Canasta

For a paid app this feels like a work in progress Since people are forking over money for the app the developers need to work on the AI for both 1 on 1 and 2 on 2 games Theres little fun in beating unworthy opponents        Great UI terrible AI

Please read your reviews and respond to them by fixing this The reviewers are all correct and explain the problem well When will you fix it Its annoying having a dumb partner        Frustrating

This game is so frustrating The partner is stupid Why is the game played the way it is Who in there right mind would put a wild card on a red canasta and turn it to black Who would put wild cards on a canasta and ignore making other canastas that are on the board Trust me if there was another one I would not be playing this one           Bimela

The app itself is easy to use but I always win the game because my opponent plays her cards down to only one card in hand and can never canasta There is absolutely no competition ever It makes it a very BORING game     Crazy playing

Pretty good game Can play doubles or you vs computer Your partner however isnt as smart in playing You can adjust the computers level of knowledge but it comes out about the same Still a good game when you need something to do                 Canasta Lite

This games a fun game to play butit has glitches I wish it were more realistic Its hard to play with a partner Make it a little more realistic and fix the glitches           Fun game BUT

I agree that the AI should be smarter but what really bothers me is that I PAID for the version to get rid of all the ads and find in the last few days that every time I open the PAID version a fullscreen ad for another game comes up Bad business        Ads in paid version

The discard pile does not always make it into your hand when the pile is picked up Same goes for the opponent when they pick up the discard pile the opponent does not always discard a card to begin a new discard pile This is a real bummer and inhibits the proper playing of the game Please fix the bugsglitches        Too many glitches

New version keeps crashing Also it is hard to see the cards upside down on the top It is the only canasta game available for the iPad For the iPhone version do the same Turn the cards for better viewing Now with the new iPad Air there is double vision graphics Please fix           Needs fixing

The game is really good but the computer partner is horrible I love playing four handed but my computer partner is very frustrating I should be able to choose partners along the way as in other games with different skill levels Also after paying for this app why do I still see ads I would give it five stars if it wasnt for the partner           Partner

I wrote a review then decided to DELETED this app Then I down loaded it again after the update but it seems to get worse the longer i play it If you play canasta good DO NOT BUY THIS APP PLEASE WORK ON THIS APP I love this game but Im sick of having a partner that cant play Every time the deck is frozen instead of playing a card that they already have down they ALWAYS play a new card which nine times out of ten they pick up They also hold all their cards when picking up the deck even if the other team already has a canasta only 1 card in their hand They also play a wild card on a pile that is not near a canasta when the pile next to it would make a canasta with that wild card It will discard a card that is needed to make a canasta when they still have 510 cards in their hand When playing with just two players I have NEVER lost On 4 players my partner plays a bit better than it does on 2 but not much PLEASE PLEASE teacher your partners how to play better or make a non partner choice so we have a more even chance of winning You fixed the other problems the app was having but seemed to make worse problems I wont buy another app from your company or recommend anyone else do so until you try to do something about this This is a shame because I really like your game Im just sick of playing with a player that cant play worth a crap If I play only 2 players it was tooooo easy if I play with four my partner would lose the game for me so there is no winning     Needs work now

This game needs to be fixed It picked up the deck and did not use the cards from the deck I always win No challenge     Canasta

There should be a setting where player can decided whether to draw one or two cards as well as other game setups Also the game sometimes does not discard when it has cards in its hand        Ms

Sidr00 said it all The logic of this game is sick and desperately needs to be updated           Awful logic

Id like to select a character to represent me while playing I do not know how to do that or if in fact thats possible Otherwise its a great game              Correction needed

I love this game but it comes with so many glitches When I am close to going out it wont let me pick up the pile              Love it

Horrible     Canasta

Agree 100 with other users comment about logic This game could be a major hit if they would fix that           Poor logic coding

The AI players have really bad game logic When you are playing with one as a partner they will make bizarre plays When playing against one without partners you will never lose and the game is quickly boring Id also prefer the option to be able to draw two cards Otherwise your opponent AI can never hope to win as they meld all but one card asap and then cannot pick up the pile or ever have enough cards to make a canasta           No bugs but bad logic

Fair game but needs to cycle more hands instead of repeating the same ones over and over Fix that and Ill gladly give you 5 stars              Canasta

I dont think that I would play more than one game with a real life partner who was as ignorant of the game as my computer partner is in this game Please fix this Need option for new partner        Arghhh

Good game but no option for drawing two cards per turn Makes for a really long game           Draw Two

First the game worked well An upgrade resulted in a bug that caused the game to keep restarting sometimes in the middle of a hand The bug was fixed and the game worked well until the same bug bit again It continues to restart I really like the game when it plays nice with me 21315 The game continues to have problems It freezes and wont restart without having to delete the app and downloading again As others have noted the game is not always logical in the play For instance the app player will go out by discarding a wild card or card that is on that players board instead of using it for points I continue to play it because I consistently win It is very easy           Confused

