Canasta!

I love this game and it is really hard to find someone that knows how to play this game. I learned to play canasta when I was a young girl but playing with my grandparents. I love to play, but I can’t find anyone to play nor can I find anyone who knows how to play. The one thing about this game is that whether you’re playing online with other players or off-line it seems that you’re playing with bots, and it never allows you to play the way you want to play whether you have enough points to play or not these glitches need to be fixed Period! I have a brain and I have strategies that I would like to use. I don’t need a computerized game, telling me how to play or deciding what card. This game is great otherwise, just very aggravating because of this and it does cost you to lose the game and a lot of points so otherwise I’m waiting for you to fix this so I don’t have to stop playing my game.

So as of this writing, there are two positive reviews which, honestly seem a bit suspicious. The game has a number of bugs including: 1) Allowing the AI to discard their final card without having a canasta, but not ending the game and having to draw one card the next round...which it can’t discard so you have to restart; 2) not recognizing that you have put the cards back after an unsuccessful meld with the discard pile, resulting in having to reset; and 3) to being able to discard when you have an unsuccessful meld from the discard pile resulting in having to reset the game. Those are the last three I came up against in the last 15 minutes of playing. As mentioned by others there are issues with the rules (e.g. diamond red 3s are put to side and add 100 pts. each to your score while hearts do not for some reason and are treated like black 3s) which also can cause frustration. Unlike what another reviewer wrote, it is buggy, not just a very simple app.

This is a simple card game app. It doesn’t really have bugs, it’s just the designer made it simple without a lot of bells and whistles. I like it.
