Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive been playing this game for 10+ years now. We love it . If you love canasta this is a must have game.
We have been playing this game for years and we love it! You dont have to have WiFi or cell service to play it.
Best online version Ive found. Simple platform, yet very efficient.
A canasta game that has leagues, full games and communities! Graphics can be a little better but hey, its a card game haha.
We have had this app for a yr or so…a little too many steps to get logged in..we do wish there was a way to play a rated game with friends. Otherwise its fun enough.
Only thing that irks us about this game is when the partner asks to go out, we say no and then doesnt play any cards! Another round, can we go out, no and doesnt play anything. Ive emailed the developers, make sure partner setting is at 5, nothing changed. Still wants to go out and wont play cards.
Ive played canasta for years and we know there are many variations of the rules. We were able to pick all of our familys traditional rulesexcept for onewhich makes this highly enjoyable. The computer tends to pick up the deck frequently and holds cards most of the time, so it might be troublesome playing 4 handedbut the 2 handed game is good. The game play is very fast which is another plus.
We get so engrossed in this game sometime we forget everything ey.
Love this Canasta game! It lets you set up gameplay how you like it. Smooth & lots of fun.
People in the chat are ruthless. We had someone call us a cheater non stop, all we said was how can one cheat? We reported it and we got banned. Support will not provide what you said for the ban. Yet people are political, offensive and continue to play. Do better with your algorithm and Support. Just increased our ranking as we dont type much with people. Recent update the cards move way too quick that affects our disability. Please change.
In this game the computer cheats. Its too evident.
So far Im really enjoying this game. Its not driving us crazy with ads or anything. Ill update if needed but so far so good. This is a fun game.
We have played 3 other Canasta games & they were not near as challenging as this one. Its been very fun to play.
Great game. Our computer partner does not play like a partner though. Picks up pile and keeps 20 cards in his hand. Most of which we have melded and some are in our hand. Then someone goes out. Stupid. We feel like we are playing alone. Why does the computer meld two cards and discard the third one. Dumb way to play ..someone fixed the game. Hallelujah. So happy to play it again after quitting in frustration. Thanks.
This game is the original card game of them all! Once you learn how to hit the cards out, or freeze or unfreeze youll be playing all night like us lol.
Im loving this game. Us and our mom use to play this. Brings back memories.
Pinochle, Hearts and Spades no longer work with our old iPad sw rev 12.5.7. When selected it comes up with a blue screen then quits. All your other programs work.
We tried most of the other games and this one is by far the best.
After taking beatings from her whilst learning. Downloaded the app, adapted to her rule play and shes wondering what happened.
We give this game 5. Its fun the only problems is not fitting in our phone. Its keeps moving. We like the speed and Enjoy it better. The space is enough than the regular canasta but it sensitive when making plays.
It has been many years since playing this game. We found this app and decided to try it. It gives a good explanation on rules. It has banner ads so this doesnt affect your games.
We've been playing this app for years since this last update on discard pile we can no longer get the app to work. We hit rated game and it kicks us off the app to our iPad home screen.
Grew up playing Canasta as a child into adulthood. The fact that you can set the game the Way or the closest way you might have played it when you were younger is a great advantage. Overall, we gave it a five star.
Very fun challenging can become addicting nice way to meet people.
This app is addicting. Our only suggestion spread the red 3s throughout the game. We dont understand why when opponents have 3 red threes and the round/hand is coming to an end and theres 1 card/pull left that last card should be the fourth/red 3. The app ends the game with the 4th red 3 credit/100 points. That 100 points can lead to the win. Just curious. At times the app appears to chose a winner before the game EVEN starts. Not being a poor sport. We give your application 5 stars. Thank you for such great fun. Food for thought- our hopes are that the application eventually will pair partners by strength of knowledge where there is a balance of teams.
Challenging and you meet great people.
Us encanta llena mis das hace que ir ratos muy agradables.
The app hasnt been working for a couple of hours. When is it expected to be up again.
Vary enjoyable game with other people.
Great setup. As fast as you like it. Big figures that are easy to follow. Set your own difficulty level. FUN.
Im relatively new to the game, so keep that in mind when viewing our feedback. We love a lot about this app: the speed of play; can view the cards the other players were holding at end of round; can refuse partner going out if you have a play you want to make. BUTI agree, an option to ask our partner if we can go out – and have it refuse if strategically wise – would be great. Also, Ive noticed some odd discards that no human would dolike when that card would make a canasta and there are others they could have discarded. (Heres where our inexperience might show?) Im gonna keep playing this appI think a couple more dates, and we might even introduce it to our parents lol. Highly recommend.
Great game love the competition but dear lets unfair, almost predictable.
Online play is good. Computer play is awful. They need to reprogram.
We love this game and never tire of playing it. Gracie.
Moves fast on other players that is good and bad. But overall good.
Our family loves this opportunity to play one of our favorite games with each other even though we live in different states. There are a few things that are different, but we deal with it. We make a shared phone call so we can all talk together while playing. It was especially special during those first many lonely months of Covid, so thank you. We like playing you have to have 2 canastas to go out, one of which must be red. We also play you can take the pack at the end even if you have no draw pile left for your turn.
We love this game n play with our friend who is in another state.
Super fun and challenging. A game you can challenge yourself and continue to improve your skills every day.
We really enjoy playing this every single day. We could do without the rude comments in the group chat, but other than that, and a few times in the last week, the game has been unavailable due to some server error or other issue, we are grateful for it as a nice outlet during our day :-).
Good game. We like the options to change some of the rules like drawing and how many canastas you need to go out. We dont like the computer or AI. If you win big expect to get smoked the next round. It like NFL blitz. Crazy.
Computer partner stockpiles cards. If they would lay down we could play off each other. It would also impact the play of the draw pile and the discard pile. Sometimes, we could go out if we had a canasta. Our partner will be holding the cards to make it. Many times the opposing team wins out when we might have had our partner lay down sooner.
Partner holds onto cards and doesnt meld. Robot knows cards Im holding.
Its a fun game until you get sucked into the algorithm losing streak and spend weeks losing 90% of your games until you get to the other side and can win again.
Game has quite a few bugs and questionable moves.
You will get banned from playing for no valid reason. When you inquire as to why they will provide you a generic reason without giving specifics because there are no specifics.
This canasta game allows you to select how you'd like to play, one or two card pick ups, return, number of players and other details.
Great fun, love how you can customize your game.
Fun game and easy instructions.
Its very entertaining and keeps the mind working.
Need to change some of the rules.