It is very frustrating to have AI partner who melds wild cards on existing canastas instead of on one that could lead to another canasta Even discarded a card that would have created a canasta Ugh        Logic is terrible

Keeps deleting my comments if nickname already chosen Sick of ads in paid version     Fourth time Ive written remarks

I love the game but my partner make some VERY dumb moves           Dumb partner

No challenging at all        Too easy

Adding jokers to natural canastas freezing the deck with nonwild cards and other actions make this a very unenjoyable game Card Shark is MUCH BETTER     Built in cheat

Can partner be more supportive in game Stop holding cards that can be played           Canasta

This game froze up and I have to abort and restart the game I had a great game Guess the computer didnt like losing that badly        Canasta

Canasta does not make sense The computer can pick up from the discard pile when she has cards on the table but I cannot Not Fair at all     Canasta

Great app but its maddening playing with an AI partner that makes terrible errors All same issues as listed in other reviews plus AI will hold cards in hand that should be put down in meld to get closer to having canastaI had to lay out almost all my cards to make the 120 so I had 1 card in my hand and my partner had nine and kept discarding wilds and our meld cards when we desperately needed to make a canasta so I could go out It was infuriating Not fun at all to play with mistakes in logic like this           Faulty logic

This game is good but it often crashes requiring me to reboot my iPad Air My iPad is totally up to date The program is too buggy for a paid app     Good but

When I am nearing the end of one hand have a large discard stack I have a pair but it wont let me draw from the discards Once it starts not allowing me to draw from discards I cant draw at all for the remainder of the hand no matter how many pairs I have that I SHOULD be able to pick up VERY aggrivating     Discard stack is closed

Besides learning the rules to this game you might want to learn the strategy before you make an app     Learn the game

This game is awfulthe computer cheats all the timeand your partner is the computerwith no logicit throws out cards to the other playersnot for its partnerand the computer dealsand has red threes always Fix this awful game     Canastanasty

This game works great No crashing no ads paid version and its very fast and addicting However the logic is awful I get so frustrated I end up yelling at my phone A player would never play a wild card on a meld that cannot become a canasta if there is an available meld that could be made into a canasta Nor would they play wilds on existing canastas instead of on other melds Or discard their last card instead of making a canasta with it Please upgrade the IQ of the computer players especially my partner           Great function terrible logic

Agree with the existing reviews about the downsides of this game Makes me crazy when it freezes and crashes Can this be fixed in an update Hope so because 399 is a lot for this app with these problems Logic is horrible and my playing partner is stupid It seems that I am the partner who melds first the majority of the time           Not worth 399

I agree with many of the reviews out here Play dynamics is great visuals are good but the UI is an idiot It plays wilds on canastas instead of other stacks discards on going out instead of playing that card on a stack Also you shouldnt be able to pick up cards of a closed canasta The UI will hold cards that could make a canasta after picking up the discard pile It plays cards down when the deck is frozen instead of holding them it has even played a wild down to play cards down Please update One other item I have noticed is that the paid version keeps asking me to play skat I dont want ANY ads on a paid version UPDATE There is also no way to write to the company support to log bugs For example I was playing a two player game and the AI laid down all but one card and was no where near a canasta In addition I have seen the computer go down to one card and then not discard and it was then my turn AND still get ads in the paid version Dont buy folks     UI is horrible

I do like the game but its been crashing Please update the game              Lets play the game

At the end of a hand I cant pick up the pile even though its not frozen Too many bonehead partner moves        Canasta

This app is not worth buying The logic to this game is so pitiful and not worth playing Please upgrade the IQ of the computer player        Lousy Logic

Please fixmy favorite game but partner doesnt know how to play Wastes wild cards on previously closed canastas instead of making new ones Also player to right sometimes doesnt discard So frustrating I dont understand why every other game provides updates to correct problems yet this game never improves please fix it        Pleasepleaseplease FIX this game

The game it self I very good I bought this game to get rid of the advertisements but they are still them so dont buy it     Dont buy this game

When the computer gets into a bind such as only having two cards left in its hand with no book made yet it goes nuts It lets me gather a lot of cards in my hand but when I try to lay them into books it locks up and makes me take a count even when I still have many many cards to lay down It just did this and it gave me 3200 points when I would have made over 10000 if I could filled the books This has happened several times I guess the programmer was a sore loser        Wont let me win big

Awesome                 Canasta

This is a good card game if you want to win every time                 Canasta

Beautiful presentation but lacks good logic for AI partner some explanation of rules are not clear and no sound I like being able to run my music in the background but wish there was some card sounds something subtle not overbearing and the ability to turn the sound off for those who dont want it Oh and you misspelled Canasta You need at least one Canata to finish           Why only 3 stars

Great for a free app No complaints              Like it

Previously cd play as partners after upgrade to iOS 8 cannot        Partner Play
