### 4/5 — Fun and easy

*2025-08-10, version 3.6.5*

The game is fun to play, but you can beat it every time you play. More challenging would be better.

### 3/5 — Is this game rigged?

*2024-03-24, version 3.6.5*

This would be a great game except that it seems to be rigged to permit only a certain percentage of wins irrespective of what level of difficulty one plays.  When I play the Beginner level,  I win cca 60% of games played; when I play Intermediate level I still win cca 60% and again the same cca 60% playing Expert.  This does not make sense!

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2023-02-26, version 3.6.5*

This computer always have one or most of the time two jockers.
Impossible to win, most of the time.  Ridiculous.

### 4/5 — Needs an update

*2021-11-21, version 3.6.5*

Up until a month or two ago this has been a five star app. I have used it for many many years with no problems ever. But now with the iPad OS updates, it is starting to crash. It will freeze, and a hard reset doesn’t change anything. I restart the iPad and it comes back to the frozen screen. The only solution is to delete the app and reinstall it. This isn’t a huge deal because there aren’t that many preferences to reset, but I lose my stats. I hope there’s an update in the works. Thanks!

### 4/5 — J’adore

*2020-02-26, version 3.6.5*

J’adore le jeu ! Je peux y jouer longtemps!  Un bémol .... je déteste le fait que « Romi » garde toujours les cartes sourires pour quand il termine !!! Jamais avant..... :(

### 4/5 — Great Rummikub

*2017-02-11, version 3.6.4*

This has replaced my former favorite app. They updated it and ruined it! This has a couple of small flaws but you get used to that. As best I can tell, this is as good as you can get right now.

### 3/5 — Bien...

*2017-01-04, version 3.6.4*

Très scolaire ce rummy , peu de variantes , de modes, simple dans ses fonctionnalités, y a mieux et je l'ai trouvé !!!!, mais fallait chercher tout de même 🤓🤓🤓.

### 2/5 — Computer spielt unrealistisch

*2015-12-27, version 3.6.2*

Im Expertenmodus hat man praktisch keinerlei Chance zu gewinnen. Teilweise werden vom Computer 14 manchmal sogar 17 Steine auf einmal gelegt -ziemlich unrealistisch!!!!
Wer das Spiel mal mit echten Steinen auf dem Tisch gespielt hat, wird mir zustimmen.
Daß man im Expertenmodus die verbliebenen  Steine von römischen die nicht mehr sehen kann, ist zusätzlich erschwerend.

### 4/5 — Great game but one suggestion

*2015-08-13, version 3.6.2*

I have played this on my computer for years and also love the app. My only complaint is that there is no option for a wildcard. I have kept my old computer version without the wildcard since I prefer to play without. Would love for that to be an option!

### 2/5 — Plays well. Irritating Controls. Lacks polish but a good game.

*2015-06-27, version 3.6.2*

It's a shame. It plays a good game of Rummycube but is indifferent to good user interface design.

Illogically laid out controls and missing key displays (like how many remaining tiles opponents have) make this a three star app. It's 5-stars on play and 2-stars on usability.

More points...

Double tapping a tile will move it into a logical position...or into a random one, making the feature pretty worthless.

The arrangement of e  cleanup buttons is more random than organized.

The developer clearly cares more about adding raw features than on making the playing experience a pleasing, attractive one. The app feels like it written  by a brilliant 13 year old.

### 4/5 — Upset and suggestion

*2015-05-13, version 3.6.2*

I hope the programmers read this since there is no place to write to them directly (frustrating). When playing with different numbers of opponents it would be most logical to have different score boards!  Thanks. Otherwise I love the game.

### 2/5 — Schlechte Umsetzung

*2015-04-18, version 3.6.2*

Leider nach kurzer Zeit langweilig. Man verliert unrealistisch oft, das weiß man wenn man bereits lange Jahre Romy im richtigen Leben gespielt hat. Dieses System sollte dringend überarbeitet werden. Schade!

### 4/5 — Fast perfekt

*2015-01-24, version 3.6.2*

Schöner wäre es, wenn ich sehen könnte, wieviele Steinchen Romi noch hat. Ansonsten sehr gute Umsetzung.

### 4/5 — Not bad but a flaw

*2014-06-05, version 3.6.1*

This iPad app is to play the game of Rummikub. It is not bad except for 1 serious flaw. You cannot see how many tiles the opponent has left (at least I cannot find the setting). So you do not know if they are close to going out. This is quite frustrating.

It lets you set up your "rack" sorted by number of suit but if you choose suit, you cannot go back to number as far as I can tell (and it places new tiles at the end instead of in order).  You can clean up the layout with a click on the broom, so it is easy to make room for new tile layouts.

### 2/5 — No hay forma de ganarle a Romi

*2014-04-01, version 3.6*

Cuando juegas contra el mismo Romi, éste generalmente sale primero iniciando el juego, obtiene la mayoría de los comodines y las fichas más fáciles de acomodar, por lo que jamás puedes vencerlo en el total de juegos.

### 4/5 — Romi for iPad

*2014-01-13, version 3.6*

I bought this program when it first came out on the Mac and this is equal to the Mac version.
I like the fact that you can get the tiles onto the screen either by dragging or by simply touch the tile and it moves for you.  This version has more options than the Mac version and at £1.99 is great value

### 5/5 — Genau so!!!

*2013-10-14, version 3.6*

Spiel gegen das IPad! Macht richtig Spaß! Variationen sehr gut durchdacht. Danke, mehr davon!!

### 4/5 — Romi freezing

*2013-10-08, version 3.6*

Great game but freezing on tiles on occasion since uprade.

