There 3 things that annoy me a LOT. First, there a bar at the bottom that for no reason turns white .. so when you’re trying to move a tile, accidentally touch that white line — the entire screen goes away!!!! Ugh! Secondly, the entire screen keeps zooming in and out depending where the tiles are. Yes, I removed the Zoom on settings — but doesn’t fix anything. And lastly, the thing that’s REALLY annoying is … the software ALWAYS gets great combinations and several Jokers. Rarely, I get that. How far is that??? And, dog forbid, I’m winning … the software unloads 5-6 tiles all at once and BAM .. it goes down to 1 tile!! Not even in real life that happens that often!! I get this software is programmed to teach us to play, but don’t count it building an enjoyable learning process .. lol … because, it’s really annoying. My solution when playing? I quit the game when the software goes down to 2 or 1 tile … because there is no chance turning the game around. So, at least, I try to enjoy part of the game. ### 2/5 — Landscape view *2022-12-23* Why is it now only in landscape??? It’s awful to play .. jerky, unfocused and moves around. I hate playing it now 😡😡 ### 4/5 — iPhone X Update Needed *2017-12-23, version 2.6* This app will not close properly on an iPhone X. App needs to be updated to work properly on iPhone X. ### 4/5 — Touch Rummy *2017-08-23, version 2.5.1* I have played this game for years! One of my favorites! However, my main complaint is the computer generally gets his tiles worth 30 points on the board first -about 90% of the time. Frustrating!!! ### 4/5 — Love it. *2017-05-26, version 2.5.1* I have played rummikub on this app for years. It just need to move smoother. Also, maybe a multiplayer lobby. ### 4/5 — Update screwed up the table *2015-09-02, version 2.5.1* A great game for sure, but the latest update has made this great game no longer great. It no longer uses all the screen real estate. Drawing tiles and placing tiles just isn't smooth anymore. And why doesn't the AI show how many tiles it has left until after it has completed its turn? If I play a tile my tile count is reduced by one. The same should be for the AI. ### 2/5 — Multiplayer *2015-08-19* The latest update prevents multiplayer from connecting - please fix this issue! ### 2/5 — Don't upgrade *2015-08-17* Awful gameplay since the last upgrade. The movements are misplaced and jerky. The ability to win seems to have increased in difficulty, or maybe it's the bad gameplay that gives that impression. ### 2/5 — Update doesn't work *2015-08-14* Multiplayer suddenly doesn't work. ### 3/5 — Good app. Need few enhance *2014-05-24* Great app. I like it. Few rules differt what I'm used to play. On the next version, we should be able to play more than 2 players (either solo or multiplayers) ### 2/5 — Multiplayer *2014-02-06* The multiplayer always stops halfway through our game please fix. Would be great to be able to play with 3 of 4 players. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The first plays are great … *2024-10-11* The first plays are great, then … it’s becomes hard to win, because you get crappy tiles (often doubles and repeated numbers) while the “software” gets often jokers and the perfect combination tiles to the point it often unloads 6-8 tiles at a time. It’s frustrating. ### 1/5 — The first plays are great … *2023-11-20* The first plays are great, then … it’s becomes hard to win, because you get crappy tiles (often doubles and repeated numbers) while the “software” gets often jokers and the perfect combination tiles to the point it often unloads 6-8 tiles at a time. It’s frustrating. ### 1/5 — Annoying and unfair game *2023-11-04* The software always gives shorty tiles to you while “miraculously” it unloads 10 tiles on its turn. C’mon that’s absurd!! ### 1/5 — Unfair game with software *2023-10-26* At first, it’s a great teaching tool. After several games, you get a gazillion crappy tiles while the software gets lots of jokers and excellent tiles to the point of unloading 6 or 8 tiles at the end. Ridiculous. So at this point, I just cancel the game and start a new one, because you only win every 10 games. ### 1/5 — Jumping! *2021-01-31, version 2.6.1* I love this game but the screen jumps up & down everytime I touch the tile! Makes me dizzy...is there a way to make the screen stay still while I am playing? ### 1/5 — Very upset with this purchase *2020-06-07, version 2.6.1* This app continues to shut down. ### 1/5 — App update failure *2015-08-19* Great app until the update on15/08/15 now gameplay is very jerky with both iphones ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2015-08-15* This app has always been a bit hit and miss when connecting to another IPad. Since the update today it doesn't work at all. Rubbish!!! ### 1/5 — Fix the bugs *2015-08-15* What have you done; the tiles are so sensitive and it's frustrating moving them in place; every time you make a move the whole screen moves; change it back please; right now I can't play it. Grrrrr ### 1/5 — Multiplayer *2013-07-18, version 2.4.1* This game would be 100% better if you would please make it so you can play multiplayer over Internet like "words with friends". You would have so many more people downloading this app if you could please make this update. I have a lot if friends waiting for that ability. It's not at all convenient that you have to sit next to each other. You might as well get out the board game! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game rummy *2022-09-03* Le meilleur jeu de rummy, j’y joue depuis 10 ans et je l’adore. 7 stars ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-08-17, version 2.6.1* I have been playing this app for years and it has been great. No problems at all and AD free! ### 5/5 — Wonderful! Perfect holiday game! *2020-08-11* Love playing this on my phone or iPad. So does my dad! We have such fun! Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2020-01-18, version 2.6.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Just get it. Trust me. *2018-10-28, version 2.6.1* I've always loved this game. It's just (I mean EXACTLY) like the actual physical game, but you don't have to break out the tiles and boards. I was floored when I saw that there was an update. The graphics are stunningly beautiful. The new update seems to have made everything snappier and more responsive too. It's an amazing experience that you will be hooked on in the first minute of your first game. Add free too! Kudos to the developers and their hard work. ### 5/5 — Great and fun *2017-12-17, version 2.6* Nice graphics, simple, clean interface. This game has provided tons of fun. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2017-06-08, version 2.5.1* This app is a great version of the Rummikub tile game. ### 5/5 — A fun app *2016-10-31, version 2.5.1* I've been playing this for years. Nice smooth graphics, straight forward operation. I wish it would display the # of tiles in the 'bone pile'. It would add a little challenge to solo play. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-08-14, version 2.5* I used to play Rummy with my mom ages ago. The Dev has done a brilliant job making it an app. I highly recommend this to those who know and enjoy the game. For those who have never tried Rummy, if you like a game that is both relaxing but also requires thought, give this a whirl. To the Dev: Deserves more than five stars. Also *thank you* for adding the running tally of wins and losses. It's a simple but nice touch that makes the game even better! ### 5/5 — Beautifully expected game *2014-10-07, version 2.4.3* The game mechanics are so well done that this is even more fun playing on my iTouch than the real Rummikub board game. I have enjoyed so many hours of this game that it is well worth the $3 I paid. I also have the free version of the Rummikub game app, and find this app better executed. I also like the ability to change settings so I can get a magnified view of tile touched. And that tiles are easily moved across the board to make room for more tiles. Well done, developers! I play against Al (solo) and have found it to be a good player without any noticeable flaws. One rule change that I like better than the board game, is the ability to use only one tile from your hand when stealing a joker, rather than having to use two tiles from your hand. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
