Canasta. for Positive User Reviews
✓ Kiwi and proud of itHave played this game over the last 60 odd years and still enjoy it today. On my own so love being able to still play with the computer. Thanks for the game.Version: 3.0
✓ Great game.This is a great game and very well set up. Simple and easy to navigate with the settings. Thumbs up from me!.Version: 4.1
✓ Awesome game!Reminds me of old family get togethers! Love it! I'm addicted..Version: 1.3
✓ CanastaI like this game. I would like it better if I didn’t have to pay to increase difficulty..Version: 4.1
✓ Why paying for game doesn’t work properly?I love playing canasta and quickly purchased the licence when offered after using up my tokens in the Canasta multiplayer mode. When I try to play solo canasta it won’t accept my purchase or even allow me to get one.Version: 3.9
✓ Does not follow all normal rulesI like this game for relaxing. There are a few quirks in it though. According to the official rules, you can draw the discard pile for the initial meld, only if you hav a pair of the top card. Also, you can use only the use the top card in counting the initial meld. Both these rules are not enforced in this version. The only player that can ask before going out is the human player’s partner. Of course the computer players are programmed pretty dumb unless you pay for the upgraded version. This is normal for a lot of games. However, in this game, the computer players make some rather stupid plays. Can’t take the game too seriously..Version: 3.6
✓ Some Incorrect rules that need fixing1. You cannot use the entire deck to make your initial meld. You can only use the top card. Right now, the deck can fill up with a ton of cards, and picking up the deck allows me to use every card in it to meld with. Ie I can make 120 with like, a pair of 4's in my hand and nothing else, provided there's a ton of points in the deck. This is just plain wrong. 2. Once a canasta is made, you can't pick up the top card from the discard pile as if it was just normal points on the table. If my team makes a canasta in 4s, and my opponent subsequently throws me a 4 onto the discard pile, I can't pick up that 4. (Unless for some reason I ALSO have a pair of 4s in my hand). Once a canasta is made, you can't use it to pickup cards from the discard pile. 3. If the deck is frozen, and I'm trying to make a meld, I need to have my meld points "in hand" PLUS a pair of whatever is on the discard pile in order to pick it up. Top card in a frozen deck does NOT go towards your initial meld. 4. When a "natural" canasta is made, you put a RED card facing up on the canasta pile. (Which its why it's called a 'red canasta'). Canastas with jokers in them you put a BLACK card on the top of the stack. 5. If you cannot meld, red threes count AGAINST you if your opponent goes out..Version: 2.1
✓ Canasta lots of funIt’s so realistic. Not perfect, but entertaining. I enjoyed it very much while waiting for appointments, the bus, train etc.Version: 3.0
✓ FunGreat training game.Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaI have canasta, spades and gin rummy. They are great to whittle away the time and they play offline. I enjoy playing these games.Version: 2.1
✓ Great game!Great game to engage the mind..Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaBest Canasta app I have found. Have been playing this app for several years and canasta for over 30 years..Version: 3.0
✓ Fun game but it’s hard to tell if a canasta is cleanGame works well, although it’s easy to figure out the computer’s strategy. Two things I would fix if possible. 1: the scoreboard covers the top cards in the center, making it virtually impossible to tell if the opponent’s canasta has a wild. 2: the color of the 20 points for the #2 wild is the same as an Ace. This makes it also impossible to tell if a wild is in play under the aces. Both of these affect game play as you cannot tell if a canasta is clean or dirty. Also, it would be great if the colors for dirty and clean completed ones were different for the same reason..Version: 2.1
✓ AI sometimes makes poor decisionsSometimes the AI makes terrible decisions, which is frustrating. A real person wouldn’t be so dumb. Otherwise it is a good game and the layout is clear..Version: 3.9
✓ Nail biting stuff; lots of funThanks.Version: 2.1
✓ Good AppI downloaded 2 canasta games, I kept this one and deleted the other. In this app, my partner at least plays on the cards down. On the other app, it was like I was playing by my self as my partner would hardly ever lay down unless it was close to going out. I admit, this app isn’t perfect but it’s the closest I’ve found so far. I grew up playing canasta at every family gatherings and it bring happy, happy memories. It isn’t a hard game to learn and if you like this app, take the time and teach your kids..Version: 4.1
✓ Great gameLove this game - straightforward Canasta, love that you can speed up or slow down the action and the graphics are perfect..Version: 4.1
✓ Great gameReally like this game other than there does not seem to be a spot to ask partner to go out. My partner asks, but I have no spot to ask. (And yes, the option is set to “on”).Version: 4.1
✓ Great fun but some rules need fixing!If you are new to Canasta it's fun but if you want to play by the rules and be challenged it's not so great. It is worth it to pass time..Version: 2.1