### 3/5 — Crashes every few games very frustrating

*2013-07-02, version 3.5*

Great game, but they need to fix crashing

### 1/5 — Müll

*2021-02-01, version 3.6.5*

Mit nichts zu vergleichen, auch dir Regeln bringen keine Hilfe.

### 1/5 — Bufala

*2013-02-03, version 3.5*

Questo gioco non vale nulla, dice che si puó giocare a ramino,machiavelli. Ma chi lo ha scritto ha mai giocato a machiavelli???? In quel gioco non é prevista apertura minima e si possono muovere tutte le carte a prescindere da chi le ha giocate. Mi spiegate come si fa a ricordare tutte le carte giocate da noi salvo prendere appunti????? È ovvio che il computer vince lui ricorda tutto. Non compratelaaaa!!!!

### 1/5 — Pessima app

*2012-12-22, version 3.5*

purtroppo questa app non vale nemmeno i 9 centesimi del totale, la sconsiglio a tutti!!!!

### 1/5 — Update????

*2012-01-17, version 3.4.1*

Ja, wann wird das denn mal gemacht, damit man wieder spielen kann?

### 1/5 — Warnung

*2011-11-27, version 3.4.1*

Wer nicht mehr spielen will ist hier genau richtig.
Update zerschießt das ganze Programm.

### 1/5 — Update

*2011-10-26, version 3.4*

All I'm getting is error...please fix!,

### 1/5 — Trouble

*2011-10-23, version 3.4*

Just downloaded the update, and it's screwing up.  All kinds of tiles are flying everywhere! 
It says error, and it won't go off.
I love this game -- please fix!!!!!!
You'll get your five stars back when you fix it!
Hurry please!

### 1/5 — Do not update

*2011-10-22, version 3.4*

Since recent update today I been getting nothing but errors, and when I pick a tile/card it gives me multiple ones. Please fix

Also developer will not let me leave a review unless I give it 4-5 stars only.  Apple needs ban this practice...

I paid money for this app my review should be seen, if apple keeps this up with this practice it will turn into a free for all like the droid apps will basically take over your cell/iPad and do what they like.

### 1/5 — Nicht updaten!

*2011-10-18, version 3.4*

Ich habe heute, am Erscheinungsdatum des Updates 18.10.11, gleich die "überarbeitete" Version auf mein ipad1/ios5.0 installiert. Jetzt geht gar nichts mehr. Das Programm hat automatisch die Chips herausgelegt, dabei grasse Fehler/unerlaubte Reihen gelegt. Jetzt stellt das Prgm die Chips nicht zurück. Somit läßt sich das Spiel nicht verändern oder beenden = deadlock! Auch ein Neustart vom Programm und vom ipad hilft nicht. Also deinstalliert und neu geladen. Geht auch nicht. Maske mit Info: Fehler 127 erscheint.
Bitte schnell beheben. Geht gar nicht!

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2010-06-25, version 0*

Do not purchase this app...it is very misleading!! It doesn't allow multi-players to play. It is not worth paying $2.99 to play against the computer!!!

### 5/5 — Félicitations pour le jeu

*2022-02-08, version 3.6.5*

Bonjour j’adore le jeu, est-ce que c’est possible de jouer avec deux iPad en même temps sur le même jeux.

### 5/5 — Please update

*2021-05-02, version 3.6.5*

I love this game. Please don’t abandon it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-05-09, version 3.6.5*

My favorite rummikub

### 5/5 — Love

*2018-10-12, version 3.6.5*

Have played for several years.  Just like the table game.  Great way too relax.

### 5/5 — 😀

*2017-11-14, version 3.6.4*

J'adore ce jeu et son côté artisanal lui donne tout son charme. Il est très agréable à jouer et difficile de le quitter. Merci pour votre excellent travail depuis toutes ces années.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2016-09-28, version 3.6.4*

This is so easy to play, even easier on a touch screen computer than it is on a desktop or laptop, where you use a mouse.
My one criticism is that the settings button is in a position where I accidentally touch it all the time, and I wish it was at the top of the screen.
Also, once you've finished a game, I think you should be able to go right to starting a new game, without having to tell the app this.  If there are no more moves, what's the point of asking if you want to continue or start a new game?

### 5/5 — Keine Abbrüche, keine Werbung - genial

*2016-09-21, version 3.6.4*

Ein Spiel gegen das I-pad. Alle Buttons werden erklärt. Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten das Spiel zu spielen. 
Mich begeistert das saubere Handwerk. Alles funktioniert. Keine Abbrüche. Ich bestimme wie ich spielen will. Mit Zeitlimits oder ohne, gegen einen oder mehr Gegner. .. Für mich hat sich die Investition von 2.99Euro gelohnt. Ich freue mich, wenn ich mehr Glück habe als "Romi" und die schnellere Lösung.
Den einzigen Wunsch, den ich hätte wäre, zu sehen wieviele Karten "Romi" noch hat. Absolut empfehlenswert!

### 5/5 — Lise

*2015-11-03, version 3.6.2*

Excellent jeu. J'adore.

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu

*2014-05-13, version 3.6.1*

Simplicité, sobriété, tout est parfait. Bravo et merci pour ce Romi pour iPAd très agréable à jouer.

### 5/5 — Romi

*2014-05-11, version 3.6.1*

Romi is just like Runnikub that I used to play with tiles. It is much better and more addictive as I can play against  one, two or three VERY smart opponents.  The interface is clean and very intuitive and much more fun than card games - I have it both on my iPad and iPhone and find it a wonderful diversion.

I have had some questions for the developer and he has been VERY responsive.
