### 1/5 — Mistake in the game

*2026-08-25, version 5.4*

Double cards in each game

### 5/5 — Great Game!!

*2026-08-09, version 5.4*

I enjoy playing this gin rummy card game.  There are NO ADS and it deserves all 5 stars.  For me, ads are a deal-breaker…. If I see an ad, the app gets immediately deleted.  But, not to worry with this gin rummy game.  You’ll really enjoy it.

### 5/5 — This game

*2026-08-08, version 5.4*

I like this game very much because it makes me amused

### 5/5 — Gin Rummy

*2026-07-26, version 5.4*

Fun. Relaxing and reminds me of when we played cards with my dad when we were kids



Lwith my dad when we were kids

### 4/5 — Enjoy

*2026-07-03, version 5.4*

Enjoy but don’t want to pay for higher levels.

### 5/5 — Where

*2026-06-17, version 5.4*

Where do all these stupid,stupid players come? They will pick up every card I throw out and LOSE constantly. Sorry I don’t get it. I don’t like playing because I can predict the outcome.

### 5/5 — Ed’s Review

*2026-06-09, version 5.4*

I have played 7,500 games of Gin Rummy.  I have found only one flaw.  Sometimes the game will permit 11-12 cards to be dealt…not often, but from time to time it does. I am a reading 96.3%wins.  I enjoy the game, obviously.

Thank you for creating it.

### 3/5 — Accurate Advertising but Buggy

*2026-06-04, version 5.4*

The advertising on the description about no advertising or pausing to watch a clip for 30 seconds before playing another round/game is accurate. There are no advertisements in game at all; Love that. 
However, you can’t leave and come back. Once you leave you must start a whole new game. Also if you lay all your cards in your hand down while not needing to discard so, you managed to make a straight or set (or add to the set/run)  with all of your cards the game won’t let you move on. The game won’t let you take a card back to discard and go out nor does it recognize you have no cards in your hand so the round should be over.

### 5/5 — Cards

*2026-06-03, version 5.4*

Need bigger cards! Thanks

### 1/5 — Fixed

*2026-05-30, version 5.4*

I’ve been playing Gin Rummy for over 60 years. The cards in this App are not dealt randomly. The Bot gets one incredible hand after another. Think you are going to win with 90 vs. 0 points. Think again.