✓ Needs improvingGreat app but the strategy is all over the place by the AI. On many occasions it will discard a card when we have 6 on the table. It crosses the pack way to often as well. Also needs 2 player mode. 2 players = 15 cards; 3 players = 13 cards; 4 players = 11 cards..Version: 2.1
✓ Good but needs improvementWell polished app overall and with good features. But the AI quality is a shame, when playing on hard, the opponents will put out jokers too often and then even if they are able to pick up the pile, they then won’t for some reason. I’ve also noticed that my partner will keep or worse still, discard cards that could give us a canasta in open play. So the game becomes very easy even on hard. If these were fixed this would one of the best card games on the App Store..Version: 3.0
✓ Enjoyable, but one or two anomaliesEnjoyable, but one or two anomalies, eg when picking up discard pack on ‘going down’, it gives you the whole pack before all your ‘going down’ count has been placed. This allows you to use some of the discard pack in your count - a definite no, no! Mostly ok especially no ads..Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaGreat game love it.Version: 4.1
✓ Fun gameI always wanted to learn to play this card game, and it’s easy to learn on this app as it shows you what you can and can’t do as you go along. It didn’t take long for me to pick up the rules and start winning hands. I really enjoy it. It makes you think about strategies for your hand and your partner..Version: 3.9
✓ Best game ever!This canasta game is amazing!!!! It is so addicting and so fun!! Canasta is already my favorite card game, so playing it online too, also helps me get some enjoyment out of it, and new skills. I have created new ways of playing, and even stayed up for 3 hours straight playing this game! The graphics are unreal, it is super realistic, and it's super speedy so you never have to wait! It gives great game options and a cute congrats screen when you win! The game goes by fast, and you will 100% have fun! Download today!.Version: 2.1
✓ Schutzengel06 is correctThe app is very good but my partner is an idiot. It could have been truly great but the play from partner often makes you want to scream. Lots of very bad play that wouldn’t happen in real life. If you are not going to allow partner to A) play better B) be programmable to play either more offensively or defensively in style or C stop acting like a total nitwit with the lay down of wild cards...then at least give us a button that allows us to holler an obscenity at the partner or hit the partner upside the head with a hammer.Version: 2.1
✓ Great app!Superb app, with pretty decent AI and gameplay. The only error is that the computer can pick up from the discard pile, if it has the same cards showing on the table, but you can’t. This gives the computer a slight advantage. Otherwise great..Version: 3.9
✓ Très bonne App. Very good App. !I like it very much and play every day BUT I wrote to the developer and had no answer, so I try this way to ask him to update the way we can know who won each part-game of a total game. It goes so fast at the end that we don’t know if we won and what is the score. We get final score of the game but if we want the score we just did we have to calculate it. It would be very appreciated to have a signal to say : You won and the score we just did. Thanks a lot !.Version: 3.2
✓ AméliorationLes canastas fermés devraient être mieux identifiés. Ainsi que les canastas noirs (avec frime) et rouges (pur)..Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaNo longer enjoy the game since the update. I will probably switch to Cribbage!.Version: 3.5
✓ So fun. Please fix to follow rules of the game.I love this game as a relaxing time passer. Does not need web connection. Quick and challenging. I found a few frustrating errors in the game. We play according to Hoyles rules. The latest one is that the opponent had all the 100 pt bonuses, but no melds. They do not get the 800 points. They go down that many. There are others, like when you have enough cards to complete a meld and it is your last cards, it does not let you play the wild card as one of your two cards needed, and gives a message about needing three cards. Not so. The only way to get out of that and end the game is to play more hands..Version: 4.0
✓ Canasta a great gameI have a lot of fun with this game. The rules are a bit different from the ones I usually play by but still a lot of fun..Version: 3.3
✓ Love CanastaI love canasta and have played it for 30-40 years. I still play it now, on this app, at least a few times a week. It’s a great app with only one fault: periodically your computer “partner” chooses an oddball strategy of ridding itself of every playable card in their hand, going out as soon as they can instead of racking up points to 500 to win. And no wild cards are held to complete canastas later. This is a loss of natural canastas and points. For instance, if they have three 7’s in their hand, they’ll put down three 7’s and a wild card. Then a few rounds later are unable to finish that canasta as a natural (all 7’s and worth 200 more points) because they used a wild card unnecessarily. This has changed my playing considerably and isn’t as much fun. However, even with that crazy algorithm, I still enjoy playing..Version: 3.0
