You have 2 or 3 on your board, they have your matches, but they lay theirs all out at once, after several turns of collecting 20 or more. Used to have a better chance at winning… instead they win almost every time now. Is this AI at work? ### 2/5 — Fun but not smooth *2026-08-09, version 4.13.10* Game is exactly like the original board game except clunky and not smooth. Can spend much of you allotted time getting pieces from rack to playing board. Another quirk that should be fixed is if you get caught moving tiles when the timer runs out, even if you’ve already completed an earlier legal move, your entire turn is reset and you are penalized another tile. Moving tiles into complicated series of plays was part of the fun of the board game. Sorry I spent $6.99. ### 4/5 — Nothing New *2026-07-18, version 4.13.0* I’ve had this game for over 5 years and it’s never been updated. You have canned responses that have never changed. It’s the same sayings and the exact same emojis. It’s time to add new sayings and faces. BORING! ### 4/5 — Rules are different than the real game *2026-07-17, version 4.13.0* Jokers can be manipulated differently. ### 2/5 — Bots *2026-06-13, version 4.13.0* The blasted hits are back. Please sort it out. They ruin fair play . They stopped for a while but are back now. ### 4/5 — Very Good but needs some tweaks *2026-05-18, version 4.13.0* I have enjoyed this game and am happy that it is no available for mobile devices so I can play anywhere. The only issues I have with it is that the ‘undo’ option basically resets your turn by undoing every single move you have made. Most ‘undo’ options on a game simply undo a single move at a time. This becomes very frustrating when I’m playing against the AI and have maneuvered around several tiles in an effort to try and play as many of mine as possible during a turn and try to go back just a couple of steps only to have everything tile I have moved on the board and from my rack go back to the state it was in at the very beginning of my turn. They need to change the ‘undo’ option so that it only goes back one single move at a time or have two different ‘undo’ options where they keep the existing option that resets everything back and another one that goes back one step at a time. I have a version of this game I play on my PC that has the single undo that makes it so much easier. My only other complaint is that the speed in which it takes the AI to play their turn is very slow and should be much faster than this. I realize that some people may want the option to see each turn play out slowly but others like myself just want to get back to my turn so perhaps create an option in the settings that allows you to adjust the speed of AI turns so a user can set it to their preference. If these tweaks could be made to the game I feel it would make it so much better and would garner a 5 star rating from me. ### 2/5 — Déçue *2026-05-17* Oui je suis vraiment déçu de votre jeu payant Je joue depuis pas mal de temps et avec des bons scores Et voilà que depuis quelques temps je perds mes points à une allure folle ! Je ne suis plus motivée pour continuer C’est de l’arnaque J’espère que vous allez prendre compte de mon mécontentement De plus je lis que je ne suis pas la seule à être mécontente !!!! ### 3/5 — I would love this game except for one huge issue *2026-03-26, version 4.12.12* It is completely ridiculous that when you run out of time your entire play goes back to your rack. I literally just went through 16 tiles and there was one play at the end that I wasn’t finished with and instead of just taking that one away it takes away your whole freaking play. That’s ridiculous and would not happen in real life. ### 3/5 — Great game, app ok *2026-03-24, version 4.12.12* 1. It is very difficult to close the app. But then while playing the game, a slight mist touch on a tile can pull the game off screen. 2. But the most problematic is playing the system without other real players- the system plays too fast, much faster than real players would play. So it's too difficult to follow. Dizzying! ### 3/5 — The double reward option never works. *2026-03-08, version 4.12.12* When you level up and are offered to watch a clip for double rewards it never works and says currently not available. It’s not worked a single time. For an app I paid for , I expect this work correctly and at the very least give the double point even if the ad isn’t available ### 1/5 — Scammed games *2026-03-04, version 4.12.12* The computer program running the game wants you to loose all points and stars that you have gained. It deliberately stops you from opening when you have gained many points in previous game in order to loose them. The star system should be solid , when you rech a star level that you can’t loose it. I am tired of playing it like that. Real life plays with my family are much more rewarding. ### 3/5 — Love the game but *2026-02-28, version 4.12.12* Why does it take so long to level up. I can think of a lot of changes to improve this game but why bother. I’ll be lucky if you even read this. I will pay for the app if only changes are made. ### 2/5 — Decent, but the level up scoring is horrible *2026-02-08, version 4.12.12* I started