Excellent, well-built app – Grand Gin Rummy: Fun Card Game Review

Feedback: 1. The biggest frustration in normal usage is big thumbs picking the wrong card repeatedly - requires an added level of caution / pause when discarding. One solution would be to add an option for card layout, call it left-handed (“lefty?”) or reverse order, that puts the royals to the left. And/or put a greater separation between the completed sets/runs and the rest of the hand. Yes, it looks more like how the held hand appears, but so does 5-7 inches across, compared to devices under 5” wide! So please create some space there. 2. Before auto-disrupting established sets/runs upon drawing a new card, it would be helpful to at least have the game option to have a prompt first, asking whether to change them. And/or place the new card in the hand and put a temporary outer glows around the proposed new set/run, maybe also temp-placing it at the end of the hand. Caveat: I haven’t yet analyzed whether the auto-disrupt “feature” automatically selects the best Deadwood-scoring result or not. 3. Put all the emojis in 1 non-sliding bubble - the constant sliding discourages use. Also the design style is different, lacks the velvety lux of the overall app. I get that they’re supposed to be like weathered stamps, but it doesn’t really work, looks janky in the app’s context. Request: allow a set of pre-approved phrases (w/slider). 4. Also, a smaller thing, the emoji selections lean toward braggadocio; in spite of the above comment, maybe add a few more options? I almost only use the surprise/shock emoji and would like to use more that aren’t so braggy or bratty toward the other live player. 5. Social: like Trivia Crack and other apps, enable opponent profile views (more editable by user), maybe even friend invites / challenges 6. Good to see players’ achieved levels when playing them, so when stepping back to Intermediate or lower difficulties for a break, can get a sense of the opponent’s XP level. 7. Increase the reward ratios slightly 8. More generous sales offers