✓ EnjoyableStarting out with Canasta...maybe the paid version will give a bit more realistic opposition. My "partner" occasionally knows very little...perhaps this is part of the simulation...anyhow thanks to the maker.Version: 2.1
✓ Great game!I just love playing Canasta! I had no previous experience but the game has helped me learn through game rules that are easy to understand as well as good old experience. I don’t always agree with my partner’s choices but I don’t always see the obvious either. The game moves quickly but allows me time to consider each move. It is fun and a great way to learn the game. It costs nothing and that’s a bonus too!! Just good, clean fun. Great game!!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Bots are good!I never played Canasta until I started with this application. I typically play against one bot but from time to time I’ll also play doubles and that’s great fun as I’m playing 3 bots at a time, one as my partner and two opposing players. I like it that I can choose several things at the start of each game. For example, number of cards initially felt, how many cards with each subsequent deal, technical abilities of players and opponents, and how many points to win the game. Haven’t run into any glitches or freeze-ups in a year of play..Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaLove canasta.Version: 3.9
✓ Canasta proCan’t play since iOS iPad update. Can’t play on M1 either. Best canasta game. Love ability to choose two cards. One bug you have missed though, which can be annoying. I see no clue as to why it happens so can’t help you there. Many times at the last hand of the game, the game will suddenly end without letting me play my last cards. It doesn’t play them for me and when I’m holding the ability to meld on my last turn, this is very annoying. Also something that annoys me but don’t know if fixable, my partner focuses on making more matches than on playing the 7 th card, seemingly. And at the end of the game I can’t see what cards my partner was holding as it is overshadowed by the game stating it’s over, etc..Version: 3.9
✓ CanastaHave played this game for over 50 years so I was very pleased that I found it on here..Version: 3.0
✓ Quite entertainingYour partner is no good at melding, leaving it to you to open. Most comments regarding the opposition throwing your cards are true and do contribute to you usually winning by quite a high margin. Having said that still quite an entertaining game..Version: 2.1
✓ Best game yet.Harder levels are so much fun. I still usuwin though. It’s a bit difficult to see how many cards there are in the same suit. I like that I can speed up the game..Version: 4.1
✓ Good funI’m just learning so it’s been a fun way to get a handle on the scoring..Version: 4.1
✓ Great game and Helpful refresherI played canasta YEARS ago with my Grandma. Started thinking about her and canasta today, so decided to download a game. I couldn’t remember how to play anymore, but this game is so helpful. I did a quick review of the rules and gave it a shot. The arrows are very helpful letting you know if you can pick from the discard pile or if you just need to draw from the pile. Also shows you how many points you need to meld and keeps count. Not sure I could play in person with real cards yet, but I am hooked and will get there..Version: 3.2
✓ Good game, but!This could have been a winner, but the AI is flawed. The opponents and partner seem to play to expose weakness, some times playing cards so that only one is left in hand so that a 2 merely rules them out of the game for that hand. Additionally when picking up the discard pile, it is not normal to allow the meld to come from the pickup. It's a shame, because the graphic representation is very good, it just says a little more work.Version: 2.1
✓ Love it,No annoying adverts popping up and playing this game takes me back to the days with friends in the 1950s when we were all young with the world in front of us,.Version: 1.3
✓ Really pleased with this version of CanastaHave downloaded other versions of Canasta which do not compare with this one. Excellent..Version: 4.1
✓ BrilliantStarted playing this again after many years, with friends, with cards. I needed to practice and this game is so realistic..Version: 2.1
✓ Great versionSimplistic, no hand or foot, but for a free version I've been playing it constantly while waiting for a family member at the hospital and it is great..Version: 2.1
✓ Caannnaaasssttttaaaa!Love the game, find it a little frustrating that you cant play 2 player, due to some of the stupid moves the partner plays, I have tried to follow link to purchase the full version but it doesn't seem to work??.Version: 3.0
✓ CANASTA ♥️♦️♣️♠️Really enjoy playing this Canasta app ... l like a fast game!!! ✅ I now find playing real life Canasta, with real people very slow, after playing this game ... In fact l’d rather this any day !!! 😄.Version: 3.0
✓ I’m hooked!!!!!!Great No Ads!!!!! I’m hooked!!!!!!.Version: 3.0
✓ Great flowing game.Love the fact there are no ads. Play it most mornings. Will continue to do so while it works so well. Thank you.Version: 3.0
✓ OkOk game.Version: 4.1