with the free version and really enjoyed it, except for the ads. So I bought the ad free version. It’s the same except for the player scoring. It makes no sense, and it’s pretty much impossible to level up because you lose points when you don’t win the game. Hopefully they will fix it and make the scoring the same as the free version. ### 3/5 — Ok but could be great *2026-02-02, version 4.12.12* It’s a good way to play Rummikub with people far away but as many others have stated, so many app glitches. The rack is too close to the bottom of the screen meaning you often push the whole app up which temp disconnects you from the game and lose time. Tiles not laying where you put them. Generally can’t play any moves in the last 5 seconds of your turn as it kind of stops you. Starting games with 3 people instead of 4. The paid app for some reason is missing the tournaments feature of the free app. Some fine tuning could make this a 5 star app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bots always win *2026-07-30, version 4.13.10* It’s a fun game, but I can’t win! The minute I put down a joker, the bot takes it right away! That doesn’t happen in real Rummikub. Whenever i have a good mood, the bot blocks me. It is automatically blocked when i see a good move! I am good, but i haven’t won one game. this should be FREE! ### 1/5 — Unfair *2026-07-04, version 4.13.0* The computer can move tiles around 4-5x faster than a real player, so you never have enough time and always lose. Refund plz! ### 1/5 — Retirement Game? *2026-05-06, version 4.13.0* So sad. I guess the implementation is fine, but what a tragically unfair and strange game. If you prefer games that have agency and meaning, avoid. ### 1/5 — Used to like *2026-05-05, version 4.13.0* I liked this game at first. I had to pay for this one it was never free to me. All was ok@y until about a week ago. It cheats now. Doesn’t allow you to finish moves….ex: when putting tiles together they repel each other especially if you are going out. Deleting it now. On the iPhone I have to actually turn phone off and on to close when finished playing. So dumb now ### 1/5 — Dont pay for this *2026-04-26, version 4.13.0* Waste of money to lose every single game. ### 1/5 — Literally about luck! *2026-04-26, version 4.13.0* To even start the game you need to get 30 points. Good luck collecting it that, by the time you’re done collecting stupid combination the game is over! Don’t waste your money on this game! ### 1/5 — Звдолбали с безумной рекламой *2026-04-25* Заплати за игру и смотрю за свои деньги эту мерзкую рекламу постоянно. ### 1/5 — くそ *2026-04-23* 出せずに負けることが多すぎる。 ### 1/5 — Did not approve purchase of games *2026-04-13, version 4.12.12* Do not make the mistake of downloading this game as it charges you for every time you click to play this was an accident, and I did not realize until I saw the charges. If they refund me this amount, then I will improve my rating for good customer service. ### 1/5 — Scammed games *2026-04-12, version 4.12.12* This game runs on lots of algorithms rather than playing tiles randomly. The computer program running the game wants you to loose all points and stars that you have reached. It deliberately stops you from opening when you have gained many points in previous game in order to loose them. The star system should be solid , when you reach a star level that you can’t loose it. I am tired of playing it like that. Real life plays with my family are much more rewarding. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-06-29, version 4.13.0* I love this game. But in the last couple days, I can’t open it on my iPad. It keeps stopping at 99% And no matter how long I wait it won’t open! If I delete the app, I will lose all my progress. Can you help? ### 5/5 — Works Perfect *2026-05-25, version 4.13.0* Old reviews had me concerned but multiplayer with my wife is simple and flawless. Totally stable. Used for a while before writing this. Worth every cent (bought full version). ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-20, version 4.13.0* Love it..good way to practise ### 5/5 — Be aware!!!! *2026-03-14, version 4.12.12* Proceed with caution! ⚠️ extremely addictive ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-11, version 4.12.12* Have played this game on a board for a long time. So finding this is fantastic. I love the challenge ### 5/5 — Addicting *2026-03-07, version 4.12.12* The game is addicting and I’m on level 31. I’d love the programmers to consider lowering the threshold to level up. 100,000 points is super high whereas 50,000 is still a stretch but more fun to reach. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-01-25, version 4.12.12* My gf always beats me BUT when I do win I rub it in her pretty FACE! ### 5/5 — What fun *2026-01-09, version 4.12.12* Just learned to play with someone who didn’t teach very well. Now actually winning some games. Love it! ### 5/5 — Amoooo *2026-01-06* Melhor jogo do mundo ### 5/5 — Great *2025-12-28, version 4.12.12* My family are in love with this game and I had no idea so when I downloaded this game it was perfect for practice and playing you should get it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
