Latest reviews of Rummy - 8 cards app for iPhone and iPad
Ça marche pas cest nul
This app was made at the Atari level and in no way should be a pay app. Ive gotten better apps for free. If you want a good card game then spend your money somewhere else. I love rummy and think this app is a disgrace to the game. On top of that it crashes every other game and theres no way to save a game. Each time its opened it deals you a new hand which takes forever.
So slow I could cook dinner and eat it before the cards were delt! OMG 1 min per card to each playing!
Update: The developer responded to the slow dealings in the app description, saying itll be fixed in the next update. That right there deserves 5 stars as it shows the developer is listening to us. As far as the app crashing, I havent experienced any crashes at all and Ive had this app since it was released and I play it daily. Perhaps its a problem with your device? Either way, thanks for listening to us! Im looking forward to the update :) Yes, this is a very simple app. However, its in retina display, which is more than I can say for some apps on the App Store. How flashy does a card game app need to be? I prefer when card game apps are simple without a bunch of tacky colors thrown in your face. I do agree that the hands need to be dealt a LOT faster though and it should save your game if you exit the app.
This game is horrible...when I play sometime two five of diamonds,sometime two seven of diamonds, whats up with that? The game jams up constantly, I behave reloaded at least four times or more? Someone needs to look and fix this game quickly