✓ Frustrating at timesThere appear to be flaws in the programming. I agree with the negative comments already posted. In addition even when the opponents have enough points to meld they don’t. Also many times my partner seems to be playing against me rather than with me. I am young the free version and am reluctant to buy the other version fearful that the same issues will be there. If they could fix the programming flaws it would be more fun to play..Version: 3.0
✓ Good game. However?We need to be able to meld the correct amount BEFORE the whole discard deck jumps into our hands. As a previous reviewer wrote, once all the discards are in our hand we can use whatever cards are there and that of course is incorrect. I wish the Ais would not discard so many wild cards when we need them on our melds.Version: 2.1
✓ CanastaOf all the games out there this is one of the best. I play it every chance I get. Have played this every evening and I love it. Very addictive. The best on the market..Version: 4.1
✓ Great gameGreat game! Rules are almost the same as the game I played growing up. My biggest complaint is the layout of the board. Instead of having the score bars stacked on top of each other, making it so you can’t tell if the opponent’s 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, and maybe 10s are “canasta’d,” move the red and green bars next to each other so they go across the top of the screen. Also, when either pair gets a natural canasta, make the last card shown one of the red cards in the deck. As it is now, the score ticks at the top of each card tell you if it’s natural or mixed, and with the Aces, it’s impossible to tell if it’s a natural or mixed because Aces and 2s are all 20 points. It’s difficult to read sometimes with the current format. Other than that, fantastic game..Version: 3.0
✓ Play setupI find it extremely frustrating to have to go in each time and pay! With diamonds to get the style of game you want....stupid..Version: 3.9
✓ Great gameA good game to learn canasta. Having fun during a cold winter playing cards..Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaAlways loved this game growing up as a child - but not many of my peers are into it - so glad I m able to play this game - as it keeps my brain active.Version: 3.0
✓ Great gameI love playing this game and I love how your “computer partner” asks if the can “go out”(finish the hand) 👍 I just wish You could ask them … in case they still have some high/playable cards in their hand. 🤔🇨🇦🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖.Version: 3.9
✓ Enjoyable - mainlyThis is the best online Canasta I’ve played. It is particularly enjoyable because, for a change in a free version, the adverts aren’t invasive. The AI, as others have mentioned, is a little unrealistic though, in that it regularly discards so that you are gifted with the seventh card in a canasta. This version also allows you to pick up the pack in order to contribute towards your initial qualifying melds - not a regular convention. Nevertheless, it IS recommended because it is a very entertaining game..Version: 3.0
✓ Great game but needs “how to play” instructionsI’m relatively new to playing canasta so it would have been really helpful to have a “how to play” help section that explained some of the moves and strategies. If this game has that information I couldn’t find it. I was confused and dismayed by my partner’s plays until I went to a competitor’s app and read their how to play section. Now that I understand the strategies better it is much more fun to play. People who have been playing for years will likely not have any trouble but other newbies like me need a bit more information..Version: 4.1
✓ Pics aidThere are times when obvious for the opposition to pick up the pile they refuse. Still needs more tweaks to help the player to go out, sometimes they are not allowed when it is obvious all is OK..Version: 3.0
✓ Best addicting game ever!My wife got me hooked . I hadn’t played since grade school but it’s like riding a bike... you don’t forget. 50 yrs later it is so much fun. I can’t find people who want to teach me and play bridge but there is always someone to play canasta. This app has challenge and skill and excitement. May have to buy the full game for more options. Only draw back ( but not enough to drop any stars) is it’s not teaching me to count/add myself. That will come with more playing. Everyone should get this and play.Version: 2.1
✓ CanastaI enjoy playing Canasta I would like to get to a 5000 score so as the game lasts longer . Thank you..Version: 3.7
✓ Great suite of gamesThe graphics are clear and snappy and the game play is smooth. I like that the AI can be slowed down for when you’re learning so you can really see what’s going on. But what’s with the Hearts game? The computer players aren’t just unskilled, they are imbeciles. I shouldn’t be able to win every game with less than 5 points. I really like your interface so I want to play you Hearts game, but I’m bored after the second game. Can you fix it? All the other games seem to have better balance or the ability to adjust the play level. Thanks.Version: 3.9
