### 3/5 — Good but two problems!

*2015-10-11*

I like playing this game but it must have some kind of bug because it won't let me change the number of players or the level of expertise. Very annoying! Will delete app if a fix is not made soon.

### 3/5 — Takes skill

*2009-12-02, version 0*

This game is challenging and takes more than a few minutes to win. Very fun though and it's free so why wouldn't you get this app?

### 3/5 — Great job!

*2009-11-26*

I love this application and with the most recent update it' just great!

### 3/5 — Slow

*2009-11-06, version 0*

Again, slow. Very slow. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Great, but...

*2009-10-06, version 0*

I just love this game. And, while I am all for free enterprise and capitalism, I do agree with the other reviewer. 

Since we helped you, essentially Beta Test your app, you shouldn't penalize us by having us "upgrade" to a downgraded app. Bad policy. 

I didn't "upgrade" because of this.

### 2/5 — Bait and Switch

*2009-10-06, version 0*

Loved the game, but now the dev has converted all of its paying customers back to the free version, and is asking for more money from us. 

I'm shocked that Apple allows this. Early customers should be grandfathered in.  Talk about a bait and switch!

### 4/5 — Un ptit jeu bien cool

*2009-10-06*

Reposant et simple d'utilisation !

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2009-10-02, version 0*

What happened to the two player option?

### 3/5 — Great game

*2009-10-01*

I'm so happy to have found this. It's one of few apps where the novelty doesn't wear off in a day. Play it all the time. I do wish you could customize it more. Choose your own background or change the tile colour. Then I'd pay for it.

### 2/5 — Mise à jour à éviter

*2009-10-01*

La dernière mise à jour supprime le jeu à 4, sans même l'indiquer dans le descriptif. Est-ce bien normal ? Est-ce dans un but mercantile afin d'orienter vers la version payante ? C'est dommage d'imposer ce retour en arrière. Du coup, j'ai réinstallé la version précédente...

### 3/5 — Great game but...

*2009-10-01, version 0*

Please get rid of the FREE on the icon. It looks really tacky.

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2009-08-25, version 0*

Awesome game. I can't stop playing. Only thing that would make it better is if you could play with another person and not just the computer.

### 3/5 — Multijoueur

*2009-08-22*

Il faut ajouter l'option multijoueur absolument!

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2013-04-16, version 2.1*

Gee.  Thanks for ruining my favorite game. This was the very first game I got on my very first iPod Touch, and I have played it for years--and that's saying a lot for a game.  It was a great game that I could play for a challenge, or set it so I didn't have to think too hard, but still enjoy.  But in the last update, you ruined it.  Everything I liked about it is gone, including scores.  I know you think I'll just buy the full version, but I won't.  I'm done.

### 1/5 — Horrible update

*2013-04-15, version 2.1*

I have played this game for many years, one of my favorites...although it always had some quirky bugs. This update erased my accumulated score , is almost impossible to beat no matter how great your hand is or playing skills. Now they want you to pay an expensive premium to get more options to play. Extremely disappointed . I'm done with it:-(

### 1/5 — Current update is crap!

*2013-04-11, version 2.1*

Used to be my favorite game, but after this recent update and deleting my score that I've work on for years...I'll be deleting you right away.  Thank you for ruining what used to be a great game!

### 1/5 — zéro

*2009-10-30*

mesquin on ne peut pas faire glisser les numéro de la rangée du bas....pour la payer ? Ca me fait l'effet inverse, me disant qu'elle ne fonctionne pas terrible !à revoir rapidement.

### 1/5 — Love this game! Version 2.0.1 update

*2009-10-11*

I find myself playing this game more than others that I've paid for. The last update added score tracking and it now saves your game when you exit, plus you can choose the AI's skill level. I agree that an undo button would be nice, and wouldn't be surprised to see that in a future update.Version 2.0.1 update: I still love this game, but have reduced my rating to one star. I was suspicious at the sudden appearance of a "free" banner on the icon, so I didn't do the update, and am very happy that I did not. A recent reviewer said that they were "put off by the low ratings at first, but apparently the dev took away some features when he released the paid version. So what." The problem is the way that the developer took away the features. The update page says "some modifications and corrections have been made". Taking away features so that you can then charge the people who gave your app 5 stars and recommended it to everyone they knew is neither a modification nor a correction. I would have been more than happy to pay for an upgraded app, but if this is the way the developer is going to treat the people who tried to make his app successful, then I will leave the little red 1 on my App Store icon, and stop telling people to support this developer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for a free upgrade. I'm just asking for honesty on the developer's side. I have other apps that specifically spelled out the fact that they were moving to a paid version, so if you wanted to keep your functionality on your current free version, don't upgrade. Most of those I actually paid to upgrade. If the developer chooses to change his policy, I will happily return my review to 5 stars and pay to upgrade.

### 1/5 — Gave us the shaft

*2009-10-03, version 0*

This WAS a great game......then the final update "minor changes and problems fixed" took away multi player and other perks from us.  They also put the FREE on the icon.... All because they went pro for $1.99....... that's fine but don't give it to people who play this game for hours evey day and then take it away from them..... Charge the new customers who decide to purchase it......

### 1/5 — Still painfully slow!!!

*2009-08-20, version 0*

It use to be my favorite game but now until it gets updated with some speed...no thanks! :(

### 1/5 — Nul

*2009-08-19*

Les cartes sont trop petites, il n'est vraiment pas évident d'y jouet. Mal fait. Dommage connaissant le jeu.

### 1/5 — Thank You for the update!

*2009-08-13, version 0*

Now the game is perfect!  Slowness resolved!

### 1/5 — Sooooo slow

*2009-08-06, version 0*

Please go back to before the update. It is so frustrating and painfully slow.

### 5/5 — SLOW - PAINFULLY SLOW

*2011-01-02, version 0*

Previous versions were great!!!The new one is painfully slow and I don't play it anymore... Please change back as it WAS one of my favorite games..... Ouch to the new update.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2009-11-26*

Lots of concentration needed! A game that keeps u occupied! Plus it's free! :)

### 5/5 — It's a great implementation

*2009-10-10*

I like this version of Rummicub becuase it's fast, and the computer opponent is skilled. I was put off by the low ratings at first, but apparently the dev took away some features when he released the paid version. So what. This version is you vs the computer, and it delivers a good game.

### 5/5 — Bonheur

*2009-10-02*

Après cinq minutes de prise en main, des heures de plaisir. Il a pris le pas sur les autres jeux de cartes que j'avais   !

### 5/5 — Отличная игра!

*2009-10-02*

В AppStore редко такие хорошие логические игрушки встречаются. Я бы даже сказала очень редко. Из последнего хорошего логического помню только Lock'n'Roll.

### 5/5 — Awsomestt game everrr
