### 2/5 — Smart Gin Rummy

*2010-07-19*

Almost a great game with two big exceptions.   It freezes up on a regular basis and you have to "look" for the score on a separate page. Kills this app for me. If there was a way to get my money back I would be doing that.

### 2/5 — Ok, needs fixes!

*2009-02-28*

Please fix all issues described by other reviewers. Need to be able to deactivate the accelerameter, have more accurate way to discard, and be able to sort cards manually. If those things happen, then 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2009-01-30*

Improvements needed: be able to sort hand, save game, score should be on play screen, lifetime stats, advance to different levels.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2020-02-27*

The game is skewed to the computer. Cards don’t fall in random order, but come to the computers advantage.  Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Smart Rummy

*2011-11-24*

Pressed the logo, front page comes on, tapped start, switched off. Pressed start several times but always switched off. No problems with any other apps.

### 1/5 — Grrr

*2009-02-16*

Will not install, a waste of money. Why 2nd generation only?. My touch has all the latest software downloaded.

### 1/5 — Robt1

*2009-01-24*

I also had the same experience as the other reviewer.Bought the app but it would not load onto my iPod touch. About time it was sorted out , as it seems like a good game.

### 1/5 — Won't even run

*2009-01-17*

waste of time, waste of money.

### 1/5 — Good start but needs work

*2008-11-27*

This is a good start but I would definitely make some changes. The ability to sort your own hand would top the list. Tracking of previous games like wins and losses would be nice also.

### 1/5 — Good, needs work

*2008-11-18*

Nice game but needs some work with scoring and card alignment, so far. The scoring is so bad that it makes the game un-enjoyable.

### 1/5 — smart rummy

*2008-11-16*

I was real excited when i found this game. So I bought it straight away. I have an ipod touch. But it would not download to it. so i have paid £2.99 for nothing i feel really let down.  from techno grandma

### 1/5 — Does not work on Ipod Touch

*2008-11-06*

I bought this app and it will not install on the ipod touch.  Itunes says this app is not for this device.

### 2/5 — Fauxplay

*2020-09-23*

Game glitches and freezes  when  it has a losing hand 

It’s really lame

### 5/5 — Excellent Gin Game

*2023-05-19*

Recently fixed a few glitches.  I have been playing this game for 14 years and I have never noticed a bias towards the AI as others have claimed.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2010-05-29*

Great game to pass time and have fun. Whenever I have 2 minutes or more while waiting at the train station, in an office or some other place, I enjoy this game. Fun and competition. Highly rcommended.

### 5/5 — Great Game!!!

*2009-02-17*

I was apprehensive after the other reviews, but I love this game already! Worth the money...

2nd review:  I still like the game, but would love to have stats for games played. For example: number of games won/lost; high score, etc.

### 4/5 — Thanks!

*2009-04-11*

Not sure why most of the time I cannot choose my draw card! It automatically chooses it for me so that I have no option to choose from discards while my opponent can!
Just figured out what was going on... If the phone is tilted to the left or right it automatically draws from the pile on that side. Would be great to have that fixed. 
Other than that, I like the game!

### 4/5 — Good game - needs upgrades

*2009-02-15*

Good Game if you like cards but I have all the same issues others have requested...  And for the price you would thing there would be so much more too it... I can't wait to see what they do to upgrades......

### 4/5 — Good game

*2008-11-06*

Good game worth the money...but needs to add the ability to sort your own hand as u see fit. As the gameplay sits right now, your hand is dealt to u and then it's pre arranged for u and u cannot change the sets and runs that they put together for u. This is unrealistic bc although I may be dealt three jacks I shouldn't be forced to use them as one of my sets, I may want to use one of those jacks in a run. This should be addressed in an update then it will be worth 5 stars to me.

### 3/5 — Not the best graphics, but easy to use and fun.

*2009-02-25*

No bugs, easy to use, addicting but not the best graphics. Should be $.99.

### 3/5 — Autolock, please fix that, more players

*2008-12-08*

Nice start but it needs to be fixed... Right away:
1. Autolock, if you are on a bus or train it shuffles with the minimun movement. Raelly annoying. FIX IT...

2. Play against 2,3, or 4 at the same time...
3. The pics of players, they are bad and look too childish for a game like Gin.
4.to be able to change game rules.

WAITING FOR UPDATE SOON....ASAP

### 3/5 — An okay game, has "some promise"

*2008-11-07*

Not a graphically exciting card game, and the controls are a little sensitive and I end up discarding cards next to the one I actually wanted to discard--so that isn't great.  Not being able to sort your own hand is a HUGE problem and needs to be addressed.  Not to mention the sensitivity of discarding the wrong card.  Graphics should also be redesigned/more pleasing IMHO...