✓ Playing against threeMy computer partner has decided to join the other team. He discards cards that can make us a canasta. When he does take the pile he lays only a few cards down. When I take the pile he holds his cards and doesn’t help, I end up wasting my wild cards. It used to be an enjoyable game until he switched sides, I guess I was winning too much. After reading other reviews, everyone is complaining about their computer partner. They all seem to be pretty stupid.. Too bad, this could be a much better game...Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaEndlessly fascinating and addictive game for those practicing for their card club. Learn how to win by repeated practice..Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaLove the game, two cards would be better, fast and easy.Version: 4.1
✓ Fun gameCould you please explain how the high score tables work? I'd like to understand them better. Thanks.Version: 4.1
✓ GreatJust learnt how to play Canasta, at a friends dinner party. Been doing some secret training on my own with this game. Really starting to understand the rules and the strategies of the game..Version: 3.0
✓ In Australia, can only get the easy GameI love the easy and would so dearly get the rest of the games! In the easy game the partners are totally predictable, so you need to play as a one sided partnership and you need to sometimes play differently to get the opposition and your partner to guide all of them to do what you want to win about 99% of the games. I don’t I don’t know why we cannot buy it in Australia, but when I can it will be bought immediately because I enjoy the gameplay of the easy version and I know the game can get better in the medium and hard options..Version: 3.0
✓ CanasterI have not been able to play this game since my parents got too old as I didn't know anybody else who could play it. I am thoroughly enjoying being able to play again and am on the winning team..Version: 2.1
✓ I totally agree with "haywire"This game plays nothing like it did 5 days ago before the update. My partner constantly plays cards to the advantage. All the players lay down cards that NO canasta player would ever lay down in a thousand games. Sometimes when a card is played that would naturally be picked up, it isn't. Maybe two cards in a row are done like that... and then I get the stack. This would never happen in a real game. This use to play like a real game. Not happy with the stupid changes. It's all a ploy to get me to BUY the upgrade... but why would I do that now that the game is not being played with any sense at all? Hate it..Version: 3.3
✓ FrancisThe best game ever.Version: 3.9
✓ CanastaEasy to play, trouble free, and even though some of the rules are different to what I play with cards, it is very enjoyable and relaxing..Version: 3.0
✓ LINZZLove the game been playing for years...Version: 3.0
✓ Good but not greatI do enjoy this app, even if the players are slightly lacking. For example, when my partner uses a wild to add that 7th card to canasta then immediately adds an 8th card, being the actual needed card. Way to waste a wild that could've been used to canasta another pile.. Or picking up the deck for 5 points when we are about to go out, adding 20-30 extra points at least to their hand, thus losing us points. All the players seem to love giving the opponents cards that bring them to 6 and near a canasta. Or freezing the pile when everyone is about to go out. Could have used that for another canasta or to go out yourself. Sigh... fun game but frustrating at times. Stupidity makes for less of an enjoyable game. HOWEVER, this one is hell of a lot better than the canasta solo app. That one is a complete and utter mess that makes you want to chuck your device across the room..Version: 2.1
✓ Canasta LoverBeen playing canasta for many many years and this version is exactly the same. My only criticism would be not having the ability to converse with others in game as another version of this game I have played..Version: 4.1
✓ Best Canasta GameI’ve been playing this Canasta Game for quite a long time. Best I’ve played. I drop games quickly when I suspect stacked decks. This one game seems to be legit. No hassle with Ads. I will drop a game that pops ads, and the loops them so you can’t easily get out of the ad and get back to your game. This game is worth a few bucks out of you pocket, I truly cannot remember if I paid for this particular game or not. Well done, great Canasta challenge to play..Version: 4.1
✓ Great gameGood option for when you cannot play with real players.. Very easy though..Version: 2.1
✓ Great gameFun with a challenge..Version: 4.1
✓ Doesn’t cost a centThese are starting to be the only games I play now seen as all the other games are constantly asking for a hand out in their pay checks whilst sucking the devils dk.Version: 4.1
✓ CanasterI use to play this years ago 50. It’s good to still be able to enjoy this game but now by my self..Version: 4.1
✓ Nice appGreat looking and well thought out game. Agree with other comments about ai being a bit stupid, but doesn’t spoil the enjoyment..Version: 2.1
✓ Great for the elderlyI got this game for my 84-year-old mother. Due to Coverd 19 all of her card games had to stop so I got her an iPad and downloaded this game. Thank you so much for making it free and making it available as it’s been a godsend!.Version: 3.0
✓ Great card game.I’ve always loved this card game but so few people nowadays know how to play it. Thank you..Version: 3.0
✓ Great game, I love this gameThanks.Version: 4.1
✓ Good app easy to useHadn’t played canasta in years and was looking for a way to brush up on the rules this app is perfect for that. Easy to use help if you need it. Be careful though very addictive. Highly recommend.Version: 2.1
