Good game
Whopooted
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.
Does not work on Ipod Touch

I bought this app and it will not install on the ipod touch. Itunes says this app is not for this device.
An okay game, has "some promise"
cgmpowers
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...
Good, needs work

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.
Good start but needs work
Strapy
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.
Autolock, please fix that, more players
Angelsinojos
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
Please update this game!

Until other developers figure out that there is a big iPhone/Touch market for rummy-style card games (e.g. GinRummy, Canasta, etc.) then this is really the only game in town. The graphics are very basic but functional and the game itself works okay. Here is my wish list for SmartRummy: 1) ability to sort your own cards if you want to, 2) ability to save a game in progress and come back to it later (once you leave the application, any game in progress is lost), 3) a challenge mode where you are pitted against tougher AI players as you progress in levels, 4) lifetime stats (i.e. games won, lost, etc.). Come on Pramod, you can do better. Create the ultimate Rummy game for the iPhone (complete with beautiful graphics and game play) and legions of rummy players will follow.
Ok

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