Canasta Junction

The ads keep getting longer and longer but it isn’t a big deal if you just close the game and then reopen it. The game does not keep a long term count of wins & losses. No problem unless you have no internet (think airplane and you won’t be able to open the game at all)…but I just pull out my book and read for 5 minutes, then go back to the game. Great game but things to be aware of that the programmers do to make the game harder: * Your bot partner will typically not hold on to 7’s but will have 2 Aces. And, it is programmed to ALWAYS drop a 7 after it melds. If you pick up the pack near the end, do not plan on your partner to have ANY 7’s. BUT, Bot 1 & 3 have been programmed to keep two 7’s! *You and your bot partner will be dealt opposite cards so pay attention to what your partner drops. * Your partner (BOT 2) is programmed to regularly holds 4, 5 and/or 6’s when you need 155 or 180 to meld, so it will quite often not have enough points to do a meld…you will have to. *Typically, you will draw a 7 or an Ace on the last draw or two. Big problem if you pick up the pile near the end and try to dump all of your 7’s & Aces, so be aware! All that said, I love this game and play it A LOT. Since I stopped watching the ads, the game has been much more enjoyable! STOP WATCHING THEIR ADS🤩

Help! I feel like I’ve gone back in time…the new version of CJ is awful. Print is too small, cards are too small. (You know these are mostly boomers playing this game. ) Game cards fly around too fast. The analog clock was better, it was easier to get a quick view of remaining time. At the conclusion of a hand you can’t see your partner or opponent’s left over cards so you can’t see if you would have made that wild card canasta or 7s canasta. The opening screen has no aesthetic value at all, but makes it feel like some guy did the layout in his basement without knowledge of current technology. Really, I don’t think anyone likes the new version better. I may stop playing because I find the changes annoying. First Murphy law; Don’t fix what is not broken!

I have been using the Cansta Junction Ap for at least 2 years. I pay yearly for it. About 6 weeks ago the ap stopped working. I was able to reach the developer who was able to restore it after about an hour of trying. It was put on my apple computer because we couldn’t get it on the iPad, which is how I usually play. We also couldn’t get it on my iphone. I paid a second subscription fee that was to be removed after two weeks if it was running well. It was. It came back to both my iPads and phone. Now, it has stopped working again! I’ve reached out to the developer twice, and left a message on the ap service site. Still NO CANASTA JUNCTION! This is not just my problem now, but the other players who have set aside time for our games. I’ve contacted Apple and everything is fine from their vantage point on my iPad. To pay twice for something that still is freezing up, makes no sense. If this is not fixed soon, I’ll let many more people know about this issue. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it??