✓ ´´´J’adore, bien fait 👍.Version: 3.2
✓ Canasta loverThank gawd for this game!.Version: 4.1
✓ Good AppI started playing Canasta 50 years ago and this is by far the best Canasta App I’ve played. Although, as the Meld Score requirement advances the game/app does not require variations of books or runs and books and runs. This App requires runs only. Therefore, it is very easy to count your computer opponent’s discards and know what to discard. One complaint, the app does not allow one to sandbag. It forces you to go out when you can. I’ve yet to lose a game. Thus, the negative comments about the game being rigged may be player skill and not the App. It is definitely beatable..Version: 4.1
✓ Good interfaceBut, as someone else pointed out, a few rules need amending and the other thing I think needs work is it takes 7 cards to make a canasta but really hard to tell how many cards in the meld once you get past 4.Version: 4.1
✓ Fun game computer players are idiotsThe game is fun if you want to little something to do to kill time. The main problem with the game is the partner you play with and the people you play against. They’re all computers and they don’t have half a brain as to how they’re playing that game. If they had at least a smart partner for you that would make it better but none of them play according to the way a normal person would play the game. They throw cards when they shouldn’t they throw away wild cards which are ridiculous it’s just makes you want to throw your phone but for the most part it’s a fun way to spend a few minutes..Version: 3.6
✓ Good game but can’t win pointsThe game is good but you have to pay to get a decent level of opponent! Too simple without that. It would also be good if you could win (unlock) a harder opponent if for example you win three or five games in a row!.Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaNot as good as playing with real players and some of the rules are way off what they should be but still an enjoyable on line game..Version: 3.0
✓ Great, but I'm at odds with my team-mate.A good layout with quick, flowing play. Plenty to like about this app. Unfortunately, my team-mate is terrible to play with. While I try to make natural canastas, my team-mate will throw 2s and jokers on anything (I can't afford to put anymore than three down and simply hope we don't go out with them in my hand!) I try to take advantage of a strong opening where we can farm the opponents cards, yet my team-mate will take the first opportunity to go out. It doesn't see the bigger picture. For this reason, I can't bear to use this version. A pity. Perhaps with the bought version my team-mate's intellect would improve..Version: 1.2
✓ Can’t Buy itGood game. Can’t buy the upgrade for some reason. Keep getting ‘can’t connect to AppStore’ message, even though I can get into it the usual way. Developers loss..Version: 2.1
✓ Love it!I grew up on Canasta and whilst I recognise that rules vary across the world I enjoy playing this game as part of my relaxation. The app itself is well constructed and operates efficiently with little to nil interruption from ads which I find annoying in other game apps. Yes, some the rules are different to the way I have grown up playing but all in all I love this game. Thank you team for your production - 5🌟.Version: 3.0
✓ AddictiveI’m new to this game. This version is allowing me to learn as I go. I don’t yet understand all the rules but I’m succeeding enough to keep me trying. I’ve slowed down the other players. A simple breakdown of the rules would’ve earned this App 5 stars. I’ve given up on other versions of Canasta, which had tutorials I couldn’t comprehend & in which I experienced sudden death, without knowing why. Although I need to search out the rules elsewhere, I’m understanding enough, & this App is clear enough, to keep me playing. Thank you..Version: 2.1
✓ CanastaGreat game….liked better Canasta Pro, but no longer updated..Version: 3.9
✓ Good but irritatingThis is the best version that I've come across to date, BUT it has some annoying traits that can't be that difficult to eradicate. 1) If you discard effectively in canasta, you cut your opponent's opportunities by 50%. The AI in this version doesn't know that, and your opponents will regularly give you the 7th card to complete your canasta. Very generous, but a bit unrealistic. 2) It's always a good idea to hold back a couple of cards in case someone freezes the pack. I.e., you have 9s on the table, keep a couple in hand to be able to pick up the discard pile, should someone discard a 9. The AI doesn't know this, and lays out its wares for all to see. I've rated it 4*, but think it's more like 3.5* at the moment..Version: 2.1
✓ Great card gameSimple design, layout. Having no ads makes it even better.Version: 3.0
✓ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️This game is something my husband an i play all the time to find it in the app store made my day.Version: 2.1
✓ Great I am in a Canasta Club.It seems to me either I am a good player (after 5 months?) or it seems the most of the bias is to myself and my partner, We seem to win 4 out of every 5-6 games. I am a learner and have played Hoyles Canasta from a disc and seem to be roundly beaten by on a regular basis, guess which game I play the most.....Marlow.Version: 3.0
