ads didn’t keep popping up at the bottom and driving one crazy

### 3/5 — Great game but...

*2021-01-05, version 1.2*

Enjoy the game but since the last update the drawn card hides behind cards in your hand or off screen with no way to discard the drawn card or even know you have drawn.  Prior to this issue rating would be a five star but not now.

### 3/5 — The advertising on the bottom

*2021-01-05, version 1.2*

Can’t stand the banner on the bottom.  I will soon delete the game

### 4/5 — Fun

*2020-12-26, version 1.1*

Fun

### 2/5 — Why can’t you leave well enough alone

*2020-12-25, version 1.1*

Every time you up-date this game you screw ivy up. Up until now I have been enjoying this game now that you’ ve insisted on up-dating it’s so slow I can’t stand it. Fix the speed or put it back the way it was or I’m done & I’ll delete this game.

Update..now when I win a game it says I lost.

### 1/5 — So many ads

*2023-06-17, version 1.14*

It’s unplayable with the amount of ads and pop up’s.

### 1/5 — What?

*2023-06-17, version 1.14*

You took a perfectly designed gin rummy game and ruined it with the ads for removing ads! This was THE best gin rummy game in the App Store. I know, because I’ve tried them ALL. when is the constant barrage going to stop so I can play again?

### 1/5 — New format

*2022-03-30, version 1.4*

I cannot do anything but gin,, it will not let me knock with 10 and under

### 1/5 — Omg too slow

*2022-03-30, version 1.4*

You guys took the speed button away, and now it’s too freakin slow…please but it back

### 1/5 — Very poor unlessEasy is your thing.

*2021-06-22, version 1.3*

If you like a challenge this App is a joke. Playing Hard level, every third hand the AI player wins after 2 Turns. 2 TURNS!! Otherwise it wins 68% of the time. Medium Level is too easy … there’s just no in-between

### 1/5 — WAS great

*2021-02-10, version 1.2*

Now ruined by new adverts !

### 1/5 — Update is horrible

*2021-02-09, version 1.2*

Ever since it updated to “dark” it’s horrible. Can’t play if you don’t have internet anymore, the ad at the top is very distracting, there is no score. No matter when you click on the score, it’s blank. It’s blank at the end of the game as well. If you rotate your phone & rotate it back, the cards don’t line up.

### 1/5 — New version is soooo bad

*2021-01-17, version 1.2*

Constantly freezes after several games.  Cards drawn disappear from the screen and are inaccessible for discarding.  Was very good before new version but now is unusable after several games.

### 1/5 — Review

*2020-12-27, version 1.1*

Cards too small, hands too small

### 5/5 — Gin Rummy Dark

*2022-04-06*

I enjoyed the game before the update but now the game is frozen and won’t open. Looks like it created a bug instead of getting rid of them! The new version is now not separating my runs or books from the rest of the cards  and all my card values stay in the deadwood. If my opponent has less “deadwood point than I do and he/she gets the win even though I should have zero points in my deadwood file. It’s very frustrating!

### 5/5 — Gin rummy

*2022-03-30, version 1.4*

Fun and addictive

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2021-10-27*

Great to be able to play a game without having to watch a 30 second (or more) advertising video in between games.  Very refreshing!!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent gin rummy game

*2021-10-25, version 1.3*

This is my favorite card game to play

### 5/5 — Congratulations to you both

*2021-08-06*

Good luck

### 5/5 — Very slow

*2021-01-06, version 1.2*

This new version is very slow and jerky on my iPad.  Cannot play it anymore!

### 5/5 — Gin rummy

*2018-08-16*

Easy, yet challenging.  You can pick up the idea of the game quickly, although I did not initially understand that I didn’t want to get stuck with a lot of high cards.  The object is to make “books”, either 3 or 4 of a kind, or a run of cards in the same suit.  You get involved in leaving yourself open to both options.  You can KNOCK if you feel your hand is stronger than your opponent, when you have 10 or fewer points left unmatched.  If you are wrong, your opponent gets 25points plus the difference in #!

### 5/5 — what?

*2017-06-29, version 1.0*

i liked this app but had to delete it--virus!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-10-25, version 1.0*

An interesting game. The interface is user-friendly design, dynamic sound. Very good!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2016-10-06, version 1.0*

Pretty nice app. I love that it has four versions of the Gin game, so you can always play other versions if you are tired of the previos. The app is well designed and have a nice soundtrack.