✓ CanastaLove this game.Version: 3.9
✓ Great gameA great game for a quick break from the world.Version: 3.7
✓ CanastaCool wee game.Version: 1.2
✓ The best version!!! I’m not deleting this one!!!I haven’t played canasta since I was in high school... so I forgot all about it. Then when I received my IPad, I fell in love with it all over again. I have tried many canasta games available in the app’s, but wasn’t to thrilled about them until I found this one. I love the background and card back varieties that are available to me. The most astonishing thing is I love the way they represent their canasta game. The asking "can I go out?". The placement of your cards. The order of the cards is automatic. If you are a beginner it even helps you to learn better. Need I say more.... For me this is the best one. All I can say is try it for yourself... it depends on what your looking for! I’m keeping this one!.Version: 2.1
✓ A bit buggyDoesn’t allow you to pick up from the discard pile. Initially works and then stops allowing you..Version: 4.1
✓ To relaxFantastic game to relax. Can be played even with no internet connection. Easy to learn. Not too stupid and not too complicated like bridge..Version: 3.0
✓ Glad I got it backI have been playing canasta for some time, about 5 years I reckon but recently another company took over, I didn’t know why but I am having troubles on line at the moment. Yesterday I managed to dump the new one and get this game back and I am delighted. Not fancy, just a straightforward game, thank you!.Version: 4.1
✓ FantasticI just started to learn to play canasta and this has helped a lot. Now I’m addicted. No ads is a plus. Straight into the game and no waiting. Love love love..Version: 3.0
✓ It's a good game, but0I'm new at playing Canasta but now that I have learned the game I have seen some patterns that take some fun out of the game for me. The player to the right of my hand always seems to have a fantastic hand playing almost all of the cards at the start. I seldom have any threes in my hand at the beginning of my hand so the player to my left almost always takes my discard and goes with it. Also, when my turn comes first, and must play 120, I rarely have that many points so have to pass. We almost always win but I don't mind losing fair and square..Version: 2.1
✓ Fun Canasta gameVery good game and good graphics. Only two things I wish were different. We should not be able to pick up a card to add to a completed canasta. Those should be considered safe discards and a player should not get the pile. The other change is that we should not be able to pick up the pile or card with a joker and just one of the card. Should always need a pair to pick a card up. I follow standard canasta rules and I never pick up the pile with the two mentioned mistakes listed, but that doesn’t stop computer from doing it. Please correct these two errors and it would be a great game..Version: 4.1
✓ Love itI love this game!!! Helps me when I’m feeling down. 😊.Version: 3.9
✓ Wonder WomanI grew up with this game, many hours of trickery, slugging and fooling the opponents. This particular games has no volume control which is making the game unfun when it’s so loud all the time!.Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaLove it. just dont like that i have to pay for up grade.Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaA great game!.Version: 3.0
✓ Excellent, accurate Canasta gameMuch better than the previous app I downloaded that was upgraded but failed to adhere to the rules. Lots of options to choose and appears to play sensibly..Version: 4.1
✓ Love this game butThough I will keep enjoying this app, I have noticed the opposing or AI team is always allowed to pick up the discard pile with having melded previously with a certain suit (aside from wild cards and black threes of course), and even if they do not have said suit in their hands, but the human player team is never allowed the same if they do not have said suit in their hands (after melding that suit). That is, what the AI team is allowed to do is in keeping with traditional rules , but the human player team having to hold onto a few representative cards seems to provide am undue advantage to the opposing team. Anyone else notice the same dynamic or imbalance?.Version: 4.1
✓ CanasataGreat format , enjoy the partner playing mode.Version: 4.1
✓ Yay Canasta!!I’m just so glad there’s a decent game out there to play Canasta. Would definitely be more fun to play against actual people and maybe improve it slightly but over all it’s an excellent app! The only thing that’s a little petty to complain about but it’s when you pick up a pretty large pile of cards and it’s hard to click on what you need. So a zoom feature may help. But very petty. I love how this game is pretty accurate to the real thing, even better to not charge to upgrade the features, but I do appreciate barely any ads..Version: 3.0
✓ Great gameAwesome game to play solo that is both quick and challenging highly recommend.Version: 3.0
✓ Great gameFast paced and lots of fun. Well done..Version: 3.9
✓ CanastaGreat game Better play for the computer ‘partner’ than other alternatives that used to drive me crazy with dumb play.Version: 3.0
✓ Still needs improvingThe partner makes too many basic mistakes which is very frustrating..Version: 3.0
✓ CanastaReally enjoying the game of canasta. A few different rules, but I am enjoying it anyway..Version: 2.1
✓ CanastaI have always enjoyed the game of canasta, now I can keep up my skills. It makes you think, how can I outwit the other opponents. Sometimes I call a red herring, I might have say five cards the same in my hand. I will sacrifice a couple of cards, to see if the opponent will throw me the same card, especially if the discard pile is high or frozen. It has worked for me in the past. Well I hope you get as much joy, as I do..Version: 4.1
✓ Great gameEnjoy playing this should have the hand and foot version as well.Version: 3.9
✓ SuperReally good to see how many cards are on the pile, and showing up Canastas , in green. I enjoy playing it.😁.Version: 4.1
✓ CanastaPlayed this some years ago (pre phones) great thinking game👍🏻.Version: 3.0
✓ Great late night gameI play quite a few games and like to finish with this one at night it’s relaxing and easy , and worth trying if you haven’t already.Version: 3.0
✓ The best canasta app!I’ve tried them all - this one is best. Save your time and just go with this one.Version: 2.1
✓ GameNot a bad game.Version: 3.3
✓ CanastaI grew up playing this game, I still enjoy it and want to invite people I know me to play on line Please someone let me know how I can do this.Version: 3.0

✓ Canasta is awesome gameLots of fun.Version: 3.4
✓ Needs tweakingI have. Been playing canasta for over sixty years, taught my children too. Please upgrade your game by making it more intelligent and not so easy to win.Version: 3.0
✓ One of the bestI previously rated the paid version 3 stars because my opponent was a bonehead and made moves that continually caused us to get low scores and lose. Partner was immediately fixed but now the opponents are not the most challenging. This game has the best appearance and playing options of all the games out there. To the developer: I wish I had the option to pick my opponents skill, and my partners skill. I want a game that’s going to make me think. The only real request I have is to be able to play a 4 player game AND a 2 player game. Adding a hand and foot option would be nice and if you come out with that let me know. Thanks!.Version: 2.1
✓ Good versionBest free version I have found Only issue for me is it allows you to pick up the pack without first showing you have the count in your hand to so so Not with standing this issue i highly recommend this version.Version: 2.1
✓ Canasta - my favourite game.It’s a good app. It would be nice if you could ask your partner if you could go out. Frustrates me when the partner won’t pick up cards from the deck :)) Fast game. Enjoy it a lot..Version: 4.0
✓ Terrible UpdatesYour partner plays against you & makes most of the canastas for the opposing team. They won’t discard black 3’s or go out when they can. They hold onto cards that would make a canasta or they discard it so you’re struggling to go out. Whatever updates were recently made really ruined this version. If you like playing 3 against 1 & a partner who sabotages your plays, this is the one for you!.Version: 3.3
✓ CanastaGreat game good fun....Version: 1.0
✓ The gameI find some of the moves from others very unrealistic and frustrating.Version: 3.6
✓ Brings back happy memoriesMy family used to play Canasta regularly but I had forgotten what fun it was. I am now really enjoying taking it up again. Easy rules and a joy to play..Version: 3.0
✓ Better than mostI have downloaded several canasta apps and so far this is the best. Still needs a bit of work, but still rate it 4 stars.Version: 3.0
✓ Awesome !!!Great game, heaps of fun ... :).Version: 1.0
✓ Awesome game but..It’s very close but there is 3 things I would like to say. PLEASE add a setting where a canasta is required for positive points, I.e. when the round is over, if you done have a canasta all your points are negative, and also an option where you can always pick up the top card in the discard pile(except joker, 2 or black 3). And finally an option where when you when you pick up the discard pile you can only use the top card until it’s your turn next, then you have the whole pile available. Otherwise it’s fantastic..Version: 3.2
✓ CanastaLove this game. Quite addictive for a retired person..Version: 3.0
✓ CanastaThis particular Canasta is the best one I've tried so far. Layout is superior, ease to follow is the best, and while not 100% is by far my preferred one and have re-installed same game after a bug that meant games went to almost 10000 points before you got a win but it is still better than the others I tried..Version: 2.1
✓ Surprisingly good!Most free app deluge you with ads and interruptions - this one doesn’t - at least not yet. The graphics are great, animation smooth, game play simple. I’d give it 5 stars - except I think it has the rules wrong: it lets you pick up the pile and use cards other than the top one to make the required score up lay down a first meld. It also seems the computer player in the solo game is pretty lame - even set to highest difficulty. Other than that - great game!.Version: 4.1
✓ Team player hidden cardsI like the game and play every day. My suggestion for improvement is to move the points or the team players from the upper screen. At the end of a game I like to know what my team had in his hands and it is always blocked by the accumulated points..Version: 4.1
😕 Canasta. Negative Reviews
